Let the Trials begin…
The time has finally arrived! The Trials are in full swing and celebratory parties fill The Isle as Candidates go head-to-head to prove themselves worthy of the coveted Ranger title. Drinks, dances, and masquerade balls set the stage for a glamorous series of events until suddenly, it all changes.
The most dangerous criminal on the island escapes from prison. Tragedy strikes. The Isle is thrown into chaos due to old, forbidden black magic, and only one person can help.
As the island’s Mixologist, Lily is expected to step in and save the day. When she’s forced to keep secrets from X while deciphering decades old clues, however, she’s pushed to the edges of her sanity.
With the help of her family, The Core, and her new boyfriend, X, Lily must stop The Puppeteer from taking over the island before it’s too late.
Because if she doesn’t succeed, nobody will.
Welcome back, Islanders.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Ahhhh! Jinx and Tonic…. where do I even begin? I think I say it every single time, but this is by far Gina’s best work to date. The pieces to the puzzle are starting to fall into place little by little only to for you to realize that the puzzle is bigger than you realized and there are more pieces you need to complete it.
“Inky invisible fingers of black magic seeped through my skin. It leaked into my veins, coursing through my body as I opened the nameless cover.”
The world Gina has brought to life is just fascinating, we get to explore a new piece of the Isle and the descriptions are tangible. I lived and breathed this book. Days later and I still can’t get enough. I hope Gina is writing the next book in the series. The next book in this series will definitely be one of my most anticipated books of 2017.
Ranger X is still just as captivating and swoony as the first two books, if not more. Lily is really sinking into her role as Mixologist and we learn more about other side characters and we get more returning roles. I kept thinking I knew what was going to happen, but then the rug was pulled out from under me and I just fell flat and totally thrilled that I had no idea it was coming.
Jinx and Tonic will leave you in desperate need for more. If you haven’t started this series. JUMP. ON. IT.
