SYNOPSIS FROM AUTHORS WEBSITE⇣
When Aladdin discovers Zahra's jinni lamp, Zahra is thrust back into a world she hasn't seen in hundreds of years -- a world where magic is forbidden and Zahra's very existence is illegal. She must disguise herself to stay alive, using ancient shape-shifting magic, until her new master has selected his three wishes.
But when the King of the Jinn offers Zahra a chance to be free of her lamp forever, she seizes the opportunity—only to discover she is falling in love with Aladdin. When saving herself means betraying him, Zahra must decide once and for all: is winning her freedom worth losing her heart?

MY THOUGHTS⇣
Clearing out some of my backlog from the TBR shelf. I think I've put this one off, despite having it on my Audible account since July of 2016, due to not being interested in it...I'm not sure that I've ever watched the Disney version of the movie (cartoon or live-action) all the way through.
Regardless, I should have listened to this a long time ago...because I really enjoyed this reimagining of the tale of Aladdin and the Jinni, also the fantastic narration by Cassandra Campbell didn't hurt either. With familiar yet distinctively unique characters and an engaging, even somewhat badass, storyline, I was totally there for this.
Also, as a side note, I actually like the cover for the Audio more so than the original cover for the book...that usually never happens.
