Gone Wishing: A Steel City Genie Novella

By Janeen Ippolito
Gone Wishing: A Steel City Genie Novella by Janeen Ippolito digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Fishing. Sibling bonding. Hungry, deadly bridge trolls.

My half-brother Gideon and I just wanted a lazy evening fishing along the Allegheny river. Considering we work crappy jobs in the Fae slums of Pittsburgh, we needed the break.

Then the bridge trolls show up. They grab Gideon as the main course, and me as an appetizer.
 

Normally, the Fae cops charge in to save the day. But when you're a half-genie with scattered magic and criminal status just for existing, no Fae show up to help you. Even if Gideon is the world's cutest otter shifter.
 

So it's up to me, Allis Evanenko, to get us out of this mess—and rescue the humans captured by the trolls.
 

Well, this should be fun. At least Gideon has a cello.

Buy now and enjoy a short novella prequel to The Steel City Genie series. Features snark-with-heart, quirky world building, a bit of romance, and magic cellos.

Gone Wishing: A Steel City Genie Novella Reviews

4.5
“<strong>Excellent welcome to the series!</strong> Allis is the perfect blend of sass, grit, and heart, with a strong moral compass; she looks to be my next favorite! I was curious enough about her interaction with Lord Antalek to seek out another mini novella, which left me SO intrigued about this series. Love the bond between siblings Allis and Gideon and need more of their backstory. Jack may be good for some comic relief; her kitsune rounds out the variety of paranormals represented. This is an excellent introduction to the "Steel City Genie" world, even with the brevity of the story, and certainly encourages me to continue in this series!”
