In this rowdy and raunchy urban fantasy, Lyla escaped an arranged marriage by accepting a deal from a jinni — to live a thousand years as a jinni herself. Now, with her millennia nearly up, she’s hiding out in a seedy Pittsburgh swarming with vampires, jinni and magical beings.

Meet Lyla, a thousand-year-old Jinn, a belly dancer, and the hottest new urban fantasy heroine in town.

With her thousand-year-long servitude ending, Lyla faces a few serious obstacles to freedom. A Magi intent on binding her again, a jinni bent on vengeance, and not to mention the nightmare from her past that threatens to make her curse permanent — and claim her very soul.

Jinn and Juice is a raucous, raunchy tale well told. One thing’s certain: you’ll never look at Pittsburgh the same way after you’ve taken Nicole Peeler’s mythic joyride up, down, and sideways in pursuit of an abducted teenage girl and freedom from a thousand-year curse. Legend and history, betrayal and love intertwine as the story moves from lascivious sex clubs to the unraveling of a mystery to a magical jinni throw-down which will leave you panting for more. Jinn and Juice is Urban Fantasy at its smartest, naughtiest, funniest best.” — Juliet Blackwell

  • "Peeler is perfect. Jinn and Juice is her best urban fantasy yet with vibrant characters that leap off the page fully formed from the first line. Fast-paced, rowdy, smart, irresistible, and tender, there's just no one who hits the urban fantasy marks as well as Peeler. Buy this book! Read it! Love it!"
    Kat Richardson on Jinn and Juice
  • "Peeler has done it again! Jinn and Juice is a delightful read filled with action, humor, heart, and a heroine to cheer for. And it doesn't hurt that there are also sirens, trolls, bugbears, and plenty of Pittsburgh steel."

  • "Snarky, sexy! Beautifully descriptive and painstakingly plotted. Lyla is a smart, sly and just this side of scary. Peeler's world-building is clever and complete with every possible fairy folk character! The other-worldly seems familiar and glamorous all at the same time. And I learned how to curse in a few new languages, so it was educational!"
    Molly Harper on Jinn and Juice
  • "Nicole Peeler is a master at weaving humor and romance together to create addictive stories and characters!"
    Richelle Mead on Jinn and Juice
  • "Rising star Peeler returns with a new Pittsburgh-set urban fantasy series featuring a cursed jinni... The supremely gifted Peeler adeptly builds her alternate Pittsburgh by making it a funky and magically polluted refuge for non-pureblood supernaturals. Fabulous characterization, witty dialogue and a clever plot make for a magically mixed-up tale that is both fun and thrilling!"
