Loretta bit her lip and took a deep breath before she peered into the keyhole and slid the pick into the narrow opening. "You will open for me," she murmured.

Loretta knows how to pick a lock faster than you can say "juvenile delinquent". But the sixteen year old's world spirals out of control fast after she breaks into an annex of the British Museum, accidentally unleashes an arrogant, immortal genie, and winds up trapped with him inside the lamp.

Finalist in the 2016 Global Launchpad Manuscript Competition with the same concept, I've released the full, re-edited version of the novel here 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

This book is completed (yay!)

But, it's not over, you can continue with the next leg of Loretta's journey in book two; The Fallout (also on Wattpad)
