Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, and spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. This week I picked:
The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury
Details: Hardcover, 352 pages
Expected publication: February 23rd 2016 by Razorbill
Buy it: Book Depository
Summary: She is the most powerful Jinni of all. He is a boy from the streets. Their love will shake the world…
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?
As time unravels and her enemies close in, Zahra finds herself suspended between danger and desire in this dazzling retelling of Arabian Nights from acclaimed author Jessica Khoury.
Very nice cover

Gorgeous cover and blurb! Thanks for sharing, and here’s mine: “WHAT WAS MINE”
I love The Arabian Nights, so a retelling of the Aladdin story, is really appealing! Great pick! Thanks for sharing, I’m adding this one to my TBR! Here’s my WoW. Happy reading!
This one sounds good! I haven’t read anything by this author but I’ve heard nothing but good things about her past works.

This cover is breathtaking. I think this take on Aladdin is going to be good.
