This short story is perfect for reading over a cuppa as it takes less than an hour or so to read cover to cover. It serves as a prequel to the series and does an excellent job. I loved the plot and the characters as the story has a wonderful flow to it and keeps a nice steady pace.

Amazing Tale!
“Birth of the Sand Viper” is a short story that is well-written raw, emotional and unapologetic. The world-building is exceptional and in keeping with the theme. The Characters are artistically developed, realistic and authentic. This tale is a uniquely enjoyable read that I highly recommend!

Loved the description of spells and the whole world-building. Never seen Aladdin but I think I will maybe. This book piqued my interest.
Wow. This was quite a Dark twist on Jafar, the villain we all love to hate. I loved it. So dark, twisted, and sexy. Can’t wait for more from this amazing author and this amazing series.
This is a good short story about how Jafar became who he is. Shekinah is truly evil and her she never does take responsibility for what she had done to Mina. Good book, well written!

The back story to Jafar is an interesting but entertaining twist. This is an erotic novella so be prepared there are some hot graphic scenes. The story line is a twisty dark path that I found to be intriguing and kind of heart breaking. But from deep pain comes darkness and I am on board to see where this dark fairy retelling series goes. The narrator does a good job and kept my attention.
I really tried to like this one. I might try this one again later, but for now, I found it hard to read.
So, this is a short prequel of Flame’s new series Dark Immortal Flames and introduces us to the world of the Gynn and how Jafar not only became so powerful but also what caused him to become the character we love to hate in the Aladdin tale. In this steamy listen we find that Jafar was not always so dark hearted and we also learn what made him so…
Short, steamy and a fun storyline that flows well – this was a captivating read / listen that makes me eager for more! Narration was well done and made this a captivating listen.

Wow! A great short story that flips the roles of hero and villain so soundly. After reading this version of a backstory I actually feel sorry for Jafar! I can’t wait to finish reading this twisted fairy tale!

Dark Immortal Flames Series a well written story of how Jafar the Sand Viper came to be, it does leave us on a cliff-hanger of sorts. If Shekinah had not done what she did Jafar would have been a different person. I want to read the next book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Greed, lust, desire and love is all rolled up into this short story. I love the way LaSasha takes the reader through two different realms, bringing them together because of greed. With the death of an innocent, the whole race agrees to aid in their revenge… I’m not going to give it away, as I truly believe you should read through the twists and turns in this story. You will not regret it! The next book to come is going to be a doozy!!!
Extremely entertaining, captivating and interesting sexy read. I could not put it down. Wonderfully written with strong, intriguing characters. I want to read more from this author.

Everyone knows that Jafar is a bad guy, but most don’t know why he turned to darkness.
This is a dark and erotic tale which tells why Jafar turned evil, at least in this author’s world. The story is well written, but I can’t call it easy to read. Not because it is complicated, but because there are some rather violent and ugly scenes. But beyond that, the story is very good, with well developed characters that have emotions and motivations, be they both good and bad. Personally, I found the story to be very intriguing and overall enjoyable. I am definitely looking forward to the other books in this series.
Highly recommended.

This was an amazing story, and the author did an amazing job telling it. For some strange reason this particular book flew under my radar for a while, while I should have read it months ago, the moment it came out. Lesson learned, this author writes stories too good to miss, so for the next one I am dropping everything and reading it immediately.
Although I have been planning to read this author for a while, somehow it only happened now, so this is my first time really reading her work. What I can say about the author’s work is only the best. She has a way with words, and her unique writing style is raw and harsh, as the story she is presenting. It all fits perfectly to portray the harsh times, cruel actions, and sacrifice of individuals, that have changed fate of a whole nation.
The world the author has created here is beautiful and peaceful, until one person’s actions, supported by just two more individuals, convert it into something ugly, unfriendly and unpleasant. This is a great cautionary tale about consequences of greed. The author does it gradually, weaving the tale of Jinnis and humans and magic, using beautifully vivid descriptions, raw emotions, and realistic characters. Additionally, she adds her spin on the ancient legends and lore, which I enjoyed immensely.
The characters are beautifully developed, strong, determined, even the those whose actions are incredibly cruel. None of the characters yield. This was incredibly interesting and enjoyable to read. And there are consequences for everyone. Some parts of the story were incredibly powerful and heartbreaking. It was just wow!
I have to put a warning, this is not for the faint of heart, there is a scene or two there are superhot and there is violence. If you are not sensitive to the aforementioned, this is a must read. More stories have been announced and I can’t wait for the next story!
