There was nothing that could have prepared me for Dragon’s Ground. And I thought that nothing could be worse than what I faced there. Just my black cat bad luck, the world is set to prove me wrong. South lies the Jinn’s Dominion and within it the members of my Pride who need my help. The further south we go, the more danger comes not only from outside our group but from within. Ishtar’s new …
Ishtar’s new hunters.
Marsurm leader of the Jinn.
And the Emperor himself.
All three want something from me. All three claim they can give me the world on a silver platter, to give me my deepest desires.
Color me cautious, but I think all three are lying. Or so it seems until I reach the Jinn’s Dominion and discover the truth…
About who I really am.
And what that means for my fate and the fate of those I love.

Oracle’s Haunt (Desert Cursed Series Book 4)

Jinn’s Dominion swept me away. We are pulled right into the story and Zamira’s journey to rescue her Pride.
We have heartbreak, tears, non-stop action, and adventure. The world building continues and we learn things that put is on an emotional roller coaster ride, will surprise use, and put things into context.
Lila is a fabulous secondary character. She adds humor when things are looking down, she keeps it positive and try’s to lighting up the mood. She always makes me laugh. Zam is a spitfire. She goes above and beyond for those she loves and she never gives up. I just love her and seeing her character grow, become more confident, take on things she never thought she would, and lose things she wanted to hold dear. It’s a battle for her at every turn, yet she still fights.
I had a blast reading Jinn’s Dominion. I love where things are going and I love the non-stop action. I can’t wait for the next installment to arrive. Urban Fantasy fans will throughly enjoy this series. It’s got unique characters, a verity of myths and legends, a stock pill of supernaturals, and a kick-ass heroine.
**Note: The series does need to be read in order.
Rated: 4 Stars
Shannon Mayer is one of my absolutely favorite authors! It’s no wonder, and you probably agree as you’ve more than likely read the first 2 books in this series. There are quite a few twists that I was quite surprised about, but I was glad to learn more about Zamira. I cannot wait for the next installment in this series!!
Jinn’s Dominion is the 3rd in the Desert Cursed Series. Filled with laughter, tears and at times, shattering heartbreak, we pick up with Zam, Lila, Maks and assorted others, in for another wild ride. Shannon masterfully picks up where she left off in Dragons Ground, and we hit the ground running, with alot of *I didn’t see that coming* along the way! Sit back and enjoy the ride
I am obsessed with this series. Bought the next book and started immediately.
Great series.
The action and the plot is ramping up for Zam and her group. As they begin to make their way to Jinn’s Dominion, Marsum takes over Maks mind, and he seems lost to Zamira, but his few moments of clarity prove that Maks is still there, and she will need to break free without him. We find out more about both Zamira and Maks, and their pasts – some of it a bit surprising, some I sorta guessed, but still huge revelations. And Zamira needs to rescue her pack from Marsum, and she will add to her pack as she goes and receives aid from unexpected places…
This book is nonstop and there is some heartbreaking moments that I hope will resolve in future books – a highly recommended series.
Good series
The twists and turns in this book were enough to make my head spin. It’s very well done; there’s just so much that happens that you definitely don’t expect to ever happen. The plot by now is thoroughly established; though it changes and morphs with each new development. New characters are introduced, and you can’t help but become attached quickly. Most of the book has been a build-up to this pivotal face-off between Zam and Marsum which drove me to read with abandon to see what will happen next. Brilliantly, and living up to her sadistic side, she ramps up the anticipation when something bad is about to happen by hinting at it which hooks you even further. There are times where you don’t think you can take any more bad, but have to keep going. Surprisingly, there is a bit of humor in the book when she references a sick and sadistic author, and a riff on Dr. Seuss which is awesome. I’ll be diving into the next book shortly!
Picked up right where Dragon’s Ground left off! I love the way Shannon Mayer has the ability to hook you right back into the story. Excellent world building. The characters are fantastic. I’m enjoying the storyline and can’t wait to see what happens next!
I just finished Jinn’s Dominion – OMG, I thought it was a trilogy – Dying! So excited that Zam’s story isn’t finished. Shannon Mayer is incapable of putting out a bad series – and I should know, I’ve read them all!
The story itself could be considered a light-hearted fantasy jaunt, but Mayer has given such a thorough background to each character that the reader understands clearly that the humor (for the most part) covers anything from insecurities to deeper wounds like abandonment, bullying, and the tragedy of seeing a parent murdered. Mayer is able to portray her characters’ flaws by allowing them to react honestly to any given situation; with anger, humor, and tears. The humorous scenes will make you LOL (especially between Zam and her ex Steve!!). It should be noted that the sister love between Zam and Lila is classic, but my favorite character is still Maks – think tortured soul (Edward Cullen before he dated Bella) with a dad as horrible as Jafar from Aladdin (but good looking).
What will you take away from this book, the whole series really – the meaning of perseverance. Zamira never quits, against all odds (about 580 massive odds), she remains full of heart and determination, love and killer skills!!

Wow, book three is loaded with excitement, battles, and truths. Zam has grown and has hard choices to make now that her pride comes before her own desires. It’s not easy being an Alpha. Luckily Lila has her back and is ready to give you a laugh.
Great book in the series.
Good series, waiting for the last one.
Fantastic edition to the series! Sam and pals take on the Jinn to rescue friends and along the way have quite an adventure! This book has it all from humor, to sadness, to fighting, to achievement, and a few surprises along the way. Looking forward to the next book! The narrator did a fantastic job with providing unique voices for each character and appropriate tone inflections for each scene.
What a wild ride! I’m speechless! When I dive into any Shannon’s book I never expect less than another shock but she always surprises and amazes me more I could dream. The storyline is just phenomenal acton packed fast paced full of turns and twists. More magical and supernatural power. Head spinning, heart touching and breath holding moments kept me on the edge all the time. It gets better and better with each book if this is even possible and it is! This definitely is a must read! OMG I can’t wait for the next one!
Not bad, or like this author, I’ve read some of her other series that I liked better. I like this series enough to buy all three.
Jinn’s Dominion is awesome.. I loved the story line and the characters. The main character Zam is a spunky lady of power. Lila is a cool little dragon and Zam’s best friend…
This book is filled with lots of action, surprises and a lot of snarky bantor.
The author created an awesome amazing world when she wrote book 1 Witches Reign. I read all 3 books out ( Witches Reign, Dragon’s Ground and Jinn’s Dominion) so far and loved them all. My favorite so far is Jinn’s Dominion.. many secrets are revealed about Zam and I did not see them happening.. I loved reading this book.. and you will too
Interesting characters, almost non-stop action, engrossing story, romance but not real heavy on the steam (doesn’t dominate the story). In short, all the elements that I like. This is a great series and I very much like Shannon Mayer’s writing. I recommend that you read this series in order to get the full enjoyment.
Awesome series
Holy #%*#
Speechless!! If you are considering reading this series, trust me look no further. Shannon has a way of pulling a reader into a world and turn your head upside down! What a freakin ride!! Wow!! I’m absolutely shell shocked and dying to find out what happens next in this crazy ride!! If your not sure of UF is for you, I promise you will love this series and it will turn you into a fan!!
