Djinn by Sang Kromah
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

16-year-old Bijou Fitzroy (Jou Jou to her grandmother GiGi) is just starting out in a new town. Sykesville Maryland is a small town and she is excited and apprehensive at starting high school after being homeschooled by her Grandmother her entire life. Straight from the first moment in the new school, something seems off about it all and her student guide, Sebastian from Australia is even weirder than most. Mandy seems to be the typical mean girl cheerleader who has her eyes on Sebastian and will make Bijou’s life hell to get her out of the way.
What may seem like a typical high school drama story at first, soon blossoms into much more. Mythical creatures come to life and town folk go missing. Weird things keep happening around Bijou and she has to figure out exactly what makes her so special. I really enjoyed this story, the characters were well developed and you could feel that palpable tension in the air.
