THIS BOOK SOUNDS AMAZING!!
I love a heroine who takes matters into her own hands and Shazi sounds so bad-a. Just knowing that she falls for her "enemy/target" has me giddy. Many of the reviews I've read have spoken positively about this book so I can't wait to get it in my hands!
I'm looking forward to this one, too. I think it's the first book I've seen based on 1001 nights.
