About this ebook

Her rescuer. Her protector. But not his Chosen.

Two years after the Dying, Amber McCoy is still living rough, foraging in the ruins of the world to survive. The pickings are slim, but not as slim as the dating pool. She’s the last living soul in San Marino, California.

Except for them. Angels? Devils? All she knows is, one of them attacked her. And another one saved her, piercing her with night-black eyes and growling a single word — run. Since doing just that, she’s been utterly alone.

Idris, a djinn elder, is inspecting the lush, green grounds of his new estate when he encounters the young woman he saved, still impossibly fragile-looking and skittish as a wild doe. Luring her with the promise of comforts she’s been denied for too long, he begins the delicate process of convincing her that she has nothing to fear from him.

As these two lonely creatures spend more time together, each touch strengthening the current of desire humming between them, Idris is acutely aware that this idyllic time can’t last. Soon Amber will be forced to choose between two paths…neither of which can ever lead to his arms.

Ratings and reviews

Although all the Djinn stories (both series) are phenomenal, unspoken is in a class of its own. The story is about an elder and his attraction to a mortal woman. As an elder, he feels that he does not have the right to love and take a mortal as his chosen. The story is beautifully written. It is not only a love story, but also one that begins the road towards forgiveness of the almost full destruction of the world. It is truly an amazing read and I would highly recommend it, especially after reading all the Djinn stories in both series. I hope Ms. Pope will continue to move forward with more Djinn stories and their restructuring of the world and forgiveness theme for future generations.

Book twelve in the Djinn Wars series is amazing. As with most of the books in this series, it can be read as a stand alone, which is perfect. Christine is always sure to give a brief explanation of how the events that led to the end of the world came about. Not in a repetitive way, but from the main character’s point of view, typically the human. Amber ends up in a wild adventure, when two years after the world’s population is mostly decimated, a djinn elder by the name of Idris arrives in her hiding place. They had briefly encountered one another before, with Idris having saved her life. As the story unfolds, we get a beautiful love story between Amber and Idris that is interrupted by the djinn who had selected her to be his Chosen mate. Bariq whisks her away in an attempt to romance Amber. But there isn’t a real connection there. Idris and one of his fellow elders arrive in time to save Amber, leaving her with a choice to make. I have many of Christine’s books and they are always captivating stories. I go through a lot emotions every time I read one. I am sad that this is the last book in the series, but it’s a great book. Highly recommend this series of books as it’s a memorable one. I did receive an ARC.

I have read this entire series from the beginning and sadden that this is the end. Christine Pope’s “Unspoken” Book 12 of the Djinn Wars bridges a lot of things together, but still leaves enough for us to wonder what’s going to happen in this last book. Amber McCoy is still in hiding after 2 years of the Djinn’s “Dying” that eradicated all of mankind but for a few Chosen ones. One day she goes out of her hidey-hole and comes across Idris, a Djinn Elder. They are both surprised to see each other since all human beings were supposed to have been eliminated. This leads in a plot that is moving constantly with never a dull moment. It is a great story of a love that maybe denied as well as doing what’s right even when it’s hard. I love Christine’s creativity in this entire series, but one must read it from the beginning to fully understand the entire concept of this series.
