The Wish Factor

When the baby cjinn, Younger Son, attempts to find his name, he ends up in a world he did not expect, filled with dangers he never dreamed of. (Bubba's origin story). This series is NOT a cozy series, though this story is definitely G-rated. The series, however, has hot vampire/freaky witch action.
"HE WASN’T VERY good at his wishing yet, although his mother kept telling him, “It will come, Younger Son. The power will come.” She spoke convincingly, with love in her voice, and every time she reassured him, he felt better. All he had to do was grow a little older, and keep practicing, and everything would be fine. He wasn’t sure if he believed her. Sometimes she didn’t sound entirely convinced, but he appreciated her trying. Meanwhile, his brother and sisters all had seemed to get the hang of wishing without a problem. They popped in and out, were summoning up mice and conjuring toys while Younger Son sat in the corner, focusing, desperate to make the hairball on the floor vanish. It hadn’t felt good coming up, and now it seemed to mock him, sitting there, a sodden pile of fluff and spit. “Listen to me. My brother didn’t get his first wish right until he was a year older than you. And even if it takes you longer, I have faith. I can sense the magic in you.” Mollikins, his mother, a beautiful calico cjinn, gave him a lick on the head. It didn’t do much for his cowlick, but he started to purr, secure in the knowledge that she loved him no matter what. It didn’t help any that he hadn’t heard his name yet, either, but Mollikins assured him that, too, would come. “You know that you’ll hear your name when you find your power. So quit fretting. Go play. It’s a beautiful day out, and the moths are swarming.”
