The Cobra King of Kathmandu -Reviewed by Paul C.

"The children gasped, for the man marked for death by Guru Masamjhasara was none other than Mr. Groanin." This is only one of the intriguing lines of the story, The Cobra King of Kathmandu. This is the third book of the Children of the Lamp series. The main characters of this series are John and Philippa Gaunt. These two siblings are twins that were living a normal life until one day they had their wisdom teeth extracted. That extraction enabled the two to use superhuman, djinnn powers. They discovered that they descended down from a long race of djinn, preferably known to humans as genies.
The two had to train their supernatural skills with their uncle, Nimrod, who trained them all the ancient djinn laws and rules, along with a few tips with the help of an elderly djinn by the name of Mr. . They learned much and travelled afar in the previous two books to Babylon, and to Egypt to stop a nefarious plot hatched by the evil djinn tribe of the Ifrit. They foiled the polt and imprisoned the most reprehensible djinn of all, Iblis. They travel far and learn much as djinn until they come across a problem that tops all their adventures until now.
After receiving an e-mail from fellow djinn friend, Dybbuk, they travel to an old cottage and find that a killer group has killed innocent civilians in search for a treasure in the possession of Dybbuk. The twin djinnn embark on a journey that takes them to the center of a group that supposubly went down in the 1950's but is back and up to a task that is beyond what the twin djinn have ever faced before.
This book deserves five out of five stars becuase this book tops the rest of the series by a mile. It has the right blend of suspense, thrill, action, and it takes unpredictable turns that drive the book up to five stars. I highly recommend this book and this series to anyone that loves a good fiction series.
