City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty
A fantasy novel set in the middle east with Djinns and Ifrits rather than the usual Dragons and Orcs. Nahri is a con-artist and sometime healer living in 19th century Cairo. She accidentally summons a Djinn and an Ifrit during a grift gone wrong. The Djinn or Daeva named Dara becomes Nahri's protector as they race for the protection of the city of Daevebad. Things only get worse when they arrive.
Another book from the list of NPRs 50 best. I was hoping it was a standalone. it's not. Thankfully all the books are available from the library. I will continue.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
