Description:

The second book in the Hex series features feisty witch Jazz and her drop-dead gorgeous vampire cop boyfriend in a new installment. On again, off again for over 300 years, Jazz and Nick are finally back together, but then Jazz thinks Nick has bitten her. Separated again, upset and angry, the two of them start having violent, recurring dreams in which each one figures in disturbing and menacing ways. They can't sleep, they can't eat, and they finally figure out they'd better get together and discover who's poisoning their dreams-and their relationship. Full of the fantastic secondary characters that Linda Wisdom's fans know and love, including Jazz's sister witches and a cast of delectable supernatural male characters, Hex Appeal is fun and funny paranormal romance at its best. "Filled with loads of sass and sensuality, plenty of laughs and a host of oddball characters who'll leave you in stitches and asking for more." -Book Loons "With a rollicking cast of supporting characters, biting wit and sensual scenes, 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover is 'a high-power keg of excitement!'" -Coffee Time Romance 4 Star Review-Romantic Times: "Longtime series author Wisdom makes a wickedly fun jump into the supernatural realm. Offbeat characters...offer insight into this highly intriguing new heroine. The balance of danger, adventure and the supernatural is excellent. With characters as rich and challenging as these, let's hope we haven't seen the last of them." "Wisdom, no stranger to romance fans, delivers a striking opening salvo in her new paranormal series... a zany, hot read." -Booklist ** ### From Booklist Spirited curse-breaker Jazz is a witch who knows what she wants and how to get it. But two new wrinkles in her life stump her completely. There’s no way she believes the accusations that her beloved, if voracious, bunny slippers ate a wereweasel working at the local carnival, but proving their innocence will be difficult. It will take her best effort and a sharp mind, which require a good night’s sleep. But she hasn’t gotten many of those lately as nightmares plague her, and she suspects they’re caused by some form of wicked magic. Jazz and vampire detective Nick are back in their second imaginative and enjoyable adventure, following Wisdom’s 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover (2008). Jazz is as irascible, high-maintenance, and quick-tempered as ever, and Nick is the kind of vampire who loves her just the way she is. Though some of the cases they work on seem to not serve the story, the main tale is an intriguing look beneath the bravado of Wisdom’s characters to their inner fears and vulnerabilities. --Nina C. Davis ### Review "Jazz is as irascible, high-maintenance, and quick-tempered as ever, and Nick is the kind of vampire who loves her just the way she is...
