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.

My Review:
Another book with one of my favorite witches, Jazz...and her hunky vampire boyfriend Nick. Yum!!!  In the second book of the Hex Series, Jazz is having nightmares and so is Nick.  Someone is out to get both of them.  Not only is Jazz and Nick having trouble, but so are Jazz's bunny slippers.  (Poor bunny slippers...have been accused of eating a were-shifter).  Now it's up to Jazz to find out if they did or not.  She is forced to lock them out in a magical cage, until she can come up with what happened actually.  In the mean awhile, Jazz is dealing with other dilemmas of her own.  Like stated before, someone is out to get both Jazz and Nick.  Their relationship is being affected.  There is one time after waking up that Jazz comes down with a serious condition, that even has Nick running for cover.  Hopefully, they can figure it out before something serious happens to them or one of them.
My thoughts on Hex Appeal was of course...I'm so glad to read more about Jazz and Nick.  *sigh*  Love both of those two characters.  I even got to read about my fave bunny slippers.  Another shoe apparel were introduced in this book too, which I would mind having also.  Darn Jazz and her awesome wardrobe.  I felt terrible for both Jazz and Nick and what they were going through. I was upset when Nick ran when Jazz needed him the most.  (The jerk!).
I did find myself putting down the book every once in awhile because it didn't have the same appeal as the first book, but it did not prevent me from stop reading.  I wanted to find out who was attacking both Jazz and Nick.  I also wanted to know who was framing the bunny slippers.  (I know they're deadly slippers...but they're so cute...yes...I said cute).
I loved the humor in this book of course.  Linda knows how to make me laugh.  I always love a good paranormal book that has some humor in it.
When Jazz found out who was behind the nightmares, I wanted to hurt the person just like she did.  Grr! How dare that person attack Jazz over something silly.
I do believe "Hex Appeal" will be my least favorite in the series, but it will not stop me from reading the third book in the series when I have some down time.  I want to find out what happens next to Jazz.
I recommend this to readers who love a little humor in their book and readers who love the paranormal.  

50 Ways to Hex Your Lover

Description:

Jazz can't decide whether to scorch him with a fireball or jump into bed with him.

Jasmine Tremaine, a witch who can't stay out of trouble.

Nikolai Gregorivich, a drop-dead gorgeous vampire cop on the trail of a serial killer.

The sizzling love affair between Jazz and Nick has been off-again, on-again-for about 300 years. Mostly off, lately. But now Nick needs Jazz's help, and while Jazz and Nick try to figure out their own hearts and resist their ever-increasing attraction, they must steer clear of a maniacal killer with super-supernatural powers. They are surrounded by a hilarious cast of oddball paranormal characters, including Irma, the chain-smoking ghost who haunts Jazz's sports car, Dweezil, her ghoul of a boss, and Fluff and Puff, a pair of bunny slippers with sharp teeth and short tempers (watch your ankles)!

My Review:

If you like humor to your Paranormal Stories...you will definitely enjoy this book, "50 Ways to Hex Your Lover".  Linda Wisdom and her writing style has won me over.  After reading the first two books to her "Demon Series", which is a spin off to the Jazz Tremaine Series...she definitely has a fan for life.  I wish I would've known about the Jazz Tremaine Series first though.  You learn some things about the Witches in this series to prepare for the Demon Series.  Oh well...I'm enjoying the Jazz Tremaine Series so far and looking forward to reading the next book.

First off, any book that involves a Witch that throws a fireball, a pair of bunny slippers that actually can eat you, and a sports car that has a ghost in it to keep you company...is a MUST-Read for me.  

I fell in love with the characters in this book...especially, the bunny slippers.  Can I get a pair for real?  No one would go through my shoes ever again to borrow.  Hehe!  

Jazz is a cool-ass witch who I would love to be.  She even has a sexy ex boyfriend who is a Vampire, who seems to come back into her life every once in awhile and stir up old feelings again.  Why did they break up in the first place?  

In this book, Nick, her sexy, gorgeous ex-boyfriend needs Jazz's help.  Some reason, Vampires are disappearing.  Why would Jazz want to help him though because her past is coming back to haunt her and she wants to kill the "Evil" Man, or thing, whatever he is, for good...because she thought she had already killed him.  

This book is full of twists and turns that will take you for a ride.  You will be laughing and also grinning.  You'll even get mad.  I really enjoyed reading every single chapter in this book.  

Any book that can me suck into the world that the Author created, is a keeper to me.  

Highly Recommended to readers who need a good laugh and need a break from dramatic books.  Definitely for Paranormal Lovers and Vampire Addicts.  It's about time a Good Witch Series is out there.  =)
