A Review of Hex Appeal by Linda Wisdom

Four Fabulous Fangs for Hex Appeal by Linda Wisdom

Hex Appeal is Linda Wisdom's second book in the Hex series starring sassy and sexy witch Jazz Tremain and so dark and gorgeous vampire boyfriend Nick. All seems well on the surface of Jazz's life until her bunny slippers get accused of eating a were-weasel and she starts having the most awful nightmares.

All hell breaks loose when Jazz closes her eyes, nightmares torment her every sleeping moment, leaving her with feelings both physical and emotional that stay with her long after she wakes up. Things she doesn't want to talk about, not even with Nick.

Jazz can only attribute her bad dreams to too much junk food for so long before admitting something is seriously wrong and it stinks of bad magick. When she finds out those closest to her are also being affected she knows someone has put a target on Jazz and the ones she loves, but who and why? Sure Jazz has made some enemies over the centuries but who would come at her like this? In her dreams?

Life goes on nightmares and all, Jazz has to save Fluff and Puff from a bogus murder rap, drive for Dweezil, and help Nick with his private investigator cases...so much to do on so little sleep. Will Jazz be able to save her precious bunny slippers or will she lose them forever? Will she and Nick find out who is behind the bad dreams before they tear them apart of Jazz finds herself in a nightmare she can't wake up from?

What a great book. I love the complex and entertaining world Wisdom has created with magickal characters and creatures of all calibers-all co-existing with humans- in Southern California. The Hollywood area is the perfect backdrop for Wisdom's magickal world though soon we'll see how life is for Witches outside of Hollywood in her upcoming books.

Wisdom's characters are fun, quirky, dark, dangerous, sexy and so much more. Jazz is such a feisty, sassy witch with fun quirks and Nick...well he does dark and brooding vampire so well. Then there's the annoyingly lovable ghost Irma and the cute and carnivorous bunny slippers Fluff and Puff. What a bunch of fun, out of the box characters. I hear there are more crazy characters on the way in books to come. The unusual and fun unexpected characters sometimes steel the show and make for very fun reading.

Hex Appeal is one book that definitely has appeal. Wickedly entertaining and "hexy" as hell. It is paranormal chick lit at its best. A page turner you won't want to put down.

I am glad I already have book three, Wicked by Any Other Name, in my hands so I can continue with the story. I have already started in a little bit and so far quiet, sweet witch Stasi is so mad she's shooting sparks and hiccuping bubbles. I can tell Wicked is going to be a wild and hilarious read.
