A Review of Hex in High Heels by Linda Wisdom


.5

Four and 1/2 half Fangs for Hex in High Heels by Linda Wisdom


Book Blurb:

In this sexy, funny paranormal romance by bestselling author Linda Wisdom, it's all beautiful witch Blair Fitzpatrick can do to keep a lid on her talent for revenge spells, but things are about to get a lot more complicated...

Blair loves running her vintage shop and hanging out with witchy friends Stasi and Jazz. She's forever had a crush on hunky carpenter Jake Harrison, whose Were nature (he's a Border collie) makes him loyal, lovable, and fierce when need be. Just as sparks are beginning to fly, Blair is served with a big surprise when Jake's mother shows up along with his pack leader, who threatens to make Jake heel! When the alpha does the unthinkable, Blair is pushed over the edge. No one messes with her boyfriend-to-be, even if he does shed on the furniture!

Linda Wisdom never disappoints. In her latest hexy installment about the 13 banned witches the story focuses on Blair, revenge witch extraordinaire, who operates the little vintage shop next to Stasi's lingerie store.

At the end of the last book Blair had just learned that her furry little Border Collie friend was actually Jake the town handyman that she had been lusting after for ages.

Now that she knows his secret and it's a pretty well known fact that the two are interested in each other she wants to get closer to him, but he keeps pulling away.

But when Jake's old pack, including mommy dearest and his brother, show up in town Jake has to share his secrets and let Blair in to keep the town safe.

Mean wolves, wicked magick and crazy elves abound in this wild magickal romp. Jazz even makes an appearance to drop off Fluff and Puff, who end up on Blair's ankle throughout the story and Horace the gargoyle finally gets to cause some mischief. Even ghostly Irma has her part in the story because she too decides to stay with Blair and Stasi while Jazz goes out of town. So all the cast of favorites make their way into this story.

Hex in High Heels is probably my favorite book in Wisdom's series so far. Sure, no vampires, but instead there's a sexy were that's my type of guy, even if he does turn furry ever now and then. I really love the wild and wicked Blair who doesn't back down from anyone and who is always ready to cast a revenge spell on anyone who does her or hers wrong.

Check out Hex in High Heels you are going to love it.

A Review of Wicked by Any Other Name



Four Fangs for Wicked by Any Other Name

The third book in Linda Wisdom's Hex Series, Wicked By Any Other Name, totally rocks. I love that good witch Stasi breaks out of her neat little nice shell and learns to fight for what she believes in and stand up for herself.

In Wicked by Any Other Name, there is something going on in Stasi's beloved town. Everyone there knows she and her best friend, Blair, are witches but now they are treating them like they are evil. It all started when one of Stasi's regular human customers accused Stasi of using bad magick to make her husband leave her. The human Carrie was so mad she went to a Wizard lawyer, Trevor Barnes. Now she's causing major trouble for Stasi, suing to have her powers stripped from her.

When Trevor shows up in town, Stasi can't believe the cruel joke fate and that pesky Cupid have dealt her. Trevor has dancing hearts over his head, meaning he is her true love though they are sworn enemies-on the wrong side of the courtroom not to mention the fact that wizards and witches just don't mix.

No matter what Stasi does things just keep getting worse, the whole town seems to be against her, people that used to be her friends are now treating her like she's the devil-sweet Stasi, the good witch, the devil?

Jazz and Nick show up to help with Irma, Fluff and Puff, and even Krebs and his new vampire girlfriend Leticia in tow. They arrive just in time to be bombarded with a complete magickal mess. The whole town is under a spell along with the lake, but it's magick none of them can penetrate or even figure out what it is. There is definitely more going on than just Mercury in retrograde and an upcoming lunar eclipse. Samhain just isn;t going to be the same this year.

Can they stop the evil that's spreading before it is too late and the whole town is consumed by hate and rage? If they don't figure out what is going on the 21st century may end up looking a lot like the 17th century when it was common to burn witches at the stake.

Wisdom's third book in the series explores more characters, more character relationships with each other and gives a much more complex look into their world than the previous two books. As wildly entertaining as the first two with more plot and story line, it's great. A magickal romp you'll love.

Horace the gargoyle is a total scene stealer and what's up with the border collie? You'll love it once you figure it out. I just wonder why the witches didn't figure it out when all the guys knew what was up.

You'll love how Fluff and Puff get even with Cupid at the end of the book, too. It's wonderful. I love those scary, crazy bunny slippers.

I really love how Wisdom brings all these crazy characters to life, like Fluff and Puff and Horace. They are something totally different and unexpected. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series featuring Blair and I am guessing, Jake. Hmm...we'll see how that goes.
