Jazz Tremaine and Nick Gregor have recently revived their long and tumultuous
love affair, but there is already trouble in paradise. Sure, witches and
vampires aren’t supposed to get along, but they’ve moved past all that.
This new trouble comes from the strange dreams plaguing both of them – dreams
that are all too real and have each of them doubting their relationship.
Soon it becomes apparent that those dreams are courtesy of an unknown enemy, the
result of a powerful spell that Jazz can’t seem to break.
Not only that, but her favorite pair of slippers, Fluff and Puff, have been
framed for murder. They’ll be destroyed if she can’t prove their innocence.
Sure, they eat like garbage disposals, but they’d never touch a nasty-tasting
were-creature.
Before long, the question of whether or not their relationship will survive is
overshadowed by whether they will even live through the new threats against
them.
The only good thing about finding Linda Wisdom’s HEX series late
is that I enjoyed the ability of reading the first two books in this fun saga
back to back. And ‘enjoy’ is certainly the operative word here.
HEX APPEAL picks up where 50 WAYS TO HEX YOUR LOVER
left off, with Jazz and Nick reveling in their recent reunion and still
recovering a bit from their showdown with the evil Clive Reeves, where they each
nearly lost their lives.
But there is no rest for the weary, and our intrepid couple soon find themselves
fending off a new threat while handling their individual case loads – Nick as a
private investigator and Jazz as a curse-banisher. Both occupations are bound
to earn them some foes, and so the question of who in their long-lived history
might be attacking them this go-around is wide open.
As fans of the first book in this series would expect, HEX APPEAL
has a comfortable balance of humor along with the dark in the storyline. The
wit Linda Wisdom keeps flowing throughout the tale keeps it from being too
heavy, allowing the reader the ability to keep laughing until the story’s end.
If you like your romance full of fun and magic, then you will not want to miss
the second books in Linda Wisdom’s HEX series. Aptly named,
HEX APPEAL is sure to attract a legion of new fans for this talented
author!
