Shoes that bill and coo, and Monty Python’s rabid bunny slippers come to life! “Hex Appeal” by Linda Wisdom is a laugh out loud paranormal romance. With zany secondary characters and a Starbucks addicted witch in love with a smoldering, sexy vampire, this series has something for everyone. In “50 Ways to Hex Your Lover”, Jazz and Nick reunited to finally defeat a returned enemy. Now in “Hex Appeal” they’ll need to trust each other more than ever before to best whatever force is trying to either break them up or kill them.

Jazz is a 700-something (real women never tell) witch with a wicked sweet tooth and a weakness for her vampire lover. Never willing to take the easy route, Jazz is currently working as a curse remover while waiting out her banishment from witch school. When she begins having bad dreams, she figures it’s just something she ate. When she beings having nightmares, she thinks it must be some curse or hex. But when one nightmare causes her to lose her magic…well, that’s war.

Nick still can’t believe how well he and Jazz are getting along. A vampire and a witch…who’d a thunk it? Even being unable to drink Jazz’s blood can’t damage his love for her. When Jazz begins having bad dreams, he’s worried. When he begins having bad dreams, he’s pissed. But it’s becoming all too clear that their enemy or enemies are highly placed in the supernatural community and very powerful.

Jazz is someone I’d want to hang with…while drinking wine, eating chocolate, and trashing men. She’s funny and has so many quirks, I can’t begin to list them all. She also has rubber ducks that swim in her bathtub, a hunk for a boyfriend, shoes that flirt, and shoes that can kill…literally. Now that’s my kind of woman! Nick is still a bit mysterious, but more pieces of his past come to light in this book. These two are the George and Gracie (or Jennifer and Brad for you younger ones) of the paranormal world.

Wisdom’s contemporary California is the perfect setting for Jazz’s crazy world and the wacky and weird characters who inhabit it. While there’s enough steamy romance to satisfy the paranormal romance label, this second book is more about the creatures who live in Jazz’s world…weres, vampires, witches, wizards, ghosts, elves, pixies, and creatures not yet identified. The slowing unfolding mystery reveals itself at a perfect pace, and still leaves room for more books in the series. If you’re looking for a humorous change of pace, pick up Linda Wisdom’s “Hex Appeal” and laugh yourself silly.(less)

This is the second book in the series and another fun ride. I feel like the pacing of the plot was a little off - but it was such fun I didn't let it bother me. I really enjoy this series and find Jazz (the main character and a witch who has been around for hundreds of years) not only relateable but a joy.

I am anxious to read the next in this series which apparently came out in March 2009. I am hooked!

Second in the Jazz Tremaine urban fantasy series revolving around a witch and her friends in Southern California.

My Take
I love it! I love it! Instead of the usual ending for a spell, "so mote it be", Jazz uses "because I say so, damn it!" Too funny.

Oh, man, I love the rubber duckies!! Wisdom is too funny in describing their actions when Jazz is taking her bath!?! I can't wait to see how they react to a swimming pool!

What I don't get is how lackadaisical Jazz is about investigating what happened...more

Again Jazz is caught up in solving a mystery mainly because Fluff and Puff have been accused of eating Willie, a wereweasel who operated the Ferris wheel on the boardwalk near where Nick lives. Never mind that I am still trying to figure out how these bunny slippers could eat a whole person alone, since I would assume if they are putting things down their mouth to digest, something has to come out the other end. But since Jazz hasn’t stepped in any interesting slipper doo-doo, she knows that her slippers would never do such a thing, mainly because they think wereweasel blood isn’t that tasty. But it doesn’t help matters when Fluff coughs up a black button that belongs to Willie. Willie’s boss and boardwalk owner, Rex, thinks he has enough proof to destroy the slippers. Now Jazz has to figure out who is trying to frame Fluff and Puff.

Around the same time, Jazz is having some intense dreams of death, mainly hers. They are so real that while she is sleeping next to Nick, she has a really bad nightmare where Nick has gorged himself on her blood, even though witch’s blood is dangerous for vampires. Poor Nick has no clue what the deal is with Jazz, and thinks she is overacting. But then Nick starts having dreams of Jazz being human and married with a husband and family. At first Nick and Jazz ignore their dreams, but they become a lot worse. And then something really horrible happens where Jazz loses all her powers for a day and is a mortal. Something is rotten in the state California and Jazz has to find out who wants to do her in.

Hex Appeal had me in stitches. This is a screwball paranormal-comedy with witches, vampires, were creatures, and all types of footwear that comes alive. Not only is there Fluff and Puff, who I so want for myself, but Jazz has a new pair of stilettos from a witch friend named Croc and Delilah that like to wear Jazz’s makeup, constantly blow kisses and raspberries and have a bad habit of rubbing up against any male’s leg they come in contact with. Yup, they are some horny shoes. Plus, they really compliment Jazz’s feet. If only we, the female readers could be so lucky to have such shoes like Jazz’s.

Jazz and Nick’s relationship is an interesting one. These two are passionate with one another, but they still make sure to keep their own space. They bicker, laugh and make love, but they realize they have to set boundaries because their past relationship with one another was a bit emotional where Jazz would have a habit of flinging fireballs at Nick when she became angry at him. What I would have loved to read would have been some flashbacks of Nick and Jazz and how they first met and what made them fall in love with one another. But even though these two are immortals, they act like any other modern day couple.

Since most paranormal books I tend to read happen to be dark and gloomy, Hex Appeal brings out some laughs and smiles over the antics of Jazz and the world that Linda Wisdom has created. I will continue to read this series as long as Linda writes them. It takes great skill from an author for me to enjoy footwear such as Fluff and Puff as my new favorite characters of the year(less)

The Jazz Tremaine books are probably some of the girliest books I review-- and I mean that in a good way. Jazz is is a witch who also happens to be your typical girl.

The Jazz Tremaine books are probably some of the girliest books I review-- and I mean that in a good way. Jazz is is a witch who also happens to be your typical girl. She loves clothes, shoes, mocha lattes, her haunted T-Bird convertible and her vampire lover Nick Gregory. Okay, maybe her shoes have more personality than your average pair of stilettos-- including a crush on her human roommate and a tendency to raid her make-up drawer-- but a girl will forgive a pair of shoes that change color and style to match any outfit. Sometimes it's good to be a witch.

But being a 700+ (she'll never tell the exact number) year-old witch means that a girl is bound to make enemies. It starts with a dream that is so real Jazz is convinced Nick bit her and it scares her something awful. But it isn't until Jazz begins having more frequent dreams of becoming mortal that she realizes someone has put a hex on her. And that's not her only problem; someone has framed her carnivorous bunny slippers, Fluff and Puff, for the murder of a local Were. Add to that a ghost who wants Jazz to update her wardrobe and you have one busy witch.

Jazz, with the help of gorgeous vampire Nick Gregory, starts digging into the world of the were culture to try to figure out who would want to frame her bunny slippers. At the same time, she's trying to fend off some pretty bad dreams that may threaten to turn her into a full-fledged mortal once and for all.

"Hex Appeal" is a very cute book that is full of likable and fun characters. It's definitely on the lighter side and isn't like a lot of current paranormal fiction that lives on the darker side. This isn't a book that has a ton of graphic violence nor is it particularly suspenseful. Sometimes I have a hard time reviewing a book like this because I feel that I have to recommend it to a particular audience. It's one of those books I'd put into the cute and fluffy category and if that's what you like, I say this one is for you. But if you like your paranormal romances to have a little more angst this might seem a bit breezy for your taste.

I do tend to like my books to have a little more depth than "Hex Appeal," though I hate to knock the book for being on the lighter side. I did mention in my review of "50 Ways to Hex Your Lover" that I wish Wisdom had put a little more history into the book and that complaint still stands. In fact, I thought "Hex Appeal" had less detail than the first one. But darn it, the book is so likable I can't bring myself to critique it too harshly. There were times when I felt that certain story-lines didn't fully mesh and that the ending was more than a bit rushed. But still.... I think it's one of those books I liked despite myself. I could certainly find quibbles from a reviewer standpoint but from an entertainment standpoint, the book works. Any witch who ends her spell casting with "because I say so damn it!" Instead of "so mote it be," is someone I'd like to know and read about.

When Jazz confronts the Big Bad, it’s not a long drawn out battle, but she does it in the most logical witchy way she can. Honestly, I’ve been needing something like this series lately.

Linda Wisdom's Hex Appeal doesn't haven't the same suspense, but the characters are just as much fun as in the first book, and the few sex scenes are just as steamy.

Wisdom thrusts the reader right into the middle of Jazz' problems in the opening scene. The witch is in the middle of passionate lovemaking with her vampire lover, Nick, when he unexpectedly bites her. Or does he? It seems that Jazz is having strange dreams lately. The dreams grow increasingly worse, and Nick, and, even Jazz' landlord, Krebs, has strange nightmarish dreams. To make matters worse, Fluff and Puff, Jazz' beloved bunny slippers, are under suspicion for having killed and eaten a Were, a carny who works on the nearby boardwalk. Jazz is so exhausted from her troubled sleep, it's hard to keep her mind on the investigation into the Were's death. And, what could possibly get worse for poor Jazz? What happens when a curse-breaking witch loses her witchy powers?

The trouble with Jazz' dreams isn't quite as enthralling as the storyline in 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover. However, it's worth reading Hex Appeal for the characters alone. Jazz, her fellow witches, Nick, Krebs, and Irma the ghost are terrific characters. However, this time, Wisdom adds some fun scenes with rubber duckies in the bathtub. And, Fluff and Puff have some stiff competition in the form of crocodile shoes, Croc and Delilah, who are man-crazy. Jazz, herself, is such a fascinating character, with her temper, her talents, and her love of all things feminine. It's even hard to resist the corny rhymes Jazz uses when she casts a spell.

I'm sure there will be another book for those of us who have fallen in love with Jazz and Nick. Linda Wisdom leaves the villains out there with hints of worse things to come. But, for now, fans will have to settle for the two enjoyable books in this series, Hex Appeal, and 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover.

He's so sexy, so strong, and so supportive of Jazz and her quirks. There are quite a few more love scenes in this book than in the first as well, and they're smokin' hot. The romance is also more present and more believable in this book, and the ending is quite a bit closer to a true HEA than the "Happy For Now" ending in the first book.

Linda writes great characters. The entire cast of characters in this book is amazing, from ghostly Irma and the shoes that are actually living creatures, to Jazz's witchy friends and the sexy geek roommate Krebs.

The villain in this book is scary awesome, and way cooler and more involved in the story than the villain in the first book. The dream sequences are really creepy and good, and Jazz goes through some pretty terrible but funny things while she hunts for the creep polluting her dreams. The secondary plot that has Fluff and Puff accused of murder is cute too, and I wish it had been developed a little more. I love the werecreatures that were introduced into the Fluff and Puff storyline. I hope Coby the werewolf spends more time on the scene in the third book. He's dark and sexy and I'd really love to learn more about him.

As much as I enjoyed this book, I still had a couple more problems with it than with the first. I felt really lost a lot of the time during the book. I kept having the feeling that I was missing something really important, even though I had just finished the first book in the series a few days earlier. It was easier to forgive this aspect in the first book because I thought it might be cleared up in the second, but it wasn't. In fact, there were even more loose threads and more characters with unexplained backgrounds in Hex Appeal than there were in 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover. The characters in this series are so fun and so interesting that I couldn't help but want to get to know them. Jazz and Nick have some really fascinating friends. Even the bad guys are cool in these stories. I really felt like I was missing out by not knowing more about their history.

My other quibble is more of a personal preference than something I feel like I can deduct review points for, but I never really felt like the ruling bodies and the leading witches were on Jazz's side, and I never understood that. I can't see how anything she's done should cause her to lose the support of her own teachers and leaders. Anyway, like I said, a personal thing. I'm a geeky psychological person that wants to get into everyone's head, and it always bugs me when I don't "get" a person. That's a very minor gripe, and it probably won't even register with most other readers.

Other than these two little issues, this is a great book. I had a hard time finding any actual flaws in the writing or in the world building (other than loose ends), which is unusual for me. Ms. Wisdom is clearly a very talented and experienced writer, and it shows in her work.

I may have a few more quibbles with this book than with the first book, but it's still a lot of fun and the positives far outweigh the negatives. Hex Appeal is a lot of fun, and I really enjoyed getting to know Jazz and the gang. I haven't read many witch romances, and these books make me want to hunt for a few more.

I definitely recommend this book to fans of urban fantasy and paranormal chick lit with light romance. This book is a blast. But don't forget to read 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover first. Hex Appeal will make a lot more sense that way. -10/1/08(less)

There are scads of other appealingly eccentric characters that populate this book, including an invisible drooling dog that has gastrointestinal problems and a ghost who demands a makeover. Worth looking for the other books in the series.

Do I think I would read the whole series I do not know for sure but as a whole it was a cute change in what I have been reading lately. And change sometimes is a good thing.
