50 Ways to Hex Your Lover (Jazz Tremaine, #1)
by Linda Wisdom (Goodreads Author)
by Linda Wisdom (Goodreads Author)
It took too long to get going. There was no interesting romantic relationship development. Some side characters were good.
STORY BRIEF:
Witches, vampires, werewolves, trolls, and other creatures live among humans. Jazz is a witch. She makes a living removing curses and driving a limo. Nick is a vampire who works as a private investigator. Nick and Jazz have had a lustful on and off relationship for about 300 years – mostly off. She frequently gets mad at him. Someone is killing vampires, and Nick wants Jazz to help him solve the problem.
REVIEWER’S OPINION:
It took a long time to get going. I was impatient for something to start happening. Nick visited Jazz several times asking for her help. But things kept delaying any action. Jazz had to do this, she had to do that, she kept telling Nick to come back later. This was going on for more than half the book. Finally they started to do something about the killer. Overall it was ok, just not a must read. Don’t expect much relationship development between Jazz and Nick. They knew each other in the past and broke up before this story even started. This is more of a lustful coworker relationship than romance. I had a problem with the title. She was not hexing her lover in different ways. She threw fireballs at him once and missed. That was it. Jazz was an interesting character, but Nick and Krebs could have used something more.
The best parts were the fun and interesting side characters. I loved Fluff and Puff – the bunny slippers with sharp teeth and short tempers. Jazz would keep them in line by lifting her foot. They were afraid of heights.
CAUTION SPOILER:
The ending scene with bad guy Clive could have been better. Jazz and Nick are chained and powerless with Clive standing over them doing harm. Yet Jazz and Nick keep telling Clive they’re going to kill him. These empty threats weren’t doing anything for me.
DATA:
Story length: 364 pages. Swearing language: strong. Sexual language: strong. Number of sex scenes: 6. Estimated number of sex scene pages: 15. Setting: current day mostly Los Angeles, California. Copyright: 2008. Genre: paranormal romance.
