Review of 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover by Linda Wisdom

Blurb:

Jazz can’t decide whether to scorch him with a fireball or jump into bed with him. 

Jasmine Tremaine is a witch who can’t stay out of trouble. 

Nikolai Gregorivich is a drop-dead gorgeous vampire cop on the trail of a serial killer. 

The sizzling love affair between Jazz and Nick has been off-again, on-again-for about 300 years. Mostly off, lately. But now Nick needs Jazz’s help, and while Jazz and Nick try to figure out their own hearts and resist their ever-increasing attraction, they must steer clear of a maniacal killer with super-supernatural powers. They are surrounded by a hilarious cast of oddball paranormal characters, including Irma, the chain-smoking ghost who haunts Jazz’s sports car, Dweezil, her ghoul of a boss, and Fluff and Puff, a pair of bunny slippers with sharp teeth and short tempers (watch your ankles)!

Having been banished by the Witches’ High Council, Jasmine “Jazz” Tremaine has spent the last several hundred years surviving and adjusting to life in the mortal world.  She now makes a living as a limo driver for other non-human creatures while helping people eliminate curses with her magic.

 

With carnivorous bunny slippers, a haunted car, and quirky clients, Jazz’s life as a witch is complicated enough without adding her ex-lover, vampire cop, Nikolai Gregorivich into the mix, but when vampires start disappearing Nick turns to Jazz for help.

 

After 30-plus years, the last person (or rather vampire) that Jazz expected to see again was her ex-lover, Nick.  Despite her reservations about working with Nick, Jazz reluctantly finds herself helping her old flame investigate the vampires’ disappearances.

 

Soon the two find themselves stirring up old memories and encountering old enemies as they work together to solve the mystery and attempt to fight the attraction that keeps growing between them.

 

50 Ways to Hex Your Lover is a quirky and fun paranormal romance filled with colorful characters and a fast-paced story.  Jazz was a fun heroine whose sense of humor and personality shined.  I enjoyed her adventures and can hardly wait to see what she gets up to next. 

 

The secondary characters of the story also had me laughing and really added to my enjoyment of the story.  From Irma, the chain-smoking ghost that haunts Jazz’s prized car, to the Fluff and Puff, the killer bunny slippers, I loved them all.  And the chemistry between Jazz and Nick sizzled!  They definitely make an interesting couple and I look forward to reading more.

 

50 Ways to Hex Your Lover is the start to what promises to be a fun and intriguing new series!
