Title: 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover
Author: Linda Wisdom
Publication Info: Sourcebooks, Inc, March 2008
Genre: Paranormal Romance

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

Jasmine Tremaine, a witch who can’t stay out of trouble Nikolai Gregorivich, 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 Norma, 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)!

From Linda:

Why I love writing about Jazz

And why wouldn’t I when we’re so much alike.

She’s snarky. I’m snarky. She’s Irish. I’m Irish. She has red hair. I have red hair. She’s tall. I’m short. She’s gorgeous. I’m short. She can kick magickal ass. I’m short. She loves all the scented body wash and body creams. So do I. She shares her tub with rubber duckys who are more than they appear. I collect rubber duckys who so far are what they appear. She has bunny slippers that can eat pretty much anything, although the charge they ate that squirrel up at Moonstone Lake is unfounded. My bunny slippers just look cute and so far stay out of the cookie jar.

What I love about this book is that Jazz is someone I’d enjoy hanging out with. She may have magick in her blood but she’s still female enough to love shopping and her lattes. And who wouldn’t love having a BFF who could wiggle her fingers to make pushy people disappear, well, maybe just go away. She drives a snazzy classic T-Bird convertible with an irascible ghost in the passenger seat. She loves cotton candy, funnel cake, and roller coasters.

And did I mention she also has a super hot sexy vampire in her life? Oh yeah, Nick Gregory, a vampire PI who used to work with vamp law enforcement. And right now, he wants her to help him take down a serial killer of vampires. And if their plan doesn’t work out, they’d be dust. Literally. Okay, I’m a good friend, but I’m not sure I’d be willing to help her storm a big bad creature’s mansion to take him down. But I’d sure be out there on the road cheering her on.

Irma’s been in Jazz’s T-Bird since 1956 and not too happy about it, but she can’t seem to leave the car either.

Fluff and Puff, the bunny slippers, believe the house Jazz shares with web designer Krebs is their playground.

Dweezil, Jazz’s creature of a boss at All Creatures Car Service is…well, let’s just say you have to read him to believe him.

Nick, see above.

And Jazz is in a cauldron all her own. She is so much I’m not and that’s probably a good thing. She can get herself out of trouble using magick. I’m not that skilled.

So how about you? Would you want a snarky witch for a BFF? I’m sure the sexy vampire would be a given. And how about bunny slippers that would make sure chocolate in your house never lasted more than a few seconds?

What would you want?

Linda
