A witch who can't stay out of trouble A drop-dead gorgeous vampire cop on the trail of a serial killer And a pair of bunny slippers with sharp teeth and short tempers (watch your ankles) After a sizzling on-again-off-again love affair with Nikolai Gregorivich for the past 300 years, I still can't decide if I want to scorch him with a fireball or jump into bed with him. Real talk: A vampire's kiss is pretty hard to resist, but when a vampire sucks...he really sucks. Unfortunately, Nick's now shown up needing my help to track down a maniacal killer with super-supernatural powers...which I guess means the fireball plan is out. But I am determined to ignore the ever-increasing attraction between the two of us and remind him that this witch's kiss is off-limits...or is it?
I enjoy the vampire books of Charlaine Harris and MaryJanice Davidson so this book was just the way I like my paranormal books -- offbeat and funny. The characters of Jazz and Nickolai were interesting and likeable but the secondary characters really made the book interesting. Irma, the cranky 1950s era chain-smoking ghost stuck in Jazz's vintage car grew on me over the course of the book as did Jazz's mortal roommate. The author found a way to make the presence of witches, vampires, bloody-thirsty bunny slippers and various other non-human life forms seem almost normal. I look forward to reading the next Jazz book.
A fun, exciting read great for anyone

This was a wonderful read, I had a hard time putting it down. Jazz is a wonderful character w/lots of spunk. Fluff and Puff are two of my favorite characters... I mean killer bunny slippers how can you go wrong!?!? Oh and don't forget about Irma the ghost who haunts Jazz's Car. She is also a great character. I fell in love w/all of them and can't wait for more about Jazz. Thanks Linda Wisdom! This was such an engrossing story that my friend's 13 year old daughter ignored her Nintento DS for 3 days straight to read it... now that's some powerful storytelling!
Eagerly awaiting for the next book in this quirky new series.....

Eagerly devoured this book in about two days, the cast of characters were all delightful. Gotta love those cute little bunny slippers, Fluff and Puff, and wanted to see more of them, Irma, the Ghost, was exciting too, but Jazz Tremaine,our witch, and Nikolai Gregorivich,our Vamp were the stars. Jazz has been been on the oust from the Witche's Council for many years and trying to work her way back into good graces with the council. Nick, her vampire and on & off lover is back and again needs her help. Loved how Linda described this fascinating new world and it looks very promising if she can keep the excitement going. Waiting for the second book to come out this fall and read more about these characters. I highly recommend this book if you want light and hilarious shenanigans abound. Also, has a great ending, read this book, you will be glad that you did.
Wonderfully enchanting!

I was lucky--I got to read the book before it hit the shelves, and I loved it. Jazz is a heroine who is quirky, fun, and just warped enough to love--and her world is filled with fascinating creatures, bunny slippers who'd give the vorpal rabbit a run for his money, and one sexy, hot vampire love interest. The story holds up, the pace is quick and breezy, and I didn't put it down till I finished it. I can hardly wait for Linda's next book. If you love paranormal romance with a slightly twisted sense of humor (that only adds to the charm of the characters), then this is the book for you! (I recommend this book especially to fans who also love the works of MaryJanice Davidson, Annette Blair, Candace Havens, Charlaine Harris, and other light-hearted, enchanting paranormal romances).

A book you can't put down
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I absolutely love this book. I'm a very picky reader and have often started books, skipped to the end and tossed them. Not with this one. I was hooked from page one. I wanted to take Nikolai home and make him my own personal vampirer. And Norma, the chain-smoking ghost, is hysterical. This book is funny, romantic, suspenseful and well-written. If you want to read a book that will capture your attention and imagination -and then want to read it all over again, this is the book for you. I highly recommend it.
