HEX IN HIGH HEELS BY Linda Wisdom









Fourth in the popular, light paranormal romance series by an author whose books have sold 13 million copies. In this sexy, funny paranormal romance by bestselling author Linda Wisdom, it's all beautiful witch Blair Fitzpatrick can do to keep a lid on her talent for revenge spells, but things are about to get a lot more complicated...
Blair loves running her vintage shop and hanging out with witchy friends Stasi and Jazz. She's forever had a crush on hunky carpenter Jake Harrison, whose Were nature (he's a Border collie) makes him loyal, lovable, and fierce when need be. Just as sparks are beginning to fly, Blair is served with a big surprise when Jake's mother shows up along with his pack leader, who threatens to make Jake heel! When the alpha does the unthinkable, Blair is pushed over the edge. No one messes with her boyfriend-to-be, even if he does shed on the furniture!

Review By Doni Miller

Linda Wisdom’s Hex in High Heels is a non-stop treat. From the beginning of the book to the back cover, it is a delight to read. The story flows well. The writing makes for easy reading, but not simplistic. I truly enjoy the charming small town with all of its interesting inhabitants, even Mayor Floyd and his Wife Agnes.

Each character, both good and bad, is vibrant and alive. I feel as I could put myself in the story, and watch the goings on in the town. I just can’t pick a favorite character: Stasi the Witch, Trev the Wizard, Blair the Witch, Jake the Were-Border Collie (first one of those that I‘ve seen), Jazz the Witch, Horace the obnoxious and smart mouthed Gargoyle, or Felix the talking Kit-Kat Clock. Oh, and I can’t forget, Fluff and Puff. I so want bunny slippers! I don’t like Vera the Werewolf who tries to get Blair to do a revenge spell on her son. It’s just not right to hurt your children. The wide range of characters is bound to tickle something in every reader’s fancy.

There is sex and sexual tension, but it is not overdone and not overly graphic. But it still descriptive enough to hold the reader’s interest. There is intense passion and connection between Jake and Blair. The magick between them really causes sparks to fly.

One of my favorite scenes in the story, aside from the one at the lake (which I cannot describe without spoiling), is when the elves pulled up in the puke colored RV in front of Blair’s shop. The elves are truly obnoxious and crude. Blair teaches them a lesson in manners, and Agnes finishes the job, but not until later in the story.


All in all, Linda Wisdom’s Hex series, and this story specifically, are awesome reads. She is an author that regardless of the genre, I would recommend. The next book cannot get here soon enough.

DRM
I do and its fun to do.
What do you like to read Madonna?
M. L.
Well, I have three granddaughters so I do read a lot of YA, just so we can talk ..  read Steve Berry, Rick Riordan (both his YA and adult)  Fun things, I don't like sad stories, I don't read a lot of blood and gore I've read Harry Potter, Twilight, things like that.
DRM
Don't really like horror?
M. L.
Not really into horror...  My books may get a little darker as they go on, but nothing to pull the bed covers over your head...Just make ya want to smack Esmeralda around.
DRM
Don't like Esmeralda  Thomas has possibilities.
M. L.
Thomas has a LOT of possibilities. 
Yes he does I can't wait to see what happens Emeralda isn't happy though Where did she come from?
M. L.
She is your typical bully, You will enjoy it. I have two beta readers - I made one cry and the other had to go cook!
DRM
I'm jealous!
DRM
You mix and match myth and legend where did the Native American information come from?
M. L.
My father was a very big arrowhead collector. I loved the old westerns, I really liked Dances with Wolves so I just added him - Gram Greene.
DRM
I had a hard time in the beginning of your book it seemed a bit slow...I kept thinking where is the young Bree’s story?  is there a reason you kept it under wraps and showed it in pieces? 
M. L.
I tried to give you the information up front so Bree could continue the story.  All the books will start like that...bring the reader up to speed  That way I don't have to do a lot of that in the story.  Because the first book had a lot of the past, the next books are very current
DRM
Bree is very relatable.
M. L.
I wanted her to be that way and I'm glad it came across.
DRM
She is real and has lived life do you think that readers enjoy that versus the heroine that has never had an issue in her life?
M. L.
I think so, it's easier to put yourself in her shoes then it is to someone who has never had any problems - we all have problems
DRM
In my review I describe your writing like that of an artist.  It's like a painting to me with all the bright colorful strokes yet the shadow of what is going to happen down the road .  do you see your self in that way or just a woman who has a story to tell.
M. L.
I see myself as a story teller. I enjoy it. I am working hard to perfect it.
DRM
Do you write full time?
M. L.
No, unfortunately I work full time, I write at night, a couple of hours on the weekend. I can write it pretty fast cause I'm always thinking about it - when it's done i walk away then come back and begin my edits, changes, deletes.
DRM
That must be hard to edit your own work?
M. L.
I read and re-read then I had it off to Mikki (My editor) she does more edits, makes suggestions and hands it back.  Then I edit and rewrite email her the changes and then one finally read through.
DRM
That is a question I often wonder about given the mistakes I have read in many published works.
M. L.
I found a few in mine too. So many words.  Oh oh....House is on!
DRM
Thank you for your time Madonna.
M. L.
I look forward to your review and hearing from you once in a while.
DRM
Me too.  Thank you.
