Jazz the feisty witch and gorgeous Vampire Nick are going strong. Then Jazz starts having some strange nightmares and suddenly there is more fighting than passion in their lives. With the help of her friends Jazz has to find out who or what is messing with her dreams so she can get her relationship back to how it was.

Hex Appeal is the sequel to 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover and it makes for amazing reading. Chick-lit meets paranormal in this witchy & vampy mystery filled story. This will have you hooked from the first page. With man-eating bunny slippers and flirty crocodile shoes this is totally fun and fabulous.

You can read my full review when it is posted on Paranormal Romance.

Hex Appeal is due for release on November 1st. Pre-order your copy here!

My Monday Round-up sucked so I thought I would post something else today to make up for it ;)

I just heard from my friend Justin Gustainis (who I interviewed a few months ago) that his sequel to Black Magic Woman is on schedule and should be hitting the shelves in December. So go pre-order your copy of Evil Ways or put it on your wishlist!

He also told me -

Libby is now getting equal billing. Instead of "A Quincey Morris Supernatural Investigation," the cover of EVIL WAYS reads "A Morris and Chastain Investigation."

and

The third Quincey/Libby book will be entitled SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL.

So you heard it hear first...well maybe...

Don't forget to enter the Jocelynn Drake contest which is open until Sunday. Nightwalker has been making waves and it was only released last week!

Jocelynn posted on her blog -

I discovered that I made the USA Today Bestseller list. I came in at #117 at 150. I've been told that it is an extremely hard list to crack since it contains both fiction and nonfiction books. To add to my overwhelming joy, I also discovered that I made the New York Times Fiction Mass Market Bestseller extended list. I came in at #32 out of 35

Oh and usually I don't tell you all what is coming up next week until it is posted (I don't want to jinx myself) but this time Amberkatze's Book Blog is taking part in something big!

Joy Nash's 50 Days, 50 Books Giveaway starts today and Amberkatze's Book Blog is one of the sites giving away a signed copy of Immortals: The Crossing which doesn't come out till the 30th of September!!!

Well mine are Thorntons whiskey truffles but seeing as I don't live in the UK anymore I don't have a good supply of them. It was really interesting to see what everyone else liked and I have to say I haven't heard of alot of them ;)

So here is the winner -

Read my '50 Ways to Hex Your Lover' Review

-------------------

Amber - Before we start thank you all for taking the time to answer my questions! I appreciate it!

Jazz - Thank you for having us!

Amber - Let's start with Fluff & Puff. Please could you tell my readers a little about yourselves?

Fluff & Puff - We were created by an evil and very powerful wizard named Dyfynnog. He made us do really nasty things and kept us in a magickal cage when he didn't use us. We weren't named Fluff and Puff then. Several hundred years ago Jazz snuck in and rescued us, so we'd never leave her no matter what.

Amber - Jazz, now it is your go! Tell us all a little bit about yourself!

Jazz - Hm, Krebs is still trying to find out my age, so don't tell him I said anything as in I'm over 700 years old. When my magickal gifts started to appear I was taken to the Witches Academy for schooling. But one of my classmates got into major trouble and we all stood up for her, so we were expelled from the Academy in 1313. Since then I've roamed the world and now, I'm settled in Santa Monica where I work as a curse eliminator more for the Hollywood set than anyone and as a driver for All Creatures Car Service. I'm also 'blessed' with a ghost in my beloved 1956 T-Bird convertible who loves to make me miserable at times. Irma is a trial and unfortunately, mine.

Amber - Now all of you made your first appearance in '50 Ways to Hex Your Lover'. When will we get to see you all in action again?

Jazz - We're all in Hex Appeal coming out this November.

Amber - Fluff & Puff can obviously be a little hard to handle sometimes. How do you control them Jazz?

Jazz - Handle them? Excuse me, I'm laughing here. No one can handle them because Fluff and Puff have minds of their own and are still protected by powerful magick. But they also know I have a special cage that if truly pushed would be used.

Amber - Jazz, how did you come into possesion of Fluff & Puff? or did they come to you?

Jazz - Fluff and Puff seemed to say it best. I'd heard of these bunny shoes that were created by magick, and since I never liked Dyfynnog. Actually, no one does. I went in and rescued the slippers. He couldn't press charges against me because what he was doing to them was illegal.

Amber - What do you all like to do in your spare time?

Fluff & Puff - chase the neighbor's cat! We're not allowed to eat him, but no one didn't say we couldn't chase him. Plus, he's a really mean cat. We also like to hang out with Krebs, Jazz's mortal housemate, but he doesn't like us around his computers.

Jazz - hm, time with my vamp honey, Nick.

Amber - Do any of you have any interesting or funny stories you can tell us about each other?

Fluff & Puff - sex is very strange with humans. What we're saying is ...

Jazz - don't you dare!

Amber - If you could get any actor/actress to play you in a movie who would you pick?

Jazz - Some people say I look like Kiera Knightley.

Fluff & Puff - Sorry, but not Bugs Bunny!!!

Amber - What kind of music do you all like to listen to?

Fluff & Puff - we like loud rock and roll, but Krebs makes us turn it down.

Jazz - when I'm in a dreamer mood, I like Celtic Woman. Otherwise, I'm for classic rock from the 1960s. I live near the beach and beach music always works for me.

Amber - If you all got stuck on a desert island and could take 3 things with you...what would you all take?

Jazz - well, can't take Nick, too much sun and no way I'd dare take another male. Leaving Irma behind would be nice. So sunblock, my favorite bikini, one of the rubber duckies because I'm sure any of them would love all that water.

Fluff & Puff - licorice root, chocolate that won't melt, sunglasses
