Wicked by Any Other Name
is the next installment in Linda Wisdom’s witchy series. I have loved the first two books that focused on one of my favorite paranormal characters, Jazz Tremaine. Wicked by Any Other Name shifts into a different direction and comes to land on one amazingly saucy firebrand of a witch. Jazz’s long time friend Stasi Romanov. Honestly I was a bit nervous with the character shift because I love Jazz and company SO much. How could anybody top those characters. Well, it must be magic, because Linda Wisdom not only topped them, but created a whole new eagerness for me as a reader for the next book in the series. Seriously, we had Horace the Gargoyle and Linda her for a guest blog you can check it out here. You can see all the questions I asked her about upcoming books and ideas for the upcoming books. She’s created a world with a myriad of untapped journeys, just waiting to have her and her pen set sail upon!
Imagine if you will the panoramic views of the mountains and the lovely environment of Moonstone Lake. Home to Stasi and Blair the town witches. Witches that were also cast out from witch school with their life long friend Jazz Tremain. Even though they are powerful witches, they keep to themselves and create a fairly strong barrier around the town to keep it safe and quiet. Each of them runs their own specialty store catering to the locals and the thriving tourist trade. Staci’s specialty is lingere. Then one day out of the blue, things start to take a turn for the worse. Stasi is being sued by an angry customer for supposedly ruining her marriage (to her 4th husband) by using “black” witchcraft.
Things only take a turn for the worse from there. Trevor Barnes the sexiest wizard to every practice law is heading up the case against Stasi in Wizard’s Court. To make matters worse, there is some kind of evil entity enshrouding Moonstone Lake which only adds fuel to the brewing witch hunt and the all to real fire.
Wicked by Any Other Name may be seen as a light-hearted fun read. But there are some core truths that literally come blazing out. It shows how one person’s ignorance and intolerance can turn into a cesspool of ugliness in a very short period of time. How lives can be shattered and ruined by intolerance and hatred.
While I enjoyed this romp through Stasi’s life and the fun times with her perverted gargoyle Horrace. I also appreciated this reminder of how important it is to maintain balance in our core values. To honor and respect one another no matter what our religious beliefs and ideals may be. The storyline is face paced, and exciting. The romantic entanglements are enchanting to say the least. I am really looking forward to the next installment of this amazing series.

Welcome to our Weekend Book Chat.
is the sixth book in the Ophelia and Abby mystery series. One of my secret guilty pleasures are cozy mysteries, and when you add a twist of the paranormal to it, you have some pretty addicting reading material.
