Staci Romanov is one of the witches banished into the mortal world by the Witches Academy 700 years ago. She and another witch, Blair, share a home and each have shops in a small mountain town. Staci is a sweet, respected member of the community and almost never loses her temper. She is stunned when she is served court papers stating she is being sued for alienation for affection from a dissatisfied customer.

Trevor Barnes is the wizard attorney who takes the case against Staci. The moment he meets her though, he is torn between his attraction to her or remaining neutral for his building case. The dancing hearts above her head doesn’t help make his feelings or decisions any easier.

Then mysterious magic surrounds the lake that brings sanctuary to the witches. Curious incidents begin happening around their small mountain town and its residents. Staci and Blair call in their friends to help figure out what is causing the disturbing events. They need Trevor’s powerful help, but every witch knows you can’t trust a wizard, and soon Staci is fighting for her life and her heart.

Filled with charming characters, a clever plot, and loads of sizzling magic, Wicked by Any Other Name is pure fun! Jazz Tremaine, the heroine in Wisdom’s last two books, along with her vampy fangboy Nick, and her famous Fluff & Puff slippers, make a splash in Wicked by Any Other Name. The splash deftly ties this third novel into the first two, drawing the reader deeply into their witchy ways.

I was absolutely entertained with this fun and magical romp! Linda Wisdom is quickly making herself a household name in the paranormal genre. I will definitely be looking for the next one!

Armchair Interviews agrees.
