A non-practicing seduction witch and a recovering dragon lord of lust will save the worlds if they don't destroy them first.
Witley Pennmore, the wickedest witch of the east coast, has earned her place on the Senior Council, but she still doesn't know why a Sorcerer in Darkside is hanging her allies, and won't stop until she finds him and brings him to justice, or vengeance, whichever is most convenient.
Meanwhile, Ian Featherwell, her unofficial ally is the latest target of assassination attempts on both his life and his character, as he tries to unravel the lies and corruption of the Lower Council and solve his grandfather's murder.
When their past betrayals come to the surface, their tenuous alliance might unravel, along with the stability of our worlds.
Sparks and glitter will fly in the epic battle, witch vs. mage and lust vs. love.

I slammed through all the books from this world back-to-back. The 4 books and 2 novellas of Darkly Sweet, then the 2 books of Wit the Wicked, then the 3 books of Arrietty in Underland. Each series corresponds to one of the 3 dragon lords. They were all very good. I'm a big fan of this author now.
I adored the Darkly Sweet books - they were ridiculous and funny in the very best ways, with some darker urban fantasy woven through. Penny is the primary character of Darkly Sweet and I adored her. Her love interest Drake (dragonlord of Violence) is also fantastically odd.
The Wit (Whitley) books were also very good, but Wit is a harder heroine to love. I listed to some of these books on Audible for free (virtual voice narration, but not horrible.) Ian is her love interest (dragonlord of Lust).
The Arrietty books were the most violent and edgy with a lot less humor than the other books, which I suppose makes sense for Prince, the dragonlord of Death.

4.5 ⭐️ rounded up
Oh Wit… I just want to hug you, but I think you’d maim me for making an attempt. So soooo many more feels in this book than I was expecting. So many tricky connections/relationships between characters as well. I seriously cannot wrap my head around how Juliann can keep her characters' lives straight in her brain—mind-boggling and impressive! Wit’s characterization from Darkly Sweet to now has evolved so much, and I just love it. It makes me want to restart Darkly Sweet again so I can pay more attention to Wit in the Rosewood days. I enjoyed getting little snippets from many of the first series (Darkly Sweet) characters and revisiting some of their history with Wit and Ian.
If I’m honest, it took me a lot longer than I thought it would to get through this book. Yeah, it’s decently long, though that doesn’t bother me at all-- it was that sometimes it felt like the story progressed slowly because all the details are so twisty. My brain/focus sometimes struggles when it feels like I'm being fed lots of information or clues, but not making progress with much of it panning out. In fairness though, in the last 25-30% of the book there is PLENTY that pans out, so stick around for how it all fits together! This book was worth the effort it took to keep my brain on task! Getting to know Wit better was my pleasure, and I sincerely look forward to when Juliann is ready to share the concluding book for Wit and Ian with diehard Dragonlord fans like myself!

👍👍
I believe I said this in my review of the first series but I’ll say it again: I never thought I would not only like Witley, let alone love her!! This was such a great story that held my interest from start to finish. I’ve been setting books aside lately, not in the mood to read them at the moment, but that never happened with this book!
I’m looking forward to more from this series!!

Wit and Ian are my favorites. Their character arcs felt so satisfying. I did not anticipate the depth of this story or the variety of emotions the author would manage to convey through their journey. Both characters should feel overpowered by this point but somehow they still feel like underdogs that I need to root for. And while I'm normally not a fan of a love triangle, it was done quite well here. I want more!

Great, heart rending read
An amazing continuation of this world, and the characters that reside in it. Besides the intricate and complex story of wit and her golden dragon, you also see favorite characters from the other books in the series.
This conclusion to wits story has tango, dancing, a feral dragon, child, and many more surprises.

Can’t get enough
As with the rest of the series Wit Wanted does not disappoint. Well written with a beautiful twisting plot. Would love to read more in the future, there are still pieces of the puzzle that have not been told.

love it
This is pseudo Snow White with a dash of pied piper and Willy Wonka, not to mention wonderland influence and strange magic. Like the title, it’s defiantly warped, but rather addictive.
