Publisher Description

When the members of Witches Incorporated receive a visitor from an alternate reality, they are shocked to discover that Gerald Dunwoody is responsible for the chaos in this parallel world. This evil Gerald has turned into a raving tyrant whose use of black magic has made him unstoppable.

Unfortunately for them, this problem is about to cross over to their world very quickly because evil Gerald is searching for new worlds to conquer. And the only person who can stop him is good Gerald...who has just disappeared on assignment overseas.

Once they realize that Gerald has been kidnapped by his alternate self, Melissande and the rest of Witches Incorporated cross through to the alternate reality to save him.

But it appears that they're too late, because good Gerald has succumbed...and now there are two evil Geralds to contend with.

"the first part of the book feels like the author changed her mind about how she wanted to end the first book of the series. just when i'm getting annoyed, she ties it all together in a pretty, twisted bow that promises a package of mixed emotions. I hate the bad guy and love the good guy, who happen to be the same one, but not really. Confused? Don't worry; the author makes it pretty clear. As in the first book, the ending is bittersweet. There's a great big serving of sorrow with a side of relief. When the book was over, I was hoping for another in the series. The darn bird still keeps me chortling through the whole book, eliciting quizzical looks from my adoring husband."

    " Probably my favorite of the series. Admittedly darker than the rest but some great character development all around and plenty of action. Looking forward to book four, assuming there will be one. "

    " Not as good as the first two in this series. Was a bit confused in the beginning, not realizing that it was an alternate world we were "experiencing". The characters were not as convincing in either universe and that hindered the story line. "

    " I think this book needs to be read right after the others. Too much of the plot relied on you knowing details about the other stories, I muddled along for the first hundred pages until the story got started. That said I had a hard time putting it down. "

    " I liked this one better than the second book of the series. Mainly because there's less of Bibi, Mel and Reg who spend all their time bickering and being pushy. "

    " The third book in the Rogue Agent series pits our hero, Gerald, against himself -- or at least another version of himself from a different trouser leg of time, as Pratchett might say. Wizard Squared is an enjoyable read but has many of the same flaws as its predecessors. I feel it could have benefited from another round of editing and revision. About the first 150 pages, which tell the tale of the alternate Gerald and the decision he made that the original Gerald did not, could and probably should have been cut entirely. We already know most of the story here from the end of the first book and the differences would be better left a mystery until later. Another flaw I feel is that the witty humor pervasive throughout the book is carried too far, causing characters to be overly snarky with one another in situations where it feels inappropriate and unnatural. Despite these things, this is still a fun adventure and would recommend it for readers fond of comic fantasy. "

    " Bit slow in the begining as the ending of the first book is rehashed before embarking on the new story but once it gets going, its fantastic. I've very quickly become a huge fan of KE Mills and look forward to reading everything else she's writen under Karen Miller. "

    " initially tough to deal with an evil primary character; and an bit repetitive with the sayings. Still a fun story "

    " Not as funny as the previous books. This was more difficult to read as there seemed to be a lot of talking without a lot happening sometimes. I did find the incessant arguing specially Reg and the girls quite irritating sometimes. I think if Reg was my bird she might have ended up as barbecued. "

    " Reading this book without realising it was the third in a series made the beginning a bit confusing, but there is enough backstory mentioned to make it likeable nonetheless. Did make going back to read the first book a bit redundant though. "
