Tall, Dark & Dead (Garnet Lacey #1)
by Tate Hallaway
What is it about:
The line between magic and sanity is very thin.
That's part of why I, Garnet Lacey, quit cold turkey.
Never touch the stuff. No exceptions.
But magic is so addictive...and my inner Goddess Lilith is hard to resist. Besides, restraint isn't easy when you manage Wisconsin's premiere occult bookstore, and get customers like Sebastian Von Traum--piercing brown eyes, a sexy accent, and a killer body in denim and black leather. The only thing missing is an aura. Which means he's dead...
And that means trouble. I guess I'm a sucker for it. The Vatican witch hunters are on to us. My long-lost vampire ex has crawled out of the woodwork looking for action. And Sebastian's frustrated ex is stirring in her grave.
So what's a girl to do if she's hot for a dead man walking? Run like hell--and take full advantage of the nights...
What did I think of it:
I was browsing the shelves of a friend's bookshelves and came across this book. It sounded fun, so I decided to give it a try.
And it was everything I had been hoping for!
This book is a great mix of funny and suspenseful. I loved Garnet, and could understand why she tries to stay away from magic. But magic and adventure manage to find her. I was really intrigued by Garnet having an actual Goddess inside her, and loved discovering what it did to her.
Sebastian is a cool character as well, I was eager to find out what his deal was, and once I did I had to keep reading to find out if Garnet could save Sebastian, herself, and the day.
The romantic entanglements in this book were just a bit triangly, but not in an annoying way. I'm curious to see how things will develop in future books.
There are some really fun side characters as well. I loved Garnet's friends and hope they'll be in future books as well.
The ending is satisfying and you could read this as a standalone, but you bet I borrowed the next three books in this series to see what's next for Garnet.
All in all a very enjoyable read.
Why should you read it:
It's a fun and suspenseful Paranormal Read.
