When Vatican witch hunters slaughtered her entire coven, Garnet Lacey, in a fit of rage, exacted revenge by calling down the Goddess Lilith and used her to kill them all. Now Garnet wants to move on with her life, get away from the Vatican and forget she knows any magic. Problem is quitting is easier said than done. The Goddess Lilith never really left Garnet's body once she did her job and Garnet just met the sexiest man she's ever seen in her life. It just so happens, he doesn't have an aura.

A missing aura can only mean one thing; vampire. But Garnet still lets Sebastian Von Traum suck her into his world and all the trouble that comes with it. The trouble starting with the return of the Vatican hunters who are after Sebastian in order to kill him so they could steal his alchemy formula; a formula that can turn people into vampires. If that weren't trouble enough, Garnet's vampire ex-boyfriend has crawled into town looking for some action, any action, and she also discovered Sebastian's dead wife isn't so much dead in her grave as she is in limbo between dead and alive. With all this going on and no end in site, what's a Goddess possessed witch to do?

In a genre overflowing with books about witches and vampires, Tate Hallaway has managed to write a story that stands out from the rest. TALL, DARK & DEAD has feisty, flawed characters and many surprises, such as the Vatican being the villains of the story instead of the good guys. The fast paced action will keep you engrossed in the story and the romance will have you sighing over the main characters. With so many loose ends hanging, the sequel, DEAD SEXY, can't come fast enough for me.
