Life for Garnet Lacey is never dull. She's trying to buy
the occult bookstore she manages. She's just become engaged
to Sebastian Von Tram, a 300-year-old vampire, who thinks
it's a good idea to start up a new coven now that
everything has settled down. Garnet was a member of a coven
previously, but everyone was killed when the Vatican came
looking for her. Now, they think she's dead and she is
safe.
Garnet is trying to come to terms with her new status.
Marriage has never been in her plans. As much as she knows
about Sebastian, he has secrets that unsettle her. Then
strange things start to happen. Garnet sees a wild dog on
numerous occasions. Some of her customers are just a bit
too inquisitive and their auras are off. After the first
coven meeting to lay down the rules and guidelines,
Sebastian disappears. He misses a speaking engagement of a
subject dear to him, so Garnet knows something is wrong.
When Sebastian's son shows up, Garnet is suspicious because
he had tried to kill Sebastian and her previously. He vows
he had nothing to do with his father's disappearance. He
knows something bad has happened to his father, so he wants
a truce.
Garnet finds Sebastian's little black book with all the
names of the people he uses for nourishment and approaches
them one-by-one to find out what's happened to Sebastian.
Surely he hasn't run away with one of these women.
Meanwhile, Garnet's life is in danger as a series
of "accidents" happen. Garnet confronts one of the new
faces in town who's been stalking her and learns that he
wants Lilith, the Goddess who lives inside Garnet after she
called upon her help when the Vatican tried to kill her.
The shape-shifter tricks Garnet and takes Lilith from her.
Now Garnet must find Sebastian, as well as getting Lilith
back.
Tate Hallaway uses comedy for this quirky witch,
Garnet. ROMANCING THE DEAD has lots of excitement and
mystery to keep you guessing throughout. It's a fun reading
treat.
It’s been one heck of a week for Garnet Lacey. The Vatican
witch hunters finally think she’s dead, the FBI has closed
their file on her, she’s co-founding a new coven—and the
gorgeous vampire she loves has just asked her to marry
him. How lucky can one girl get?
Then, her fiancé goes missing and Garnet’s worried sick.
Has he been kidnapped? Or could he have run off with that
blonde from the coven? Now Garnet will have to seek the
help of her future stepson—the same brat who turned her
over to the witch hunters for a brand-new Jaguar. But
there’s more bad news: the Goddess Lilith, who camps out
in her body, has been making embarrassing appearances. And
on top of that, some killer’s on her tail...
