Garnet Lacey is a retired witch who's about to fall off the wagon. Having called into herself a Goddess named Lillith who refuses to stay on the sidelines, Garnet needs to stay alert at all times so Lillith won't decide to kill anyone while Garnet is blacked out. When sexy Sebastian Von Traum steps into the occult bookstore where Garnet works and is hiding out from those who are out to get her, life goes from interesting to excitedly dangerous.

Sebastian doesn't have an aura. That means he's dead. He needs something special ordered to keep him from being really dead. Garnet can help, but in the meantime, Lillith discovers Sebastian's secret and wants it for herself. Garnet falls for Sebastian, but Lillith makes her do things that Sebastian may not forgive. And because of her actions, those who hunt Garnet know where she is.

I really enjoyed Garnet's spunk and all the characters' witty dialogue. The story reads quickly and held my attention throughout. TALL, DARK & DEAD is a delight for the night.
