"fabulous fantasy romance"
Garnet Lacey is a non-practicing witch, who remains in
hiding after a Vatican hunter squad destroyed her coven.
She has vowed never to use her talents again so that she
cannot be traced. Perhaps for most people that would be a
simple resolution, but for Garnet that is not easy to
adhere to because part of dark goddess Lilith dwells inside
of her. To her chagrin Garnet is attracted to Sebastian Von Traum
even as he frightens her because she cannot detect any aura
emulating from him. Who is he she ponders as only limited
creatures like vampires have no aura? Even more worrisome
is the idea he could he be a Vatican assassin preparing to
kill her. TALL, DARK & DEAD is a fabulous fantasy romance that will
have readers believing in witches, vampires and ghosts oh
my. The story line is driven by the lead pair as she is
attracted to him, but doubts she can depend on him; on the
other hand Sebastian desires Garnet, but knows that if he
tries to keep her safe he could reveal his hiding place to
dangerous enemies. If they fail to trust one another, their
growing love will prove meaningless as their lethal foes
are coming in a fabulous paranormal thriller that leaves
readers witha one sitting winner. Reviewed by Harriet Klausner

Garnet Lacey vowed never to do magic again. Not after that scene with the Vatican assassins in Minneapolis where she called on the Goddess Lilith, who left a swath of destruction so huge Garnet had to leave town. Eight months later, and several hundred miles away, she's now the manager of Mercury Crossing, Madison, Wisconsin's premier occult bookstore and herb emporium where the employees are prime examples of witches without a clue. One day, just as she's closing the bookstore, in walks trouble, with a capital T for Tall, Tough, and Tasty. She might have blown him off, except for one thing: his aura. He doesn't have one. That would make him dead. And a mystery to unravel. Unfortunately, the assassins Garnet has worked so hard to avoid are after her mystery man, and now she finds herself facing her own brutal past.
