Garnet Lacey is a witch who has quit magic cold turkey. An explanation of why will be given in the book, but Garnet feels like a junkie in need of a fix. She also has an inner Goddess, Lilith, who has taken residence in her womb, a destructive creature that threatens to surface every time Garnet has strong emotions. Lately Garnet finds herself less able to control Lilith, and things get turned upside down when Sebastian walks into Garnet's shop. Garnet realises that Sebastian is dead, and soon she also realises that there are Vatican witch-hunters after him. Things get even more complicated from there. A thoughtful plot and interesting characters, both major and minor. The ending is left open for more potiential problems for Garnet in the second book (Dead Sexy), such as how exactly is her ex-boyfriend and vampire Parrish supposed to fit into things? Enjoyable read. The only issue I had was Garnet's propensity to do really rash and not thought out things over a charming man. Her hormones keep getting her into trouble, I found myself exasperated sometimes.

This book is amazing! It held my attention from page one and it only got better. Garnet is a witch who finds herself coping with sharing her body with the vengance demon Lilith, and trying to make up her mind weither she wants Parrish or Sabastian both who are very sexy Vampires. I can't wait to read the next book in this series and Mrs. Hallaway has been put on my favorite author's list at the top.
This was my first Tate Hallaway book, and it won't be my last! I have never read a book so fast! Its in a really easy to read style and I was wanting more everytime I had to put it down. Another great paranormal/vampire/witch strong leading lady book. Can't wait to get my hands on the second Garnet book!! Enjoy!!

Good first book in what looks to be a series. Some unanswered questions at the end that I hope are answered in the next book.
Strong characterizations and a substantial plot.
