This book starts out very interesting. Garnet Lacey used to be a practicing witch. But one day she was late for the coven meeting and showed up to find the Vatican Witch Hunters had found them and killed everyone. Some how Garnet channels a very pissed off goddess who kills all of the Hunters. Since then Garnet has been hiding in plain site - running a new age store in Madison. However things are starting to heat up again.
Despite the interesting premise, the characters aren't interesting. All of them seem quite flaky, except for one of the "bad guys", who actually seemed interesting. At about 1/3 of the way through the book we're only starting to get introduced to more plot than "bad guys want to kill us". And at that it's a pretty distant threat.
The other problem is that the tone of the book feels like a sitcom while there are actually some pretty dark stuff, like the fact that the main character has a goddess with a very short temper inside of her, and occasionally Garnet loses control and then people die. This book just couldn't hold my interest.
