Dead If I Do

I am totally in love with this type of vampire story. It's light, fun and easy to read. I was totally engrossed in Garnet's quirky life and hot romance with Sebastian. I will definitely miss them both. I hope that Tate continues the story now that they are married. I would love more on Parrish and William too. The books were great, and I'm so happy I found them!

I loved this latest book in the Garnet Lacey series. As usual, things are getting out of hand for poor Garnet when it comes to the supernatural, but now everything that can go wrong with her wedding is going wrong, including her relationship. I love a book that can actually make me feel for the characters. Tate Hallaway has the gift of making it easy to put yourself in Garnet's shoes. You feel mad when something bad happens, happy when things are resolved, and the ending is just wonderful. I really like how the author handled things with Parrish at the end of the book. All in all, a fun read!

I just love this series! Garnet is such a fun multifaceted character. This series is not the typical formulaic girl meets vampire paranormal romance. This book was a little slower in the beginning but it really progresses into a great read. Tate is a fresh voice and is sure to not disappoint if you love books about witches, vampires, and goddesses...

DEAD IF I DO TATE HALLAWAY Paranormal Romance Berkley Trade Sensuality Rating: Sexy Rating: 5 Enchantments Garnet Lacey is all set to walk down the aisle with fiance Sebastian--that is until his dead ex shows up at an already awkward dinner with her parents and proceeds to curse both Garnet and the wedding. Now Garnet's struggling with the recently risen Tereza, who wants nothing more than to do away with Garnet and take Sebastien back for herself. There's aslo Matayas, her future step-son who still can't stand her, not to mention her parents who can't believe she's about to marry a vampire and to top it all off, the curse is apparently working as wedding preparations are going wrong at an alarming rate. Will Garnet ever be able to marry Sebastian? Or is their relationship doomed? DEAD IF I DO has quickly become my favorite book in the entire series. Garnet truly comes into her own in this book, and I found myself laughing out loud more than I have in a long time. I loved the addition of her hippie boomer parents to the mix who provide some of the best lines in the book, particularly in the latter half when they find Tereza and Garnet fighting. Garnet's abilities are strengthening as is Lilith, the goddess who lives inside her as she tries to come to the forefront more and more. And worst of all for Garnet, her relationship with Sebastian is also on the rocks, given his reluctance to deal with Tereza once and for all. Trying to pick a favorite scene to highlight is tough, given how many truly had me laughing out loud but I loved the part where Garnet's parents walk in on the fight between Garnet and Tereza and are forced to help her and Sebastien lock Tereza away. All I can say is Ms. Hallaway truly has a way with great dialog in DEAD IF I DO! Fans of the series will no doubt love this recent addition and I have to say I was thrilled to see a recent blog post by Ms. Hallaway talking about more future books in this great series! Ms. Hallaway is also the author of previous best sellers Tall, Dark and Dead, Dead Sexy and Romancing The Dead. She lives in St. Paul, Minnesota with three black cats.

Garnet Lacey and her vampire boyfriend, Sebastian, are due to wed in two weeks. Garnet's parents have arrived and have been told that the groom is undead, not that they believe the news at first. But seeing Sebastian's zombie-vampire-witch-former lover, Teréza, show up in a public restaurant to curse Garnet and try to kill Sebastian certainly puts them on the road to believing. The parents will also have to learn about the other paranormal beings in Garnet's life, such as the Goddess Lilith, the Queen of Demons, sharing her body and Sebastian's half-vampire son. Teréza's curse begins immediately. The baker cannot do her wedding cake, the awesome band has been replaced with a polka band, the bridesmaids' dresses get mixed up and are totally wrong ... the list goes on and each thing is worse than the last. It is beginning to look as though no one will live to see Garnet's wedding day. **** This paranormal romance overflows with danger, excitement, and mayhem; however, whenever things become too stressful a healthy dose of irony or comedy shows up to ease the way. Tate Hallaway has an amazing talent for story telling. **** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.
