Book Synopsis
It’s been one heck of a week for Garnet Lacey. The Vatican witch hunters finally think she’s dead, the FBI has closed their file on her, she’s co-founding a new coven—and the gorgeous vampire she loves has just asked her to marry him. How lucky can one girl get?
Then, her fiancé goes missing and Garnet’s worried sick. Has he been kidnapped? Or could he have run off with that blonde from the coven? Now Garnet will have to seek the help of her future stepson, the same brat who turned her over to the witch hunters for a brand-new Jaguar. But there’s more bad news: the Goddess Lilith, who camps out in her body, has been making embarrassing appearances. And on top of that, some killer’s on her tail...

Garnet Lacey, a witch, is thinking her life might be returning to relative normalcy now that the Vatican witch hunters and FBI think she is dead. Sure, normal for Garnet isn't your everyday normal... Garnet normal simply means she's starting a new coven and she'll continue practicing magic with the Goddess Lilith camped out in her belly. She's getting engaged to her Vampire boyfriend and possibly moving into his haunted farm house. Garnet is contemplating all this and much more when her Vampire boyfriend, Sebastian, goes missing.
Suddenly Garnet's life changes and contemplations get put on hold as she sets out to find out what happened to her man. Adding to the complications is the mysterious stranger, Micah. Coming to her aid is Matyas, Sebastian's son and former co-conspirator with the Vatican. This character has a lot of depth and I like what Ms. Hallaway did with his person, she made him intriguing and he added a lot of humor to this story.
Like the previous books in this series, there is no shortage of the magical and supernatural realm. When Garnet forms a circle and practices her magic you can almost feel her power on the pages. Garnet is a smart and sexy heroine, she is strong in her magic and in her convictions, yet she has no trouble showing her very real and sweet softer side. That makes her extremely tangible and these books incredibly lifelike.
Mixed in with plenty of sex, magic, humor and bloodsucking is an ample amount of mystery as more than one force seems out to get Garnet and Sebastian. This was an extremely fun and fast paced novel. The usual suspects reappear as the ultra unique and ever entertaining supporting cast. This is a series that I am happily addicted to and I am eagerly waiting for Ms. Hallaway to supply my next fix.
