Tall Dark and Dead (Garnet Lacey, #1)

by Tate Hallaway

The line between magic and sanity is very thin.
That's part of why I, Garnet Lacey, quit cold turkey.
Never touch the stuff. No exceptions.

But magic is so addictive...and my inner Goddess Lilith is hard to resist. Besides, restraint isn't easy when you manage Wisconsin's premiere occult bookstore, and get customers like Sebastian Von Traum--piercing brown eyes, a sexy accent, and a killer body in denim and black leather. The only thing missing is an aura. Which means he's dead...

And that means trouble. I guess I'm a sucker for it. The Vatican witch hunters are on to us. My long-lost vampire ex has crawled out of the woodwork looking for action. And Sebastian's frustrated ex is stirring in her grave.

So what's a girl to do if she's hot for a dead man walking? Run like hell--and take full advantage of the nights...

So I bought books 2 and 3 of this series in an audible 2 for 1 sale about 4 years ago I think, because the narrator was/is Amanda Ronconi and I love her. But I didn't have book one.... So years later my stepson's mom has become an audio addict (thanks to yours truly) and she now owns tons of books I've been meaning to get to and what do ya know, she let's me borrow this book, book 1 of the series I planned on reading 4 years ago. Lol!

So obviously the narration was great. And the book was pretty good too. It has the signature light, funny quality most the books Ronconi seems to narrate have. And the paranormal elements were pretty standard. I love the small town feel and that the main character, Garnet Lacey, manages an occult shop. Very Buffy-esque
