This is the second book in the Garnet Lacey series & continues the story from a few months after the last book ended. Now that Garnet & Sebastian have managed to avoid the Vatican witch hunters life should be back to normal but that all changes when an FBI agent turns up at the store to question Garnet. He wants to question her about the murders of 6 Vatican witch hunters the year before. Garnet panics and realising that she is the prime suspect she tries to hide her identity. The fact t More...

I do not dislike this series. But I don't adore it. Still, it has its fun moments, its sexy interludes, and many interesting ideas at its foundation.

This time around Garnet must deal with the FBI breathing down her neck, while following a querulous crow around town and coping with Sebastian's jealousy of Parrish. It's never a dull moment for this Wiccan.

There are laughs to be had and bittersweet moments to treasure, but Hallaway's characters still don't feel fully realized to me. Something abou More...

Magic is not for the gutless. And I, Garnet Lacey, have become a seriously powerful witch.
Let’s just hope I can stomach what’s coming...I should’ve known I’d never get away with murder.

Especially when the people I accidentally unleashed the dark Goddess Lilith on were Vatican witch hunters. Besides, I’ve had other things to worry about. I really don’t want my vampire boyfriend to find out my vampire ex is stowing his coffin in my basement...

Meanwhile, pesky frat boy zombies are popping up every More...

Why did I think I would like this one when I clearly didn't like the first one? What I have learned is not to finish the series after all...if there is a third book. I will probably not pick up a Hallaway book again unless someone convinces me that it will be completely opposite of what I read. It's not like Hallaway can't write. It just seemed that this story was going no where. This book was about 2 different things: FBI finally finding her and the zombies that appear everywhere. They didn't h More...

This is the follow-up to Tall Dark and Dead, and as with the previous book in the series, Dead Sexy is about magic shop owner Garnet, who has an uncomfortable relationship with the goddess Lilith - said goddess inhabits Garnet's body and has a nasty tendency to take over at times, the most important of these being at the beginning of Tall, Dark and Dead when a group of Vatican-sponsored assassins had killed the rest of her coven.

This time around, Garnet is still trying to deal with the aftermath More...

I stumbled on these books browsing in the bookstore and the synopses made me laugh. The characters seem real enough and the storyline is interesting enough to keep me reading. I loved the character flaws & quirks and hard a hard time putting this one down when it was time to move on.
This is the second book of the series and I still enjoyed the characters enough to struggle with putting the book down when it was time to do other things. Tate Hallaway instills a silly sense of humor into her c More...

I really want to like this series, but Garnet is making it difficult. What a bunch of stupid decisions she made.

What I enjoyed:
* Sebastian. Still not sure why he loves Garnet though.
* Benjamin, the attack ghost.
* Barney, the cat who is allergic to magic.
* Dominguez. Basically the guys are great and the women aren't.

What could have been better:
* Garnet. Seriously, who in their right mind thinks it's a good idea to put a love charm on the FBI agent who is investigating you? Especially when you alr More...

This is the second book about Garnet, and it is just as entertaining as the first book was.

This isn't great literature by any means, and I found it dragged just a little in around the middle with the secondary college zombies plot line, but overall this is a perfect summer beach or deck read.

Garnet is a likeable, spunky heroine who handles the many problems the Goddess drops on her with humour and creativity. And her relationship with Sebastian is both romantic and sexy.

If you like light easy re More...

This is another story about supernaturals and of course I loved it. Garnet Lacey is a bookstore manager/witch who accidentally unleashed the dark goddess Lilith who uses Garnet's body in order to kill Vatican assassins. She also has other things to worry about-like pesky frat boy zombies, a gorgeous FBI agent hot on her trail, love spells gone wrong, and keeping her vampire boyfriend a safe distance from her vampire ex-boyfriend. Teh story was great and since I love vamps so much it fell right More...

Garnet Lacey may have duped the Vatican hunters… but now a new threat - the FBI is on her doorstep, trying to solve the case of 6 dead priests…

And this is the continuing love story between Garnet and Sebastian… He knows/feels that she still holds strong feelings for Parrish… and puts them on a ‘time out’… although he assures her that he loves her… but then every time she gets into trouble, he’s right there to bail her out… Her feelings for Parrish are mixed between her attraction for him, for h More...

Tate Hallaways"Beiss noch einmal mit Gefühl" ist der zweite Teil einer eher humorvollen und paranormalen Fantasyreihe. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Hexe Garnet Lacey die von der mächtigen Göttin Lilith beherrscht wird. Seit Garnet jedoch mit dem Vampir Sebastian von Traum einen Kampf bewältigen musste fällt ihr die Kontrolle immer leichter.

Garnets Ex-Vampirlover Parrish hat sich mit seinem Sarg in ihrem Keller eingemietet, was jedoch ihr neuer Vampirfreund Sebastian auf keinen Fall erfahren darf, da More...

I suppose its meant to be a romance book, because i cant imagine it being a mystery or anything else.
Hallaway draws the people like little stick-figures without faces dancing around aimlessly.
FBI guy Dominguez is like hundred FBI guys before him, supposedly hard-ass and intriguing, but in the end just boring and unbelievable.
Half the text consist of educating us non-wiccans of the beliefs, symbols, ideas, like your reading a self-help for pagans book.
Mixed in are zombies, vatican killers , oh More...

This is a fun series. There are, of course, the occasional typos and grammatical errors, but the narrative is more cohesive and focused than many of the books in this genre. And sometimes, despite the fanciful covers, they get unexpectedly dark--in a good way. This is a 5-book series, which is also refreshing as you don't have to wait year-to-year for a new book, forgetting what happened in books you read 5 years in the past. I plan to read the remaining three books of the series this summer.

Better than Tall, Dark, and Dead, but it still left me scratching my head. Why-oh-why does every man in the world have a "get in free" pass to Garnet's lady parts? You can't claim to be a feminist when you rely on men to save the day, or use your hootenanny to get out of trouble.
Sebastian still irks me. Could he be any more of a one-dimensional character? And I either missed something, or the author just decided Sebastian should be in love with Garnet for absolutely no reason.
I wish Parrish was More...

This is the second book in the series (Tall, Dark and Dead was the first) and Garnet is trying her best to develop her relationship with Sebastian Von Traum. But the others in her life – like her vampire, ex-boyfriend, Daniel Parrish, and an FBI investigator looking for the killer of the Vatican agents back in Minneapolis are causing problems.

And, then there are the zombies that keep popping up around Madison.

Oh, yeah, and she still needs to keep the Goddess Lilith suppressed.

Once again, another More...

The back cover blurb from Booklist said that fans of Charlaine Harris would like this book, but it's really for the Katie MacAlister crowd. Fast paced with lots of casual references to the supernatural (whereas Harris slowly introduces you to different supernatural elements instead of dunking you into the deep end with everything).

Fun read! Made *lots* of references to the first book, which I hadn't read, so I think things would have made more sense if I read that one first.

A fun read. An entertaining narrative, some romance, zombies, friends and magic. If you read book 1, this was close to the same level as that for me. Actually, maybe better because in book 1 I kept feeling exasperated at how impulsive Garnet would act over a man. Here were less cases of me saying "Garnet don't be an impulsive idiot" as I read this. Also some relationship developments which made the series move forward nicely for me. I liked the secondary characters in this, especially Garnet's f More...

In this book, Garnet's past catches up to her in the form of a sexy FBI agent. Sebastian gets upset at Garnet as she turns towards her ex-lover Parish for help instead of him.

While trying to evade the feds, come up with a good cover story, keep Lilith from killing anyone, and make up with Sebastian, Garnet also has to do battle with a Voodoo priestess who is making zombies and spreading them all over town in order to collect their pay checks.

I really enjoyed the wrap up of this book. I wish th More...

The second Garnet Lacey book was a quick and fun romp. Garnet is trying to explain her past to the FBI while dealing with a miffed vampire boyfriend, a lusty live in vampire ex boyfriend, and someone's got the brilliant idea that frat boy zombies are a good idea.

Really light vampire/witch series... not unlike the Sookie Stackhouse series. Fun characters, a pretty good story... would have liked a little more backstory and a little more depth, but overall this is a fun read and it's likely I'll read the whole series.

This author is very witty. She always has me laughing at the predicaments that Garnet gets herself into. This book was even better than the first one and I'm very excited to start the third one! I miss Parrish I hope he comes back!

I took 2 stars off for the bad language. I took 2 stars off for inappropriate content. I just wouldn't waist your time in reading this book. There are so many other books out there that are so much better. Not a book to recommend.

The second Garnet Lacey book was quirky and funny as usual. Garnet as a character seems to walk the line between being funny and kind of ditzy/stupid. She spends this book having her past sins or the sins of "Lillith" come back to haunt her. She get's investigated by the FBI, casts an intense love spell and becomes the target of some killer Zombies. All this while trying to have some closure with her ex Parish and work out the relationship with her current boyfriend Sebastian.

Cute, light story for those times when you feel like reading something totally lighthearted. Witches, vampires, zombies, and voodoo plus one hot FBI guy. This Wiccan arracts men (dead and alive) like you would not believe.

This book was kind of amusing but I found myself pushing to get through it more than enjoying reading it. It was kind of a let down but I'll probably read the next one in the series.

This is the second in the series. It's a fun quick read. I had a little trouble with the motivations of the characters in the first book (Tall Dark and Dead), but not in this one.

This was a little hard to get into. I recommend reading the first in the series before this one. I didn't and thought it was a little hard to follow.

A light, fun easy read.

I like the characters, I just don't find myself feeling emotionally attached to them.
