Publisher's summary

Recovering witch Garnet Lacey owns Wisconsin's premier occult bookstore. And a fringe benefit of the job is getting customers like Sebastian Von Traum - piercing brown eyes, a sexy accent, and a killer body. The only thing missing is an aura. Which means he's dead. And that means trouble - something Garnet's a sucker for....

Paranormal Chick Lit

Would you listen to Tall, Dark, and Dead again? Why?

I would definitely continue the series. I liked the characters and I LOVE Amanda Ronconi's narration.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

It felt a little rushed, but since this wasn't a real thriller, it was okay.

What about Amanda Ronconi’s performance did you like?

She sounds like she would be one of my good friends. The right amount of sarcasm and seriousness. She's amazing.

love the series

The whole series is amazing and Amanda is an awesome voice actor. I actually started this series because she was the voice actor for it and loved every minute of it.

Looking forward to reading more

Amanda Ronconi narration is good as always. The author was not know to me before but figured it would be good with a predictibly good narration and I was right. The story was fun and I enjoyed it. Can't wait to read more of this story line.

Even Amanda couldn't save this much

Amanda Ronconi is a fantastic narrator. She brings each book she reads literally to life. If it wasn't for her, I'd have tossed this away within the first couple of chapters.

The book had some flashes of brilliance, some fleeting moments of entertainment, overall I couldn't wait for it to finish. Finish it I did, I wanted to finish the story, there was some curiosity about how it would progress, so I guess it was a sale price well spent for the few hours it occupied my mind. Unfortunately I kept expecting Molly Harperesque brilliance which just does not exist in this story.

Get it if it's on sale, otherwise not worth a credit.

Combination of witches, magic, vampires and church

Not "literature” by any means and not even in my top series that are about vampires and magic but a fun read when you are tired of “literature”.

The book did become better after the main character got over her extreme horniness. It was a bit too much and mentioned too often in the beginning. The combination of witches, magic, vampires and the church was an interesting and enjoyable twist. I plan to read the next book in the Garnet Lacey series.
