Another Fun Read!, August 2, 2010
This review is from: Honeymoon of the Dead (Paranormal Romance (Berkley)) (Paperback)
I enjoy the Garnet Lacey books. This one Garnet is facing her own personal demons...or some truths about her personality. It makes her witchy, goddess bearing self a little more human. As always this is a fun read.

Garnet Lacey, Book Five, June 6, 2010
This review is from: Honeymoon of the Dead (Paranormal Romance (Berkley)) (Paperback)
The vampire, Sebastian Von Traum, and the witch, Garnet Lacey, are finally married. But it seems as if the honeymoon will never begin. The newlyweds were supposed to be headed to Transylvania. Unfortunately, thanks to an ice-frost demon and her giant dog, they decide to deplane and are now stuck in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Well, in Saint Paul actually. It may be Garnet's old stomping grounds, but no one is too friendly with her. One of Garnet's former boyfriends, Larkin Eshleman, still claims to love her, even though he and his friends drug and kidnap her. Then there is the man who has been stalking Sebastian lately, James. Sebastian believes James is one of the Illuminati Watchers. Sebastian had been one of the Illuminati's founding members and the group likes to keep tabs on him.
To help Garnet through it all (or hinder her even more, depending on how you look at it) are two powerful entities. Athena (Goddess of War and Wisdom) and Lilith (Queen of Hell and Mother of Demons) both dwell within Garnet. Neither entity wants to share Garnet, so the witch is being treated to some fun-filled dizzy spells and strange visions. Good thing Garnet can depend on other sources, such as the FBI agent Gabriel Dominguez, for some aid.
*** THREE STARS! Characters from early titles reenter the story in the form of cameos or secondary characters. Word has it that this is to be the final installment of the series; however, I certainly hope that is not the case. I am left with too many questions on the fates of several characters. Written in the First Person, the author continues to treat readers with magical and humorous fun. Yet this time I never felt the danger, dread, or suspense as I did while reading the previous tales. Still, this story is a good choice to take along on your next vacation. ***

Honeymoon Blues...., May 18, 2010
This review is from: Honeymoon of the Dead (Paranormal Romance (Berkley)) (Paperback)
I hate to say it because I've LOVED all the books in this series so far... but this one is a bit of a letdown. Garnet and Sebastian have just gotten married and are headed for their honeymoon. The problems start as soon as they get on the airplain. There are goblins, vampire hunters, warring goddesses and more. While that sounds like a good story, it's just ok. I feel like everything and everyone else in the previous books have been forgotten. What's going on with Parrish and Tereza? William and Matayas seemed to be added as afterthoughts at the end of the book. I don't know. The story just wasn't that exciting. It had moments but they were few and far between. I'm not giving up on the series because all the books have been really good until now. I'm hoping for something a little better then next go around!
