Dead If I Do by Tate Hallaway

This is the fourth book in the Garnet Lacey Series by Tate Hallaway, entitled Dead If I Do, it's plot takes place around the event we have been waiting for, Garnet's marriage to 1,000 year old vampire, Sebastian.

For those of you who have not read this series yet, I do highly recommend it. A little background, Garnet is a Wicca who has a the demon princess of Hell, Lilith, living in her. Which isn't quite as scary as it sounds. Most of the time. Garnet's coven was hunted down by the Vatican Witch Hunters and Garnet was the only one to escape to Madison, WI, where she worked at, and now owns, an Occult Book Store. In addition to performing many spells, putting together a new coven, and hanging with her pals, Garnet also has an attraction to the undead. Her first boyfriend, Parrish, a true vampire who was turned a few hundred years ago, and then the new and current, Sebastian, who turned himself with magic 1,000 years ago and thanks to that can walk in sunlight, eat what he likes, and be the father to the most annoying son ever.

In the newest addition to the series, we have a new character who has been around for the last three books but only comes alive in this one. Sebastian's ex-fiance and mother of said annoying son, has been in an undead coma for one hundred years, after Sebastian's attempt to turn her failed. This new turn of events of course has several repercussions on Garnet's relationship with Sebastian and their wedding plans when the new vampire/zombie places a curse on them. Oh, and did I fail to mention that Garnet's Minnesota-Farmer-Hippie-Pot Loving parents were in town?

All this sets the scene for a fairly funny and exciting book. I do have to admit that some parts dragged a little in this book, and for me, it's a little harder since I just have never been a true fan of Sebastian. I have always preferred the bad-boy Parrish who was there for Garnet in a very tight spot in the first book when he helped save her from the Vatican Witch Hunters, and then again in the third book when he "died" for her to save her once again. He does make an appearance in this book, at first to chase Garnet a little, but later as a more crucial character to help with the "zombie" or "vambie" depending on what name you like best for the ex-fiance.

Definitely check this book out if you are a fan of the series, and if you haven't read them yet, try them out with the first one, Tall, Dark and Dead.
