It’s been one heck of a week for Garnet Lacey. The Vatican witch hunters finally think she’s dead, the FBI has closed their file on her, she’s co-founding a new coven — and the gorgeous vampire she loves has just asked her to marry him. How lucky can one girl get?

Then, her fiance goes missing and Garnet’s worried sick. Has he been kidnapped? Or could he have run off with that blonde from the coven? Now Garnet will have to seek the help of her future stepson — the same brat who turned her over to the witch hunters for a brand-new Jaguar. But there’s more bad news: the Goddess Lilith, who camps out in her body, has been making embarrassing appearances. And on top of that, some killer’s on her tail . . .

From the Editors of Barnes and Noble:
A little magic, mystery, and murder, plus a lot of blood and sex form the backbone of Tate Holloway’s paranormal mystery, a debut novel.

Garnet Lacey is an ordinary blonde midwesterner, but she dresses Goth, dyes her hair black, and runs an occult bookstore somewhere near the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Except for being possessed by Lillith every now and then, Garnet lives a normal life — until the appearance of Sebastian Von Traum, vampire and reanimated corpse, who has an even deader wife and a son who wants to kill him. Then the plot explodes: The Order of Eustace is out to get Sebastian, there are Vatican witch hunters and sexy dead men, old boyfriends, pleasure biting, bloodstains, and extra stain-cleaning techniques. Lovers of the comic vampire mystery have another pleasure in store.

Archangel Protocol (The Archangel Series #1)

Publisher: Roc/Penguin

From the Editors of Barnes and Noble:
In Archangel Protocol, Lyda Morehouse creates a not-too-distant future Earth where the lines between technology, politics, and religion are blurring at the edges. Deidre McMannus is an ex-cop who was recently involved in a heinous crime — the assassination of the Pope! Her partner, Daniel Fitzpatrick, pulled the trigger; but as the novel begins, the motivation behind the crime is unclear. Although Deidre had nothing to do with the crime, she loses her job, gets excommunicated, and — most importantly — loses her connection with the LINK, an interactive computer implanted under the skin.

Now employed as a private investigator, Deidre accepts a job working for a mysterious man named Michael. As payment, Deidre gets to be reconnected into the LINK. But the job turns out to be much more hazardous — and enlightening — than Deidre ever expected.

Morehouse’s highly descriptive version of 2075 Earth is almost as interesting as the novel’s plot. A great first novel!
