Romancing the Dead
Tate Hallaway
Reviewed by Terry Spear
I hadn’t read any of the earlier works of Tate Hallaway, but it was easy to follow along with the story in ROMANCING THE DEAD without having done so. I liked the mystery and had to keep reading to find out how it all turned out. And isn’t that every writer’s dream? To hook the reader so that he or she can’t put the book down? Such was the case with me.
I enjoyed the main characters and the secondary characters also, all having enough of their own sparkle to make them fun to read from the ghost inhabiting Sebastian’s farmhouse sitting next to a cemetery to his cantankerous son. But it was the mystery, most of all, that really kept my attention. First, would she go through with her marriage to the vampire and second, why had he disappeared?
A goddess living in the heroine’s belly was a new one for me, too. So I liked how different this was from other paranormal books and believe me, I read a lot!
Without giving too much of the story away, I thought the twists and turns in this witch/vampire/uhm, goddess novel were good and though I suspected who the villains were, I had enough doubt to make me read to find out for sure.
A truly enjoyable afternoon read if you like a jaunt into the paranormal, which I do, and enjoy humor as well as the more serious side of life!

“The vulpine couple's chemistry crackles off the page, but the real strength of the book lies in Spear's depiction of pack power dynamics, as well as in the details of human-wolf interaction. Her wolf world feels at once palpable and even plausible” says Publishers Weekly of HEART OF THE WOLF.
