bibliogrammaTall, Dark and Dead, Tate Hallaway
It's pretty much an open secret that Lyda Morehouse, the author of a truly wonderful religious cyberpunk series of novels - Archangel Protocol, Fallen Host, Messiah Node and Apocalypse Array - is currently writing "supernatural romance" under the name Tate Hallaway. While I hope someday to see more Lyda Morehouse novels with the sf bite of the Archangel series, the first Tate Hallaway is a lot of fun to read, too, and I'm awaiting the publication of the second one with some impatience.
Tall, Dark and Dead is an adventure-romance about a witch on the run and a vampire who wasn't turned in the usual way. There's humour, and sex, and plot twists, and blood and magic and betrayals and a nicely crafted love story, plus some solid knowledge of occult matters (although as a former professional astrologer myself, I have a small nit to pick with her on the distinction between progressions and transits). There are also some welcome Morehouse touches - for instance, the Vatican has a secret squad of witch-hunting assassins. A good read.
