Saying “I do” has never been so difficult…. Garnet Lacey has just about had it! Her carefully planned wedding is rapidly falling to pieces. Sebastian is the man of her dreams but the return of his dead ex-girlfriend (and the mother of Mátyás) is ruining everything. Téreza, like Garnet, is a witch and she has cursed Garnet. Will Garnet get the wedding of her dreams or is this a nightmare in the making? I’ve been a fan of Tate Hallaway’s series since the beginning as Garnet’s quirky personality is just a lot of fun. However, some of the elements I enjoyed so much in earlier books seem to be missing as DEAD IF I DO almost veers off towards more of a paranormal chick lit book. In fact, the magical elements almost seem an afterthought in some places and just part of the paranormal shtick in others. Some of the scenes are funny but those looking for the darker elements that were part of the first three books will find they are missing in DEAD IF I DO. Oddly enough, my favorite character in DEAD IF I DO is not the main characters but rather the beta male, William. I want to read William’s story now as he most certainly deserves his own happily-ever-after. William may be indecisive about who he is, but he personifies friendship. In fact, William’s heavy presence in the story is why this story rates a 3.5 instead of a lower rating. Overall, DEAD IF I DO is a disappointing entry in an otherwise fabulous series.
