Praise for the novels of Tate Hallaway
Dead If I Do
 
“Abounds with magic, zombies, vampires, and ghosts so there is no shortage of fantasy action in the story to go along with the romance . . . A satisfying read and even though it is set in the dead of a Wisconsin winter (
brrrr
) it still ticks all the boxes for a fun summer read.”

Dead If I Do
is a terrific bewitching tale.”

For my beloveds: Shawn and Mason
Acknowledgments
First of all, I must take a bittersweet moment and say good-bye to all the characters found herein as this is the last of the Garnet Lacey series. “Gucci, Gucci, Garnet, you were a good series.”
Despite that old adage about a writer’s life being a solitary one, I find I’ve always been helped along in the process by a number of indispensable people. First, as always, the lovely and talented Anne Sowards, my editor, and the wise and indefatigable Martha Millard, the best agent anyone could ask for (seriously!).
Fellow writers who took the rough edges off this manuscript and smoothed them into the polished perfection you see before you now are Naomi Kritzer, who always sees the themes I intended and helps me exploit them, and Sean M. Murphy, who makes for an excellent plot monkey. The fine-grain sander on this work was brought to you by my incredibly supportive and infinitely patient partner, Shawn Rounds. Computer game breaks, silly fests, and very best parts of the story are thanks to my ever brilliant son, Mason.
Also a last-minute rescue was performed by Patrick Wood, computer god extraordinaire. I couldn’t ask for better friends. Thank you. Your generosity astounds and touches me deeply.
The Minneapolis/Saint Paul in this book mostly exists, though it reflects the Cities as I see them in my own head. And, though last time I checked, there are no trolls on the city buses, my friend Nick Dykstra drives one and he’s been a lot of things including an orc.
Lastly, thanks to you, faithful reader. I hope that after an appropriate period of mourning, you will continue to follow the strange meanderings of my imagination wherever it goes next.
Blessed be to you all and merry meet again.
