Hold Me Closer, Necromancer by Lish McBride

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Both horrific and witty, scary and funny, here is a great story.
Sam: college dropout, hamburger flipper considers himself normal and a little aimless. All it takes is a game of potato hockey and a knocked out light on a Mercedes to change Sam's world from normal to paranormal. The event throws him into the sights of an evil and powerful necromancer named Douglas Montgomery. Sam turns out to be a necromancer too, making him Douglas's target for either slavery or death.

With the help of a bunch of friends, including a talking head, and some unusual acquaintances, witches, werewolves, a seer and a Harbinger, Sam has to figure out how to escape Douglas, keep his loved ones alive, and use his power while avoiding the nastier side of his new-found attributes.

The story can be gory and violent at times but this is off-set by witty dialog and comebacks. I couldn’t put it down, wanting to find out how Sam bested Douglas.

Recommended.
