Hold Me Closer, Necromancer by Lish McBride

From the first time I heard this title, I wanted to read this book.I mean, necromancers are usually portrayed as dark, foreboding and, well, evil. Why would anyone want to hold them closer?

I was instantly intrigued.

“Sam leads a pretty normal life. He may not have the most exciting job in the world, but he’s doing all right until a fast food prank brings him to the attention of Douglas, a creepy guy with an intense violent streak. 
 

— Description from GoodReads

I really, really enjoyed this book.Lish McBride takes something so dark and puts a fun, light spin on it.

Sam is a great character (and I do so love boy main characters!) and he is totally understandable in his dead-end job and love of skateboarding.

What teen can’t relate to a guy who can’t find a purpose to his life?

And then, all of a sudden, he learns about his powers and has a dark, evil adversary to contend with. All because his aim sucks in potato hockey.

Seriously, funny.

With zombie pandas and a kick-ass werewolf hybrid, this book has it all.

Well, except for a satisfying romance. I mean, c’mon!

There was so much potential. And then…we get no closure! Ahh!

I want to know what happens!

Maybe there’s another book and I just have to be patient.

Does anyone know?

This story seemed so plausible — it was set in a real location and used real-life situations with a twist of supernatural. I really enjoyed that chance from the typical paranomal books.

I really enjoyed this story. It’s a light read that pokes fun the dark, menacing underworld we all know and love.

Happy Reading!
