Hold Me Closer, Necromancer

Hold Me Closer, Necromancer
By Lish McBride
Henry Holt, 2010. 342 pgs. Young Adult

Sam’s life seems to be on the path to nowhere; he’s a college dropout and can’t afford the rent on his tiny apartment with his fast-food wages. But one night Sam encounters Douglas Montgomery, a powerful necromancer and the only necromancer in Seattle (who wants it to stay that way). When Douglas recognizes Sam as a fellow necromancer, Sam’s life becomes violent and unrecognizable. Thrust into a world of witches, werewolves, harbingers, and such, Sam struggles to use his power to defeat Douglas and keep his friends and family safe. Hilarious, fast-paced, and with a touch of fun romance this book will satisfy readers who like paranormal stories without the unending drama of love triangles and poor writing.
