What they have in common is their cynicism, irreverence, and fast food employer. Sam's a smart and introspective college drop-out, Brooke's a manipulative smartypants (and I mean that in the most flattering way possible) in a cheerleader's body, Ramon's still in college and living on Sam's couch, and Frank's the new kid that they're all trying to break and/or befriend. I laughed out loud (on a quiet commuter train, no less) while reading this book.

It's awesome.įor me, though, the funny stuff won. The hilarity keeps the book from getting too too scary, but the story still never loses it's dark and serious edge. Looking for a fresh spin on the paranormal mania. Also nice to see another male protag! The ending seemed to set us up for more adventures with newbie Necromancer, Sam. Love the cross appeal to both guy and girl readers. Great writing, pacing, characters, and plot. Not for the kiddies if you ask me though. Contains some colorful language, but nothing over the top. Moderate amount of violence, some pretty gory. I just loved how different this book is from others on the shelves, and highly recommend it. Not any easy task I bet, but it is done in Hold Me Closer, Necromancer without being confusing or overwhelming. Any author that can take such a huge variety of creatures, and create a well written and engaging book is pretty darn impressive. The author’s voice really helps her to stand out among the Young Adult writing world. The titles at the beginning of each chapter also helped with the fun. There are also gnomes! Yes, gnomes! For the record I have a huge love of garden gnomes, and any author who can work them into a plot is super cool in my book.

Not only did she incorporate a talking head into the plot, but she also found a most clever use for the much loved Blackberry. Add Sam’s interesting crew of friends into the mix, and things get really interesting.ĭebut author, Lish McBride, really created something special. We have Sam who was given a deadline by jealous necromancer, Douglas, and Brid, a werewolf who finds herself held captive. The first portion of the book features two story lines that eventually merge. Really, how cool is that title? I’m thrilled to say it lived up to its awesome title. I didn’t even need to know what it was about to add it my wish list.
