Hold Me Closer, Necromancer by Lish McBride
4.0
Well I had my doubts when I started reading this book, but I ended up really enjoying it.
If you can imagine Harry Potter meets Buffy (I mean this in a positive way) you'll have it close. The plot is vaguely HP (what YA fantasy isn't these days) a regular boy discovers he has secret powers, he must fight a powerful evil guy (no boarding school) who wishes to do him in because he is a threat. But the plot has detail and twists that are original, the writing is witty and snappy (like Buffy was) and the love interest is a strong female worth her salt. I look forward to reading the sequel when it comes out and will definitely recommend this to kids looking for more of that type of story.
