Hold Me Closer, Necromancer by Lish McBride
5.0
After reading the preview, Necromancer #0.5, and laughing out loud and thoroughly enjoying what I was reading I promptly bought the full book.
The characters are instantly relatable and likeable, and Lish's sense of humour kept me smiling even when the scene seemed grim. Often, though, I felt like I was given information that I didn't know what to do with; as if I was supposed to know automatically what something meant when really I felt just as clueless as Sam at times. But eventually I overlooked it, because I learned to think of it as being thrown into the situation much like Sam was. Without direction or even a hint of what was going on, so you were experiencing everything just like he was. Off-putting at first but you grow to understand why Lish did it that way. It's funny how some of the other characters are like, "Well obviously it's because of such-and-such" and Sam is like, "Say what now?"
The story picked up really fast and Lish was able to wrap everything up quickly and cleanly. I wasn't left wondering about something that was mentioned before and then forgotten about, she left nothing behind and it made for a nicely written book. It seemed too short, though, but I suppose that was done on purpose so to set up the second book. Well she succeeded; I am hooked.
