While not as fast paced or detailed as the first book, this one is still well worth the listening time.

Sam LaCroix is having an interesting life, that's for sure. It's only been about 6 weeks since he discovered that a] there's a whole supernatural side to the world and b] he himself is a necromancer. He's had nightmares since Douglas' (the evil necromancer from the first book) death and is not too keen on being a necromancer, especially with the idea of having to make sacrifices (i.e. killing other creatures) to call up the dead. It is an idea which cuts across the grain and goes against Sam's personal principles.

To be fair, at this point in the story he's only known about his necromancy for about 6 weeks. That's not a lot of time to really learn much about his new world. Still, while he's not stupid, I am thinking that Sam should pay more attention to what's going on around him.

To make matters worse, his relationship with Brid, the next in-line-Alpha, of the local werewolf pack is being met with some resistance by a number of people in the pack (though we only see one named Erik). When Brannoc, the Alpha of the pack, is murdered by an unknown entity the situation gets all the more tense, especially when Sam is unable to discover the murderer using his unique ability.

James, Douglas' pukis, finds himself torn between two masters. Though he's still very loyal to Douglas, who rises from the dead to cause more mayhem in Sam's life, he finds he's more and more drawn into Sam's circle of friends and family. As a result, he finds though he's been ordered otherwise, he can not bring harm to Sam's sister Haley. In the end this dual feeling of loyalty will prove crucial to bringing an end to the crisis of Douglas' existence.

Minion, the servant James and Douglas, erm, dig up for menial tasks is there purely for the laughs. And McBride drops a number of clues as to just who Minion is ... my favorite: "Did I pick the red or the blue pill?"

Loved it almost as much as the first one. I almost gave it 4 stars but Sam is such a likable character and it is populated with other likable characters that the minor problems I had with it (bringing up characters from the first book without much reintroduction? I might have missed it) fell to the wayside. ( )

I finished Hold Me Closer Necromancer, and then immediately (as in less than 12 hours later) read this sequel. As a result the two are a bit mashed together in my head. I liked this book, although maybe not as much as the first book. The story didnt seem to come together quite as well, and there were a lot of characters that I ended up either wanting to know more about or forgetting who was who. Once again though it was a good mixture of funny and scary, and I never got bored with it. Worth reading if you enjoyed the first book. ( )

I liked this pretty much just as much as the first one. The author has a great voice and style, all her characters secondary or not feel fleshed out and real and the plot holds your attention. Loved it:) ( )

Another charmer from McBride. I liked this one better than the last--the characters were more fully developed and the storyline was complex. I love Sam, he's a total dream boat. Lots of humor, including a very funny glimpse at the world of the Bigfoot. Yes, Bigfoot. Looking forward to the next in this fun, entertaining series. ( )
