Publisher's Summary

Necromancer is such an ugly word, but it's a title Eric Carter is stuck with.

He sees ghosts, talks to the dead. He's turned it into a lucrative career, putting troublesome spirits to rest, sometimes taking on even more dangerous things. For a fee, of course.

When he left LA 15 years ago, he thought he'd never go back. Too many bad memories. Too many people trying to kill him.

But now his sister's been brutally murdered and Carter wants to find out why.

Was it the gangster looking to settle a score? The ghost of a mage he killed the night he left town? Maybe it's the patron saint of violent death herself, Santa Muerte, who's taken an unusually keen interest in him.

Carter's going to find out who did it, and he's going to make them pay.

As long as they don't kill him first.

In The Mood For Necromancy

If you are looking for a dark urban fantasy story with a broody character and intense necromancy, this is the book for you.

After years of isolating himself, necromancer Eric Carter has returned home to solve the murder of his sister. This means facing old friends and new enemies, and hoping Eric's magic and tenacity will be enough for him to survive.

This book and characters definitely fit its tone. Eric has a great deal of anger, attitude, and angst, which makes him well suited for his line of work. It was difficult to empathize with him at certain points, given how he's treated his friends and family, yet he was balanced enough for me to want to see him succeed.

The book follows many tropes common in urban fantasy, though it changes some things once the magical element becomes present. The magic is exciting and fun, definitely adding to the gritty, dark atmosphere of the book. I loved seeing the magic work this way, especially in one of the many fight scenes.

Ultimately, this book is something of a mood read. I couldn't quite connect with Eric the way I wanted to, but was entertained enough to be intrigued about the next books in the series. The stakes are high and it's inventive with necromancy. Recommended for lovers of dark urban fantasy and hardened main characters!

Not to bad

This was pretty good, I like the graphic audio. It adds to the story and is a movie in your mind for sure.

The actors provided a realistic feel to the story.

I liked this one enough to move on to the second one.
