About this listen
In a world where magic is real and evil walks amongst humanity, a young sorcerer is beset by enemies, both old and new.
Angelus Salvatore is the only necromancer in all of Boston, and his name is whispered warily by the undead and fellow sorcerers alike. He and his brother Isaac are the lone survivors of an attack by an army of the undead, in which Angel used a spell so powerful it forever marked his place in history. Now, years later, Angel struggles to balance his career as a teacher of the higher magical arts, his role as big brother, and a tenuous relationship with an Elder vampire from the local clan. When his brother's boyfriend is used as a pawn in a mysterious plot to draw Angel out, Angel is once again drawn back into the old hostilities that fueled the Blood Wars and led to his family's death.
Leaning on others for help is something Angel cannot do, and while he searches for clues as to who may be targeting him and his brother, Angel finds his heart steadily growing occupied with Simeon, Elder and vampire. Dealing with death magic and vampires on a daily basis may leave Angel jaded when it comes to life and staying that way, but the more time he spends fending off the ancient vampire's attention and affections, the more he realizes he wants to give in.
Can Angel find out who wants him dead, and keep his heart safe in the process? How can he fall for a vampire, when his whole family was torn apart by an army of the undead? Death stalks the streets of Boston's historic Beacon Hill...and there is no one more suited to battle against death than a necromancer.

Story
This week hasn’t gone the best for me unless you count Casimir, the sexy ancient vampire, bringing me back from the brink of death (and tying my fate to his in the process). Not that it matters if the werewolves and vampires don’t stop their ridiculous feud, because someone is targeting them and widening the divide between our communities with each body they leave in their wake. But as the alpha’s son, I have a plan to fix everything. I’m going to convince Casimir to fake date me to show the others that we can work together. I mean… what could go wrong?

Ari had a game plan for life: shoot people. Get money. Hang out with fellow criminal friends. He saw absolutely no reason to change that plan until one dark night in Memphis, when a little girl reached out to him with pocket change and a desperate plea for him to help her. Adopting an abused little girl off the streets was, needless to say, not part of the plan. Ari had no idea what he was doing with an eight year old. He especially didn’t know how to juggle taking contracts and raising a little girl.

"Look out for Zach, and don't hit on him." My brother's request sounds easy enough. Keep an eye out for his best friend on campus and keep my hands to myself. Easy. Even if Zach is a quintessential nerd, who I've always thought was cute, I don't have the time to think with my...stick. There's only one stick I should be focused on this year, and that's my hockey stick. My goal once I graduate is to get an NHL contract. The last thing I need is a distraction. On or off the ice. Only, keeping to the rules is harder than I thought it would be.

Story
A thousand years ago, my great-something uncle founded the Collective, a secret organization dedicated to protecting humanity from demons. The hunter tradition has been passed down over the generations, from parent to child, secure in the knowledge that the Collective is a community of safety and knowledge. But betrayal sucks, and six years ago, it turned my world—and the Collective—upside down. After generations of deception, the hunters left behind are picking up the pieces and trying something we’ve never done before—working side by side with our enemy.

Though I was born with the ability to see the dead, I struggled with it until my brother was killed and his ghost was left behind. Now, I’m determined to figure out who is responsible for his death…the problem is that Detective Maddox Booker, the one working the case, is a grumpy and stubborn man who wants nothing to do with me and definitely doesn’t believe in ghosts. It doesn’t help that I keep finding myself looking ridiculous in front of the detective, thanks to interfering ghosts who enjoy laughing at my expense.

Smart men never dabble with demons. I never claimed to be smart, but at least, I’m powerful enough to control them. When I bound Havoc to me nearly 300 years ago, I never realized how difficult he’d make my life, although “accidentally” lighting him on fire every now and then does bring a smile to my face. Havoc is handsome, mysterious, and somehow, my closest companion, even if we don’t always get along.

Being a hit man has its perks, but I never thought getting an accidental mooning by an attractive PI while he’s caught on a fence would be one of them. While it’s not exactly love at first sight, he’s captured my interest and won’t let go. Suddenly, I find myself caught in a game of cat and mouse, determined to attract the attention of Jackson, the PI who should be my enemy. He pretends like he’s not flattered by my flowers and the mentions of my totally-not-fictitious blow-up doll, Randy (or was it Dandy?), but I know better.

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

It’s really hard to pretend like life is normal when you’re staring a monster in the eyes, though he’s both tempting and irritating in his human form. I put my days as a hunter behind me, unable to cope with the death and pain anymore, to become an upstanding citizen and for what? To assist Lake, a man who claims he’s not a monster but keeps talking about me like I’m edible and–even worse–wants to woo me?

Great start to this series!
I don't know why I waited so long to read this book because it was awesome! I absolutely adored Angel and Simeon. Their relationship was all kinds of sweet and fluffy and cute against a background of vampires, dead bodies, and family issues. I listened to this on audio and it was fantastic! (I mean, I listened to an 8-hour audiobook in only 3 days, which is virtually unheard of for me since I have almost no time to listen to audio.) Very much looking forward to listening to the rest of the series! 4.5 stars rounded up to 5.

My kind of book!
Magic, hot vampires, murder, mystery, hot and steamy! And I can't forget Joel Leslie! Love it all! The only thing is the exposition, that I feel can slow down a scene. But I still enjoyed it.

in love with this story so far
I'm not even done the book yet but I wanted to write a review. IT IS SO FREAKING GOOD. I have been listening late Into the night and all day at work. I wish the book was longer.
Joel Lesile is a fantastic narrator and his characters voices are so distinguishable and well done. He nails the irish accent for Simeon and all the others too. I actually had just finished a different series with Joel as the narrator called the Arden St Ives series. (It is another steamy m/m romance which he does another bang on job.) I bought this book without realizing he was the narrator at first and I can't believe it's the same actor from the other series!!
The book itself is great right off the bat. Hooking you in with the interesting characters and world development. Five stars for everything. Give it a try if you like vampires, steamy sex, and an action packed story!

Sheer Magic!!!
Sheena Jolie Himes has built a fantastic world of magic in Boston, and it lives and breathes in her writing, and in Joel Leslie’s narration/performance.
SJ Himes writes sharp, descriptive prose, and I like the fact that Angelus Salvatore is a Necromancer with anger management issues. The play with the name Angel and death magic is just the tip of the iceberg of their writing. I’ve listened to this series several times, and it never fails to engage and enchant me.
The relationship between Angel and Simeon, who is a 400 year old vampire, is a journey in building trust, finding love, and two strong men who speak the language of sarcasm fluently.
We are introduced to some of the main characters in the Beacon Hill Sorcerer books, including Angel’s brother Isaac, his apprentice Daniel, his partner Dame Mildred Fontaine, members of the Boston Blood Clan, and Eroch, Angel’s familiar who could have a whole series of books of his adventures alone.
I highly recommend this, and the rest of the books in the Beacon Hill Sorcery series.
