Series in continuation can't get better. In this book, Elysia, Doug and Neil are competing against each other for the title of head necromancer to beat deacon and became the head in the Nelson necromancer family but real purpose, it is an opportunity to be possessed and controlled Alexander. James, determined to protect Elysia, find himself in some very unexpected spots and life threatening . Ian and Addie also feature in between for suitable amount of time.
As we read this book ,complexity of the plot Andre is weaving for reader is taking the series to another level. Every time I thought I cracked the suspense , author adds another twist of plot of mystery and necromantic working to her already stable story.
Elysia continues to charm, add her chemistry with James, is magical and humourous. Ian was his usual wonderful self. Neil, just developing to hope of what readers are expecting. Doug came as a surprise package. I hope author has a better lined -up of strong building of character in mind for him.
Will Elysia be able to find her mortal family and will Doug is no longer the heir of death in the family tangent

The trouble with these books are that they are just that little bit longer than a novella so you get really into the story and then it ends ...
This was so much more than a novella, Elysia and James and Doug and Neil and Alexander dominate this story as Ely and James try to find Alexander's daughter's body/litch. There's Making and potions and crypts and Grims galore.
This is one of the few series where I recall each of the characters from book to book, a fantastic addition and many thanks to Becca for uploading the day I went on holiday.

I was very disappointed throughout this book.
When Elysia was introduced, I thought she'd add an interesting new dynamic to the gang. She's barely even interacted with them, instead becoming immersed in the much less captivating world of necromancers.
Why is this a bad thing? Well, first, the necromancers. Crazy, powerful, ambitious, obsessed with lineage, manipulative... that's all of them. They virtually all have the same personality, from the centuries-old long-dead to the youngest of the bunch.
But it's their manipulative nature that really kills it. Their ability to convince, force, coerce, control, put under compulsion... it's used as a plot point too many times. Every single conflict in the book revolves around one of the heroes being controlled by a bad guy.
I hope in the next book we see more elements, more magic, more alchemy, more society. I love Ely, but I don't feel like the necromantic world is truly where she belongs. She could so some great work with Addie, Rowan and the gang. Make it happen, Becca!
