A review by annmarief
My Boyfriend's Back by Elliot Cooper

3.0

I received a copy of this book from the author via the M/M Romance Group’s Don’t Buy My Love program in exchange for an honest review.

I am a little confused regarding how to review this book as it was absolutely not what I was expecting. The book tells the story of Steven & Dax, both students of magic attending college and they live together as a couple. Early in the book Dax has an accident and dies so Steven uses his skills in necromancy to bring him back to life as a zombie. The rest of the story is basically Steven trying to deal with the results of his actions.

I think my biggest issue with the book would have to be the fact that I disliked Steven and I never warmed up to him. The only thing he seemed upset about was the fact that Dax was a zombie who was not acting like his boyfriend and not about murders that occurred as a result of turning Dax into a zombie. He acted like a jerk towards zombie Dax and it was a real negative for me.

I liked the secondary characters, especially the animated doll and Steven’s aunt who is a ghost. I also enjoyed the use of magic and as other reviewers have said the call back to Harry Potter.
