The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco
3.0
3.5 stars. Witchy, magical, mysterious. Tea is a disgraced bone witch who is busy raising an army of dead monsters while she tells her life's story to a "bard." Her story is sad and lonely. She is forced to leave her family (after accidentally resurrecting her dead brother at his funeral) and complete her witchy training in a geisha-style environment. The pressure is on because bone Witches have an important job to do (slay monsters), there are only two of them left in the world, and the other one (her teacher and mentor) is slowly dying.
This first novel (of 3) builds a lot of suspense because we KNOW some major shit happened that resulted in Tea's exile, but we don't know what it is. It ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, with some big secrets being dropped right at the end, so of course I've got to continue the series to see what happened to the kind and handsome prince. And what sort of revenge she's planning with her puppy-like pet monsters.
