The Orphan of Cemetery Hill
by Hester Fox

Thank you to the publisher for sending me this book in exchange for an honest review
If you know me, you know I’m a sucker for stories about necromancers and ghosts. I’m not sure why, but I am. As soon as I read the synopsis for this book, I knew I had to read it. Now before you start thinking I’m an easy sell, let me enlighten you. No matter how enticing or interesting a blurb is, it’s up to the story and the characters to win me over. If anything, I’m probably a tad pickier when it comes to stories with necromancy involved. I’ve read too many books where it was executed poorly.
Luckily, I can say that Hester Fox did not let me down. I was ensnared from the first chapter. Tabby wormed her way into my heart almost immediately. I couldn’t help but feel for her. I can’t imagine being on my own at the age of 12. I really admire her strength and resilience. Caleb, our love interest, was also an interesting character. I really like how the author wrote his character arc. He grew a lot from the first time we met him.
I don’t want to spoil the plot. All I’ll say is that this book will sneak up on you. You don’t realize how mesmerized you are by it until you’ve turned the last page. I’ll definitely be checking out more of Hester Fox’s books now.
