Silence by Michelle Sagara

4.0

I really enjoyed this as the start to a new and intriguing series. When she gets a creepy kiss from an old woman in the graveyard with a ice cold paper lantern, she starts seeing the dead. Emma's not like other Necromancers, however, so she doesn't use the power of the dead for magic. But as she transitions into a Necromancer, a powerful one too, Eric is charged with killing her. Except he knows she's different, that she's not evil, and ends up in a lot of hot water with his boss. This book had a lot of unexpected aspects--things I look forward to having explored more fully in book two.
