From Goodreads:
With the defeat of the evil Douglas behind him, Sam LaCroix is getting used to his new life. Okay, so he hadn’t exactly planned on being a powerful necromancer with a seat on the local magical council and a capricious werewolf sort-of-girlfriend, but things are going fine, right?
Well . . . not really. He’s pretty tired of getting beat up by everyone and their mother, for one thing, and he can’t help but feel that his new house hates him. His best friend is a werebear, someone is threatening his sister, and while Sam realizes that he himself has a lot of power at his fingertips, he’s not exactly sure how to use it. Which, he has to admit, is a bit disconcerting.
But when everything starts falling apart, he decides it’s time to step up and take control. His attempts to do so just bring up more questions, though, the most important of which is more than a little alarming: Is Douglas really dead?
I loved Lish's first book so much, so I'm desperately waiting for this one. I might have to do a re-read of Hold Me Closer, Necromancer before so I remember what happened. :) I love how Lish is able to mix humour with horror. Sure, things aren't always going well with Sam, but it shows he's got guts and spine to crack jokes in the face of death.
Ooooo, that cover is gonna stand out on a shelf.
