In a world where magic is real and evil walks amongst humanity, a young sorcerer is beset upon by enemies, both old and new. Angelus Salvatore is the only necromancer in all of Boston, and his name is whispered warily by the undead and fellow sorcerers alike. He and his brother Isaac are the lone survivors of an attack by an army of the undead, in which Angel used a spell so powerful it forever marked his place in history. Now, years later, Angel struggles to balance his career as a teacher of the higher magical arts, his role as big brother, and a tenuous relationship with an Elder vampire from the local clan. When his brother's boyfriend is used as a pawn in a mysterious plot to draw Angel out, Angel is once again drawn back into the old hostilities that fueled the Blood Wars and led to his family's death.Leaning on others for help is something Angel cannot do, and while he searches for clues into who may be targeting him and his brother, Angel finds his heart steadily growing occupied with Simeon, Elder and vampire. Dealing with death magic and vampires on a daily basis may leave Angel jaded when it comes to life and staying that way, but the more time he spends fending off the ancient vampire's attention and affections, the more he realizes he wants to give in. Can Angel find out who wants him dead, and keep his heart safe in the process? How can he fall for a vampire, when his whole family was torn apart by an army of the undead? Death stalks the streets of Boston's historic Beacon Hill....and there is no one more suited to battle against death than a necromancer.… (plus d'informations)

Not bad, although it suffers from Everyone Wants The Protagonist syndrome. ( )

Not bad, but it could have been better. I would actually like see the relationship between Angel and Simeon develop, rather than be told Simeon, a vampire, had been courting Angel for two years (previous to the book's start). The result is that I felt the relationship between them came out of no where with no real basis from which to build. And all the loving endearments in the world on Simeon's part do not prove, to me anyway, that they actually have something real. Sigh. ( )

I enjoyed this very much. I recommend it if you liked Hailey Turner's Soulbound series.

The worldbuilding is fascinating. The author took the time to go into detail about the crafting of spells, and how Angel uses his affinity to death. I actually liked this part of the book more than the romance. Angel's relationship with the vamp Simeon was intriguing at first and I expected the process to be more drawn out. Instead it came on a bit sudden, though not unsatisfyingly. And then in the second half of the book it turned a bit too sweet, you know talking about fated mates and whatnot, but the author tried to tone it down with Angel's snarky comments. “Tell me, necromancer, what do you know of mating rituals among supernaturals?” Angel looked at Simeon, “You said we weren’t magically mated, dammit!”

In the end we got back to defeating the villain and live happily ever after.

Bad editing and too much sex (for my taste) made me round it down instead of up. Other than that - a very enjoyable read :)
