It feels like ages since I've read a good YA. Especially one I deem worthy of a 5 star rating. The last two to three YAs I've actually put down and never looked back. After the first two pages of HMC,N I thought "this is fun!" After 20, I had no thoughts. Nothing but shear, undeniable addiction.McBr...
OK, by the end I was interested, and I'd actually like to see what happens in the next book. But the first 25% was completely odd, disjointed and ridiculous. (Really? A talking severed head? I get that it's YA fiction, but seriously--give your readers a little more credit.)I think the novel's bigges...
This book was exactly the kind of humorous light urban fantasy read I tend to enjoy. Probably because it's funny, full of snark and retorts, and deals with the supernatural world in a way that feels both adequate and over-the-top, if only because there are, indeed, just as many supernaturals in Seat...
I had never read a book featuring necromancers before, so the premise really intrigued me. I also haven’t read much in the way of paranormal books (YA or adult) in quite a while. And I really enjoyed it! If you like witty and sometimes dark humor with a paranormal twist, don’t miss this one. Sam and...
Lish McBride's Hold Me Closer, Necromancer may have been a victim of very high expectations. Every review I'd read told me I was going to love this book. I was convinced it was going to be my favorite book of all time. When I was finally able to purchase it, I bought it and devoured it and while I l...
You can read all of my reviews at Alluring Reads.Actual rating: 3.5After reading Helen Keeble's Fang Girl, I realized that paranormal and comedy was the perfect combination for me so when I came across Hold Me Closer, Necromancer, I was all over it. Lish McBride put together a great paranormal story...
Didn't really like this one.There were some funny moments, but otherwise the whole thing felt staged and forced. Things seemed to happen for no particular reason and without foreshadowing. You just had to follow the events, nothing had weight, nothing explained, no "rules" either. Just a little bite...
This book has to be one of the funniest books I have read in a long time. It made me laugh all the way from page 1 and Sam's smart-ass-ness really made me gasp for breath more than once. I loved all the characters, even Doughlas in a you're-a-badass-villain-I-am-supposed-to-dislike kind of way. The ...
Hold Me Closer, Necromancer is an entertaining read. McBride mixed humor and a dark tone well and her characters were rather memorable. The friendships between Sam, Ramon, Brooke and Frank was well done and felt realistic and endearing. Humor was handled well, although I would liked to have seen sli...
