Read at your own peril.Sam is starting to get used to his role as a necromancer. This review may contain spoilers for the previous book. While the first was fun, this one amps everything up and adds in liberal amounts of ridiculousness, culminating in a very fun, very entertaining sequel. Additionally, McBride shows the sort of savvy for audience satisfaction yes, Sam is woefully outclassed in some matters, ignorant in most, but occasionally he gets that kickass moment that makes you put the book down on your lap and sigh in utter contentment. The plot resolution is telegraphed fairly early, but the ride is immensely entertaining, and the new character McBride introduces are fun and off-beat.

Her characters are immensely likable, and though some of the jokes can feel a little forced, more of them hit true.

Our sarcastic hero is lovable and sympathetic, and thankfully McBride chooses to have an outside villain to contend with, rather than the tired 'I mustn't let my friends know of this cool new superpower!' which crops up so often in these types of stories (when, really, wouldn't calling your friend immediately to tell them be the first thing most people would do?). If the previous had shades of Reaper, the TV show, the sequel is Reaper meets The Dresden Files - Sam riffs quips off of his friends, there are gnome-related puns, Canadian gladiators, and Sexy Gary to contend with in this novel, and everything is amped past the point of ridiculousness.

Oh, and the gnomes who campaign for beer and internet access.Īs Sam adjusts to his new circumstances, new things keep conspiring to keep him off balance: his new position as Council member (he has no idea what he's doing), his new money (he has no idea what to do with it), and, naturally, a murder that he must solve before he gets torn to shreds by a pack of angry werewolves. Irreverent, full of pop culture references and jokes, and utterly hilarious, Sam is back again, this time as a full-blown necromancer and living on a newly inherited estate with his friends, some helpful agents of the dead, and a house spirit who is equally disdainful and despairing of his new master.
