This book was so fun! don't listen to the reviews which say it's hard to follow. if you understand how flashbacks work, then you should be okay. and yeah there are a few characters. but this is a fantasy-horror book, the first in a series, so there has to be world building and character building. the story read smoothly and was full of twists and turns. loved it!!!I'd just like to make a point of saying that three stars for me can mean indifference or "liked but had issues with" or just anything else in between the two. This book I liked, let's be clear on that, I don't want to be the hosepipe at the bonfire on this one. It's taken me a long time to get around to reading this because funny is a harder sell for me than dark, sad, disturbing... take your pick. Obviously, humour is far more subjective than those I just mentioned. However, I can say that as
Sam a lazy college dropout vegetarian discovers one day he is a necromancer, not knowing or believing in the supernatural he handles it very badly.This book was not something I would usually read, I don't like horror that much but since it was mixed with humor, I thought it would be interesting , it was funny, not scary at all, I had a lot of fun and that last sentence in the book was hilarious .

Next time a talking head ended up in my easy chair, I would have all sorts of points of reference, but at that moment, I was completely at sea. This was a fun one.It's far from being a perfect masterpiece, but it's nice and hilarious enough to make you want to spend a few hours reading it. The writing is filled with sarcasm and it flows smoothly. Good characters too, and if the plot wasn't so weirdly constructed and vaguely rushed, this book would gain another star.
Confession: I am ridiculously addicted to 80s high school movies. In a I've-watched-them-40-million-times kind of way. In a I-own-hideously-expensive-collector's-editions kind of way. In a I-would-love-to-be-Lloyd-Dobler's-honey kind of way. I mean, seriously, who could resist this face?Not me!If someone had plucked Llyod Dobler off the sets of Say Anything, and stuck him in paranormal YA book, he would probably be called Sam LaCroix. Now this is Point 1 in Lish McBride's favour. You can keep
Where is the number one place for finding severed heads? What makes pressed jeans SO creepy? And where can I get homemade waffles right now? These are just a few of the many fun questions that rolled around in my head and made me laugh while reading Lish McBrides Hold Me Closer, Necromancer.For me, the star of this show is the playful attitude and tone of the tale. The characters find themselves in some painfully awkward conversations and dangerous situations, but they always seem to come up
2.5 stars. I think, for me, Lish McBride's brand of humor works better in small short-story-sized doses than in a full-length novel. We start out this story with an aimless young man, Sam, aimlessly working at a dead-end job in a fast-food restaurant, horsing around with his friends and hating his job and cracking jokes to the reader about his job and life in general. This goes on for two or three chapters, and by then I'm starting to mentally check out because aimless young guys are not even
