Reluctant Necromancer

Rating: 5/5

Review: I love paranormal suspense, and this book certainly delivers. There are ghosts, werewolves, sorcerers, witches, half-demons, and a necromancer. This is the second in a great new trilogy by Kelley Armstrong (one of my favorite authors). Chloe is the necromancer who narrates the story, and she has some major issues in dealing with her unwanted powers of raising the dead. She has a few accidents, that are wonderfully creepy. Luckily, this book didn't leave me hanging quite as bad as the first, but I am still waiting anxiously for the third book to come out. Unfortunately, that's not going to be until May 2010. Ah well, There will be plenty of good stuff to read in the mean time.

Book Description: If you had met me a few weeks ago, you probably would have described me as an average teenage girl—someone normal. Now my life has changed forever and I'm as far away from normal as it gets. A living science experiment—not only can I see ghosts, but I was genetically altered by a sinister organization called the Edison Group. What does that mean? For starters, I'm a teenage necromancer whose powers are out of control; I raise the dead without even trying. Trust me, that is not a power you want to have. Ever.
Now I'm running for my life with three of my supernatural friends—a charming sorcerer, a cynical werewolf, and a disgruntled witch—and we have to find someone who can help us before the Edison Group finds us first. Or die trying.
