While I enjoyed the writing and found the world interesting, I had a hard time getting into this one. Grier was incarcerated at 16 for a killing someone (hint she didn't do it- not a spoiler). At 21 she is expectantly released, but why? That's one of the things that is discussed (shall we say) in this book.
While I really liked Grier (she has PTSD from her incarceration), I also thought she read younger then 21. I was worried at first because this had a hint of a love triangle, but luckily it was ...more

Grier has spent years in prison (drugged up) for killing her aunt, which she doesn't remember doing and is finally set free to be a pawn

What I enjoyed:

What could have been better:
* Grier seems waaaaaay too well adjusted for what happened to her
* There are a lot of politics going on and the sides aren't really explained
* (view spoiler) ...more

I thought that this was an interesting book. I read it because someone recommended it for someone who loved Annette Marie.

I thought that the concept was pretty interesting, and I am curious to see what happens in the next few. There were times when I was super confused, because things were happening and the reason why didn't really make any sense.

Read for SOS: BSB: R22: Week 3: Haunted House

I’m so glad that I stumbled upon this gem. Grier the Necromancer was a pretty interesting MC. I can’t wait to see what powers are revealed as the series counties. Woolly the haunted house is the cutest! 🖤 I loved Neely & Amelie. I had my eyebrow quirked for a hot minute while it was looking like there might be a possible love triangle but it seems like that is mostly resolved by the end of book 1, which I can live with. I really liked both Boaz and Da ...more
