Before reading this book, I had no idea what necromancy was but after reading it I feel like I could be an expert on the subject.
The story follows Samain LeCroix, a 20 something year old who dropped out of college and is working at a fast food restaurant with his friends Ramon, Brooke and Frank. His life seems pretty pathetic until he discovers that he actually has the power of necromancy!
Unfortunately, a very powerful necromancer, Douglas, wants to kill Sam and take his power away from him. Sam gets kidnapped, meets a werewolf-fairy hybrid, develops his powers and does some pretty amazing things!
What's cool about this book is that it moves from first person (when Sam is talking) to third person so the reader can understand what's going on beyond what Sam is aware of. It gives the book a movie-type feel that just gets your imagination going.
Also, each chapter of the book are lyrics from popular songs; Sweet Dreams are Made of These, Papa Was a Rolling Stone, Come Together, Right Now, Over Me. And the lyrics pretty much sum up what's going to happen in the chapter.
Apparently, a sequel is already in the works Necromancing The Stone but no release date or author confirmation has been made yet.
I really enjoyed this book so I definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys action, suspense, supernatural beings, and a little humour.
