Sam was always a bit of a loner. \u00a0He found it difficult to connect with other people and had only a few friends. \u00a0One night, while Sam was working at his fast-food job, he had an unusual encounter with a customer who took one look at him and started asking strange questions about where he came from and whether he was granted permission to move to Seattle. \u00a0But, Sam had always lived in Seattle. \u00a0And why would he have needed permission to move there anyway?\u00a0 So weird!\u00a0 Then, at the end of their shift, Sam and his friends got attacked by a huge man with superhuman strength.\u00a0 Things went from weird to scary pretty fast. \u00a0It turned out that Sam never knew it, but\u00a0he was a necromancer.\u00a0 Suddenly, many of the quirky things about himself and his family had supernatural explanations and started to make more sense.\u00a0 Sadly, “making more sense” and “making sense” aren’t exactly the same.<\/p>\n
Lots of action, a bit of mystery, and sarcastic\/twisted humor made this book hard to put down. \u00a0Readers who enjoy books like Killer Pizza<\/em><\/a> and I Kissed a Zombie and I Liked It<\/em><\/a> should definitely check this one out. \u00a0I know I’m looking forward to reading the sequel (Necromancing the Stone<\/em>) when my “to be read” pile gets a little shorter, though I’m a little afraid those chapter titles will also get a bunch of songs stuck in my head. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sam was always a bit of a loner. \u00a0He found it difficult to connect with other people and had only a few friends. \u00a0One night, while Sam was working at his fast-food job, he had an unusual encounter with a customer who took one look at him and started asking strange questions about where he … Continue reading Hold Me Closer, Necromancer by Lish McBride<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,6,8,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-posts","category-books-for-young-adults","category-fiction","category-reviewed-by-chrissie"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2790"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2790\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
