Raising the Dead

 Hold Me Closer, Necromancer by Lish McBride

Samhain Corvus LaCroix is having a really bad day.  First he is threatened by a guy in a suit.  Then he is beaten up by a menacing thug.  Next his friend Brooke is killed and he is sent her head.  But worst of all -- he finds out he is a necromancer, a person who is able to control the dead.  And Douglas Montgomery the local necromancer is not happy to see him in his town.  Now Sam must figure out his powers before Douglas kills him and all his friends and family.


Hold Me Closer, Necromancer is a great story.  Sam is a typical teenager simply trying to figure out what to do with his life.  He is loyal to his family and friends.  He is disgusted by the idea of evil and especially evil in him.  The story is both funny and creepy at the same time.  Even better -- there is a sequel - Necromancing the Stone.
