Publisher Description
Death is a terrible power to wield…
...but I'll master the magic to save my family.
Most people think my life as a certified necromancer is filled with raising the dead to resolve estate disputes and make the rich richer. And they're not wrong. But I've added illegal raisings and consulting with the police to my résumé.
Normally, I ask the recently departed "whodunit" for the cops, but in a recent string of gruesome killings, the dead aren't helping. And while my consulting job is becoming a convoluted mess, the vampires think I'm key to untangling their problems. To complicate everything, I also keep getting sucked into the veil—the magical realm where spirits rest and a mysterious castle keeps appearing.
All I want in life is to do my job, help my mom pay her medical bills and not murder a certain arrogant detective. But if I don't figure out how the murders, the veil and the vampires are connected, all while keeping my less-than-legal activities from the cops, I might go from making sacrifices to becoming one.
A deliciously dark Urban Fantasy tale with a flawed necromancer trying to survive a harsh supernatural world by International Bestselling Author, J. C. McKenzie.

Oh my god. Just oh my god.
McKenzie did it again! This book is such a great read and is a fast read without losing key details and plotlines.
Lark is a girl with death powers that gets pulled into the world of police investigations, gruesome murders, and sexy men that know just what buttons to push to drive her senseless.
While navigating her usual office job with unusual hours, Lark is pushed by her sassy colleague, her deadly brother, and his bashful beau to open her heart to the right man for her. Too bad she either cannot follow her needs or she often finds herself drawn to guys that bring trouble her way.
Through all this, she is constantly forging forward with trying to make ends meet while paying for her mom's treatments, often finding herself wrapped into situations that are less than stellar.
And that ending! I had to reread the last chapter twice just to wrap my head around it! So many questions! You can bet, I'm buying at my bit to read the sequel!
This book has it all! From romance and passion to heartbreak and past and present traumas. Let me be absolutely honest when I say you will undoubtedly find something to love about this book.
McKenzie doesn't get as much credit as she deserves with her amazing writing and many series. If you are up for a new book, this one needs to make your tbr asap!
From one Canadian to another, thank you again for such a great book written in the Canadian context! It's a rare find and even rarer to find it done well.
I'd be shouting my recommendations from the Rockies to Green Gables!
12/10 would recommend!
