Necromance

Esper and her ever-expanding group of freaks set out to confront one of the most powerful sorcerer families in the US. It turns out Toma's brother is missing, someone out there is powerful enough to make an entire nest of vampires disappear—oh, and Toma's family are a bunch of assholes. With all the political bull and the thinly veiled threats against Esper's kind, it's almost a relief to leave Toma's family behind. Too bad the only help she has cleaning up the sorcerers' mess is one small medium, one overly-emotional vampire, one busty werewolf, and one guy who doesn't even have a body of his own.

Oh, and then there's the weird familiar with boundary issues.

Just another day in the life of the world's most awkward necromancer.  

Author's Note:

Fed up with the usual tropes in romance and reverse harem? I wanted characters that are more than the fainting female and alpha male cookie cutter stereotypes that saturate the genre. (There's nothing wrong with it, if you like that sort of thing, but it just got old for me!) People come in all shapes, sizes, personalities, and gender/sexual orientations—so when I pick up a book and have trouble telling the difference between the characters…that's a problem.

*The Reluctant Necromancer series is a sequence of novellas between 35,000-40,000 words in length. While the main plot arc in each book will be resolved, there may be mild cliffhangers/segue into the next book with new issues arising.

*This author's characters are as flawed and damaged as real life—do not read if you are easily offended by talk of past trauma of any kind. This includes uncomfortable situations of any kind—sexual, physical, mental/emotional. (No explicit scenes of this nature, generally, but they will talk about what's happened in the past and it may be distasteful if you are easily triggered).

*Contains mature adult content, including but not limited to: graphic sex, adult language (that means swearing, folks) and fictional situations with some gore and or action/violence.

*This is a reverse harem urban fantasy, and the author firmly believes love is love, and as such includes themes of: polyamory (multiple lovers), MF, MMF, MM, FF, and MMMFF love.
