About this listen

Liam Elloway is the survivor of a terrible accident, but when he gets swept up into the world of the occult and enrolled at a strange academy for practitioners of dark magic, things get really interesting really quickly. As the first necromancer enrolled at the school in years, and the only mage of a certain type known to exist in centuries, all eyes are on Liam as he begins to discover his destiny. But can his sneering headmistress be trusted? And between the gorgeous celestial girl, the raven-haired vampire, and the pink-haired, red-horned half-demon, how will he manage his new relationships?

undoubtedly the author's best work. the necromancer MC is a new thing for me but it was amazing. the headmistress was an interesting character and the women were all hot and sexy. the storyline was pretty cool and the narration was good. I haven't listened to anything by this pair before, but they did a great job bringing this book to life.

Amazing

At my request I received a copy of this audiobook in order to give a fair and unbiased review.

Genre: Harem in magic school where MC is only necromancer.

Power dynamics in harem: Chaos, everyone loves the MC and does what is best for him, but there are many strongwilled girls.
Explicit/adult material: Explicit. Vampire, daddy, sexy girls.

Summary:
Liam is going through a tough time, recently his family all died in an accident that he was the only person to survive from. Suddenly monsters are attacking him, and he is taken away from his life as he know it to learn magic.
Apparently he has the potential to become a strong necromancer and he is taken to a school to train directly under the head mistress as necromancy is a rare art. We follow him and his friends and lovers as he learns more about himself, his new world, his friends and the school head mistress.

Narrators
Voice diversity: Each character had clearly distinct and memorable voices making it trivial to follow conversation from narration alone.
Pacing and intonation: Excellently done. The storytelling is immersive and alive.
Sex scenes: Very well done.
Bruno Anderson and Peggy Greyson does a magnificent job. I have no notes.
Overall: 5 / 5 stars.

The book’s strengths.

- The women have strong and distinct personalities. Though they are clearly into the MC they never feel like interchangeable hot bodies.
- Maybe part of the above. But the characters are flawed. Noone is perfect and yet everyone is.
- Humour. There are a ton of small references and plays on words that had me chuckling throughout.
- There are familiars. I am a sucker for cute and powerful pets.
- Great narration

The book’s weaknesses.
- Nothing comes to mind. I just look forward to the next of the series!

Overall: 5/5 stars
A story that could stand on its own, but also builds a great foundation for a series. I want more!

Ok I know you're not supposed to pick based on cover but hey I did. I got started and couldn't stop. As long as you don't take it seriously it's a good book. If only I could be the MC.
The narrators did a fantastic job bringing the story to life. They actually establish what felt to be real characters. Well done!
