The second in the series picks up some time after ’13 Days of Midnight’. Luke is now with Elza, and is doing his best to fit in (harder now he’s not popular).
When a foreign exchange student – Ash – appears, she eventually asks for Luke’s help in saving her twin sister. It’s quickly clear that Ash knows a lot more about necromancy than Luke does, and yet he doubts she can help him.
Luke has to make some difficult decisions, and he ends up relying on the help of people/spirits that he never wanted to see again.
Though I enjoyed the first novel, this was a real step-up. I loved the blend of humour and terrifying events, and really felt engaged with this story.
This is definitely a grower, and I’m curious to see where this goes in the next of the series.
