But does he really have supernatural powers, as many of his disciples believe? _________________________ Reviews ...I would recommend this book very highly! It was an extremely entertaining read that kept me hooked right up to the end. ... Being from Honolulu myself, I really enjoyed the references to some of my old haunts in Necromancer. However, I never knew so much intrigue was going on! ... I am left wanting to read more of the authors work. It was one of the best books that I have read lately, and I read a lot. ... Enjoyed every moment reading this book. Kept me up until 5 am for 3 nights running. All the characters are well developed, the story moves so fast and smoothly there was no place to stop, nor did I want to. Looking forward to reading her other books. Book 2 in The Necromancer, WITCHY WOMAN, is now available on Amazon.
