Summary

Even love can die without trust.

Angel's brother, Isaac, has returned home, and the pair begins to make slow and awkward attempts back to each other. Learning how to be a brother to a grown man instead of a parental figure has Angel adjusting his behaviors and habits, and Isaac still remains a mystery. Was it merely entering adulthood that turned Isaac away from an overprotective Angel, or does Isaac carry a secret that will keep them from finally being a real family?

Daniel Macavoy, Angel's new apprentice, is torn between his bond with Angel and the grasping machinations of his father. Dealing with a traumatized apprentice with dangerous holes in his magical education, saving Daniel may be harder than Angel first thought - especially since the biggest problem is not revenge, but guilt.

The one shining beacon in his life is Simeon, Elder vampire of Boston's only Bloodclan. Four hundred years old and sexy as sin, Simeon is warrior and sage, patient and cunning. The strength Angel draws from Simeon's devotion and the newborn mate-bond between them is steadfast and true - and the fount of death magic that animates the undead lord places Angel in the midst of a power struggle for control over himself, his lover, and his family.

Through it all, Angel is beleaguered by the unwanted attention of a troll-hybrid, the adventures of a dragon in the city, and a serial killer has decided to hunt the back alleys and midnight streets of Boston.

Contains male/male sexual content. Violence, gore, sex, vampires. A cute dragon and some snark. Okay, lots of snark.

Great Story of magic and vampires

Enjoyed this second installment again as an audiobook after reading it quite a while ago.

The performance was great, just the high quality I have come to expect.

My only distraction was that I believe this narrator also narrated another book I have listened to often, which was a romantic comedy. Not necessarily an issue however it appeared he used the same voice for acting one or two characters in both books and it was quite disconcerting to have two very different characters of different age and demographic, (species?) have the same voice.

grèat book 2

book 2 just as good as first one. A unknown supernatural is abducting/killing both humans and supernaturals.
An interesting mystery. Charactures from book 1 contunue to develop and some interseting interactions between them. Don't mess with Angels loved ones! A grest ending but leaves you wanting to download book 3. Naration spot on. Loved it. Brings out the humour really well to.

another great book

A great second book in the series. It has everything a reader could want from a book, great ,well written, characters, plenty of excitement and a plot to keep your interest from start to finish. As usual the narration is top notch. I can't help but binge listen to these books and I listen to this one on a lazy bank holiday and I am straight onto the next book in this series now. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Story beautifully written

Where does The Necromancer's Dilemma rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I love this series, Hope there are more. It is in my top 5 books that I have listened too, outstanding.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Far to many to list, Angel Simeon, I love Milly's character, every character was written so very good. Poor Daniel's I felt for him very much. Milly's sass. I could go on, S J Himmes, has an awesome talent. I also like how Angel and Isaac learning how to be better brothers, watching Angel grow in his character.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I really enjoyed listening to Angel and Simeon how they both work so very well together. This book ticks all my boxes supernatural being, Spells magic, Vampers everything.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I wish I could have done, I read book one in one sitting, this in two.

Any additional comments?

I hope there will be more as I loved this series, Leslie Joel's really get into his characters he is betraying. I cannot praise these books enough.
