grumpy/sunshine, insta-love

Steam level: 🌶

I didn't read this for the magic system, but the necromancy in this book was fascinating. Our main character Shae is a necromancer, and he has to feed off people's energy to survive. If he's alone for too long, he may actually die. Being touch-starved becomes an excellent excuse for Arthur to cuddle with him, and I was here for it.

This was a fun, breezy book, even though there's a lot of death as well. The romance was really cute, and I loved both Shae and Arthur. It is a bit insta-love, but I didn't mind it much here.
