How to Claim an Undead Soul

Beginner's Guide to Necromancy Series, Book 2

By: Hailey Edwards

Narrated by: Rebecca Mitchell

Length: 10 hrs and 24 mins

Publisher's summary

Life was simpler for Grier when she was flat broke and a social pariah. Now she's carrying the baggage that goes along with the title of Dame Woolworth, and shouldering that weight is giving her a serious crick in the neck. Her work as a Haint is the one thing that makes her feel normal, but even that's more paranormal than usual.

Spirits are vanishing from well-known hot spots on the ghost tour circuit, and vampires are turning up as shriveled husks. Grier takes it upon herself to uncover what's preying on Savannah's supernatural community, and what she uncovers is bigger than a few flickering lampposts gone dark. It's a deadly threat unleashed by one of their own, and saving her city just might kill her.

Contains mature themes.

Things are getting interesting....

I liked this book a whole lot more than the first book. We are seeing Grier's life do a 180 degree turn around as she is now "reinstated" and has become the Dame Woolworth. I'm still a little annoyed that she is not more upset with what happened to her and is not wanting to find out the reasons for her torturous experience, but that's just me.

I am beginning to really like Linus. For some reason, Boaz just seems. I don't know....slimy...to me. Maybe I'm wrong, but he seems like he likes the game more than the actual girl, but I could be wrong. Linus on the other hand seems so very sincere and there are hints that lead me to believe that he may have had feelings for Grier for quite a long time....but we will see. I could be wrong.

I also liked the story arc with this book and especially enjoyed getting to meet Oscar and seeing what her magic could do. There was a HUGE shocker at the end and I'm not sure how I feel about that. Let me just say that NOW the whole Potentate of Atlanta storyline is beginning to make total sense....who knew?

Rebecca Mitchell has been the narrator of the first two books and I have enjoyed her narration.

I think I'm hooked now so I've got to go because the next book is waiting.

narrator is annoying, story is pretty good

narrator is annoying but the story is pretty good. I think it's one of those that probably gets better as the series moves forward.

A great match

The producers of this series found a perfect match of story, reader and writer. The author takes the story line and weaves an intriguing tale that keep the reader interested and reaching for more. Great characters, and settings.
The reader is first class!

Love this world!

This series is fantastic! I love the intricacies and politics of mystic vs human worlds. The mystic society has a very detailed caste system. Can’t wait for the next novel!

terrible reader

I enjoyed this story but had to go back to reading it on my Kindle because the reader was quite poor. Every accent she did was exactly the same and it was bizarrely Russian sounding. A woman from India, an older Cajun woman etc all sounded like a Russian man.

It just gets better!

This is the 2nd book in the series. The tricks, turns and odd relationships allow this book to unfold the first book and spin you ready for a 3rd book! With all of the options left available, I’m just not sure which way it will go!

another amazing novel by an amazing author!

I must say that I'm truly absolutely LOVING this series so far! As the plot thickens it's just getting more and more interesting as to what will become or Heiress Dame Grier Woolworth- the last in her family line who was apparently (I say, "apparently," that bc Grier hasn't exactly been told yet the 100% truth of what exactly happened, as in play by play, on that fateful night that sealed Grier's fate for the next 5years to be spent with only utter fear and sheerr hopelessness to keep her company in this 24/7 dark supernatural dank prison -that no one (except for our Grier,) ever leaves! btw I would TOTALLY be dissociating hardcore too if I was in this seemingly hellish place! I for one cannot wait to hear what exactly happened. I'm also ENTHRALLED by the storylines that are all going on in this mega brilliant audiobook series and I shall be immediately pressing play for book #3 as soon s 8 hit submit on this review. what I will also tell you for those who do not know; something IMPORTANT -this series actually is intertwined with another: "The Redemption Of Boaz Pritchard," which atm is also in the Audible Prem. Plus catalog & if you click on that series - as in whwn u want to see for example, how many novels ls are in a series & their names- when u click and have a look it will show you the correct READING/LISTENING order to these intertwined series , bc idk about u but I cannot abide missing out books from series that have intermingling story lines with another series by the same author. anyway just a wee tip for y'all and enjoy bc I most definitely am!!
however I am wondering though 🤔 if I'm normal or not bc even tho so far as we have been told so far, Linus Lawson would be Grier's cousin as the deceased, "Aunt Maude Woolworth," &Linus's bi5chy

Enjoyed it

Likable characters, interesting story line. I do wish that the narrator had used a Georgian accent for characters that were raised in Savannah.

What a read!

4.5*s

Greer, Amalie and Boaz are back on a brand new adventure. Things aren’t always as they seem and as this story tells, not all that’s seen can be unseen.

I swear just when I figured out what was going on and who was doing what.... something else happened hat had me going hmmm...

Greer is trying to learn the parts of her craft she missed out on while she was in jail. Her teacher, her childhood nemesis is trying to do all he can to show her he is there for her and not just as a way to spy on her. Though, Linus hasn’t proven himself... yet.

The story unfolds and I tell you the more I listened the more I had to have. I just had to know what was happening next.

I will say this, the big reveal, the final ball dropping had my heart breaking.... and it’s one of those things you never see aiming. So it was fantastic!

Another solid installment

I'm really enjoying this series. It has enough action to keep me engaged, but not so much that I cant multitask while I listen.
