Publisher's summary

For a decade, Angel Salvatore has been the most powerful sorcerer and only necromancer in all the Northeast. Never one to ask permission nor apologies, he has acted with near impunity for years.

The High Council of Sorcery has come to Boston, and Angel is their target. Charged with numerous violations of practitioner laws, his freedom and family are placed in jeopardy.

If found guilty, Angel's apprentice Daniel will be imprisoned to serve out the remaining years of his apprenticeship. Isaac, his brother, is too vulnerable to be left unguarded, and Angel fears for his sanity and health. And Simeon, Elder vampire and Angel's mate, refuses to see Angel convicted under the laws of the Council and his actions to keep Angel free threaten to start a war that could destroy their world. And Angel faces the severest of punishments - the castration of his gifts.

Dealing with an impending trial, a wayward ghost, and a grave-robbing ring of thieves leaves Angel on the edge. He thinks he may have a handle on things until violence erupts across the city, and a stranger comes to town...a stranger with his own dark powers of necromancy.

Contains mature themes.

Love this series

Highly recommend. These are some of my favorite characters and storylines. I'm on third listen... Joel Leslie is amazing narrator.

Only complaint, really, is 'bundle of nerves' but that fanfic perpetuated travesty seems to be here to stay...

loved this series

Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Were there any parts I found annoying: no
Did I feel an emotional connection to the characters: yes
Would I listen to it again: in a heartbeat

I re-listened to Necromancer books 1 and 2 before this one and I've loved every minute of the all three. The world building is believable, the characters interesting and the pace of each book has been action packed and kept be completely absorbed the whole time. Necromancers Reckoning has had so much going on I've not wanted to put it down.

Joel Leslie does an epic narration of the whole series, really bringing the Beacon Hill world to life.

New challenges, enemies and creatures for Angel!

New challenges, enemies and creatures crowd this new chapter in the series.
Angel has to fight against the Council of Magic wanting to strip him of his powers and take his apprentice away, while also looking for a stolen ghost.
But while blows seem to come at him from every angle, he's as badass as always, and he has his mate, family, friends, and the cutest tiny dragon to help him in his endeavours to keep Boston safe!
I can't wait for the next instalment, which will be Isaac's tale.

Brilliant!

The series just keeps getting better and better. Although Angel acknowledges his anger is better, his wonderful snark remains alive and well.
Spoiler: I have to wonder now if Batiste will ever want a second elder again.
Joel Leslie gave another stellar performance. I’m so ready for book 4 to come out in audio, but I know it will be months. :-(
If you haven’t read or listened to this series, do it now, but keep them in order.

FANTASTIC SERIES

Awesome storyline. Sorcery, vampires and magic in the plot. Excellently performed by Joel Leslie, one of my favourite narrators. Interesting main characters and the secondary characters are great too. I hope there will be more books to come.

Decent, but not enough

Decent book, but not enough background on characters, clarification of who is speaking of how they relate early on.
Also, not enough adult material, nor enough description of the adult scenes
