When I was younger, my mother saved my settlement from the unblessed dead that would have killed us all. It cost her everything to reveal her necromancy and sent shockwaves through our stringent religious settlement. Convicted of heresy against our sacred lost texts, she died soon after.
Since then, I have worked hard to maintain my pious standing so that when I turn 18 I will be selected by a suitable husband at the bridal auction.
As the large clock in town square ticks down to my 18th birthday, the dead have been appearing in my garden. If I’m discovered, I’ll face the necromancer trial just as my mother, oldest sister, and I did all those years ago. This time I fear I will not survive it.
To add to my worries, an enigmatic handsome young man has arrived in the settlement. Around him swirls a green aura only I can see. Is he here to help me? Or does he have more nefarious plans?
My name is Ilyse Nott, and I fear I am a necromancer.
If I am, my life is over.

check their book list weekly for new releases. The Unblessed Dead is An amazing twist on the Zombie genre but it's way more than just a Zombie story. Give this book a chance you will not regret it, the only problem is you will want more and more. The world was painted so richly as were the characters. As I am writing this i am downloading the second book to my phone. It's beyond that good.

I am so very glad I stuck with this book as the narration began to improve or maybe I just got used to the tone and pace of the narrator. Set in a very unique future, centuries after the zombie apocalypse and amongst religious zealots who fear necromancy. By the end of the book I couldn't wait to get my hands on the next chapter in this excellent story of one girl's struggles with the confusion surrounding coming of age, the fear for herself, her sister and what the future brings.
I definitely would not hesitate to recommend this book, I hope you love it as much as I did.
Unique twist to the Zombie genre, Necromancers!!!

I liked that this book had a different type of story that involved pious women and the cult like worship. The character interaction was engaging and I liked that there were twists to the story involving necromancy.
When the book ended it left me wanting to know what happens next!

I didn’t want the story to be over. I’ve listened to a lot of zombie stories and this is a very original one. I love the addition of the special abilities (necromancy) and their religious beliefs surrounding them. The social structure is interesting- religious based beliefs dictate life, girls can’t speak to men outside their family circle, girls are auctioned off once of age, education is limited, they’re aware of other social structures and technology but theirs is limited.
This is the first book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Laura Bannister) and I would gladly listen to another. She has great character voices. Her soft voice gives an appropriately ominous feel to story. I hope she reads the rest of this series. Her narration helped me get immersed in the story because I was able to forget I was being read to.
There are no explicit sex scenes, or excessive violence. There is the very occasional swearing but it is integral to certain scenarios.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Serious shout out to the narrator! She brought such gentle drama to the characters with her soft voice. Completely understood the world of the "Believers" . Wonderful read/listen! Definitely recommend this to others!
Extremely suprising! This book is a hidden gem!
