Though my tendency is to avoid serials, it seems like lately I just can’t help myself. This is a spinoff from Drake’s Lords of Discord, a series I haven’t read and thankfully, I wasn’t lost.

Per the blurb, necromancer Skylar has a crush on his neighbor, an antisocial grump who he’s been pining over for forever.

One night, at a local vampire bar, Sky spots his crush having a bit of trouble, and he sees this as the perfect opportunity to help Nolan out and to get to know him better. Seems like Nolan’s wayward brother is in a heap of trouble, and Sky is just the witch to help Nolan navigate his new normal - that vampires, witches, shifters exist!

Just know that Sky is a wonderful breath of fresh air, the complete opposite of what you’d think of as a Necromancer. He is just sunshine and optimism all the time and of course, Nolan can’t help but be charmed. I suspect you will be too as these two flirt their way across shady vampires and dangerous situations.

I liked this enough to spur me to check out the next installment!
