The Necromancer's Dilemma

4 stars for the storytelling, 2 stars for the awkward sentence structure and grammatical errors. And maybe one more ding for always referring to Angel's dragon familiar as a “wee beastie.” Are we in Boston or Scotland?

I love the world that Himes is creating, and I'm always a fan of series in which the two MCs have a solid relationship that continues to evolve (much preferable to having a manufactured crisis in each installment that keeps the couple apart). But her writing needs some serious copy editing; the mistakes pulled me right out of the story numerous times.

I'll keep reading the series because I want to see what happens to Angel and Simeon, and to a lesser extent Isaac and David (neither young man seems capable of carrying a book by himself yet). Judging from the numerous 4 and 5 star reviews, I'm very much in the minority, so YMMV if you are less of a grammar snob than I am.
