He just wants his body back from the creep who stole it, and who is apparently using it to commit gruesome murders. But Ethan Lance isn’t interested in saying hello to the afterlife, because he’s not dead. She uses her necromantic powers to put them to rest instead. Selene Vanream has no interest in raising the dead. Unfortunately, finding out who is behind the evens unfolding around them may require the stubbornly independent Angel to rely on local elder vampire, Simeon, whose attention he has been studiously trying to avoid. But when his brother’s boyfriend gets mixed up in something ugly it doesn’t take Angel long to realize that someone is trying to jump-start the war, and drag he and his brother into the middle. And Angelus Salvatore has worked damn hard to keep it that way! The undead slaughtered his family, and he’s not prepared to let the Blood Wars begin again. Technically, no one got murdered to kick off this plot. Their best bet is to work together, but they’re from opposite sides of a very long family feud and the attraction between them isn’t just impossible, it’s dangerous. Leger needs help breaking the enchantment that binds him. She needs help getting to safety, and David St. Heroine Callista Hawthorne has finally escaped her half-brother, who has been forcing her to use her necromantic gift to line his pockets. The second in a Regency romance trilogy featuring the shapeshifter heroes of the Imnada Brotherhood, Shadow’s Curse is right up there with Death’s Dancer on the must read end of this list. It does not matter how obscure or niche the romance category I’m working with, I will always find a way to include at least one historical romance.

We’re seeing a theme here, aren’t we? Attraction, danger, and death magic-now with demons! Shadow’s Curse by Alexa Egan Including Ewan March, a demon warrior who Ruby finds herself unwillingly attracted to despite her distrust for demons and the mounting danger that surrounds them. Zombies abound, and demons are running loose. The first in a trilogy of novels following the story of necromancer Professor Ruby Montagne as she gets tangled up in a supernatural murder and is forced to confront her suppressed abilities to call the dead. Attraction, danger, death magic, and it’s set in Prague-what more could you want? The Necromancer’s Seduction by Mimi Sebastian The premise sounds amazing, at 320 pages it’s a great length for a romance, and if that isn’t enough pages for you, there’s a sequel ( Dancer’s Flame)! Living in the dark aftermath of a historical event known as the godswar, heroine Isela Vogel uses her abilities as a dancer to help her clients, even the infuriating necromancer who needs her help to find a killer. This is one of my most anticipated reads from the list. Via GIPHY Necromancer Romance Novels Death’s Dancer by Jasmine Silvera
