Hmmm, I don't know, something is just off for me to really like this story. Based on the blurb and how the story is going, it is quite fast-paced. With Cèsar wake up and found a dead woman in his bathtub, to him becoming the main suspect, to him running to find a necromancer in order to clear his name ... it should've been a story that easily be a hit for me.
But it didn't. And I couldn't really pin-point why.
Maybe it was the chemistry with the writing? It was okay, I liked Cèsar enough as a character (though the whole interest with Isobel and her kissing him was a bit instant for me to enjoy) although he seemed to be too easily caught or fooled ... I did like Cèsar's brother, Domingo, a way more! Still not sure about this whole OPA factor, I just didn't get the feel much.
I'm still thinking about the sequel. Maybe I'll check but not right away
