Rebecca McNutt generously provided an ecopy of Necromancy Cottage for review.
Basically an occult fantasy, Necromancy Cottage hooked me from the start. A runaway teen goes to the most out of the way spot she could find to stay hidden. She gets caught up in a bizarre world of black magic. She finds herself in a situation where she doesn't know whom to trust or where to turn.
Naturally, the situation is resolved (wouldn't be much of a story if it wasn't right?) ahh, but not in a predictable manner. I really enjoyed the ending, and many thanks to Ms. McNutt for providing a detailed epilogue. Epilogues are often a grossly overlooked part of the story.
The story is tight, but not minimalist. The authoress is very adept at descriptive writing. I've read a few of Ms. McNutt's works and she keeps getting better.
An aside, our intrepid authoress is currently a full-time student pursuing a legal career. A laudable goal to be sure, but as a fan of her work, I truly hope she does not abandon what appears to be a successful writing career. Just sayin'.
Anyway Necromancy Cottage is well worth your time investment, I think you will enjoy it, maybe even as much as I did (that's a lot). Enjoy!
Mike
