Necromancy the Musical by Debbie Hibbert – Review by Santana Hicks

Necromancy the Musical by Debbie Hibbert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am going to be completely honest, I did not read the synopsis or anything for this book. I saw the title alone and said yes please! I had no idea what to expect and that alone was exciting. This book was amazing. There was magic and darkness with a hint of comedy and romance. The author did amazingly introducing how CeCe’s magic is done. I really liked how she had to summon from the moon using different tools and didn’t just raise her hands like in other stories with necromancy in it. I also liked how even though it was a supernatural story with some dark themes, the main character inserted humor in some situations. CeCe was a shy, awkward geek who constantly compared herself to others not seeing how wonderful she is.

You follow a teenage girl by the name of CeCe. She has necromancy magic and usually helps her detective father solve murders by talking to the dead. One night she enters the morgue like usual but this time is unable to find out what killed the latest victim. The next day she heads to Drama camp with her best friend, putting the necromancy aside. Unfortunately, life had a different plan. Weird things start happening to CeCe. Someone keeps contacting her and saying they want her magic. Her dreams have turned into visions of the next victim of a now serial killer who also dabbles in magic.

Then there is Zach. A boy forced upon her by her best friend, a cute boy at that. CeCe had no intentions of liking this boy but for some odd reason, the drama camp keeps putting them together. Now CeCe has to juggle her magic, a love interest, her classes and performances at camp, plus try to solve who is coming after her and murdering people. Can a geeky teenage necromancer figure it all out or will she crumble under the pressure?
