Prior to reading this, I wasn't really sure what to expect. The cover isn't something that would normally catch my eye, and I'm not very familiar with historical fiction. However, the necromancy concept is one I frequently enjoy exploring, so I decided to give this one a go. As you can see, it worked out well :)I've read a lot of paranormal romance, and I have a heart for gothic fantasy, but I've never read something quite like this before. If you are looking for something original, Larkspur will not disappoint. The key to great fiction is tension, suspense, mystery, and well-drawn characters--all of which Larkspur provides in spades. I like my fiction dark, and V.M. Jaskiernia knows how to deliver. Her approach to necromancy was fresh and alluring, the story was fluid, and I was full immersed in the world V.M. created from the first page.I will definitely consider reading more of her work.
