    About this audiobook

    Grier Woolworth spends her nights weaving spooky tales of lost souls and tragedies for tourists on the streets of downtown Savannah. Hoop skirt and parasol aside, it's not a bad gig. The pay is crap, but the tips keep the lights on in her personal haunted mansion and her pantry stocked with ramen.

    Life is about as normal as it gets for an ex-necromancer hiding among humans. Until the society that excommunicated Grier offers her a second chance at being more than ordinary. Too bad no one warned her the trouble with being extraordinary is it can get you killed.

    Contains mature themes.

      How to Save an Undead Life by Hailey EdwardsThe Beginner’s Guide to Necromancy series book 1. Urban fantasy. Grier is an ex-necromancer hiding out in Savannah giving ghost tours. Her current issues include a sentient house and a vampire calling to her. Squirt - favorite pet name.Slammed doors, lights going on and off, locks opening or locking - a sentient house that expresses an opinion. Daily and often. Sigils - a form of magic. Reads a bit like New Adult - Greer is 21 and has spent years in a magical prison of sorts so is just learning her abilities and world. And world building - lacking initially but gets easier to understand as the book progresses and gets more interesting. Cliff hanger. Definitely the beginning of a series with lots of potential

      I just randomly found this on Kindle Unlimited. This first foray left me kind of "meh", but I kept with it and at the end I was glad I did. Wooly is awesome. You don't see a whole lot about the zombie parakeet. Grier is a little bit annoying, more specifically the way she is obsessed with Boaz. All in all I enjoyed it and am moving on to the 2nd book.

      Good read

      This is a great start to the series. I enjoyed the story and the characters. There are so many unanswered questions, I can’t wait for the next book in the series to come out.

      I picked up HOW TO SAVE AN UNDEAD LIFE because I was in a rut of not wanting to read anything I had and not sure what I wanted to read next and I am beyond glad that I did. I LOVED it. It was nothing like I expected and everything I didn't know I wanted. Grier has not had it easy and it looks like easy is not a word that is in her future. I don't know how she kept it together and at times she has a hard time doing it, but she was SO strong when most would have given up and it endeared me to her from the start. The necromancer part of the book is different and surprisingly enjoyable. Instead of dealing with zombies, necromancers turn those with enough money into vampires. It was a nice surprise. The world was also really enjoyable. There is different hierarchies of both necromancers and vampires and although we don't get as much information about this as I would have liked, we do get enough information so that we understand what the differences between the different groups are. I really can't explain how much I enjoyed this book enough. The characters were fantastic, the mystery was mysterious, there's a bit of romance, I loved the twists and turns and didn't expect a lot of them. I enjoyed learning about Grier's past and I'm rooting for her future. I seriously just loved everything about HOW TO SAVE AN UNDEAD LIFE and I'm beyond excited to read more.* This book was provided free of charge from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

      This is great paranormal fun!A necromancer that is jailed for a crime she didn't commit, now is released...but why now? By who? What happened to cause the release? Now a powerful vampire clan wants her before others find out about her. Oh, and the house she grew up in has a mind of its own, people would call it haunted. This is a fresh fantasy that is interesting, exciting, and full of great characters. Really liked it. Would've given it 5 stars but it just kinda stopped. But I liked it enough I will be getting the next book!
