"The Banshee and the Wraith. They have the power to save the world--or destroy it. In a place unlike any other, two brothers set off an ancient, epic, and never-ending battle. This world is controlled by the Necromancers and Reapers--one side pulls people back up through the earth, and the other cuts them down again. One ancient family, the Laheys, have been tasked again and again with keeping the balance between the worlds. And Nyx Lahey, born a Necromancer, but raised a Reaper, is on the front lines. Lately, though, Nyx is wrestling with her identity as she's thrown into an adventure filled with prophecies and the kind of danger you can cut down with a giant scythe. While chasing a creature that's killing young girls, Nyx runs headlong--and gun drawn--into Erebus Salem. A hunter who has the ability to turn into a raven to escape danger, Erebus also harbors a secret: he's not alive. He lives in Dewmort, a world in-between, where the souls of the dead reside, and where memory is all but erased. With no memory of who he is, his only connection to the past is a locket which ends up in Nyx's hands. Determined to get it back, Erebus and his friends set watch on the Laheys, but they aren't the only ones. Other beings are lurking in the shadows. They know the truth about Erebus and Nyx. They know that the pair are the Relics, the only two powerful beings in the world capable of taking down the greatest evils known to any kind. Soon, Nyx and Erebus become the hunted, and must try and escape the evil plans of the war lord, Bellum. Bellum wants the Relics for his own purposes. He needs them to raise his father, the original Necromancer, Neco. With his father by his side, Bellum believes he can rule the world--all of them--and destroy the Reapers once and for all. Can Nyx and Erebus master their new found powers, and even if they do, can they survive?" -- Jacket flap. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This world is much different from our own, although it looks very similar. It harbors all kinds of supernatural beings. From zombies to fairies, reapers and necromancers have an ancient rivalry. And Nyx is just doing her job, protecting people by essentially killing rogue necromancers and their pets. That is, until out on a mission, she meets a young man named Erebus.
He's unlike anything she's ever met, in a good way, mostly. But things go so much deeper than it seems at first glance. They're fated for so much more life than they're living, which is kind of funny considering Erebus's predicament.
This book completely captured me from the moment I picked it up. I'm a huge sucker for supernatural books like these, and this one is such a good example. Gory and scary in all the right places. I got to know the characters well enough by the end of the book that I felt upset when I had to move onto something else.
All the lore, all the backstory, was really well planned out and laid out nicely for you to absorb. Everything was really well written and described as well. I had no problem getting right into it and speeding through. Definitely check it out if you get the chance! ( )
