Synopsis (Goodreads):
The antebellum mansion sits isolated in the overgrown countryside like a forgotten temple. Within it lie the dark, twisting paths of a private library possessing secrets from across the ages. The collection of ancient and medieval occult manuscripts tell of conjuring spirits and raising the dead, of making contact with supernatural realms and beings usually forbidden to living mortals.

The house's recently deceased owner was a reclusive former professor who transformed his home into a great library, but his desire for hidden knowledge and arcane power may have led him into madness, even death.

Disturbing specters now haunt the new occupants of the house, who turn to paranormal investigator Ellie Jordan for help. Ellie must unravel the mysteries of the occult library before she can banish its ghosts and make the house safe again for the living.
Thoughts on The Necromancer's Library: It's GOOD to be back in Ellie's crazy, dangerous world. She's vanquished her own demons and she's pretty level-headed when it comes to trying to help those who need it most. Case in point: Cherise and Aria's situation.

A house where all signs point to it being haunted. A library with a questionable (and sometimes downright icky) collection. Things that go bump in the night. Ellie isn't the type to walk away from someone who needs her help even if they're not thrilled her help is needed in the first place. So she convinces Cherise to let her and Stacy take a look at things and, well, ghosts.

Ghosts and cursed objects and a whole lot of craziness the type of which Ellie and Stacy are well equipped to handle.

I always get a kick out of Ellie's straightforward approach to ghost hunting. There's a lot of research and those middle of the night encounters. There are questionable snacks (thanks, Stacy) and helping put old wrongs to right. Exciting stuff always happens when Ellie takes a case and that is 100% what I'm here for. *thumbs up*
