Review - Geoffrey the Very Strange by Angel Martinez

My rating: * * * *

Aspic recently moved to Merseton where he works in the local herb shop. He’s suddenly alone at the counter one day when Geoffrey the Very Strange walks in the door. That’s not his real full name, but it’s what everyone in the village calls him. Geoffrey may be odd, with his attempt to practice necromancy without blood magic, but there’s something Aspic finds endearing about the young man. Geoffrey also finds the pink-haired half demon alarmingly attractive, but necromancers don’t have friends, let alone boyfriends.
