I LOVE THIS QUOTE! HERE IS GRACE'S REVIEW:
The Necromancer's Dance
The Beacon Hill Sorcerer 1
by: SJ Himes
reviewed by: Grace
In a world where magic is real and evil walks amongst humanity, a young sorcerer is beset upon by enemies, both old and new. Angelus Salvatore is the only necromancer in all of Boston, and his name is whispered warily by the undead and fellow sorcerers alike. He and his brother Isaac are the lone survivors of an attack by an army of the undead, in which Angel used a spell so powerful it forever marked his place in history. Now, years later, Angel struggles to balance his career as a teacher of the higher magical arts, his role as big brother, and a tenuous relationship with an Elder vampire from the local clan. When his brother's boyfriend is used as a pawn in a mysterious plot to draw Angel out, Angel is once again drawn back into the old hostilities that fueled the Blood Wars and led to his family's death.
Leaning on others for help is something Angel cannot do, and while he searches for clues into who may be targeting him and his brother, Angel finds his heart steadily growing occupied with Simeon, Elder and vampire. Dealing with death magic and vampires on a daily basis may leave Angel jaded when it comes to life and staying that way, but the more time he spends fending off the ancient vampire's attention and affections, the more he realizes he wants to give in.
Can Angel find out who wants him dead, and keep his heart safe in the process? How can he fall for a vampire, when his whole family was torn apart by an army of the undead?
Death stalks the streets of Boston's historic Beacon Hill....and there is no one more suited to battle against death than a necromancer.

The Necromancer’s Dance is the first in a new series by SJ Himes and this is my first foray into Himes’ work. I have to say, I love it!
Angel is living with the results of his past every day, being one of the two sole surviving Salvatore family members after the Blood Wars. Having decimated the army marching against his family so many years ago, he works every day just to keep the memories at bay and keep what’s left of his family safe.
Simeon, one of the Elders to the Master of the City of Boston, bides his time and makes his move for the man he loves when Angel needs it most. But can Angel really let go of his guilt and pain and, when it counts, will Simeon choose Angel over his Master?
There are so many wonderful characters and such history, and both are brought to vivid life. I love the way the story unfolds and how Angel must learn to rely on himself and Simeon through the turmoil. While the interaction of Angel and his younger brother Isaac makes my heart ache, the passionate blend of snark and sweetness from Angel and Simeon is perfect (and HOT, HOT, HOT).
There are so many different relationships in this book and I relished getting to know Angel through the interactions with the people in his world, whether they are friend or foe. This new world within Boston is definitely one to watch and I can’t wait for the next adventure life throws at Angel and Simeon.
It definitely gets the 5 Eroch Rating. This rating is for the completely unselfish way Angel weaves his magic without realizing the full weight of what he is giving to others.
