And they’ve hired me to do it.But I don’t play well with authority figures, and as this city-wide manhunt escalates, I’m sure to offend more than a few politicians and cops.But none of that matters.Because the Necrolord has killed too many people already. And I need to … people already. And I need to make her pay.

In book four, Kat’s battle with the Necrolord steps up a level when she is hired by the Council to lead a team of police and monster hunters to hunt down the Necrolord. After multiple skirmishes and encounters, Kat finally challenges the Necrolord’s Marshall to a duel in an attempt to get the Necrolord to reveal herself.
Quote: “Those who try to understand evil can’t help but become a little evil themselves. And those who slay monsters risk becoming the very monsters they have slain.”
Hard to put the book down, excellent story and characters. It is getting hotter for Kat in the game of hide and seek plus the obstacles she has to overcome. Emotions and relationship are complex and captivating slowly exposing what is really going on.
Received this book free from the author and decided to review it.
Our heroine, Kat, continues to develop and grow, this time as a leader and the hassles that go with that, and unfortunately, being a young woman. Despite hardships, she perseveres and we meet some new people and learn more about other people and entities. All that said, this to me was the darkest of the books so far and I was a little unhappy with the events at the end (no spoilers). Still, I enjoyed the book overall, as I have the series, and will be looking for the next one to be released.
Getting better and better.
These stories just keep getting better and better! We find in this story that are heroine is getting pulled in more directions and she try’s to get done what been asked of her. We get to find out about those close to her and other that will have you wondering what’s going on? This storyline will pull you in and keep you reading until that end but then has you wanting the next book! I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
This one I really could not put down!!! Everything you think you may know is probably wrong!!! Kat is again looking for the necrolord but this time has the backing of the council. The necrolord toys with Kat all while Kat wrestles with feeling for Colin and what they mean. It only took me a day to read this book and I can’t wait to start the next one!!
Who are the true monsters? As Kat is growing in her abilities, understanding, and competency, the monsters are growing as well. Actually, there are just new types of monsters which cause even more problems, such as trying to figure out who the bad guys really are. Suddenly good guys show their true colors, and the bad guys (monsters) show their honesty and compassion? In other words, Kat’s entire world is changing. Oh, and Kat has a boyfriend…Kat has a Boyfriend, KAT HAS A BOYFRIEND!!!
I absolutely adore this series! There is action, murders, incredible monsters, love interests, friends, laughter, and some incredible world building. I have been hooked from the very beginning, and the stories just keep getting better!
I received an ARC of the book, but I have every intention of purchasing so I can keep the entire library to read again.
I deeply adore Kat Drummond, the monster-hunting kick-a** heroine of Nicholas Woode-Smith’s fantastic series of the Sabe name. I vastly enjoyed the first tee we o books (each separately reviewed) and then found myself addictively reading through the next three, Necrolord (Book 4), Darkness Beckons (Book 5) and Lost Huntress (Book 6). Oh Dear Lord were these books superb. They start with the Necrolord going all out and killing countless innocents. What Kat does them is freakin’ epic, in a binge-worthy (trust me, we are taking much of a holiday day off plus all-nighter) tale full of thrills, action, conspiracies and everything else you could ask for. A totally fun set of books that were each superbly written and with a great plot, and all of which benefited from the super cast and perfect world-building created for this series. A wild roller-coaster of fun. Definitely recommended.
This series just gets better and better. In this book we are seeing our heroine, Kat, at her most vulnerable. She is trying to cement her personal relationship with Colin and doing the job she is hired for. Andy – the one she almost dated – is sending the most unsettling messages, even though he is dating her best friend Trudy. The Necrolord is back – with a vengeance – creating havoc all over the city at a seemingly non-ending pace.
“If I don’t fight, I lose everything.”
Our heroine is getting more mature and very skilled. It may be the hardest monster hunting for her.
A surprising turnover had me tingling all over, but I’m divided between Kat’s choice. A hard, tough monster hunter with a heart of gold and very shy and sensitive underneath that hard boiled facade, this may be a discovery to accept and not be afraid of loving and being loved. I’m more and more impressed with each new installment! The world building is fabulous, with such a great diversity of characters, each with their own quirks and personalities that complement with Kat, they bring out the human and emotional side of her, contribute to her sanity and mental wellbeing. The monsters and villains are unique, a characteristic that the author has put into so much admirable effort to reflect the dark side of mankind, but also the light that still burns inside us, no matter what adversities and adversaries we confront with everyday. A stunning ending! A very thought provoking and captivating series I highly recommend. Looking forward to reading Darkness Beckons #5.
Necrolord, fourth book in the Kat Drummond series is filled with twists and turns that will keep you up well into the night finishing this suspense-filled, action-packed novel. The more we learn about Kat and the people closest to her, the more we want to see how her continuing struggles, perils and experiences will affect her. Necrolord does leave us with a cliffhanger, which I usually do not like, but, in this case, oh WOW!!!! I am looking forward to the next novel in this great urban fantasy series.
I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
Kat takes charge in this fast-paced adventure that will leave you wanting more
This story was intense. Once I started reading, I couldn’t put the book down. The characters evolve in every book. Kat is learning about life. She is ditching classes and fighting the undead. There is a lot of action and drama. I felt like I was there and watching everything as it happened. The book seems that real. This book has many surprises. It is not a book that you can predict what will happen next. Kat is hunting monsters and monsters are hunting her. She is tough but has a sensitive side. Kat is a very likable person who speaks her mind. I recommend this book.
