Ward Against Death was an unexpected but welcome breath of fresh air in comparison with other paranormal romances. Actually, if I have to be accurate, I would call this book a (urban?) fantasy, although the hero does have a love interest in the heroine. 
 Let me start by telling how much I liked Ward. He put the freshness in the aforementioned breath of air. He was so different from the usual stereotyped hero, so clumsy, awkward and adorably naive, and yet so strong and faithful. It was truly impossible not to love him, whereas it took me some time to understand and like Celia, whose strength, both physical and psychological, often hid her true nature and wishes. 
 The novel was fast-paced, very smooth and captivating and I was completely taken by the protagonists' adventures and the ending left me quite satisfied and needing more. I'm really looking forward to read the next books in the Chronicles of a Reluctant Necromancer and I'm sure I won't be disappointed.
