He'll die without touch.

As a necromancer, Shae loses a little more of himself every time he uses his magic. Always cold, always touch-starved, the only thing that helps is human contact. But that's hard to come by when those same dark powers scare everyone away from him. Nobody likes a necromancer.

Especially a paladin of the Radiant Order.

Arthur's still bitter and broken after his last lover stabbed him in the back, and the last thing he needs is another brush with evil. When he agrees to escort the wandering necromancer north, he's just doing a public service. But he never expected Shae to be so clingy. Or distractingly attractive.

Shae has never felt an aura as warm and safe as Arthur's. He craves the man's touch—and more. But everyone he's ever known has left him, and it's just a matter of time before Arthur leaves him too.

Assuming the soul-stealing monsters don't kill them first.

Contains mature themes.

I enjoyed getting to know the characters. The story had some interesting moments. The narrator's voice was pleasant, but he tended to have excessively long pauses. The story and the narration could both use a little bit of polish, but they were engaging enough that I will try more of their works.

Good story. Good narration

This was a sweet and exciting fantasy romance that I enjoyed, though I find myself wishing I'd read it ranter than listened to this narration. Mr. Rubio made it difficult for me to stay engaged because of his frequent pauses and intakes of breath. The writing and character development were solid. I would have appreciated more details about Shea's backstory. I like the author enough to perhaps read the other books in this series.

Sweet and entertaining

I’ve enjoyed all of the Tavia Lark books I’ve read so far. This book was no exception! Shae and Arthur were opposites that worked so well together. So glad to see they got their happy ending. The narration was dry good too!

I love Tavia Lark Books!

Once the narrator found his footing, I think he did a great job! The story is sweet and fun.

I loved the narration.

I loved the characters. The narrator did a good job. I was distracted by the long pauses, an issue with editing. I look forward to book 2, and other books by this author.

Excellent story

I love this book. The themes of feeling unwanted, abandonment issues, and first love all made me teary. The story is fantastic. I just wish it didn’t sound like the narrator did this all in one take and said “I don’t do second takes- it’s good enough.” This book would’ve benefitted greatly from a better storyteller, like Greg Boudreaux or Gary Furlong, or many, many others who don’t pause for ridiculously long periods between paragraphs.

Great story, poor performance

I've been listening to a lot of M/M romance lately and this was a nice change of pace. I liked the fantasy elements, and the story overall.

The fantasy stuff really drives the plot, but there were times when I wished the author went into more detail about the magic. I wouldn't say it was lacking in detail in really detrimental way, but I did wish it had more.

I enjoyed the characters and their budding relationship. They both have interesting backgrounds and motivations,

It's a little spicy but nothing too crazy, it's more characters/story driven.

I will be checking out the other books in the series, now aim invested!

Great journey

The Necromancer’s Light is decently entertaining. The world building is strong, even though it does just feel like re-skinned dnd most of the time. I really enjoyed Shay’s story. Arthur’s less so.

The narration was alright. Cringey at certain points. He really shines with Shay, and not many other characters.

Decently enjoyable, but I’m glad I didn’t spend any money on it

Nothing groundbreaking, but entertaining

While I really enjoyed this book (the characters, the world building, etc.) I almost couldn’t get past the narration. While the voicing for the characters was excellent, the narrator took insane pauses at the strangest ties. While I normally listen to audiobooks at 1.15 speed or slower, I had to listen to this at 1.3 speed and even that felt slow and the strange pauses were still glaringly obvious. I don’t know if poor audio equipment was used for the recording but I could hear every intake of breath, every swallow, every smacking of lips and it was so distracting!!! Kai Rubio gave the characters distinct voices but everything else about the audio was hugely frustrating. I will finish this series via kindle or other media, not through audible.

Good Story, Poor Narration

the performer takes an inordinate number of pauses which is distracting but dosent wreck the overall performance. the story could be a bit longer to enhance the relationship building and have additional plot points. the spicy scenes are fairly tame. overall glad I listened and will probably continue the series later but doubt I'll ever need to relisten.

pretty good
