The Necromancer's Bride
When I was a child he brought me back from the brink of death. Since that day I have borne his mark, a black star in the center of my left palm. The villagers say it brands me as evil. I think it means something far worse. It marks me as his. The disease that nearly killed me has returned to the village and children are dying. I’m the only one who dares to climb the mountain and learn his secrets. In exchange I’m to clean his house and help with his strange experiments, but Meremon wants more. He wants me. And it isn’t long before I discover that his demands are as twisted as his experiments. This story is a dark fantasy romance with scenes of non-consent and dubious consent. Additionally, Meremon is a necromancer and enjoys unusual things. Some sex scenes might be strange or creepy for some readers. As always with Brianna Hale books, no cheating, and a guaranteed happily ever after. THE NECROMANCER’S BRIDE is a novella of 16,000 words.

This book was all sorts of freaky awesome, and very different from anything else I have read. It was well written. Atmospheric. Creepy. Sexy. Sweet. Well paced. Original. All wrapped up in a super sweet ending. I kind of wish it had a been a full-length novel...

This was a short story that was unique in every way! I wouldn’t even know how to explain it, but to say that it is kind of like a paranormal fairytale with kink! Lol!
If you are looking for a fast read that is different, then this is your book!

4.5 Stars!
As a little girl, Rhona became gravely ill until her father requests help from Meremon, the local village’s Necromancer. Despite her pleas, Rhona is saved and she forms a unique bond with the mysterious cloaked man. As such, she is treated as an outcast until years later when Rhona selflessly decides to approach Meremon in an effort to rid the village of impending deaths.
While reunited with Meremon, he seems the same yet Rhona has grown into a woman and the pulls she feels toward him intensifies. During this time, Meremon and Rhona become acquainted and she learns about his circumstances. However, Meremon being the ever resourceful sorcerer, is prepared to please his Rhona as much as he can and he hopes she will accept him for what he is. These moments offer kinky hot scenes but also tender and kind sentiments.
Told from Rhona's POV, the narration is concise and sets a fantasy landscape in a world where superstitions persist and sorcery remains alluringly taboo. I must say, the magical elements definitely enhanced this story and made the kinkery quite hot and memorable. I like how Rhona is principled and a kind soul. As for Meremon, he melted my heart from the beginning and that feeling just deepened at the end.
The Necromancer’s Bride is a romance about unconditional acceptance and love. I could have read more as this novella’s theme is enchantingly intriguing and perfectly crafted by Brianna Hale.

So this one had some freaky mojo weird-ass stuff going on with it.
And if you dig anything eccentric and out of the ordinary then this is probably gonna be the read for you.
I myself wasn't sure either way at one point but after not being able to get this tale out of my head I upped my rating slightly as anything that gets you pondering after the fact has done its job and then some.
This had such a fascinating and very different premise: so very imaginative and original.
In my opinion, it was the actual length here that let the side down and if the author was ever to extend this into a full-length novel then this definitely has the potential to be absolutely epic indeed.
This is and was an extremely ingenious endeavour.
I voluntary reviewed an Arc of The Necromancer's Bride
All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Genre: Fantasy Romance
Type: Standalone novella
POV: First Person - Female
Rating:
Since she was a child, Rhona had been shunned by the villagers. She became an outcast when the elusive necromancer Meremon saved her from a deadly disease and marked her permanently. Years later when the disease came back and infected children in the village, it was up to her to seek for his help and save her people.
Meremon was a dark and mysterious character. I love how he gave out sinister persona but had a completely different side that not everyone was privileged to see.
Rhona was young and innocent, but also brave and selfless. I like how she was not afraid to explore her newfound sexuality.
This book was an absolute delight! I jumped in thinking it would be a dark and mysterious story, but turned out to be freakishly sexy. The sex scenes were highly imaginative, disturbingly entertaining and rightfully kinky. I understand not everyone could appreciate the eccentricity of such scenes but they were right up my alley lol!
The Necromancer’s Bride is a tale of love and acceptance. It would appeal to readers looking for a quick sexy story with a hint of twisted fairytale.
Note:
I really like Filax. I wanted more of certain scenes with him haha!

Why must he be so loving as he’s being so strange? I have wanted this so badly and it’s not fair that the tenderness I’ve craved comes from a man like him. I’m too weak not to be moved by him.
Meremon was a dark and mysterious character. I love how he gave out sinister persona but had a completely different side that not everyone was privileged to see.
He knows I’m dirty, that I’m wrong. Maybe he didn’t even give me the mark. Maybe it’s just a result of my own badness.
Rhona was young and innocent, but also brave and selfless. I like how she was not afraid to explore her newfound sexuality.
Meremon is the very devil and yet he makes me feel like heaven.

3.5*
Okay so this book is a bit freaky and creepy.
The first chapter was completely fabulous. I was cursing myself for starting it at midnight. How many times have I thought I’ll just read the first chapter before sleep?
Now I have to say I didn’t realise going in that this was a short story (66 pages). It certainly didn’t start like one.
I liked the premise of this book and the characters. It reminded me a little of Beauty and the Beast on occasion.
Could I have lived without the freaky bits?
Yes definitely. But I can see that they kinda fit in with his character. Still the leech made me squirm and not in a good way.
My 3* rating may seem harsh and I reserve the right to change it in the future. It’s a compelling read. I would have liked more. I think it would have made a great full length story.

Wtf did I just read? And kinda liked? I'm filing this under Halloween spirit read. If you get creeped out or disturbed easy, stay away from this one. I didn't find it scary in any way but it is disturbing. It's a short dark read and it has Necromancer in the title. I don't think I need to say more.

A mysterious Necromancer has saved a girl when she was a kid from magical poisoning.
Many years later the children of the village are sick again. The girl will seek the Necromancer in order to save them.
But she doesn't know that she was promised to him as a bride.
For a short story, it definetely has many strong images and scenes. I don't think I will ever forget the scene with the tampon-leech. Ew...Ew...Ew...
Kinky, dark book.

All I can say is....what the fuck did I just read? I know it involved vibrating slime, dead hands and leeches shoved in places you really don't want leeches.....oh God, the imagery. Just no. No. The pictures in my mind can never be removed and I now hate myself for reading this.
Just don't do it.

Holy mother of all things hot. This book was absolutely A M A Z I N G. If you have read Brianna's books before you know how good she can suck you into it and keep you reading untill the very end. Yep she does that..she put a spell on you and you are glued to the pages turning them so fast that when you get to the end you crave even more. She leaves you wanting more and more. At least that is what happens with me every time I read her books. She is brilliant.
"The Necromancer's Bride"...I loved it so much that I was a little disappointed it was a novella. I wanted more of Meremon. The things he did to her...oh god it was so hot. This book was really sensual. I loved every single part of it. This woman sure know how to make you craving her alpha males. If you still haven't read it please, please do it. I higly recommend it. I give this 5 stars and I so can't wait for her next book. I will just read anything she gives me. Love her and love love loved this book.

What in the heck did I just read 😂😂 y'all this book was weird as hell, the sex scenes were creepy, I'm not even going to contemplate the age difference, the threesome with his servant who was really himself??? Ummm yeah this was definitely different....it was however a quick, steamy, no outside drama kinda read. It was interesting but yeah the sexy times and his basically binding her with magic just took me over lol.... interesting enough to rate 1.5*

Very short, somewhat sweet and downright creepy, The Necromancer’s Bride won’t be suitable for everyone. It is comprised of twisted fairytale with classic horror to create this eerie narrative that is atmospheric and compelling.
I wish we experienced more Meremon and Rhona.
However, in saying that, despite the length this novella has good pacing and character development. Perfect for Halloween!

It’s been a while since I read a dark fantasy romance like this and I have to say it was the best!
I was not expecting this story and I’m happily surprised with it. It was creepy, but also entertaining and interesting. It kept me on edge. It had some weird stuff but the author gives the reader some warning about that so it’s not really a surprise when you encounter some of it. And, despite all the weird stuff, the story was also hot and sweet.
It was just amazing! Wish I could read a full length on this one.
I’ll definitely check her other books.

This book should be renamed "How to Traumatize People in 20 Pages." Now, I know I'm not completely innocent in this. There were whisperings in the reviews of strange and unholy things that should not belong in beloved romance novels. This of course intrigued me, and I became a willing victim of my own curiosity.
I do this all the time. "Hmm, I see mentions of tentacles, rhubarb jam, and a rubber duck. There's no way this can hurt me to read it." I never learn 🥲.
This is the fantastic story of Rhona and Meremon. The setting takes place in a fantasy medievel-esque setting, where dark magic abounds and contaminates the land, resulting in poor villagers coming down with the plague. Rhona was originally supposed to die of the plague, but had it magically cured by the friendly town necromancer, Meremon. She gets marked by him, and the story flashes to years later. Rhona is an outcast due to the mark, and the plague is getting worse. She decides to do something about it by approaching Meremon...
Our hero, Meremon:
This guy is probably how porn companies would write a necromancer. I died when the mysterious vial of goo he created when he first employed the heroine was revealed to be a slime tentacle sex toy. BRUH, HOW HORNY ARE YOU THAT THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE SPENDING ALL YOUR TIME ON WHILE VILLAGERS ARE SUCCUMBING TO THE MAGICAL BUBONIC PLAGUE. 🤣🤣💀💀
And all while Rhona is like:
Meremon is like:
Dude was the most perverted necromancer I've ever read about, considering he couldn't even physically get a boner. At least he was weirdly doting and affectionate ? 😅
Rhona, our heroine:
I'm not sure what to think about the heroine of a story about plague being named Rhona, with what's going on nowadays. All I can say is the author should get a side gig as a prophet, because this was uncomfortably accurate ☠.
Anywho. This was pretty much Rhona through most of the story:
Her reactions were a mixture of confusion and arousal. She eventually came to accept our hero's kinky fuckery and accepts his weird courtship.
Overall, I appreciated that the setting of this story was unique for romance. Dark medieval fantasy is my jam, but I hardly see that available. I guess it's also admirable the author reaaally didn't mind pushing boundaries and unique kinks, so props to the author for having the guts (and stomach) to do that. Ignoring the... unorthodox tastes of the couple, they were pretty sweet and loving.
The ending made me laugh. Hero really willing to give up his immortality so he can finally get a boner and bang his wife 🤣.
Also, I feel the need to bring up the period leech thing. I never expect to read this in my romance novels:
Meremon glances up at me. “Do not fret. It will not go so deep as to break your maidenhood.”
The last thing I’m thinking about is my maidenhood as I anticipate the enormous leech biting into my hidden flesh.
Me:
Ladies, get yourself a real man like Meremon who actually cares and does something about your period cramps. Your boy also making sure her virginity not taken by a leech creature. What a prince. 😤❤
Safety:
* Heroine is a virgin, after getting marked by hero, no village man would touch her.
* Hero is not a virgin. Says it's been a long time since he's had sex.
* No OM or OW drama.
* No cheating? Sort of? The weird faceless monster was a clone of the hero's body, and uhh he wanted them to do it? The creature's consciousness is the hero's, so I guess it's not cheating?
* LOTS OF WEIRDASS NONCON MOLESTINGS
* Heroine is probably late teens, hero is ridiculously old due to immortality.
* HEA with epilogue and pregnancy

Welcome to the eerie world Brianna Hale created for her Halloween novella, The Necromancer's Bride. The decor is dark, cold, and poverty reigns in a the village where, the children seem to be contaminated by a strange decease.
Rhona was one of these children but she was cured by the mysterious Meremon, the town's necromancer. Now the decease is back and Rhona decides to seek the Necromancer's help in order to save the infected kids. Only, what she finds is not what she expected at all. And clearly, neither did I!
I devoured this short read, captivated by the atmosphere and the Beauty and The Beast scenario.
I was also surprised by the characters' development in spite of the shortness of the book. Rhona and Meremon have enthralling personalities, she is strong and determined, and he... was something else (you'll have to read this book if you want to find out!). Let's just say that I totally succumbed to his magic tricks. *wiggle brows*.
Treat yourself with this little candy of a book, and enjoy, ladies!
I VOLUNTARILY REVIEWED AN ARC COPY OF THIS BOOK. THANK YOU!!!

In order to save her village she must stay with him and do as he ask. What she doesn't expect is everything he does to her body and how much she craves for him to do more.
Meremon has been alone for years. When the girl he saved long ago comes to him bearing his mark he knows she is his bride. She wants him to save her village and he agrees only if she stays with him until it is time for him to heal them. When she agrees he is ecstatic. He wants to show her that she belongs to him. All he wants is to please her and show her the ultimate pleasure. In very unique and creepy ways he does just that. Meremon is so amazing!!

The Necromancer's Bride had such an interesting concept, one unlike any I've read before. If you're looking for a quicky read with a good dose of sexiness and a touch of darkness (perfect for this time of year), definitely consider picking this one up!

"The necromancer has branded me with his kiss, and while my body bears his mark I know it goes deeper than that.
My soul bears it, too.”
This was my first read by this author and I liked it! This novella has good pacing and character development.
It was creepy, but also entertaining and interesting. It kept me on edge. It had some weird stuff and kinky but the author gives the reader some warning about that so it’s not really a surprise when you encounter some of it. And, despite all the weird stuff,the story was also hot and sweet.
It was just amazing! Wish I could read a full length on this one.
I’ll definitely check her other books.
"Meremon is the very devil and yet he makes me feel like heaven.”

One of the weirdest slash sickening novels I've read.
To be fair, I do love the 1st chapter because it immediately captured my attention but the following ones? Awful...I just can't handle the whole thing.
However, perhaps, if the author made this longer and added more drama and removed the strange "events" then it would've been a fascinating read.
Also, there are a lot of unanswered questions. I mean, if you're going to write a novel about a necromancer then prepare a tons of explanations.

And they live happily ever after.
I thought I had enough of dark and twisted fairy tales. I thought I had enough of Beauty and the Beast or Sleeping Beauty. But where love conquers all, there was always something new. Brianna Hale's The Necromancer's Bride was proof to that.

3.5* put the spell on me STARS!!
Review @ Midnight Romance
The Necromancer's Bride is a little Halloween treat from Brianna Hale. As novella for quick read. Miss Hale succeeded to capture dark fantasy vibe mixed with weirdly erotic romance. My first impression when I read is how eerie it could take. I'm already in love with the premise.
Necromancer is not a healer but Meremon is their only hope. Rhona's parents desperate to safe her but Meremon mark her and now, the whole village hate her. When the plague came again, Rhona must save her siblings and brave herself once again to meet the necromancer.
Meremon is really interesting person. There's not much information about him at first, but Rhona is a curious little thing and Meremon slowly open himself. The chemistry between them come later and I admired Meremon's creativity when involve with sex. He's really one of a kind. Sadly, Rhona didn't really WOW me. She's so innocent and ended up just okay.
The Necromancer's Bride surprisingly like Beauty & the Beast. Darker version, of course. It's not scary or creepy... just the right amount of Meremon and his peculiar things. Oh, man... I wish it was longer :(

I hate that I love how he makes me feel. That his sweet cruelty is more tender than anything I've felt my whole life.

Skfklclvpvp a big motherfucking LOL
I thought "necro+romance+er", is like death-lover, similar but different from necrophilia. How can I know that necromancer means magician?
The blurb misled me -_-.
There is death hands between legs etc but... Don't know. Some subjects irritated me but not bc of it was dark, it was
AND the thing I do not understand either is why he didn't stalk her. They met when she was ill and a child, but years after the sickness come again to town, she gone to him to ask for help.
I really don't like when authors writing dark things insinuating but it was not what it means. For exp he said "been so long being with a living woman" and you think he is really necrophilist but actually he intercorse by that flesh-body, or dat's wat I understand. You go hard or you go home.
The end was rushed, and it was Disney style.
Thrust me, being necromancer and and the mark on her hand and the way he give her life back was good. You guys think good things but ruining them by keeping it short or trying to make them different. if u can't write gothic, don't try to.
This can be big motherfucking omg even if you still end it like Disney.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book when I started it. At 16k words, I really didn't know how she was going to write this and have the whole story in there. While there were times I definitely would have loved more, this book was AMAZING.
I won't give spoilers but the way he loves her is some weird freaky shit that she doesn't understand at first. While there is times of non-consent its not scary, painful, or done with malice. It's all done out of love and the driving need to make her happy, a situation they work through and fix.
Hands down, this is my favorite book from 2018 so far and I really can't imagine anything topping this. I really hope she writes more like this story, or turns it into a full length novel because I don't want to ever stop reading about them. GIVE ME MORE!
