Brains over Brawn: Putting the Romance in NecRomancy

At thirty-six, Elara has officially reached her limit with the local dating scene. Between ghosting, lackluster chemistry, and men who cannot handle her magical heritage, the modern Folk witch decides to take matters into her own hands—literally. Why settle for a living disaster when she can curate the perfect partner from the cold, quiet earth of the local cemetery?

This paranormal romance takes a deliciously dark turn as Elara attempts to master the art of necromancy to craft her ideal beau. But raising the dead is far from an exact science. As she navigates the blurred lines between life and the afterlife, she discovers that her resurrected companion comes with a lot more personality, baggage, and lingering secrets than she bargained for. It is a classic tale of laboratory love gone awry, blending humor with the spooky allure of the grave.

If you enjoy the grumpy-meets-sunshine dynamic and the chaotic charm of forced proximity in a haunted setting, this story is your next obsession. A.M. Ward turns the gothic trope of the undead on its head, proving that while brains might be over brawn, matters of the heart are always complicated—even when they are not technically beating.
