Some superheroes want to save the world. Damian is just hoping to save himself. In the post-Break world of superpowers, necromancy is the one gift nobody wants. Everyone knows what happens to Crows; first they go mad and then they go bad. That's the story of infamous mass murderers like Crimson Death and Sally Cemetery. It's also the story of David Jameson, an otherwise unremarkable man who came home one day and killed his wife, orphaning their five-year-old son, Damian. Thirteen years later, Damian has inherited more than just grey eyes and a beak of a nose from his father. He too is a Crow, doomed to become a killer unless he can find a way to avoid the violent madness endemic to his powers. When a Finder offers enrollment at Los Angeles' Academy of Superheroes, he jumps at the chance, believing training could be the key to changing his fate. His classmates despise him, the majority of his teachers want him expelled, and his mom's ghost hasn't said a word since reappearing when he was nine, but Damian isn't the kind to give up. He's going to take control of his destiny or die in the process. It's that or end up like his father. See These Bones is a post-apocalyptic, superhero, coming-of-age ghost story... with expletives. Review: Great read - If youre a fan of superhero stories you should read this. I really liked Damian as the mc, he had the right balance of traits, he is good but not a pushover, has pride and attitude but not obnoxious. I liked the pacing and it stuck the landing. Its a good book and an easy recommendation. Review: Perfect book for Super Powereds fans - 5/5 This book was a fun read which contains elements from Super Powereds and MHA but never felt like a ripoff. The main character, Damian was witty and sometimes frustrating but never was a bore to read. I genuinely have no idea why this book isn't talked around much. A really good Super Hero book

What an amazing surprise
I hadn't heard of this book but saw it recommended on Reddit so decided to give it a go. And I am blown away by how good it is. Great characters, action and story. Lots of mysteries as well. Will be recommending this to everybody. Can't wait to read the rest of the series

Best book of 2022
This was a refreshing take on post apocalyptic fiction with super heroes and black hats. The world building is incredible as is the fleshed out characters. Great action, laugh out loud moments and gritty drama. Can't wait for book 2

Stunning. I don't really have all the words for it.
I've burned through the trilogy now and can absolutely say READ THESE DAMNED BOOKS. They take every boring trope of young-hero-discovers-hes-magic-goes-to-magic-school-and-saves-the-world and beats them to death, laughing maniacally as they do it. The tale is dark and full of woe but it's also beautiful and heart-warming and cruel and caring. Every teenager should read it and every old adult like me should too. Cleverly written and cleverly witty; the humanity at the core of the story shines through. Read the damn book. It'll stay with me for a long time and I wouldn't have it any other way. And I cried at the end, not because of the ending but because the ride was over. And that's the sign of a damn good book. Read the damn book

Love This Take on the Super Hero Genre
5 out of 5 I have a new favorite indie author. I'm obsessed. Hero is not the first word that comes to mind when you hear Necromancer. Yet, Damian Banach is the first "Crow" to be admitted into the Academy of Heroes. What I liked: I love this dystopic take on the superhero genre. Nothing is shiny and perfect. Being a superhero has definite drawbacks which makes the whole thing interesting on its own. Damian is the first necromancer admitted into the academy. No of his classmates want him to be there thinking that he would go crazy and kill them all, but eventually, he begins to make friends despite his best efforts to do otherwise. The character arc was really well done. I was rooting for Damian throughout the story. The world-building was done very well. Excellent editing and story structures. Just well done all around. What I didn't like: I loved the whole thing. There is nothing that I didn't like about this story. Overall: If you like superhero stories, you will love this one. It's original, gritty, and just a lot of fun to read. I have put the sequel on my TBR.

Well written and great characters.
The over-use of foreshadowing and/or broadcasting future events may have been unnecessary, but the characters were relatable and distinct, and the story made sense - things I am having trouble finding in many other Kindle Unlimited books…
