Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm Queen of the Dead Kindle Edition

Book 7 of 9: Please Don't Tell My Parents

See all formats and editions

Avery Special is the world's only living necromancer, and she's pretty bad at it. She also just moved to L.A., where trouble has been waiting for a necromancer. Trouble that doesn't care how strong she is, or that she's only fifteen. Monsters, magical artifacts, occultists and television producers only care that a real necromancer is back.

There are definitely upsides. Chris, Annie, Sue, and Peggy have their own creepy super powers and are the best friends a girl could hope to make on her first day in a new city. Her Pudgy Bunny coloring book can teach her more than a stack of grimoires. Her ghostly ancestors are so eager to help it's annoying.

Not that she has time for any of that, because Chris and Sue are both in love with her.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Richard Roberts is drawn to dark, strange fairy tales, which of course is why he got famous for his perky middle school supervillain stories instead.

That presents the two halves of his work, the fun and crazy, and the dark and weird. In both cases, he does his best to entertain, to look at old ideas to see how strange they are if you think them through, and to make a story where his characters earn their happy endings.

A fun and worthwhile YA romp

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2022

Like the other Don't Tell My Parent books, this is an enjoyable YA story with an interesting cast of characters. Honestly, after finishing the book I'm more interested in where they go than I am in Penny's Trio, and I think that's saying something.

If you're new to the series I'd say this is a fine starting point; references to past books abound but none are distracting or out of place.

Ironically, this book has likely the least amount of horror of any others in the series. All those in the Scooby gang are upbeat and even hopeful. I really hope this crew gets another book or five about them.

"Please Don't Tell My Parents" is a delightful universe to visit, with well thought out characters and fantastical adventures. Great to read as an adult, but even better if you've got yourself a young superteen to entertain.

Queen of the Dead is another fine addition to the series

Recommendation: Do read Please Don’t Tell My Parents I’m a Supervillain, first.
Author Richard Roberts creates a fictional but realistic Los Angeles peopled with superheros, supervillains, super geniuses, and super mad scientists living among non-super Angelenos. Roberts has a genius for creating fascinating superheros with whimsical superpowers. He has a genius for creating fascinating hidden lairs where his supervillains hatch their nefarious schemes. His fictional universe also has a complex set of taboos strictly adhered to by heroes and villains alike. Reading the first novel in the series may help younger readers by giving them an expository introduction to the author’s rich and immersive fantasy world.
The latest volume of the series, Please Don’t Tell My Parents I’m Queen of the Dead, immediately throws protagonist Avery Special into a superpowered scenario. She’s newly relocated to Los Angeles and speaks in a heavy Southern colloquial dialect. Mercifully, the author does the reader a favor and conveys Avery’s thoughts in standard English. Avery and her LA friends explore new territory within the city settings already familiar to readers of Please Don’t Tell My Parents I’m a Supervillain. The novel, as in previous volumes of the series, picks up the common theme of dual, or even multiple, personalities inhabiting characters’ psyches. The book is a good read.
Spoiler Alert: The author gives a gentle and positive nod to the LGBTQ world in his newest book. Avery begins a yuri relationship with one of her new LA friends. Avery is attracted to the one male character among her new group of friends, too. All the adults are accepting and supportive.
Trigger Alert: There is a traumatic and violent attack on Avery’s high school by a supervillain. It’s here the author imagines characters could survive a horrific incident, but could easily, too easily, brush off the physical and/or psychological damage. Avery and her girlfriend leave straight from the scene of the school attack to a first meeting with the girlfriend’s parents. The parents are inexplicably unaware of the school attack, and not terribly concerned when finally informed. After the girls survive the attack and the meeting-the-parents thing, they play old fashioned arcade games and do a light workout on treadmills. Young people are resilient, but even for a YA novel this series of events occuring all in one afternoon strains credulity. On a stress-o-meter scale of 1 to 10, it seems a school attack rates about a 7, while a first meeting with parents rates an 11.5. Arcade games are totally cool. Deduct one star.

Avery is very Special indeed

This may be my favorite in this series since the first. The themes of the series, of young people finding themselves and coming into their own, has continued, and grown.
Several twists I didn't see coming but which made perfect sense. A heroine of dark magic who's just the sweetest thing. Wonderful contradictions, and more wonder in this world.
Thank you, RR, for being willing to keep this world alive.

I devoured this one and can't wait for more!
The latest novel in the Please Don't Tell My Parents series starts off running and is by turns sweet and funny. The adventure never stops as Avery and her friends deal with the challenges a super-powered city throws at them. Avery is trying to figure out what she can do, and wants to do - both with her powers and in life generally. The heroes and villains in the city expect her to pick a side, and they know what they expect from a necromancer. But real life is never that simple. Meanwhile, everybody expects something from her - the bullies at school, her new friends, her great-grandmother's lonely necromantic creations, and the many people who live for and through the superhero/supervillain dichotomy.

I love this series, fun and interesting characters in a setting I love. Now if only Penny made a cameo in the next one…or a story of her more grown up would be great! Would be nice to see how she is getting along!

Our guide to arcane places has told a fine story and has not strained incredulity beyond the snapping point. Well done, sir.

Wait -- a Supervillains Story where the Protagonist Doesn't Want To Be a Villain?

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2022

Verified Purchase

Once again, Mr. Roberts breaks the mold. Avery Special doesn't want to be a superhero nor a supervillain; she'd rather read her fantasy and sci-fi, climb a decently challenging rock or two, and just learn the amazing mysteries of life and love awaiting a fifteen-year-old. But, she's a necromancer by birth, and so everyone else she encounters expects her to behave a certain way -- raising the dead, speaking to ghosts, and committing many nefarious deeds. Some of which, admittedly, holds a little attraction for Avery, but she can really do without the prejudice that she is automatically evil. Follow along with her as she learns how to just live a (more or less) normal teenager's life in a city filled with Heroes and Villains, and their expectations.

I have read every story in this series so far and have enjoyed them all. This latest instalment brings new characters but maintains the same high standard of story-telling.
