🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇 5-Bat Review: VEXXED by Llya Voskrensensky

Not at all what I expected — and I loved it for that. VEXXED took every trope I thought I knew, flipped it inside out, sprinkled in some chaos, and cackled in my face. Nevermore? Chef’s kiss. I would absolutely sell my soul for a snarky little raven-demon companion like that — half menace, half emotional support gremlin. Vexx as a character? Epic. Hilarious. Unbothered. A hot mess with just enough bite.

The banter in this book? Next. Level. I was smirking and snorting my way through the pages like an unhinged gremlin. The twist caught me off guard in the best way, and the pacing made it a quick, fun, witchy delight.

The writing style is a bit different — nonlinear, sharp, playful — and might not be for everyone, but for me? It was a bold, brilliant move that made the story stand out from the crowd.

Absolutely devoured it. I need more.

VEXXED is a gloriously chaotic cocktail of dark magic, bad decisions, and scandalous snark—and I slurped up every deliciously disastrous drop!

A fun necromantic romp—is something I never thought I'd say, and yet here we are! Vexx is both a necromancer and a smartass, and his raven, Nevermore, suits him well. They've come to clean a pack of ghouls out of a baronial graveyard, but get a little sidetracked by ... spoilers.

Even if, like me, you're a chicken and don't usually go for tales of necromancy this is worth a try. And it's a novella, so it's a very quick read. This is the author's first published work and I have tosay I can't wait to read their next one!

VEXXED is an unapologetically chaotic, wickedly sharp tale of necromancy, charm, and a lead who makes all the wrong choices—and somehow makes you root for him anyway. The world is gritty and weird in the best way, and the writing crackles with wit and emotional undercurrents. I loved how the story balanced grim magic with snarky humor and complicated relationships—it’s clever, fast-paced, and feels like The Witcher took a bad dare at a cursed tavern. I couldn’t put it down, and I didn’t want to.

This Book is a Glorious Dumpster Fire of Magic and Mayhem—and I’m Obsessed

Y’ALL. This book is like if sarcasm had a baby with a resurrection spell and raised it on vampire gossip and bad decisions. I devoured VEXXED like a cursed snack and I’m not even sorry. Snarky raven? Check. Bloody flirting? Check. Curses, chaos, and one necromancer who seriously needs a therapist (and maybe a helmet)? DOUBLE CHECK. It’s messy, moody, and completely unhinged in the best way. Read it. Regret nothing. 🖤🔥🕸️

Was a fantastic book that i thoroughly recommend and will be buying as I need a trophy version lol. I enjoying the different dynamics at play and the way that different cultures were introduced and included. It’s a fantastic book and I highly recommend!
