Publisher's summary
Writers of the Future grand prize winner Randy Henderson presents a dark and quirky debut in Finn Fancy Necromancy.
Finn Gramaraye was framed for the crime of dark necromancy at the age of 15 and exiled to the Other Realm for 25 years. But now that he's free, someone--probably the same someone--is trying to get him sent back. Finn has only a few days to discover who is so desperate to keep him out of the mortal world and find evidence to prove it to the Arcane Enforcers. They are going to be very hard to convince since he's already been convicted of trying to kill someone with dark magic.
But Finn has his family: his brother, Mort, who is running the family necrotorium business now; his brother, Pete, who believes he's a werewolf, though he is not; and his sister, Samantha, who is, unfortunately, allergic to magic. And he's got Zeke, a fellow exile and former enforcer who doesn't really believe in Finn's innocence but is willing to follow along in hopes of getting his old job back.

Simon is the best delivery boy that Mr Edwards’s restaurant has ever had. He’s on time every time, and he’s gotten nothing but good reviews. But he needs more money. His mother’s medical treatment won’t pay for itself, and his father is already working three jobs to try to make ends meet. But it might just be his lucky day: Mr. Edwards has another job for him. It’s more delivery work, but not the usual kind. You might even say that it’s out of this world. Oh well. Beggars can’t be choosers, and the pay is fantastic.

When the witch built the 40-flight tower, she made very sure to do the whole thing properly. Each flight contains a dreadful monster, ranging from a diamond-scaled dragon to a pack of slavering goblins. Should a prince battle his way to the top, he will be rewarded with a golden sword - and the lovely Princess Floralinda. But no prince has managed to conquer the first flight yet, let alone get to the 40th. In fact, the supply of fresh princes seems to have quite dried up.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Guarding a prince from terrorists and religious fundamentalists is hard enough, but it seems like the entire supernatural world is after this guy too. When she is betrayed by those she is employed to help, and everything goes horribly wrong, Celia wakes to find herself transformed. Neither human nor vampire, Celia has become an abomination-something that should not exist-and now both human and supernatural alike want her dead.

Looking for a tattoo - and maybe a little something extra: a burst of good luck, a dollop of true love, or even a hex on an ex? Head to the quiet and mysterious Gage, the best skin artist in town. Using unique potions - a blend of extraordinary ingredients and special inks - to etch the right symbol, he can fulfill any heart's desire. But in a place like Low Town, where elves, faeries, trolls, werewolves, and vampires happily walk among humanity, everything has its price. No one knows that better than Gage.

Story
We're the D'Artigo sisters: Half-human, half-Faerie, we are savvy - and sexy - operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. But our mixed-blood heritage short-circuits our talents at all the wrong times. My sister Delilah shapeshifts into a tabby cat whenever she's stressed. Menolly's a vampire who is still trying to get the hang of being undead. And me? I'm Camille - a wicked-good witch. Except my magic is as unpredictable as the weather, which my enemies are about to find out the hard way.

Story
When the fae beckon, few resist. Even fewer return. As a veil witch, I'm used to taking out the supernatural trash. Everything from poltergeists to vampires, you name it and I've dealt with it. So opening a paranormal cleanup business just seemed to make sense. If I'm already dealing with the pests, why not get paid? But when I accidentally breach the faerie realm to encounter a girl recently reported missing, start seeing the ghost of a witch whose disappearance has never been solved, and discover a Book of Shadows that opens only for me, I can't just go back to business as usual.

Awesome Playlist
I have over 2000 books and I can say that this book and its sequel are the only ones from which I've made playlists.
If you are Gen X and love feel-good dark fantasy..then get this book and Big Foot Loose and Fancy Free.

Witty New Fantasy Voice
When Finn Fancy showed up in my Audible recommendations, I didn't pay much attention for a while because I never heard of Randy Henderson or the narrator, Todd Haberkorn, and the cover art and title made me think it might be too silly. After all, everyone and his dog seems to think he can write fantasy and a lot of it is drivel. But I finally picked this one up when I couldn't think of anything else I wanted to hear and wow - I LOVED THIS BOOK and I really loved the narration, too!
The story starts with the release of Finn from exile where he has been for 25 years having been sentenced to having his spirit separated from his body for a magical crime where he was the fall guy. The story flows from there with Finn's determined pursuit to find the truth about who set him up, why that was done, and who is still out to get him.
One of the things I liked best about the story is that Finn, although he has some magical abilities, is such a regular Joe. He loves his family, but doesn't always like them or get along with them; he wants to find love, but doesn't recognize it when it sneaks up on him; he has work to rid himself of prejudices he was taught when he was young. And this poor guy has to face all those regular human challenges and some major magical challenges while he has just jumped physically, mentally, and emotionally from being 15 to being 40!
There was nothing I didn't like about Finn Fancy and so much I loved so I'll just list a few:
* Great prose, much better than most fantasy writers and I particularly like the many clever similes that Henderson throws around. One example:"To know I'd helped to make him so unhappy, made me feel like I had beaten a unicorn to death with a Care Bear in front of a small child."
* Good World Building. This story is low fantasy - magical elements integrated into our world with most non-magical people (Mundanes or Mundies) being unaware - but most of the plot takes place on the magical side with mostly magical characters. Henderson lets his world unfold naturally with the plot progression so there are no info-dumps, but also very little time when the reader is confused.
* Fun 80's nostalgia. If you were born early enough to remember the 80's you'll get a kick out of the references to old TV shows (a lot of great Trekker references incorporated here), movies, slang, and miscellany (remember the Commodore 64 anyone?). Henderson has a lot of fun with our hero having to leap the big technology gap from then to now.
* Nice characterizations and realistic relationships between characters.
* Both witty and suspenseful. It's a tricky line for a writer to use some dark and suspenseful themes mixed with some comedy relief, but Henderson does this really well. So there is a good mystery with a twisty resolution in this story, but a lot of engaging funny moments and a great deal of wit that keeps the story lighter and fun..And, for all that I am usually a fan of snarky humor, most of the wit in Finn Fancy is much more gentle and leans to clever rather than snarky and that was a nice change of pace.
So, I've found a new writer I love, but I've also stumbled on a narrator I really enjoyed as well. I initially thought that Todd Haberkorn sounded a bit nerdy and then I realized - that's the character. Finn is a bit of nerd and Haberkorn not only captures him well, but finds a great voice for every other character in the novel (including women and girls). Really nice performance for a really fun novel.
This is Randy Henderson's debut novel which explains why I hadn't heard of him before. I sure hope to hear a LOT more from him in the future.

High Entertainment
I have a new friend. Randy Henderson shall join my library of literary friends that share time with me on the couch with a cup o' coffee and the warmth of the wood stove radiating its love. The narration of Todd Haberkorn was exquisite with the creation of multi voiced story telling. I look forward to spending more time with Finn in his continuing exploits into the Arcane.

Finntastically Uncanny
The story was both wonderfully familiar as well as being curiously unique. It offered flavors of Skullduggery Pleasant, MYTH Inc., and the adventure of The Chronicles of Amber, all while drawing you in with a new dynamic between the mundane and magical.

Fun listen
Any additional comments?
This is fun urban fantasy in the vein of the Iron Druid. Character is snarky and likable. Narrator does a good job and brings a cool modern tone to most of the fantasy characters, wasn't too crazy about his "people of color" voice, but very good besides that. The story was not the best I've heard, but the author made up with likable characters. The ending was strange.....last chapter should have been a prologue, story just kinda went on and then ended, good listen none the less.

hits me in all the right places.
this was highly engaging and a lot of fun for me, I especially appreciated the inclusion of the character Pete. the family dynamic was depicted in a very believable manner. I will soon start book two since this also did an excellent job of leaving me wanting more.
