Finn Fancy Necromancy was a delightful read complete with humor, heart and 80s pop references. It's a book plenty of urban fantasy fans will enjoy. 
 I'm old and have hair...everywhere 
 Finn was exiled to the fey realm for something he didn't do (attempted murder) when he was 15 years old. While there he was forced to relive all of his memories over and over again so the fey could feed off of his emotions. Now 25 years later his exile is over, he's back home and he's, oh jeez, old - and eegads...hairy! Ok 40 isn't really old - he does have a hairy back though. Eww. haha Imagine that as the reaction of a 15 year old. Anyways...those particular circumstances of the age he was exiled at and the age he is now gave his character and this book a very unique feel. Because Finn still very much has the emotional mentality of a teenager at times. He just feels young but he's an adult and he's trying to balance that out. There is SOO much that he has missed. It really gave the book a comedic feel at times what with his naive behavior and awe at things he encounters now that he is back. I enjoyed the effect this had on the character's narrative, plus I love all things 80s and there were enough references and some slang that hit my sweet spot. 
 Finn is from a family of necromancers that run a mortuary business. I know cool right. And he has the rare ability to Talk to the dead. The downside...when you do that it eats some of your life away. So maybe not so cool after all. The way the supernatural community and fey creatures exist in this world was really cool. A unique and yet familiar setup for an urban fantasy. There are all sorts of creatures and a number of which I hadn't yet encountered in other urban fantasy books yet. 
 Let's crash this party 
 What a fun cast of characters! Seriously Finn's family brings a whole new level of WTF to the phrase dysfunctional family. His father talks in nothing but rhymes and riddles. His brother Mort is a power hungry jerk, his sister Sammy is allergic to magic, his mother is dead but her ghost still haunts the house and his younger brother Petey thinks he's a werewolf (because of a prank Finn and Mort played on him when he was a kid.) Throw in an outrageous best friend / neighbor, an old high school flame, a mohawked enforcer with the habit of ending sentences with "fool" and his waer sister - and you quite the interesting mix of folks that go together just right. I had so much fun with all of them and was pleased to find each very well developed. 
 What else is in store for readers 
 (view spoiler)[- Sasquatches, yes that's right 
 - a hoard of vicious gnomes 
 - a spell that weaponizes your urine 
 - family drama! Oh goody hah 
 - evil witches 
 - library shenanigans! 
 - waers (werewolves and other cool fey creatures) 
 - and best of all, much ass kickery (hide spoiler)] 
 Really there isn't any reason you shouldn't be reading Finn Fancy Necromancy. It was heaps of fun and I was surprised to find at the end it tugged at my heartstrings. I can't wait to see what else is in store for Finn and company.
