Story
The royal family of a powerful empire are visiting Belvaille for an upcoming diplomatic summit. But their plans are somewhat interrupted when the galaxy’s premier assassin shows up and eliminates every single aristocrat. All except for one child who had been hidden. Hank is happy minding his own business. Of course, his business entails robbing, extorting, eating lots of food, and fighting. But compared with the rest of the criminals of his city, he’s practically a saint. However, Hank’s easy existence is interrupted by the chief of security.

Story
A magical serial killer is on the loose, and gelatinous, otherworldly creatures are infesting the English countryside. Which is making life for the Ministry of Occultism difficult, because magic is supposed to be their best kept secret. After centuries in the shadows, the Ministry is forced to unmask, exposing the country's magical history - and magical citizens - to a brave new world of social media, government scrutiny, and public relations.

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

Few things are worse than undeveloped planets, especially those that haven’t even made it to the soufflé stage. To top it off, this particular planet comes with its own insane ruler and an Orb That Controls Everything and Must Be Respected.

Accidentally murdered by a cleric in another universe during a botched resurrection, Arnold, a semi-pro gamer, wakes upon an altar to find himself incarnated into the overweight body of a farmer who could have been his fatter twin. He’s not the hero. He’s not the villain. He’s certainly not the chosen one who is there to save the world. He’s a clerical error. It could be a bad joke, but apparently, it happens so often that they have a standard procedure for returning you.

The day his life changed started out exactly like he had come to expect. His car died on a rarely traveled road, and he broke his toe shortly after dodging the one other car on the road. When it stopped and backed up to him, the license plate read “LADYLUK”, adding insult to injury.

Publisher's Summary
Humans seem to believe that this chaotic mess of a universe is more or less puttering along on its own. As if universes were completely natural concepts.
What if I told you there were no scientific laws? What if I told you that everything, including the facts you are most certain about, could fundamentally change at a moment’s notice and never go back to the way they were before?
All life, each object, every feeling or thought you possess, are based entirely upon Spells. It is an active, continual process. They are creating us this very instant.
Intelligent Spells control every aspect of reality. The good news is that none of those Spells care about you in the slightest. The entire human species wasn’t even made on purpose. It was simply an accident based upon countless Spells going about their individual tasks.
As a Spell Talker, you are a member of the Dawned. You have the ability to influence Spells and anything that Spells govern. What your purpose is, and the overarching purpose of Spells in general, is up to you to determine.

Not like Hank.
Two hours in and the only memorable character, supposedly a badass stunt woman, is too wimpy to pull the trigger on a man eating zombie thing that’s trying to kill her? Wtf? The author seems to equate inexperience with having a weak personality. This characters inner monologue is also just plain annoying... in the only action scene so far she is paralyzed with fear and confusion. She is given multiple chances to catch her breath and defend herself (she has a gun), but she doesn’t over and over. In a life or death situation, no one has time to sit and think about it. Don’t spend 15 minutes telling us your thoughts, just act! She’s morally afraid to kill these monsters trying to kill her and another person... what? Totally irrational.
I’ve tried to really give this a chance since I am in love with the whole hard luck hank series. But I think the author was trying something different here, and it’s not my taste. The build up is too slow, and there’s little to no humor. The hank books are also very personal, everything is from hanks view. But this book has not picked a single person. It jumps between half a dozen timelines and narrators, none of them particularly memorable or likable.
I would have kept going but too many things are piling up I don’t like. Mostly, the main female character’s defining traits are beauty and badassery, then she proceeds to not fight for her life? Come on, I’m okay with you writing your female main characters as super hot, but only if they also have strong personalities. You wrote her as an experienced boxer, kickboxer, martial artist, etc. who “can take a punch” but somehow not in a real fight.
Can’t believe this is the same guy who wrote the character Garm in the Hank books. Maybe this story picks up, but I don’t have the patience at this point. Haven’t even gotten to the part where she supposedly starts to fight the zombie things. It was building up to that but it took to long, so no. Goodbye.

Wasent a fan
I absolutly love The Hard Luck Hank series By Steven Campbell but i couldent get into this series. Its all personal complaints im sure others will like it. They story was a bit all over you follow so many different characters that its hard to pin point who is the lead role and the spell part of it is just confusing and lack luster. i hope others enjoy it but its not my cup of tea per say.

super fun, exciting, smart, gory, and as always funny. I'm always a bit apprehensive reading a new series by a favorite author. S. Campbells other series, hard luck hank is one of my all time favorites, so hopes and expectations were super high for this new series. I enjoyed every bit! I'm going to listen again immediately!

Enjoyable urban fantasy, definitely isn't HL Hank
I am NOT a fantasy reader, urban fantasy is pretty far outside of my usual scope of interest but I decided to give this a shot because I really loved Hard Luck Hank and thought I might get to cry with laughter like I did with HLH. Well, it's not the same kind humor but I definitely did end up enjoying it. I imagine an urban fantasy person would more thoroughly enjoy it than me, but I am still very happy with my purchase/experience.
