"This series gets better with every book, which probably breaks one of the laws of physics or something." – Carol, Amazon reviewerWelcome to the world of G&C London, Leeds' best magical investigators. Technically only magical investigators, but that's basically the same thing.Whether it's a feral book of power determined to tear reality apart, a zombie apocalypse exploding into downtown Leeds, or run-ins with bad-tempered unicorns and alarmingly hungry almost-gods, Gobbelino and Callum are the PIs you want on your side.They may not know what they're doing, but they'll do it with great enthusiasm. If the price is right, of course.With plenty of snarky cats, badly-behaved magical beings, and terrible jokes, this urban fantasy series is the perfect escape for those who like their magic with a hefty side of humour. But don't be fooled - these cases are no joke, and our heroes are in for a wild ride filled with squirrel mobs, undead chickens, criminal dynasties, modern trolls, and bungalow-dwelling necromancers (everyone's got to live somewhere).So, grab a cup of tea (or something stronger) and settle in for a series that's filled with friendship, adventure, and just a whiff of existential dread.Although that might be the kraken, to be fair.◆◆◆"A Scourge of Pleasantries"“What’ve we got?”“Tigers. Snakes. Alligators. Tears in the skin of the universe.” Susan shrugged. “I think I saw a kraken in the sink, too.”Find a missing book. That was the job. Easy money, right?Right. Except the client's a sorcerer, and the book's intent on tearing the world - and us - apart. We're running out of time to find it, and reality is already looking a little frayed around the edges ...◆◆◆"A Contagion of Zombies"“Zombies don’t exist. You told me they don’t exist.”“There’s a corpse clawing its way out of a grave over there. I’m open to the possibility that I may have been wrong.”I see dead people.And I’m not the only one. They’re even on Facebook.The dead are rising, and if we don’t stop them before the infection spreads any further, we’re going to be knee-deep in the zombie apocalypse before you can say mmm, brains …◆◆◆"A Complication of Unicorns"“Unicorns never were that bright,” I said. “That’s why they’re the only kind to stab their own entire species into extinction.”“Not quite the entire species,” Callum said.When a man from Callum’s past turns up at our door claiming to have lost both the last herd of unicorns in England and his sister, I knew it should be a hard pass. The past has teeth.But this is Callum, so of course we're getting involved, and it's not long before we discover that the new-age trolls and philosphical donkeys are the least of our worries ...◆◆◆"A Melee of Mages""Find Malcolm. His safety is your safety."Threat or promise, I wasn't hanging around to find out. Not when the sorcerer making it had just yanked me straight out of my skin for a friendly chat.And if I want to avoid a repeat, we need to find Malcolm. Problem is, we’ve only got one lead. One hairy, stinking lead.Grab the chew toys. We're going on a were hunt …◆◆◆"This series is a wonderful combination of humor and suspense that won't let you stop until you've finished the book. Fair warning, don't plan on doing anything else until you're done, since you'll have to figure out how they get out of every new mess they get into." - Rosalie, Amazon reviewerThis collection contains the first four books in the Gobbelino London, PI urban fantasy series, centred around the adventures of a mercenary feline PI and his human sidekick. These books feature snarky cats and other gods, many bad jokes and terrible puns, plus a large serving of mythological and real creatures behaving badly. It will appeal to anyone who likes their fantasy funny, modern, and filled with friendship rather than romance - and also to those who suspect their cat may be living a great and secret life when they're not looking (because they are).The Gobbelino London series contains some violence, particularly involving magical ne’er-do-wells and interspecies conflict, but none of it is graphic. It contains no sex and only mild language. It does, however, contain blasphemy.
