Description

"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 the woman in the Doc Martens gave us.

Easy money, right?

Only now it seems she's actually an ancient, powerful sorcerer, and the book is a Book of Power that doesn't want to be found.

It wants to tear reality apart at the seams, and it'll use anyone it can to do it.

So now we've got one spectacularly displeased sorcerer, a hungry, still-missing book, a dentist with bad hygiene, and a neighbourhood having some reality issues to deal with.

Plus about a day before the book turns our world – and us – inside out.

We've totally got this.

I hope.

This is the first book in the Gobbelino London, PI urban fantasy series, centred around the adventures of a mercenary feline PI and his human sidekick. It contains 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.

A Scourge of Pleasantries contains some violence, particularly toward furniture, but none of it is graphic. It contains no sex and only mild language. It does, however, contain blasphemy.

Reviews

  • Excellent stories of a unique duo

    These stories, told from Gobellino the cat’s point of view, have been a refreshing change from the usual cozy mystery. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing, and the entertainment and oddness of the magical world to add some spiciness. The characters are well developed, and continue to grow and evolve as the series continues, while retaining their unique personalities. I’ve enjoyed all 5 of the series, and certainly hope there will be more!
