Book Description
"We'll do it," Callum said."Of course we will," I said. "Why would we not stalk the scary magician who might be trying to raise his son from the dead? For free?" Like it or not, when a sorcerer asks you to track a magician, you track a magician. It's that or spend life as a hamster. So we did. But, turns out, the scary magician is the least of our worries. Between raging squirrel mobs, My Little Ravenous sewer monsters, and bungalow-dwelling necromancers with a good line in attack dogs, it's all we can do to keep ourselves the right side of dead. And that's before we stumble onto something far more sinister. Something that makes one dead son look like small carrots. Something that's going to raise an ancient almost-god and bring the world to its knees. Unless G&C London, Yorkshire's premier magical PIs - well, only magical PIs - can stop it first. We definitely should've charged for this one. This is the fourth 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 Melee of Mages contains some violence, particularly toward those trying to steal the lives of cats, but none of it is graphic. It contains no sex and only mild language. It does, however, contain blasphemy.
