The much-anticipated follow-up to word-of-mouth bestseller Bored Gay Werewolf

Brian, Nik, and Darby - three friends practiced in fighting supernatural crime (when Brian's not committing it as a werewolf once a month) - have been sent to London to try to track down a missing colleague.

Prowling around the city, they stumble across a clairvoyancy smuggling ring. Who's kidnapping all the fortune tellers in Soho and why? And is it coincidence, fate or something more sinister that Maeve, a timid trans woman taking time out of her job to track down her birth mother, turns up on the gang's doorstep... and has the uncanny ability to know just what's going to happen next?
