Gobbelino London & 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 old debts plus a damsel in distress means Callum just can't say no. G&C London, Private Investigators, are plunging deep into the magical underbelly of Leeds, and we're going to have our work cut out for us.

Never mind the criminal dynasties, cross-dressing trolls, trained attack lizards, and philosophical donkeys - we need to find the sister and get out before the Watch get involved.

Why? Well, they've killed me three times already.

Yeah. I preferred extinct unicorns.

This is the third 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 Complication of Unicorns contains some violence, particularly toward those not treating cats with due respect, but none of it is graphic. It contains no sex and only mild language. It does, however, contain blasphemy.

Cozy Pairings

Each pairing is chosen to create a cozy moment where scent, story, and craft come together.
Voodoo

Voodoo is a rich and inviting fragrance built around the depth of freshly brewed coffee, softened with the natural sweetness of sugar cane. Warm and slightly indulgent, this scent blends bold, roasted notes with a smooth, lingering sweetness that feels both energizing and comforting. Subtle and atmospheric, it carries a hint of something more, adding a layer of intrigue that makes the fragrance feel warm, familiar, and just a little bit magical.

Why we chose this: Gobbelino London is a mercenary feline private investigator, Callum is his long-suffering human sidekick, and together they have faced Books of Power, zombie chickens, the last unicorns in England, necromancers, weres, mermaids, and the end of the world, usually for less money than the job was worth. Voodoo carries the warm, slightly mysterious depth of a series where the magic is always stranger than expected and the friendship at its heart is the realest thing in it, rich and roasted with a hint of something that feels like a late night that keeps getting more interesting. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the warmth fill the room like a Yorkshire evening where Gobbelino is already plotting something inadvisable and Callum has just realized it is too late to stop him.
