Gobbelino London & a Melee of Mages
“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?”
When a sorcerer tells you to track a magician, you do it — or risk spending life as a hamster.
But the scary magician? Not our biggest problem.
Between raging squirrel mobs, sewer monsters, and bungalow-dwelling necromancers with attack dogs, staying alive is a full-time job.
Then we stumble onto something worse. Something that makes one dead son look like small carrots. Something that could wake an ancient almost-god and bring the world to its knees.
Unless G&C London — Yorkshire’s only magical PIs — can stop it.
We really should’ve charged for this one.
This is the fourth book in the complete, seven-book 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.

Cozy Pairings
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.
