Tam hasn’t eaten anyone in years. She is now Mama’s soft-spoken, vegan daughter—everything dangerous about her is cut out. But when Tam’s estranged Aunt Tigress is found murdered a nd skinned, Tam inherits an undead fox in a shoebox, and an ensemble of old enemies. The demons, the ghosts, the gods running coffee shops by the river? Fine. The tentacled thing stalking Tam across the city? Absolutely not. And when Tam realises the girl she’s falling in love with might be yet another loose end from her past? That’s just the brassy, beautiful cherry on top. Because no matter how quietly she lives, Tam can’t hide from her voracious upbringing, nor the suffering she caused. As she navigates romance, redemption, and the end of the world, she can’t help but wonder…Do monsters even deserve happy endings?With worldbuilding inspired by Chinese folklore and the Siksiká Nation in Canada, LGBTQIA+ representation, and a Sapphic romance, Aunt Tigress is at once familiar and breathtakingly innovative.
