Tam Lin hasn’t eaten anyone in years. 

She no longer has a Grandmama who is lord of a mountain, nor an exorcist for a Father, and definitely no longer associates with an Aunt who snacks on human fingers. Tam is now an almost-normal botany student, on a perfectly normal first date with a girl probably out of her league.

When her estranged Aunt Tigress is found murdered and skinned, Tam inherits more than old enemies and a ghoul in a shoebox. She inherits a city broken by Tigress’s relentless pursuit of immortality. How can she fall in love when all her aunt’s victims — the ghost foxes, the witches and demons, the gods running coffee shops by the river, and even her new crush — want answers from her? Redemption takes Tam and her new companions across the city and out of this dimension, chasing usurpers and the slim hope that even monsters deserve happy endings.
