Tam hasnât eaten anyone in years.
She is now Mamaâs soft-spoken, vegan daughterâeverything dangerous about her is cut out.
But when Tamâs estranged Aunt Tigress is found murdered and 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 realizes the girl sheâs falling in love with might be yet another loose end from her past? Thatâs just the brassy, beautiful cherry on top.

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.
