The much-anticipated follow-up to word-of-mouth bestseller Bored Gay Werewolf

Brian, Nik and Darby - three friends practiced in fighting supernatural crime (when Brian's not committing it as a werewolf once a month) - have been sent to London to try to track down a missing colleague.

Prowling around the city, they stumble across a clairvoyancy smuggling ring. Who's kidnapping all the fortune tellers in Soho and why? And is it coincidence, fate or something more sinister that Maeve, a timid trans woman taking time out of her job to track down her birth mother, turns up on the gang's doorstep... and has the uncanny ability to know just what's going to happen next?

Reviews for Shy Trans Banshee: The supernatural mystery that's an absolute scream

If possible, it's even better than the first book, which I outright loved. It's bubbling with queer joy and literal magic... a brilliant, emotional, heartfelt read -- Reader Review Santorella has struck the perfect balance of sarcastic banter, gruesome gore, and genuine pathos. I've quite literally laughed, yelled in excitement, and cried reading this book -- Reader Review In just 2 books, Tony Santorella has become a new favourite author. I have to say I am already impatient to read a book 3 -- Reader Review I ADORED this! Brian might honestly be one of my favourite protagonists of all time -- Reader Review I absolutely loved it. The dialogue made me laugh out loud so many times -- Reader Review
