Synopsis
From the Romantic Times Sapphire award winning author of the Internationally best-selling Elfhome series, comes the sequel to The Black Wolves of Boston
Joshua Tatterskein’s life has been strange. He's become a werewolf, lives with a three-hundred-year-old vampire named Silas Decker and a ginger kitten called Trouble. Then things get even weirder when he encounters a talking penguin who wants to hire him for a job. Joshua just wants to graduate from his new high school. The school is owned by Boston’s werewolf pack, and while the teachers might not realize the owners are wolves, all the kids with special abilities –– the Goths –– know. The good news is the Goths are happy to help Joshua, but the bad news is: one of them has gone missing.
Silas Decker has been waking up earlier than normal – very odd after three hundred years of being dead to the world when the sun is up. He enjoys the change – but what does he have to do for it to continue?
Elise Grigori’s day starts bad; her angelic family has discovered that she’s dating Jack Cabot, Thane to the Wolf King. It gets worse when Central Office calls to say that her cousin Francis is missing from his Vermont monastic retreat. He’s a Power, God’s strength manifested in flesh, which means he’s a walking nuke. His car is in Boston, which is very bad news for Boston.
Seth Tatterskein is trying to hold his life together until he’s old enough to leave the Wolf King’s castle in New York and return to Boston as its Prince. His departure requires keeping his emotions in check – not an easy thing to do when your brother starts texting things like, “What kind of penguin talks?”

Furious action . . . good characterization, playful eroticism and well-developed folklore. . . . lift this well above the fantasy average. . . . Buffy fans should find a lot to like in the book's resourceful heroine.”—Publishers Weekly on series debut Tinker
About Wen Spencer's Eight Million Gods:
Eight Million Gods is a wonderfully weird romp through Japanese mythology, culture shock, fan culture and the ability to write your own happy ending. It is diverting and entertaining fantasy."—Galveston County Daily News
