About the book

About River of Light: The Netherweird Chronicles, Book Eight - paranormal urban fantasy, where history and mythology collide

“I’m being stalked by a feral spirit and haunted by hot chocolate. And now I’m babysitting a three-hundred-year-old child. If the authorities don’t get me, insanity might.” Lilith O’Reilly’s afterlife has finally settled down—relatively speaking. All she has to do is ignore her friends’ questionable morals and accept that cats are the superior species. But now otters are causing a disturbance in the Mersey, and no one knows why—including the otters. When a lost soul returns to demand justice, Lil has to fight her way through Liverpool’s underworld in search of the truth behind the legends. Because sometimes—just sometimes—the sins of the past can be righted by the sinners of the present. Book eight in the bestselling Netherweird Chronicles series, RIVER OF LIGHT is a sharp and funny urban fantasy about friendship, family ties, and how it’s never too late to do the right thing. *** Praise for The Netherweird Chronicles: “Not a single dull character among them…even the cat is cool.” “Phenomenal…A romp through the beautiful city, encompassing its unique people and historic buildings, sites sounds and smells, the author captures and evokes the weight of historical zeitgeist and as we scousers would say... blends it.” “...does for Liverpool what Ben Aaronovitch does for London.”
