About this listen
Wizards are being murdered. Picked off and torn to shreds. It’s up to a hexed detective to crack the case.
Detective Rita Hobbes has been cursed; erased from everyday reality and cast adrift in a world of magic and monsters. To the workaday world, Rita is a forgotten memory, which raises the question, what will she do with the rest of her life now?
It’s only when the savaged body of a dead wizard is wheeled into the local morgue that Rita gets the answer to her question. She’s going to do what she always does. She’s going to be a detective.
The Council of Wizards is terrified, innocent people are being transformed into monstrous beasts, and all clues point to a mysterious visitor with a bad habit of sinking her teeth into people.
A werewolf with a century-long grudge is stalking the streets of Blackpool, a werewolf with magic so powerful she can affect the phases of the night sky. Can Rita bring the werewolf to justice and put an end to her vengeance, or will every night from this day forward be a fatal moon?
Listen to Fatal Moon and enter a magical, pause-resisting urban fantasy you cannot put down. Like Neil Gaiman? Then you’ll love Fatal Moon.

Story
Detective Rita Hobbes’ life has been mysteriously erased, and her day isn’t about to get any better. All Rita wants is to abandon dreary Blackpool and start over somewhere new. But when she triggers a magical hex that renders her invisible and traps her in her hometown, escape seems impossible. Rita soon finds that Blackpool has some hidden secrets: magical artifacts fashioned in heaven, a fallen angel buried beneath the sea in a glass prison, and living nightmares in fine suits and animal masks that can turn your mind to soup.

A witch’s familiar must protect London from the monsters that lurk in the shadows; the creatures that seek to unravel the fabric of things and send a city to hell. Stella Familiar was created by the London Coven out of spit and blood. She’s a fighter, a blunt instrument, built to destroy the forces of evil and keep peace in the capital. She’s carried out her duty for decades, but when the witches who gave birth to her are butchered, it’s up to her alone to save a city of nine million people. Mystery, scares, and fast-paced action collide in this thrilling urban fantasy.

Story
From the pulpy pages of Black Mask Magazine in the 1920s and '30s, through the film noir era of the 1940s, to today, noir fiction has lured many a reader and movie-goer away from the light and into the dark underbelly of society. Names such as Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain; titles like The Big Sleep, The Maltese Falcon, The Postman Always Rings Twice...these have inhabited our collective consciousness for decades. Humanity, it seems, loves the dark. And within the dark, one figure stands out: that of the femme fatale.

Another brilliant Uncanny gem...
Some truths are undeniable. One such truth is that the two authors who write the Uncanny Kingdom books will never let you down. If urban fantasy appeals to you at all, you should try one of their series set in the Uncanny Kingdom. They are all brilliant, full of action, loaded with unique and unforgettable characters, and are delightfully seasoned with snarky British humor that makes you laugh out loud. Fatal Moon, the second book of the Hexed Detective series, is no exception. While I do not believe you would be lost if you started with this story, to fully savor the nuances of the characters development and their relationships with one another, I would recommend reading Hexed Detective first. Rita Hobbs, having been hexed in the first book, is still invisible to the mundane (non-magical) world but is learning her way around the Uncanny (magical) community with all its zany inhabitants and insane disregard for basic physics. Always the detective, she is drawn into a murder investigation which requires her rapid introduction to the finer points of lycanthropy. Murder, madness, mayhem and even exorcism are now components of Rita’s typical workday. Can she stop the master werewolf from killing off all of Blackpool’s wizards? Can she find a way to nullify the hex that renders her invisible? Will her magic axe help her fight an evil angel? I am certainly looking forward to finding out what the authors have in store for Rita in the next story. My recommendation: clear a bit of time in your schedule to relax and enjoy this brilliant gem of urban fantasy.
If you choose to listen to the audiobook, be advised that the narrator, Millie Jones, is the perfect choice for Rita Hobbs and she does a fantastic job with all the other characters, as well. Her performance brings the story and the characters to life and enhances the overall enjoyment of the book.
While I did purchase a copy of this book, I was provided with the audiobook version by the authors and I am voluntarily offering my honest and unbiased review.

This is a fantastic read. This is fast paced and action packed. A great Detective read and Rita is on the case. There are twists and turns everywhere. I love these type of reads there like putting a puzzle together. The Narrator does a Fantastic job at bringing out the different voices. I definitely recommend.
