What it is

The mountain town of Libusen, West Virginia looks like a cuckoo clock and smells like death. Nick and Tiffany drove straight into it anyway.

Monster hunters for hire, fueled by Waffle House and each other, they're used to low-level threats and manageable chaos. Their mysterious benefactor Anastasia had other plans. Libusen has a problem: people are vanishing without a trace, leaving nothing behind but the sound of gnawing teeth.

The locals have protection—or they did. Moira Orchard is a Canadian tattoo artist with no visible ink and a guilty conscience. She's been etching protective sigils into the town's residents for months. Something in those mountains found her magic, learned its frequency, and turned it into a dinner bell. Now the people she marked are the ones disappearing.

Nick and Tiffany have faced dark things before. Whatever is hunting Libusen is something else entirely—and it brought friends.

Hex Kittens 2 is an urban fantasy monster-hunting adventure featuring sigil-based tattoo magic, Southern Gothic atmosphere, a trio of morally-complicated protagonists, and horror-edged humor that doesn't flinch. Part of the Fateforged universe—but fully accessible as a standalone listen, no homework required.

Perfect for fans of urban fantasy monster hunting, paranormal adventure with dark humor, and magic systems built into skin.
