Description
Readers of Seanan McGuire, Ilona Andrews, and Ben Aaronovitch will devour this gory story—and the sweet-as-Canadian-maple-syrup sapphic romance at its monstrous heart
Tam hasn’t eaten anyone in years.
She is now Mama’s soft-spoken, vegan daughter—everything dangerous about her is cut out.
But when Tam’s estranged Aunt Tigress is found murdered and skinned, Tam inherits an undead fox in a shoebox, and an ensemble of old enemies.
The demons, the ghosts, the gods running coffee shops by the river? Fine. The tentacled thing stalking Tam across the city? Absolutely not. And when Tam realizes the girl she’s falling in love with might be yet another loose end from her past? That’s just the brassy, beautiful cherry on top.
Because no matter how quietly she lives, Tam can’t hide from her voracious upbringing, nor the suffering she caused. As she navigates romance, redemption, and the end of the world, she can’t help but wonder…
Do monsters even deserve happy endings?
With worldbuilding inspired by Chinese folklore and the Siksiká Nation in Canada, LGBTQIA+ representation, and a sapphic romance, Aunt Tigress is at once familiar and breathtakingly innovative.

What a glorious, glorious urban fantasy. So inventive and so unique. A wonderful read, with beautiful gay couple. Thank you author and please write more. Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for an ARC.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it uses the fantasy element in a way that worked. I was invested in the mythology perfectly and how everything was used in this universe. The characters were everything that I wanted and expected, I was invested in their story and how it worked in this. It had that crime element that I was wanting. Emily Yu-Xuan Qin wrote this perfectly and was glad I got to read this.

quite interesting. a very mythologically-themed sapphic romance with elements from some of my favorite mythologies. Aunt Tigress was a very interesting focal-ish character, and our protagonist was so fun to watch! the vibes were immaculate in all ways. 4 stars, tysm for the ARC, would recommend this book!
