There were two things Hades was 100% sure of. 1. His best friend was NOT straight 2. He was absolutely, irrevocably in love with Persephone Goldstein When Hades first saw Persephone he knew it was over. Never mind any thoughts of dedicating himself to leading a revolution, he knew that she would be the one thought in the back of his mind forever. When she comes to him with a huge favour, he can do nothing but accept. Unfortunately, he is an eighteen-year-old emo literature student and she is waaaay out of his league. POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING.

What happens when you gather a large group of idiots together, put them in a townhouse on the edge of Vernazza and tell them to go wild? Apparently the answer is a goldfish named Greg, a murdered man in a beloved cafe under threat of closing who may or may not be a smuggler, a cryptid with an almost-law degree, a very angry journalist and a whole lot of bugger all. When Becky, Chloe, Connie, Finn, Irene, Vanessa, Samantha, Sammy and Owen find themselves tangled up in what they thought was a battle for a cafe but very quickly turned into a murder enquiry, they aren't particularly sure what to do. Fortunately for them, neither is anybody else. Illustrations by Chloe Fea and Sam McPhillips
