Release the Kraken

Iolani Lionheart has collected her mates (even if they don't all know it yet), claimed her chaos, and survived corrupt cops, missing supes, magical poisoning, floating labs, and feelings.

Now all she has to do is take her entire cult of lovers home to Michigan for the holidays at the request of her demon godfather. Piece of cake.

Except Io's demon godfather and goddess godmother have premonition and fate on their side, which means this family visit is definitely not about turkey, presents, or pretending her relatives are normal. The plot to sterilize supernaturals runs deeper than anyone wanted to admit, powerful people have been protecting the humans behind it, and the agents who came closest to exposing the truth have been driven underground.

Io's family would love to help, but officially they can't.

Unofficially, they have a very large house that needs house sitting, a suspiciously convenient job that takes them away, and one overpowered kraken-fae daughter willing to do what they promised not to.

With her lovers at her side, Io follows the conspiracy from Florida's poisoned water to Michigan's tainted air, uncovering an umbrella company, a vicious anti-supe cult, and a man arrogant enough to think he can summon and control a demon for his own genocidal little plans.

But stopping the bad guys may be easier than untangling the mess in her own home. Brier has history with Io's family, secrets he has been swallowing for years, and a goblin nature he can't keep starving without paying the price. The others are still finding their places with Io and with each other. And Io is learning that loving a whole cult of weirdos means making room for everyone's sharp edges, hungers, fears, and darkness.

Good thing she's always had excellent hoarding instincts.

The tentacles are coming out. The villains are going down. And if Io has her way, every last one of her ridiculous, damaged, wonderful monsters is getting a mansion, a future… and maybe even matching t-shirts.

Every cult needs merch.

Release the Kraken is the final book in the Kraken's Cult series, a snarky queer reverse harem paranormal romance with monster lovers, found family, tentacles, magical investigations, emotional chaos, save-the-day violence, and a hard-won HEA in the world of Gesa's Menagerie.
