4 stars (3 reviews)

One mage, Bel Adams – needs a familiar, gun shy about being rejected by one again.

One familiar, Nico di Rossi – Army Ranger, needs a change of pace and a new purpose in life.

Plus one familiar, Garen Dallarosa– Secret Service, needs his ex-lover Nico back.

One second chance – all for the taking.

A new series from an author who consistently writes funny romps, and this one doesn't disappoint. Was a smidge strange because I've read the human familiar series under her YA pen name, so I kept trying to compare them. There are similarities: a mage whose magic is constantly keeping their body functioning; a human familiar who loves nothing more than running into danger; the general feel of the various characters on their team. But they've been remolded in such a way that this is a different book entirely. Very much looking forward to the rest of the series.
