reviewed A Mage's Guide to Human Familiars by AJ Sherwood (R'iyah Family Archives, #1)

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

Yes, he's really a golden retreiver in human form

4 stars

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.
