Synopsis

This is the first in a series of read-in-any-order mystery urban fantasy books, each featuring a different cast of characters but set in the same universe, called OCCULT MISADVENTURES.

After years of helping his father fight the monsters that killed his mother, Jules is ready to step out of his role of being a glorified errand boy for his dad and his vampire-hunting crew.

But when the idea is quickly shot down for the second time, Jules lets one drink to blow off steam domino into accidentally becoming a vampire’s familiar overnight.

And the biggest problem is that he can’t remember what happened.

With tensions high after his father discovers the possibility of a vampire spy in their midst, Jules scrambles to keep his mark a secret and prove himself to the entire crew by hunting down his vampire, following every clue that feels familiar.

A thrilling comedy of errors with the magnetic charm of late ‘90s and early ‘00s vampire movies, a brilliant journey in the company of the most relatable protagonist you will ever read. Absolutely delightful.
— Freddie A. Clark, author of Umbra: Tales of a Shadow

Familiar is a fun, fast-paced, and nostalgic ride that I simply couldn’t put down!
— S. Jean, author of Errant Wings

This book was so much fun to read. With a razor-sharp narrative voice and a plot that’ll give you whiplash, FAMILIAR is everything I love in a mystery—especially with vampires! If you need something fast paced to break your reading slump, you’ve got it right here.
— T.L. Morgan, author of Silver Blood
