Description

Six supernatural besties fighting their fates in NYC: A witch whose spells misfire, a wizard who keeps falling for the wrong species, a vampire who longs to be adored, a dragon shifter who can't shift, a werewolf without a pack, and a demon-spawn bent on being good…

Minerva Lucent has always wanted to be just like her late father: a guardian, defender of NYC from the demonic threat. She's spent her whole life trying to secure a spot, but so far, she's still stuck as a magical beat cop. It's not that she hates cleaning up after the boozy vampires and miscreant werewolves.

It's just not inspiring.

But when the guardian she's crushed on for years spills about a rare opening on their force, she resolves to do anything she can to snag it for herself. If that means she has to rally her friends and do something a little crazy, well.

She's prepared to do anything.

Including blowing all her savings on an exotic fire lizard egg she hopes to bond. As usual, her plans misfire in a big way, and she winds up bonding a flying rat—the last creature anyone in NYC would ever want as a familiar. What's worse, Giggles the pigeon won't stay in her cage. When Minerva's bestie from high school shows up in dire straits, a choice must be made. Will she secure her promotion or save her friend from an unwanted marriage?

Publisher's Weekly said My Pigeon Familiar is, "a delightful, character-driven fantasy novel about a group of supernatural friends helping to prevent an unwanted wedding, and it will no doubt bewitch readers with its entrancing plot and relatable cast."

This book was previously published as Mates: Minerva. If you were one of the superfans who bought and read it, you will NOT want to buy it again. Only the cover/blurb/title have changed.

    So this read is just FUN! I loved this urban fantasy take on FRIENDS. A group of misfits who have very different career paths and personalities have enough in common to be comfortable friends who can walk on in each other’s places and crash on the couch. The main character of this book in the series is Minerva, a witch with a good heart who is trying her very best to follow her father’s supercop legacy. She wants to be a Guardian and protect the supernaturals who are not always treated the way they should be. After many failed attempts her goal and a hunky potential love interest are in sight! A former friend whose life could not be more different lands back in the picture and upsets the balance of the mostly predictable life Minerva and her friends have been living. Now it’s waking up with a princess roomie and pigeon poop on the bedspread. Can’t wait to see what misadventures await the crew in the next book!
  • Love this book so much!

    Bridget Baker knocks it out of the park with this new Urban Fantasy book. Mates gives me Harley Merlin vibes with its band of misfit creatures. I love how you can tell the different voices of each character in their chapters and that you get some new insights to things happening but also all new information. I couldn’t put the book down. I can’t wait for the next book in the series. This might be my new favorite!
