The Familiars by Stacey Halls
5.0
I only recently heard of The Familiars and I'm not sure what I was expecting exactly, but I was pleasantly surprised. I was hooked in after reading the first chapter. And when I read the following passage, I knew I was in for a treat.
"No. Fleetwood, have you knowledge of a familiar spirit?" I shook my head. "Then I will direct you to the gospel according to Leviticus. In short, it's the Devil in disguise. An instrument, if you will, to enlarge his kingdom. This witch is a dog, but they can appear as anything-an animal, a child. It appears to her when she needs it to do her bidding, and she told it last week to lame John Law. A familiar is the surest sign of a witch."
I didn't want to put this book down. There was no OMG moment in this book, but the way it was written just made you want to keep reading. I found it to be a real page-turner.
