A Little Too Familiar

by Lish McBride

A Little Too Familiar drops you right into the wonderfully chaotic life of Louise, an apprentice animal mage, whose routine gets delightfully upended when a new roommate moves in. Declan is handsome, a bit broody, and happens to be a wolf-shifter — a creature whose very presence makes Louise's magic go haywire. The book has this charming, cozy feel, like settling in with a new favorite sitcom, but with genuine stakes and a clever magic system. You will find yourself laughing at the witty banter, rooting for the slow-burn, 'enemies-to-lovers' dynamic, and absolutely adoring the found family of witches and magical creatures. It is perfect for readers who love their urban fantasy light, genuinely funny, and packed with heart, especially if you enjoy a good 'past coming back to haunt you' plotline without getting too heavy.
