This awesome series is action-packed and full of paranormal mystery. Well written this is filled with witches, shape-shifting familiars, demons, angels and just about everything in between. Its fun, fast-paced with mysterious complex plots, relatable characters, and a world that will just grab you tight and not let you go, not that you will want to leave!
WOW – I was constantly changing my mind who I thought LA could trust in the Underworld. This is a great series that every cozy mystery lover should read!
This is an enjoyable paranormal cozy that has fun characters, a well thought out plot, and a perfect pace. The mystery/suspense was full of twists and not easily solved, and the humorous moments blended in seamlessly. There are also many different types of supes which adds extra spice to the story. All in all I would say that this is a must read for any paranormal cozy lovers.
I was anxiously awaiting this second installment in this Familiar series and I wasn’t disappointed. Another well written story starring L.A. and Deg that takes you on an edge of your seat adventure giving you a little bit of everything: drama, mystery, romance with a large dose of humor which makes it that much better. No spoilers, but know that if you love some paranormal (this one is a little different) with twists and turns, and fast paced, burn up your Kindle from swiping the pages type stories, this is the one for you! Some scary parts are present, and you’ll see they are totally necessary for the story to make sense, but you can get past it because it doesn’t taint you from moving on and finishing a COMPLETELY enjoyable book. Also, while your at it, go back and get the first one, Familiar Territory, if you haven’t read that one! Reading both will only hook you even more on this fabulous author. I am now anxiously awaiting the next installment.
The second book in the Reluctant Familiar Mysteries series and I want to read the next book. This is a book that had me smiling at some of the things that happened. A well-written story that held my interest until the end. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A very enjoyable, well written book that is a little different from this author’s usual fare, but no less excellent. Not the usual paranormal flavours, and it was a pleasure to read the unexpected.
Wonderful Cozy Paranormal Mystery
This is the second of a two book series. While it does stand alone okay, it would be better if you read the first book before the second. This second book leads into a third book without any sort of cliff hanger. This magic filled story has a multilayered plot that is very well executed. The characters are deep and well thought out. There are many twists in the story amid certain palace intrigue that it makes the story totally unpredictable. As with all of this author’s work, it is high quality work with a dash of humor. I received this ARC book for free and this is my honest opinion.
This book was AMAZING! If you want a book filled with demons, nephilim, witches, familiars, other dimensions, mystery and betrayal then you have to read this book! I love the I teleplay between LA and the sexy witch, Deg. I especially enjoy LA. She doesn’t realize her own strength and it is tested a lot! This book moves quickly. I was never bored and spared through it. The only down side…… I have to wait for the next book now Great job Sam!! I am never disappointed by any of your books
Familiar Territory #1 – Intense. Intriguing. Interesting. Fast paced. This well written story was hard to put down once started. The story line was rather interesting and a bit different from the usual paranormal mysteries. The characters were developed enough to understand them and their motives. I really like Posh and Mabel. Most of the characters are likable and all of their dialogues were realistic. The Web made for an interesting character, too. The Cheever humor is in evidence throughout the story. I’m looking forward to reading more by this interesting author. There’s an overview, which I appreciate knowing what the story is about before I read it. I contacted the author to review her books and she graciously gave me FT. 5*
A Familiar Problem #2 – Trudy’s castle is way too cool; I want one, too! Ms. Cheever’s vivid descriptions of people, places and things places you there in all the happenings, and she uses a casual, laid back style of “talking”, like you’re settin around gossiping. I love the character development of Trudy, so funny but so scary. My favorite character was Celeste; she was tough in more than one way – oops, translation: awesome.
This story warms up then hits the door running; fast paced and action packed, the story twists and turns until the last page. The emotions run the gamut from happy to sad to terrified amongst others. If you like Butcher, you’ll love Cheever. I found this book on Booksprout, yeah! 5*
Sam Cheever is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. Her stories are fun and easy to read. I love her characters and while Paranormal books were not my first preference, this series is changing my mind. This second book in this series was as much fun to read as the first. I know the rest will follow suit.
Wow. Racing along with them throughout the story. Had to get to the end so I could rest too. Action from the first page to the end. Amazing. No time to figure out who the ‘bad guy’ was.
This book stands alone very well. It can be read by itself.
This is my first in this series and thought the the book was the first also. However , I realized it could not be since the characters are really well developed and get along really well. that said I now have to go find the first book so I can understand how this familiar thing works in this paranormal / witch world. I also want more information on the characters.
this is my honest and freely given review. i received and ARC book.
LeeAnn (LA to her friends) discovers that the barriers between the human and paranormal worlds are being threatened. It is up to her and her friends to go into the realm of the Underworld on a secret mission by the Queen to find out who is behind the breach so they can be stopped. Rumor has it that her banished aunt is trying to create a multi-dimensional domination. Now LA and her friends find themselves fighting against the clock, never knowing who to trust.
This is the second book in the Reluctant Familiar Mystery series but can easily be read as a stand-alone. The author has created a wonderful mix of characters including familiars, witches, demons, nymphs, and so many more. While they are usually sworn enemies they all seem to come together for the common good knowing that each paranormal world needs to remain under its current order. My favorite character is LA the familiar (shifts into a cat) who is trusting, honest, strong, and doesn’t believe in failure.
The book has just the right amount of mystery, paranormal suspense, and even humor to entertain its reader.

Unfortunately, sorting those in favor and those opposed is not easy.
