All of my life I, Maggie Parks, couldn’t wait to get my very own familiar.
After all, my mama has an ornery cat named Riule, Gilbert the macaw is my
sister’s, Lilith, and Ms. Kitty the owl is my Auntie Meme’s.
I guess I should explain that I’m a witch and a familiar is
usually an animal or supernatural spirit that will aid a witch in performing
magic. Simple, right? Wrong!
Vinnie. My familiar’s name is Vinnie. Now, I don’t know about you, but that name sounds to me like Vinnie
is somewhat outspoken, do what I want kinda name. Not only is my familiar’s
name is Vinnie, but to make matter worse, Vinnie is a 1965 classic red AC
Cobra. Can you get a car that screams muscle car?
You got it. Vinnie is my snarky familiar. Just how is Vinnie
going to help me get out of my predicament where I’ve been thrown into helping
Agent Mick Jasper, undercover agent for SKUL, a little-known division of Interpol
– the Secret Keepers of the Universal Laws, figure out how to fix his
investigation when I’m the one who messed it up by botching up a silly little
spell after I lost a bet with Lilith playing Truth or Spell.
Spies and Spells, the first in this highly anticipated new series from USA Today Bestseller Tonya Kappes is now available!
While Maggie waits for her Witchy Hour, she words at the family diner with her mom, Aunt Meme, and Lilith, her sister-all witches. Soon Maggie gets entangled with a mysterious handsome stranger, Mick Jasper, and his secret U.S. organization, SKUL. Has she found her calling?

If I were to be a familiar, I am quite sure I would pick to be a cat. I have three cats and let's face it - they have a sweet life. I think river otters are just about some of the coolest animals, but I'm not sure how practical that would be! grin.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win! kristin409(at)comacast(dot)net
Hahaa! I have Kitty Kappes. She'd no sooner help me than a fuzz ball. AND it's because she does have a sweet life :) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI would love to have a cat since I love them so much but if I couldn't I think maybe a owl
DeleteI would pick either a cat or a dog. :)

Oh! A dog is a good one too!
DeleteI love the idea of a car as a familiar. I think mine would be a Komodo Dragon.

Good one!!!
DeleteI'd have a cat for a familiar and that cat would probably be Siamese or a black cat. Anyone who has had a cat would probably tell you, there is some thing about a cat which makes them seem spiritual, magical and all knowing. dbahn@iw.net
ReplyDeleteMy Kitty Kappes.....she definitely wouldn't help me....she's her own gig.
DeleteMy familiar would be my dog, Rusty. He's always by my side and we've always called him a Magician, because he seems to make things disappear! Thankyou for the opportunity! Jill Broussard; minishoes@msn.com
ReplyDeleteHahaa!! I love that!! He just might be a familiar with his mad skills ;)
DeleteIf I was a familiar I would be a cat. I have a black cat and loves cats in general. Seriously they are independent but when they want love they will let you know. Just like me LOL. maryellen_fink@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteIf I could have a familiar I'd want it to be a crow, I'm fascinated with them they seem so wise. I'd also like the crow to transform to a human because I want them to be around in normal situations as well.
ReplyDeleteI'd have a cat as my familiar. I always had a cat growing up, but in adult life cannot have one due to my children's allergies. Cats are quiet and mysterious, but have such boisterous personalities when they feel the need to let it out. I feel like I'm thexpected same way. I could be a sneaky orange tabby.
ReplyDeleteI think if I had a familiar it would be a 64 Mustang cause I love that car and I am allergic to animals. Loved the book and would love the coloring book. Thanks Tonya

ReplyDeleteI would have a Raven. I love them. Every time I see one I remember Peter Lorre as the sarcastic bird in the movie (The Raven). Makes me giggle just to think of it.
ReplyDeleteSince we have people on the family who are allergic to cats and dogs I think I'd have to go with a parrot.

Definitely my kitty named Bell (short for Jrixinell
ReplyDeleteI think I would pick a bird. As a cat owner, I don't think I would trust my cat. She would probably play tricks on me.
ReplyDeleteI would choose a cat as a familiar, a black cat. I have one, who thinks he is a familiar LOL. He follows me everywhere, and I swear he tries to talk to me, and he appears out of nowhere sometimes. Cats are so magical and beautiful, they are the best! dnrocker@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI would have to choose a cat because I am such a cat lover!
ReplyDeleteI'd pick either a dog or cat. Love them! lkleback@hotmail.com

ReplyDeleteA dragon. If I had a familiar it would be a dragon. Then if any baddies attacked, I could fry their asses. Also great transport.
ReplyDeleteI would want my familiar to be a Kola Bear or a kangaroo! Something different and out of the ordinary! doward1952@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteWhat type of familiar would I like, hmmm, I think a mouse would be interesting. They are small enough to hide, smart enough to help out where needed, and don't require much space to live in. It's name would be Tom Thumb. Thanks for the giveaway. robeader53@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI would like a dog, of course a mini schnauzer like my Mattie. She's always with me so she'd always be there to help me. Her favorite magic is love. She seems to be able to make everyone love her. Thanks for the giveaway . kphans08@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI would pick a cat for a familiar. They just seem to be made to be a familiar. Great post and giveaway.
