About this ebook

Something’s got a spaniel familiar’s tongue…and it isn’t a cat.


Charity Hughes is the first witch in more than a century to possess a gift like hers. She’s a “familiar whisperer” — someone who can communicate with other witches’ troubled familiars and resolve their problems.


When Darla Fitzgerald, an influential but abrasive witch, brings in her familiar, Milo, Charity runs into a barrier she’s never before encountered. The spaniel isn’t talking. At all. And when a potion to reveal Milo’s thoughts doesn’t work, Charity calls Darla to get more information...only to learn the woman has been found dead.


But that’s not the weird part. Though familiars always pass with their witches, Milo is hale and hearty. After something — or someone — attacks the dog, Charity desperately calls local vet (and secret crush) Noah Jenkins for help.


Now Charity is walking a double tightrope: How to manage her attraction to Noah without revealing the world of witches right under his nose...while trying to figure out who would go to any lengths — including dognapping — to ensure Milo stays silent as the grave.


Note: Spells and Spaniels is Book 1 in USA Today bestselling author Christine Pope’s newest series, “Familiar Spirits”. Contains a slow-burn romance that develops over the course of the series, a murder mystery of Olympic proportions, and an adorable cocker spaniel who needs his Wubby.

Milo was adorable, but the story was meh and I couldn't relate to Charity, as instead of being incredibly concerned about Milo, she was too busy making moves on Noah. Like, damn girl, that is just a man. Be more concerned about the poor dog that was abducted. Sure, did Charity want to find Milo, yeah. But often times she was distracted by her budding relationship with Noah, that I felt like Milo was the side plot and her relationship with Noah was the main story. It just didn't jive well with me. And the cliche with Noah's fiance had me rolling my eyes. It was entertaining enough though, so kudos for that.

New series off to an awesome start. Really enjoyed Charity and Milo’s interaction. Charity is a familiar whisperer….She problem solves for witches and their familiars. Milo is a dog….Noah is the “love” interest (at least until the last sentence in the book) and a veterinarian. The ending dropped a very large bombshell. Eagerly awaiting the next book in the series….August seems like a long way away. The magical goings on were educational, heart breaking and horrifying.

A light and interesting read. I enjoyed Charity and Milo's story. The plot was good and when Charity solved it i truly hadn't figured it out, so that earned this book another star
