“Strange Familiars is my exact brand of catnip, featuring brilliant academic rivals, magical university, and cheeky animal sidekicks stealing every scene. And let’s talk about the romantic tension between Gwen and Harrisford – sizzling, with gorgeous ebbs and flows between wanting and hating, sacrifice and treachery. Chow’s world-building is fabulous and imaginative, with a frighteningly accurate exploration of what magic might look like in our late stage capitalism world. Animal lovers will adore the familiars and the accuracy of the veterinary medicine scenes. Percy stole my heart. An absolute delight!”—Brigitte Knightley, New York Times bestselling author of The Irresistible Urge To Fall For Your Enemy
