Casper, with a magical compass in hand, hits the road to find his spark. He’s not sure what to expect but he certainly isn’t prepared for his spark, Ray, to not know that she’s living in a world surrounded by the supernatural. Casper’s determined to do everything in his power to help Ray embrace her magic.
Zeke is a banshee who helps usher ghosts into the afterlife. The last thing he’s expecting is to find his true mate during one of these hunts. As happy as Zeke is, he can’t help but worry how his mate will react when Casper learns he’s mated to a monster.
Embracing Magic is book two in A Collection of Familiars. This MM book features a platonic familiar/spark bond, true mates, a lion familiar falling for a banshee, self acceptance, mpreg, and of course a happily ever after!

About the Author
Prologue
Casper
My stomach flips as I stare down at the compass in my hand. I can’t stop thinking about what the future is going to hold for me, the future that this compass is pointing me towards. My mind is racing a million miles an hour and there’s no slowing it down in sight.
As a familiar, I’ve been thinking about finding my spark since I was a little boy. I can’t speak for my cousins, but I’m almost positive they’ve been looking forward to meeting their magical counterpart as much as I am. In order to help us find our sparks, our grandmother gifted us this magical compass, enchanted to lead us to them.
Jude, our oldest cousin, found his spark and his true mate within the same night of using the compass while one of my other cousins, Willow, found his spark after five years of looking.
Will my journey be quick like Jude’s? Or will it take years?
I flip onto my stomach, tucking the compass under my pillow so I don’t keep myself awake all night staring at it. I can hear people downstairs talking. It’s been about a week since Eileen, Willow and Callan’s daughter, was born.
Harbor, Bently, and I wanted to be with Jude and Willow for Eileen’s birth so we decided to take a pit stop on our road trip to visit the place Jude has set down roots. His spark and mate are both retired hunters who run a hunting network these days. Don’t ask me how but Jeff, their unofficial leader, acquired this cul-de-sac for their group. One of those houses just so happens to be a large guest home that we’re currently staying in.
If hunting pays this much, maybe I should look into it.
