Soon after a young witch has her first menses, tradition says that her magic begins to mature fully, and that part of this process is the arrival of her familiar. Except for Melody, that hasn't quite happened just yet. She always had thought of herself as a late bloomer, but her magical affirmation hasn't happened yet, and she thinks it might not happen for her at all. If only she could ask her mother, but her mother is passed and she has to rely on her quirky aunt to guide her through all of this. Despite this quandary, it's Melody’s favorite holiday, All Hallow's Eve, when the veil thins and the ghosts of lives passed can be seen. But when a tormented soul attaches himself to Melody, she might just need her magic to solve how he died. Hopefully it will come so she can help this poor guy to eternal peace. If that wasn't enough, her old high school crush, Colin MacAlister back in town. That's Detective MacAlister to Melody. He can only cast doubt when Melody is certain she knows who the murderer is. With a little bit of patience and the guidance of her aunt, Melody might just find her path to unlocking her magic. But until then, she's off exploring the strange and wonderful world of Hills Hollow with its secrets around every corner. Will her adventures lead her to unlock her own power or will she remain in the darkness? Will her familiar finally emerge? Only if she's Familiar with Murder.

This year, for Christmas, LA’s definitely feeling more jammed up than joyful. When someone infects human Santa Claus stand-ins with magic they can’t control, Christmas suddenly becomes more menacing than merry. The last thing LA needs is to deal with a disaster that might bring the whole human population to their doorstep with pitchforks and torches. She’s woefully behind on her gift shopping. Her Aunt Trudy is keeping secrets. And a certain, bossy police detective is definitely not what he seems. LA and Deg must work their way through a suspect list that includes some pretty heavy hitters in the magical and mythological realms, and find the proverbial strand of tinsel on the tree that leads to the troublemaker. It’s starting to look a lot like crisis, and a pair of rosy cheeks and a jolly giggle might not be enough to keep the Peace on Earth this year.

One of Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2020 (Mystery/Thriller) "From its gripping beginning to its sobering finale, Amy Engel's The Familiar Dark never fails to enthrall with surprising twists."–Associated Press A spellbinding story of a mother with nothing left to lose who sets out on an all-consuming quest for justice after her daughter is murdered on the town playground. Sometimes the answers are worse than the questions. Sometimes it's better not to know. Set in the poorest part of the Missouri Ozarks, in a small town with big secrets, The Familiar Dark opens with a murder. Eve Taggert, desperate with grief over losing her daughter, takes it upon herself to find out the truth about what happened. Eve is no stranger to the dark side of life, having been raised by a hard-edged mother whose lessons Eve tried not to pass on to her own daughter. But Eve may need her mother's cruel brand of strength if she's going to face the reality about her daughter's death and about her own true nature. Her quest for justice takes her from the seedy underbelly of town to the quiet woods and, most frighteningly, back to her mother's trailer for a final lesson. The Familiar Dark is a story about the bonds of family—women doing the best they can for their daughters in dire circumstances—as well as a story about how even the darkest and most terrifying of places can provide the comfort of home.
