“My Familiar” is about a girl named Nikki who experiences a lot of odd things before finding out what they all mean. Nikki cannot touch anyone of the opposite sex, except for her best friend, Robert, and her father; she has no idea why she can only touch him and her father. After her sister meets a guy, Nikki’s life completely changes as she learns why things are happening. Robert tries to convince Nikki that her sister’s boyfriend, Alerro, is evil and will put them in danger. He says that Alerro is not human. Nikki refuses to believe this, at least until Alerro turns into a wolf right before her eyes. Later, Nikki and her sister, Andrea, learn that they both suffer with the same curse. Not long after Nikki finds out about Alerro, she and her sister find themselves stuck in a room in a place they are not familiar with. Later, Nikki realizes that Alerro is not the evil one. Robert is. “My Familiar” takes you through a great adventure that you just can’t miss!!

In my opinion, “My Familiar” is a great book. It is well written and very easy to read. It’s also very easy to follow along with what is happening. My favorite part of this book is when Nikki had to kiss the frog at the end. This is because that part was very humorous and could make anyone laugh. I really like how “My Familiar” was one of the few books I have read that was not predictable. There are many twists throughout this story. This book is recommended for everyone! It’s a must read!
