One hundred and forty years ago, Harry, Edward, and Francis met an angel, a demon, and a sorceress while escaping imprisonment and worse! They emerged with a new family—and shapeshifting powers beyond their wildest dreams.

Now Harry and his brothers use their sorcery to rescue those enslaved in human trafficking—but Harry’s not doing so well. Pining for Suriel the angel has driven him to take more and more risks until his family desperately asks Suriel for an intervention.

In order for Suriel to escape the bindings of heaven, he needs to be sure enough of his love to fight to be with Harry. Back when they first met, Harry was feral and angry, and he didn’t know enough about love for Suriel to justify that risk. Can Suriel trust in Harry enough now to break his bonds of service for the boy who has loved his Familiar Angel for nearly a century and a half?

Available at Amazon.

I have been reading Amy Lane books forever. This young lady knows no boundaries, her abilities are endless! Did you know before she became ‘published and famous’ she began with stories that were like Fables?……A different land,  different people that did good, struggled for hearth and home?  I own those originals before she was acclaimed and had publishing and custom covers and edits. There was Whim, and Truth in the Dark, and Hammer and Air, after the Bitter Moon Series, Little Goddess….Few and far in-between her fabulous Contemporary works that you all know  Amy’s talent is creating a Fable.

Familiar Angel is woven on a canvas that is a work of art. Harry, Edward and Francis are brothers of the heart. Running from an Ogre, Edward and Harry protecting baby Francis

find themselves turned into three baby kittens by Emma using witchcraft trying to save her love Leonard. Whisked away in a handbag the three were in the right place at the right timeto begin an adventure that you only find in storybooks.

There is magic, and love and sharing and working hard For one hundred and forty years we watch Emma and Leonard raise their adopted ‘kids’ as the  boys powers emerge. Suriel, a bound angel comes to Earth called by Emma to be a teacher to the boys. He doesn’t come often but Harry waits for the next visit patiently. Now it is 140 years of wanting, yearning. Will Harry be enough for Suriel to fall?

This book is totally not what you may expect from Amy Lane. I wait for these, cherish them and hope for more.  A masterpiece.
