familiars (spirits)

When Hailey and her four fellow Mythics set out to find her mythical beast familiar and fight a powerful villain along the way, she realizes what it means to be part of a team.

"In the magical world of Alpi, divine spirits are the source of all life, communities living in harmony under their protection. However, when their lives end, a terrible curse drives them to evil, and these malign spirits must be sent to the afterlife by the soul senders. Alpi is one such girl, talented despite her young age, and assisted by her familiar Perenai!"--Back cover.

Patty and Norman are hot on the trail of Patty's father, but they aren't the only ones after dear old dad--thanks to a large bounty on his head, every bounty hunter in the devil world is after him! Can Patty find her wayward father before it's too late?.

When the devil girl Patty finds she is too weak to summon an animal familiar, she chooses a human instead--Norman Volcanello--an eccentric guy with a dangerous fascination with exotic life forms, then as Patty and Norman set out to find her missing father, an offbeat adventure begins.

"Patty, Norman, and Lasanil have traveled to the Dragon Bone Islands in search of Patty's dad, but instead of finding him they bump into a figure from Norman's past! Otto is an old military buddy of Norman's from the Human World...and he absolutely hates devils. But when Patty and the others end up stuck in a haunted village, human and devil alike must work together to escape"--Back cover.
