About this eBook

Six supernatural besties fighting their fates in NYC: A witch whose spells misfire, a wizard who keeps falling for the wrong species, a vampire who longs to be adored, a dragon shifter who can’t shift, a werewolf without a pack, and a demon-spawn bent on being good… 


Minerva Lucent has always wanted to be just like her late father: a guardian, defender of NYC from the demonic threat. She’s spent her whole life trying to secure a spot, but so far, she’s still stuck as a magical beat cop. It’s not that she hates cleaning up after the boozy vampires and miscreant werewolves. 


It’s just not inspiring. 


But when the guardian she’s crushed on for years spills about a rare opening on their force, she resolves to do anything she can to snag it for herself. If that means she has to rally her friends and do something a little crazy, well. 


She’s prepared to do anything


Including blowing all her savings on an exotic fire lizard egg she hopes to bond. As usual, her plans misfire in a big way, and she winds up bonding a flying rat—the last creature anyone in NYC would ever want as a familiar. What’s worse, Giggles the pigeon won’t stay in her cage. When Minerva’s bestie from high school shows up in dire straits, a choice must be made. Will she secure her promotion or save her friend from an unwanted marriage? 


Publisher's Weekly said My Pigeon Familiar is, "a delightful, character-driven fantasy novel about a group of supernatural friends helping to prevent an unwanted wedding, and it will no doubt bewitch readers with its entrancing plot and relatable cast."


This book was previously published as Mates: Minerva. If you are one of my superfans who bought it under that title, don't re-purchase it. It's exactly the same book, but hopefully with a better blurb and title/cover. ;)

Bridget Baker knocks it out of the park with this new Urban Fantasy book. Mates gives me Harley Merlin vibes with its band of misfit creatures. I love how you can tell the different voices of each character in their chapters and that you get some new insights to things happening but also all new information. I couldn’t put the book down. I can’t wait for the next book in the series. This might be my new favorite!

A new series to read! I loved this book. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and their relationships with one another. Such a fascinating look at what life might be like if we lived among a variety of supernatural creatures hiding in plain sight. It was also interesting to see the relationships develop and begin to understand each character's motivation and how it impacts their decisions. There are some subtle nods to another well known group of FRIENDS living in New York City, and that added another layer to think about! It didn't end quite like I expected, but that's not such a bad thing that I couldn't predict it. Surprises can be fun, and I'm already counting down to book two in this series!

If you like supernatural misadventures, you'll absolutely love this book! It's like taking Friends throwing it into an urban fantasy and making everyone some sort of supernatural creature. How can you go wrong? Bridget wrote characters that are relatable and impossible not to love! Every character has their own drama, and in this book you get to mainly see the story of Minerva, who, honestly, is basically the center of the group. You will fall in love with each and every one.

About the author

Bridget has way too many animals, and they keep her from writing as fast as she'd like. She mostly loves them anyway. She also has more kids than is wise. Really, the only smart thing she did was marry her husband, even though he's bald.
