Pepper Neely
is no stranger to dangerous situations. In The Supernatural Pet Sitter: The
Magic Thief, the young gnome defeated an evil witch who was stealing magic
from the Familiars that Pepper took care of. She wouldn’t have survived without
the intervention of a pack of werewolves, who endured painful, fiery spells to
save Pepper’s life.
Now Pepper is
determined to repay the werewolves for their sacrifice, no matter what it
takes. She decides to break the centuries-old curse that keeps them in wolf
form. At first she keeps her plans a secret, but it’s not long before Pepper
realizes she will need all the help she can get to end this curse. Magic is everywhere
as enemy witches cast dangerous spells to stop Pepper.
Pepper and her family must trust the local witches and work together with
them to fend off the deadly spells, find the curse, and break it—before the
hostile witches get the best of them.

Scattered around the room were seven
women, including Momma Fran and Maggie. An older version of Maggie nodded to
them. “Welcome, Neelys. As you know, I am Naomi, of the Samson coven. We have
gathered in response to your request to meet. So without further delay, I
invite you to speak.”
Here
I go. Pepper wished she hadn’t eaten that sandwich a few minutes ago, as
there was a fifty-percent chance she was about to throw it up, right here. She
felt as if she had argued her case a thousand times. Hopefully this would be
the last. She tried to think of the wolves as she took a deep breath around the
lump in her throat.
Pepper
stepped forward and began, “Thank you, Naomi of the Samson coven. I am Pepper
Neely of the Neely gnomes. As you know, several months ago, a witch named Kale
was caught stealing magic from Familiars. She was caught, in part, thanks to me
and my brother, Jax. When she escaped, she came after me, Jax, and my friend,
Luna, who is also a witch.” Keep reminding them Luna was saved also.
“Luna
was nearly killed by Kale. But instead, three wolves attacked Kale, saving all
three of us. The wolves took great risks in doing this, and they were set on
fire several times, giving us time to get away. I know without a doubt that the
wolves saved Luna, myself, and my brother. I have taken on a blood-debt to pay
them back. As part—” Pepper didn’t get to finish before the witches started
talking.
“What
does that have to do with us?”
“The
werewolves are our enemies; nothing will change that.”
“Do
you even know what that means? How can your parents—”
“EXCUSE
ME!” A male voice from behind Pepper cut through the chaos. It took Pepper a
moment to realize it wasn’t her dad or brother. Everyone quieted instantly,
looking behind the Neelys. The male voice continued, as a man stepped out into
view. “I believe Ms. Neely wasn’t finished.”
Mr.
O’Brien! The warlock had vanished after Kale had stolen the magic from from
his Familiar, King Arthur. Pepper had thought he needed time to heal from his
broken heart. He looked better than the last time she had seen him. He was
still thin, but his face didn’t seem as drawn or haunted.
Mr. O’Brien continued. “I apologize
for being late, but I believe my invitation was lost in the mail.”

Every
animal can talk to you. You just have to know how to listen. Pepper Neely is
better at this than most, especially because she is in charge of pet sitting
all the familiars in her neighborhood. A familiar is a pet magically linked to
a witch or warlock. As a gnome, Pepper is no stranger to spells and sorcery.
She also knows that, despite their special name, familiars aren't all that
different from regular animals. They get anxious when separated from their
people, so Pepper uses her special gnome powers to calm them down. She watches
Cranky the high-strung ferret, Frank the laid-back parrot, King Arthur the
elderly tortoise, and many others. Then, something terrible begins happening to
the familiars. Someone is stealing their magic! It not only prevents Pepper from
communicating with them but breaks their magical connection with their people.
When King Arthur's magic is stolen, his owner's powers stop working too. Pepper
can sense that the tortoise is very scared. In order to protect the animal's
magic, Pepper decides to track down the culprit. With the help of her best
friend, Luna, and her brother, Jax, Pepper fights to protect all of the special
pets.
