Would you please get moving!!!!!

Starting with Fire Sanctuary, through Fires of Nuala and Hidden Fires, all of which I love and still have, onto this series, which leaves poor Ally with quite a way to go, I have followed KEK. She moves ve---rrrr------rrrrr----y slowly. Her stuff is so good, but it is hard to get new stuff when none is being written. I noticed that she has a new chapbook out, but that will just whet our appetites for more. Is it publishing problems? I am getting tired of publishers not advertizing their authors, then dropping them for low sales, especially when it is my favorite authors. Obviously, KEK is one of them and I hope she comes out with sequels to this series and even Nuala. We are hungry for more!
Worth the hunt

This is a great follow-up to the first novel (Night Calls). The pace set in the first book doesn't slacken, the characters feel right, the story is gripping, and the writing is so smooth as to be nearly invisible, like you're floating along in the story rather than translating words on a page into mental images. I picked it up one evening before dinnertime, and neglected to eat dinner and stayed up past my bedtime in order to finish it. I can't wait for the next book.
Wonderful

This book is wonderfully written. The themes are perfectly balanced, it has wonderful flow, and the story is interesting until the very last page. This author is one of the most talented I've come across in modern fiction, and I can't wait for her next book. KINDRED RITES is worth every penny, even with the extra fees to get it on special order. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is interest in the supernatural.
One of the best books about magic I've ever read.

I loved this book. I enjoyed it so much, I bought a copy for both sisters and my mom. We also loved "Night Calls". We're all eagerly awaiting more in this series.
Allie's back, Hooray! -- Sometimes Death is a better choice.

I love these books! Although Kindred Rites and Night Calls can be read as stand-alones, they are even more powerful when you read all of the story. Allie is tough, strong, smart, brave, and caring--- a great heroine. She is in even more danger in this book, for not just her life is in peril, her soul is too. A position as Death's apprentice is a much better choice than what awaits her otherwise. Skillful handling of myth, mountain lore and woodcraft, herbology, etc. Kimbriel has done her homework, and blends them all in with a strong plot, believable characters, and a clear clean writing style that delights. Enough terror to give you a jolt, enough strong writing to satisfy even the pickiest reader. READ THIS BOOK
