I loved Elizabeth Hunter's Elemental Mysteries series and this short story shows a promising start to her new Cambio Springs novels.

I don't know if I'm annoyed or impressed that a 20-something page novella had me boo-hooing on 2 (possibly 3) separate occasions. Probably impressed . . .

Long Ride Home is a short story that is anything but short on story. Within the twenty-five pages is conversation so poignant between Jena and her husband, Lowell, that I couldn't help feeling overcome with a profound sense of what they had lost as a couple with his predetermined death. For even in death, Low was a remarkable character. His ghostly wisdom and the love he felt for Jena and their sons transcended his mortal being. I think what I love most about Elizabeth Hunter's writing is her ability to make me forget that her characters are anything but human. In the minutes it took me to read Long Ride Home I experienced a gamut of emotions, and empathy the likes of which only Ms. Hunter's remarkable preternatural characters can conjure.

A great introductory novella with a neat little twist at the end. I can't wait to read the first book.
