Night Calls (Night Calls #1) - Katharine Eliska Kimbriel

Alfreda Sorensson, known by her friends and family as Allie, is your normal everyday girl in Michigan. She cooks, sews, runs the trap lines, learns about herbs and making beer, can hear werewolves.... Oh wait, that last one isn't normal? Allie was born into a family with a strong Gift, and she must learn to use it to protect her family and her town, because not using this Gift could end up killing those she loves dear.

As a Michigan native and a wiccan, I fell in love with this book, seeing the areas as they once were. And in a town where Allie's age could be held against her, the power inside instead brings her the strength and courage to face things beyond your darkest dreams.

I first read this book back in 2000 after a friend recommended Night Calls (and the second book, Kindred Rites) to me and lent me her copies. At that time, these books were out of print... I eventually was able to find a used set online in decent enough condition, and I hoped that someday they would be re-released again. Thankfully, the author was able to re-release them in 2014 so I know have ebook copies! Re-reading them now, it's great to see that they have stood the test of time: Allie is still as likeable as ever, the stories are still interesting to me, and I love how the author makes the characters come alive.
