"You do realise," he whispered, his hand reaching up to brush my hair from my face. He began twining a strand around one of his fingers. "That you are my most magnificent obsession." Magnificent obsession. I think I liked that. I certainly understood it. He was mine too.


Confronted with yet another curve ball, Lucinda finds herself in Álfheimr at the mercy of the Dökkálfa. And the Fey have unusual rules, rules which even the Dark Fairies like to stretch.

Throwing herself into the political machinations of her hosts, Lucinda must negotiate her release.

But what could the Dökkálfa monarch want that would mean Lucinda's freedom?

Never one to have the patience for politics, Lucinda must adapt to new environments and new challenges, not just from the Fairies, but from all sides now. An old enemy rises to do more harm than good, forcing Lucinda to confront depths of loss she thought long buried.

Struggling with her physical well-being, battling a political world that is now her home, and working against a powerful, devious and underhand enemy, Lucinda must draw on all her Light to succeed.

However she is not alone. She is watched over by the spirit of a dragon.

But everyone knows, the kiss of the dragon is as lethal as its flame.

"Wow! An amazing end to an amazing series. A must read for all PNR and UF fans. This is one of my all time favourites and I still don't understand why Nicola Claire is not better known, in my opinion her books are just as good as, if not better than than other great authors such as Patricia Briggs, Chloé Neill, Ilona Andrews and J. R. Ward." ~ Lisa (Goodreads #132 Top Reviewer)


"OMG. I have loved this series from the start, and the way everything was all wrapped up in the end was phenomenal...Now I can't wait to see what other stories Nicola has out there." ~ Kyra Dunst (Author of Severed Bonds)


"Perfect. Just perfect. Love finding new authors to add to my list." ~ Michelle Bookloverforever (Goodreads #24 Top Reviewer)

    A week after finishing the Kindred series it's still with me. I'm hooked. This review is for the entire series.

    I'd rate the first book slightly lower purely because in the first person it was more difficult to get to know Michel, but the rest of the series is 5 star all the way. I'm totally impressed that the author could maintain such a high standard through this number of full length novels.

    It is a gripping roller coaster of a journey, heartbreaking at times. Sacrifices made by several characters had me in tears on more than one occasion. Samson - I sobbed - I hope things work out with him and Georgia. The characters developed and matured in the most satisfying way. I loved Michel's vulnerability as well as his strength and it was nice to get his viewpoint in the bonus chapters at the end. He's right up there in my top 3 heroes of all time. I liked Lucinda as well. Although once or twice I wanted to shake her I could understand what was motivating her actions and believed the sincerity of them. In the end I felt they were truly worthy of each other.

    A very satisfying ending but gosh I'd like to read more.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2013

    This series was wonderful. There was true character evolution and really HOT vampires. The heroine was strong, but not so strong that she didn't need her kindred. It is rare that an author can balance strength and vulnerability in a way that is credible and makes sense. The vampire was dominant yet yielding when it came down to meeting his kindred needs. There are some episodes of expressions of love that I have found to be unmatched in the vampire literature. Believe me I read a lot. It is kind of an obsession. I loved that way this ended, but I would love for the author to continue this series. I would love to see Lucinda being challenged with jealousy from another women. Maybe someone special from Michel past? Miss Claire well done. This is officially my vampire series.

    I rarely ever write reviews for Kindle reads, but I felt compelled to praise Nicola Claire's Kindred series. I am an avid reader of paranormal romance, and this series is, by far, one of the best I've ever read. I fell in love with her charactes, and I commend Claire for her ability to make the reader feel for her characters (one of my pet peeves for any good read). I absolutely adored this series and would reccommed it to anyone up for a long, action packed, paranormal romance series. Although Claire's conclusion the the Kindred series had me aggravated to no end, I still felt it was a poetic conclusion to Lucinda's story. This series will always be in my top ten best paranormal romance novels ever read.

    I want to apologise for my last review, I don't normally write a review,but I have to say that I was very mad on book 5,and thought that I wasn't going to read the rest of this series ,but couldn't help myself,I had to find out what happened.I have to say that I loved this series , this was a great vampire book I am really hoping that she writes another one,she kinda left it open. Please Mrs. Claire if you see my review please think about it. My favorite part in this series was Michel. The way she wrote about all the vampire stuff was what I really like in a vampire book,naughty,bitting,sex mind reading,it consumed me.

    This series of books keeps you waiting from more. One of the best super natural series I have ever read ! I wish the series of Michael and Lucinda would keep going so much more of a story of their lives that I don't think the series could ever end! The only downfall of book 8 is that it leaves you hanging wanting more !!! Nicola Claire has become or of my favourite authors! Just hope that she writes more of the Kindred series.

    What can I say about this series but they have continually surprised enthralled me etc etc just when I think I know what's going to happen next I find I'm totally wrong and the plot gets better and better the twist and turns are incredible I find I'm holding my breathing thinking it can't be happening then cheering the charitors are brilliant intresting you find yourself besides them so drawn into the book the imagination of Nicola Claire it's like she knows the charitors really exist all your childhood stories in adult form I cannot recommend this series too highly I thought Harry Potter was amazing but this series eclipses them if you thought The twilight series is the best vampire romance you are sadly wrong being with a vampire doesn't mean you have to become one read the Kindred Series there's Vampires, love, fairies, and human vampire killers a totally different slant on vampire and half human joining

    Loved the story, loved the characters in all the books. A different take on a familiar story and in my opinion this series is one of the best. A little too much of the sex which was a bit boring after a while, although it did not distract from how very good the story is. I highly recommend! Sad to see it end.

    Loved the storyline I guessed what was happening to Luce, but still enjoyed the ending. I didn't want it to end.
    Hope Nicola Claire writes a little bit more of Michel and Luce's story.
