Fate, Frankincense & Funerals by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Jaimie Salmon-Colburn

Fate, Frankincense & Funerals by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My only complaint about this short story is that it was to short!! I wanted to keep reading about this Vulture shape shifter, who is sent to help a dying soul, in a city that his “kind” is banned from! Feeling a pull and restlessness, he makes the dangerous journey to Mandara to help the soul come to peace and move on, but man is he in for a few surprises!! Because vultures touch the dead they are shunned and it’s forbidden for them to take mates. But fate always throws some twists in life when you least expect! So what happens when the soul he’s helping has a couple dying wishes that go against all the rules and also holds some secrets of their own?! Will this young Vulture do his job and make a record of her life and her secrets!? Will the soul get her wishes and pass peacefully? Will the cities’ people find the forbidden Vulture in their city and take the law into their own hands? Can they fight what society deems wrong and overcome the hatefulness many have towards them? Ushering souls to move on is their job, yet they are outcasts because of it. This Vulture has many things to overcome, but will he be able to? I hope the author write more! I can totally see this short turned into a series!! I LOVED IT!!!!!
