'I've always really liked the way that Hunt creates the worlds that her characters inhabit, and the characters themselves - women living lives with physical and mental toughness that is both admirable and believable. Hopefully this series will continue to expand, along with the Nyx series. As a fan of both of these characters I'm not asking for a lot...'

KIM'S LATEST RELEASE
THE CORRECTOR
Be careful who you cross.
The first in a debut series set in Aotearoa New Zealand, introducing reluctant hero Evin Hart who's forced to risk every thing.
Audio & paperback
'Fascinating central character'
Karen Chisholm, AustCrime reviewer & Australian Crime Writers Association committee
'The story hooks you from the moment a park ranger makes a grisly discovery. The
protagonist's determination and grit, combined with a cast of small-town characters harboring dark secrets, make for a page-turning read that expertly balances police procedure with personal stakes. The plot twists keep you guessing until the very end, while the exploration of long-buried trauma adds a layer of depth that lingers long after
the final chapter.'
5 star Amazon review
CAL NYX SERIES #3
THE FREEZER
They thought they'd
gotten away with it.
Until now.
A historic death and a murderer who’s managed to evade justice. Join Nyx and Scobie in their dogged pursuit of a bold predator with everything to lose.
Audio & paperback
'A well balanced combination of extremely good characters, a very solid and intriguing plot, great atmosphere and some well placed social commentary into the bargain, The Quarry tackles quite a bit and achieves all of it with considerable flair.'
Karen Chisholm, AustCrimeFiction.org
'Kim Hunt delivers again a great book with The Quarry. Cal Nyx is a fierce, flawed, and unforgettable protagonist navigating a high-stakes chase through the raw Australian landscape. The plot moves fast, the dialogue cuts deep, and the emotional stakes are real. Grit, suspense, and humanity in perfect balance, this series deserves a bigger spotlight.'
5 star Amazon review
CAL NYX SERIES #2
THE QUARRY
Life on the margins just got
a whole lot scarier.
A coded message pulls Ranger Nyx from the vast solitude of the NSW bush reserves into a chaotic series of road trips.
Can she save the one and only person who truly gets her?
Audio & paperback
'Cal Nyx is a somewhat dark character in that she has this innate mysterious air about her. You can't help but wonder about her past and want to unravel all those character layers that make up the armor she has around herself. The mystery plot
is engaging, but as a reader, I found that Cal is a greater mystery... The writing style is beautifully economical....descriptive statements that are to the point, constantly propelling the storyline.
There is no redundancy, no irrelevant sidelines that take the reader's attention away from the core plot. It marries perfectly with the character of Cal.'
5 star Amazon review
'What a talent this new-to-me author is! I have the audiobook and now the hardcover. Refreshing to read a female author who writes in such a kickarse,
barebones style. I loved the pace, and setting: inner west Sydney and the National parks that surround it. It is a hard-boiled love affair with the Australian
landscape and the diverse cultures of inner city Sydney. Throw in a butch/femme romance, a lot of burnt rubber and I am in heaven!'
