Fantasy. Fiction. HTML:Werewolf Kitty Norville returns in this action-packed story of paranormal investigations, full moons, curses,and cults â?? sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas.
Kitty and Ben flee The City That Never Sleeps, thinking they are finished with the dangers there â?? but the sadistic cult of lycanthropes, led by a vampire priestess, has cursed Kitty in retaliation for the disruption of its rituals.
She enlists the help of a group of TV paranormal investigators â?? one of whom has real psychic abilities â?? to help her get to the bottom of the curse that's been laid on her. Rick, the Master vampire of Denver, believes a deeper plot lies behind the curse, and he and Kitty argue about whether or not to accept the help of a professional demon hunter â?? and vampire â?? named Roman, who arrives a little too conveniently in the nick of time.
Unable to rely on Rick, and unwilling to accept Roman's offer of help for a price, Kitty and her band of allies, including Vegas magician Odysseus Grant and Kitty's own radio audience, mount a trap for the supernatural being behind the curse, a destructive force summoned by the vengeful cult, a supernatural being that none of them eve

DAMMIT, I just lost everything I typed. *mopes*

I just read six of these in a row, and I think I'm done for now. I'll spare you separate reviews of all of them.

One of Vaughn's more... unique... writing traits is a tendency to wrap up major plotlines halfway or 75% of the way through the book. No way was that the end, you think, they only thought they defeated the baddie, and it's going to come roaring back when we least expect it. But no. The third book was a particularly strong example: you discover who, how, and a little of why, but in the end it isn't enough to save the day after all. It does serve to make a simple series of books a little less formulaic, so I don't really object.

I think my favorite remains the first one, with its unique take on domestic violence. When reading, you can generally spot an abusive relationship a mile off: you have fairly dispassionate access to all the abuser's actions at once, and you're not quite as subject to their charms. The Midnight Hour suckered me in, though: Well, they're werewolves, they have an animalistic side, I can't understand exactly how their social system works, isn't this just how you run a pack? Nope. Carl may be a werewolf, but his (and other pack members') manipulation and control tactics are inescapably human. You realize along with Kitty that just because you're not strictly human doesn't mean others are allowed to treat you inhumanly. ( )

Kitty Raises Hell
3.5 Stars

In the aftermath of events in Las Vegas, Kitty and her pack in Denver are under attack by what appears to be a vengeful spirit.

This installment improves on the previous one in several regards. To begin with, the action starts immediately and there is none of the slow build-up that has characterized the earlier books. Moreover, Kitty is finally becoming more pro-active. Rather than working from a defensive position or waiting to be rescued, she takes the initiative to battle the threat to her pack.

The conflict itself in this installment is compelling and the eventual explanation is original and engaging. The developments in Kitty and Ben's relationship is also satisfying as they grow stronger as a couple.

Overall, an enjoyable addition to the series and Marguerite Gavin's narration is superb as always. ( )

This one was a little easier to put down than the others have been, but I still liked it enough, or maybe like the characters enough, to stick with the series. ( )

Still entertained by Kitty and her continuing adventures. I'm especially delighted by the paranormal investigator tie-in on this one. ( )
