Hunting Kat (Darkest Powers Trilogy 0.02)
by
Kelley Armstrong (Goodreads Author)
Kat is a sixteen-year-old vampire, and she's not too happy about it. After an experiment-gone-wrong and a bullet to the heart, she now hungers for human blood, and the worst part about that is the guilt. But guilt isn't the only thing stressing her. Kat is being hunted by the Edison Group, a dangerous Cabal that is responsible for her undead state. Kat is running out of pl...more

HUNTING KAT (e-novella) YA by Kelley Armstrong
HUNTING KAT is a short-story that continues from Kelley Armstrong’s online novella KAT that can be found on the author’s website. Part of the Darkest Powers/Darkness Rising series and originally published in the anthology Kisses From Hell, Hunting Kat is a stand-alone story focusing on 16year old Katiana (Kat) a supernatural being who has been genetically altered and has only come into some of her powers in the previous 6 months.

Hunting Kat is a short story set in Armstrong's world of the Darkest Powers and Darkness Rising series; and tells the story of "Kat", a 16 year old recently turned vampire who is being hunted by The Edison Group. Overall I found the story a quick, easy read (yeah, it's only 40 pages) and enjoyed Kat's character. The reason for the two star rating is that I believe I read this story before (although I can't remember where), and therefore found it predictable. However, I think readers who have not...more
When I first received Hunting Kat, I was disappointed with the length as I didn't realize it was a short story. Then, as the story began, I was saddened because it was another book about vampires. Vampires aren't my favorite supernatural creature.
I persevered as I do enjoy Kelley Armstrong's writing. There was a gruesome incident and I was intrigued! I was curious as to the motives behind the accident.

I don't know why it took me so long to discover Kelley Armstrong! Last year I read The Gathering and I was very excited about it. It was fun, the main character was more than likeable, there was wild nature, animals, Native American legends, just everything I like! I bought The Summoning and also Bitten, and I can't wait to read them, but first I'm going to read The Calling.
Anyways, "Hunting Kat" was an amazing short-story and a teaser for her series. It only confirmed that Kelley Armstrong is a...more

Kat has been a vampire now for six month, because of the genetic experimentations of Edison group she doesn’t know if she’ll continue to age or not. She doesn’t really know anything about what will happen to her now. She is on her way to a vampire meeting in New York with Marguerite when she is run off the road and kidnapped by bounty hunters planning to return her to Edison Group. Once there she meets Chad and Neil who are supposedly kids that were al...more

I wouldn't spend much time pursuing this short story - the majority of the plot is really teasers to her novel series. Nothing too dramatic happens either (as this needs to be saved for said series)
There is a couple of twists, however in a short story there isn't really enough established, to consider unexpected events to be real 'twists'
All in all Hunting Kat, should really be a chapter from a novel, not a considered a story in itself. If you are a fan grab Armstrong's novels, don't bother with...more

Now this is Kelley Armstrong, y'all! Wonderful piece, really, reminded me so much of The Summoning that I just wanted to scream in happiness. I felt much closer to Kat, and Neil reminded me of Derek in a strange yet great way.
That's the thing about this author's writing; it always leaves you with a good taste, or like you've just experienced something big. Oh, how I've missed her writing.

Katiana - a genetic vampire, taken in by the Edison group for experimentation, rescued by Marguerite... hiding since. But on her 16th birthday they found her, and shot her in the heart to determine how their experiments fared - and she is now full vamp, and free again (the edison group think she died in a fire)... hungers for warm blood, but only taking it from a bag, as it is unknown how 'fresh' blood will affect her. They are heading for new york for a meeting with others to determine a plan o...more
This was a good but short story and the reason for 3 stars is that reason and because the characters are just there. The reader doesn't know anything about them except that Kay has been part of an experiment by the Edison Group. I understand that this is part of the Darkest Powers/Darkness Gathering series but I don't know if there is more of these characters or not, but all of this said, it is a good short story to kill time with and will keep the readers interest, as do most if not all of Ms A...more

Immediately after I finished reading Kat I started reading Hunting Kat. I was really curious how Kat would adapt to her new lifestyle being a vampire. But this story is about much more!
Hunting Kat was very fun to read, as it was well-written and I fell in love with her character in the very beginning. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that this book was way too short..

Nice little delve into the Edison Group plotline. I do like how every "lead girl" is a different. Chloe is still my favorite by far. And to that point - so is Derek..
I'd prefer to see more of them in the future. I'd trade in the Darkness Rising series in a second for 3 more Darkest Powers stories.
But - for this. I liked it. Armstong is awesome at YA novels.

I have read Kelley Armstrong's trilogy Darkness Rising and this book is part of it but can be read as a stand-alone. Kat has been part of the experiments that the Edison group had done and she is being hunted by them...
A good short novel, kind of reminded me what I've already read and I really enjoyed this.

A good quick read from one of paranormal's best writers. I really appreciate how well the charaters were developed in such a short story. Great read for fans of Kelley Armstrongs work. It is always fun to have a quick "visit" with old friends!
I really like reading about the conspiracy with the Edison group, this short gave us another take with a different brand of supernaturals. Kat was smart when she got taken. I liked that she realized all was not what it seemed.
Kat is a genetically altered vampire. She and her guardian are getting ready to head to NYC to find out more about her condition when she is kidnapped.
This is a short story, not an entire novel. Fun premise, fun characters.

As I have stated in previous reviews, I have difficulty writing a review on a Kelley book without sounding gushy. I adore Kelley's writing style and her ability to write fantastic characters. Kat is no different, she died earlier than she thought she would but, with the help of her vampire guardian, she's dealing with it.
Even in a really short story, Kelley manages to draw you in and keep you interested. The good thing with Hunting Kat is, it gives you a little taste of the Darkness Rising world...more

I only got to read 1 chapter since that's all there was!! But that chapter was very good!! just very disappointed in how short it is.
And because of that I can't rate the book

Interestng, it was a side story for a new PC and before I didn't like the Vampires in her book, but this one I do like...It could be a turning point for me. It's a quick read, enjoy!
Apparently there is whole bunch of short stories that I somehow missed. I should go from the first I guess.
after reading: I dunno what to think...

This was a fun short story set in the Darkest Powers world. Kat has escaped the Edison Group only to be captured by bounty hunters...
Kat is a fun heroine and I really liked Neil too... I hope we'll see them more in a Darkest Powers novel!! :)
If you're a fan of the YA series, you should check this one out!

This book explains one of the characters from the Calling series.
It was a quick read but it was too short to truly be able to appreciate it.

Armstrong is a strong writer, who is obviously in love and comfortable with the universe she's created. Even her short stories show this.
I'd love to read more about Kat & Neil. Loved the story, disappointed that it was a novella because the end came way too quickly.
Oh my God I love this cover!
Gotta read it ASAP.
Because of the cover. (and the whole content, 'course........)

I likEd it but felt like it needed to be longer. I don't feel like I really got to know any of the characters very well.

Kelley Armstrong has been telling stories since before she could write. Her earliest written efforts were disastrous. If asked for a story about girls and dolls, hers would invariably feature undead girls and evil dolls, much to her teachers' dismay. All efforts to make her produce "normal" stories failed.
