I read this maybe a month ago, and didn't bother to review it, because I didn't have much to say. I probably would have given it two stars at the time, because it's pretty snackish and light. But after the insult of reading half of Marked, this book is getting another star for not being insulting and chock-full of moralizing subtexts. Kitty's a werewolf; she runs a call-in show for paranormal Americans like vampires and stuff; she gets called to Washington to give testimony to a Senate sub-commi

This series--although I am only on book 2 is really missing something IMO. I am trying hard to like the series, but I am just finding the books a little boring. I think the idea behind the series is good. I like the humor that occasionally pops up. A werewolf named Kitty--excellent irony. The stories are a little lack luster.

Kitty Goes to Washington is an entertaining read. Carrie Vaughn tells a great story full of politics and adds a twist of paranormal lore. Kitty Norville is subpoenaed to testify at a Senate Subcommittee about paranatural biology. Sounds boring, right? While the politicking goes on in the human world, we are treated to all sorts of politics and posturing in the paranormal world. The latter is much more interesting.

I did like it better than the first book, and I actually want to read the next in the series. Not that I really enjoy them all that much or think they are that god, but I do wanna see what all the consequences of this book are.
The characters this time around were so much more mature and interesting (although Cormac still have the mustache! Bleh!) and you got to know so much more about and interact so much with Ben the lawyer which I loved. He's probably my favorite characters in More...

Werewolf radio named Kitty (ha) radio host goes to Washington, meets the reigning vampire queen of DC, battles baddies and self righteous jerks, loves a were-jaguar and still manages to get her radio show on the air. Loved the idea of congress having hearings on paranormal, as I am of the opinion many of them are some version of shapeshifters, themselves. Surely Strom Thurmond (my own state senator for a gazillion years before he departed to another world) has some supernatural help in keeping

Oh what a frivolous title I present. But while it is not the salient part of the review it is catchy and there are two kitties. Of course by day, one is a man most of the time and the other is never really a cat at all.
I could go on and on about this book. It raises the bar. I thought this would be just another series, filled with sex and action. More...

If you haven’t yet read Vaughn’s work, and you like the pop-horror genre (vampires, werewolves, and demons—oh my!), definitely pick up Kitty and the Midnight Hour. I’m a sucker for reading books in order, and think everyone else should be too, but also: characters in or referenced in the first book make appearances in the second, and in terms of character, it’s important to know how Kitty has evolved and what her origins are. Don’t pick this book up cold and expect to get the details of how she

Kitty is now a nomad werewolf stalking the States and running her radio show in a different city, hell, a different State every week, after being chased out of her territory by her former Alpha. Loneliness has its advantages, but the weight of being a stray wolf is weighting down on her and the full moon nights are much scarier without a pack. She will be dragged back into power games though when the Senate will invite her to testify at an hearing about Paranormal Biology. She will then find her

This tome was a real nail-biter. I think the thing that makes Kitty an interesting character amongst all the other stories out there about weres is her lack of dominance. While so many other authors writing in this genre focus on making strong characters out to dominate their peers or avoid domination, Vaughn's Kitty Norville is quite aware that she's submissive and doesn't spend the entire book trying to fight it.

This book is more serious than the first book. Kitty's off to Washington to testify before a Senate committee chaired by a Christianist demagogue about the newly emergent vampire and were communities. She is welcomed by Washington's primary vampire, centuries old Alette, who tells her the city's packs are anarchic and dangerous, and houses Kitty herself. When Kitty meets the city's pack leaders at their restaurant headquarters, she discovers rather that they are un-Pack, that they feel the Pa

Every time I sat down to read a little more of KGtW, I became totally engrossed. There was so much going on, but everything happens with some very nice pacing and revelation. Lots of cool new stuff in here. And some carried over from the first book. I loved that she was somewhere else... especially a place where so much was going on.

I really loved this book. It's a good follow-up from Kitty and the Midnight Hour, with Kitty managing to tie up a few loose ends from the previous book while still struggling with others. There is plenty of action, a narration that's easy to read, and lots of good humour.
I have to say my favourite part about the book/series is Kitty's radio job. The callers she gets on the show are often hilarious, and it's really nice to see an urban fantasy series where the main character is not a P More...

Although Kitty had to leave her hometown at the end of the last book, it was great to see at the beginning of this one that she was strong and resilient enough to cope with being a rogue.
I thought it was very creative of her, Matt and Ozzie to hook her up as a traveling radio show host...Kitty got to continue doing what she loved and got to see different places at the same time.
What I found most interesting during this book was learning about the different were-species. More...

The 2nd installment in the Kitty Norville series is just as good/if not better than the first. In this book we see Kitty's new life without her pack, away from Denver, and traveling all over the country. But then she is summoned to testify in front of a Senate panel group about the paranormal community and her life changes in ways that she never expected.

I loved the first book because it was something a little bit different (and yet still fitting into the vampire/werewolf mythology) from the other paranormals that I've read. I like Kitty because she's both strong and weak at the same time - which is a lot more real, more human, than these paranormal characters are sometimes. So I was really looking forward to the sequel. Good news! The sequel does not disappoint. More of what I loved about the first book (though she wasn't on the radio as much,

Miraculously, everything - and I mean EVERYTHING - that annoyed me in the first book was fixed. It seems to me that Carrie Vaughn decided to take herself a whole lot less seriously, and it worked wonders for the Kitty Norville series.

This is an excellent followup to Carrie's first Kitty book. It is certainly not simply more of the same, but a story all on its own. You could even read this without having read the first one and get the full effect, though I'd still recommend reading the first book to get the full background on Kitty herself.
While book 1 is full of action, this read more like a mystery wrapped up in government conspiracy and McCarthyist type witch hunting. It was almost like a light paced Tom Clancy More...

I think I liked this book slightly less than in the first one since there didn't seem to be much character growth for Kitty although it was fun to get to know Ben and his relationship with Cormac more. There were still the Dj shows although I think there were fewer of them, but I guess there were a lot of other things happening.

I was sold on Kitty Goes to Washington right from the very first page. Kitty the Werewolf (ha ha) is a totally engaging radio hostess - the dialogue from the shows is wonderful, through the book you get such insight into her personality through her broadcasts. I totally rooted for her as the show caught on and gained in popularity, and I loved seeing her gain confidence and backbone.

A great follow-up to Kitty and the Midnight Hour. It's better than the first, accomplishing something many struggle with. Vampires are more involved and a few other species of the supernatural are introduced. A couple players from the previous book carry through and she still has her radio show but other than that, most of her old world is left behind keeping the story interesting and fresh. I suppose this book could probably be read without book 1 read first but the subtle interactions of the c
