This one sorts out some of the things that bugged me about the previous book, and it nicely resolves a major issue that's been hanging over Kitty's head for a while.
I have to give Vaughn credit for bringing realistic elements into the story that most of the urban fantasy I've seen so far tends to avoid. She also has a more balanced view of supernatural creatures than some--there are good and bad lycanthropes and bad and good vampires. However, I really don't give a hoot about vampire poli More...

Another great trip with Kitty. I love reading about her running around in the Denver metro area. That's where I went thru high school and a year of college, so it's like coming home to visit Kitty there. And in her fourth book, Kitty is like an old friend. What's more, she listens to great music that I liked back in those days....

"For those of you who have not met Kitty and the other characters before, this is a great time to drop in on them. You may need to read the previous three books to get caught up on all the nuances, but you will find yourself hooked and waiting for the next one as much as I am. This is a series that is tremendously addicting. I was lucky enough to read this one before its release and all I can say is, "I want more, Ms. Vaughn, I want more." A Howling 5 Enchantments."

Again a book I couldn't put down after I started reading. But afterwards, I was getting some second thoughts. There will be spoilers, so if you haven't read the book yet, don't read this review.
From book one I have accepted the Hollywood infectious werewolf concept, since this is on which the books are founded. I also accepted the vampire concepts, although the thing with crosses really doesn't make sense to me. But again, these are the foundations and the stories built on them are rea More...

After a long time away, Kitty finds herself drawn back to Denver. First it was Rick, a vampire friend trying to drag her into vampire politics, but then it was something far more personal – her mother has cancer.

Kitty and the Silver Bullet is the fourth instalment in the Kitty Norville series by Carrie Vaughn. If you like action and romance then this is the book for you.
Kitty is just your average DJ that wants to make something of herself and just happens to be a werewolf. The last part makes life rather difficult, especially when she wants to return home to tend to her sick mother. The Denver pack banished her when they killed her best friend T.J a year ago but some things are worth fightin More...

The Kitty series has yet to return to the excellence of the first two novels. I was disappointed in the third novel, and unfortunately I'm disappointed with this novel. Kitty is forced to return to her home town and the pack she left, which happens to be in the middle of a vampire war. I didn't feel for Kitty when some of the bad things happened to her in this novel, and I didn't understand some of the decisions she made. I don't particularly like Ben and I wasn't interested in many of the non a

Carrie Vaughn's series is possibly the biggest reason why I may never submit my book about werewolves: she does it better.
Now that Kitty and Ben are together, things seems to settle down. At least for the first few pages. Kitty always thought werewolves couldn't get pregnant, so how is it possible for her to have a miscarriage? Before she can steady herself from that blow, there's a call from her parents. Her mother has breast cancer. Kitty and Ben rush back to Denver...and right into More...

This is the fourth book in the Kitty Norville series and it is officially my favorite. The third book was my favorite until I read this one. This book had so much more character development and suspense than the last one did; I really zoomed right through it and enjoyed it.

The longer I stay out of school, the more I fall into my old vices. Case in point: Staying up until 4 in the morning for no good reason. Trashy vampire novels. Writing reviews of trashy vampire novels at 4 in the morning for no good reason. (Also, lounging. Video games. Fic. Sleeping in. Midnight snacks. Why am I such a dissolute teenager again.)
This was alright. I can understand why it's more highly rated by readers -- it's certainly got a lot more guano hitting the fan than books two More...

Okay--I think I missed the boat on the earlier two books (GOES TO WASHINGTON and TAKES A HOLIDAY). It occured to me while reading this book that in a way Kitty has been working out what would be in an adult human a childhood's worth of abuse since leaving Carl and Meg, the alphas of her pack in Denver. As a new werewolf, Kitty was vulnerable to seeing her alphas as god-like--they were the first she knew; she was very young in her new life, and they wielded power with arrogance and cruelty.

Kitty and the Silver Bullet ties up several loose plot threads that are hanging from the previous books in the series. It also adds a few more. I didn't like this book, however, as much as I liked Kitty Takes a Holiday.

I was more than ready to dive into Carrie Vaughn's next Kitty Norville book after finishing Kitty Takes a Holiday. The mood was right and I was not quite ready to say goodbye to the characters just yet, however temporary. I wasn't disappointed.

Life has taken a positive turn for Kitty Norville, werewolf / radio talk show host. Her book "Underneath the Skin" is published and soon to be released, her radio show "The Midnight Hour" has good ratings, and she and Ben have settled in as their own little pack.
Kitty's life suddenly turns up side down when her Dad calls with news of a family emergency; her Mom may have breast cancer. She and Ben decide to head back to Denver. This brings even more complications More...

This book is so far the best one in the entire series - that's right, I liked it even more than the first book, Kitty and the Midnight Hour. This is certainly a rare moment; you don't often get to see sequels being that good.

What's interesting about this particular volume is that despite some subplots that can obviously be explored in later volumes, one could stop reading Kitty series at this point, if they wanted. Why, I don't know, but it's got good resolution, especially on a personal level. The end isn't as heartbreaking as the previous volume, which actually scares me, because I wonder what Vaughn's got up her sleeve for books five and six. I don't know if there's going to be a seven, but two more book is plent

Well, this one was a good one. The ball seems to be rolling, although I can't imagine where it will go from here. Kitty's mom gets sick, sending Kitty back to exhiled Denver. Now she must make some hard choices about taking a stand, shaping her life, and just what battles she wants to face.
I was kinda confused with her Ben relationship in this one. It seemed the least defined since it began. The ending threw me. It wasn't expected, in fact, I don't know where the hell it came from. More...

This is one of those series which definitely built up and met it's stride over the course of a few books. This one had me fighting dawn and drooping eyelids to keep reading just one more chapter. That certainly sounds like a 5 star book, to me.
On the urban fantasy/ paranormal romance argument, I think this book settled the series into the same category as Eileen Wilks "World of the Lupi" or even Kelley Armstrong's "Women of the Otherworld". Urban fantasy, but with More...

Kitty finds herself back in Denver in this book, trying to avoid Carl and Meg, the alpha and his mate from her previous pack. She knows that if she runs into them, they will kill her and she doesn't want Ben to get involved or hurt either. However, her mom is seriously ill and therefore she has no other choice.

Just finished listening to the audiobook version, as I've done for this entire series. This fourth installment was enjoyable enough, similar to the previous three books. The series as a whole has been a great choice for me as an audiobook since it's certainly engaging enough to keep my attention while driving, but also not too complicated and therefore easy to follow along with.
