I don't know what to say. I'm just losing interest in this series. The last book was terrible, this one at least had more focus and a clear plot line. But I don't know... it doesn't grab me as the first few books did. I read it, but I find my mind wandering at parts and I had to re focus myself.
Kitty has definitely become a different character imo, in this one she's running around and trying to solve everything on her own. and she's not really listening to Rick who's trying to help h More...

Well Kitty is really up against the wall with this one. If you aren't familiar with this series here's a quick synopsis. Kitty is a radio DJ who is a werewolf--and yes she's heard all the 'werewolf named Kitty' jokes. Anyway, the series follows her life and trials from the time she's bitten until she becomes (unwillingly) the most famous werewolf in the U.S. (read Kitty goes to Washington). Each books reveals a little more about one of the continuing characters and Kitty's growing circle of

Kitty is back home in Denver – but it seems something has followed her from Vegas. After severely hurting and annoying a cult dedicated to Tiamat, a personification of chaos, she finds the deities name burned into her club. Very soon, it’s clear that some kind of fiery, intangible entity is hunting them.
And how do you fight something intangible? Something intangible that can burn anything it touches? Something intangible you can’t even see yet can burn you from the inside out?

This is book 6 in the Kitty Norville series. I thought this book was better than the last book and a great addition to the series.
In this book Kitty returns to Denver to try and live a normal life with her new husband Ben. Well, of course things don't stay normal.

Breathing a sigh of relief and thinking they returned to Denver safe and sound, they soon discover their Vegas troubles followed them home. The feline lycanthropes involved in the death cult are out for revenge. They plan to make Kitty pay by taking out members of her pack one by one and, eventually, Kitty h

This book directly follows Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand, and is better than its prequel. Back in Denver, Kitty and Ben must deal with pack power dynamics, the demon (or is it ?) as well as vampire politics.
This book is closer to the earlier Kitty books in tone as well continues the dog versus cat theme from Dead Man's Hand. It still lacks in some areas. It does seem like sometimes Kitty keeps running headlong into trouble without pausing to think.

Trouble seems to follow Kitty no matter where she goes, and it certainly has found her in Denver. Something is stalking her and threatening her pack. She is up against a supernatural force she cannot explain, much less name. Seeking help from the crew of a televised paranormal investigation show, maybe she will be able to figure out who or what is behind the strange happenings and learn how to stop it before it wrecks even more havoc than it has already.

A hearty thank you to Ms. Vaughn for not making us wait to resolve the cliff hanger of Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand. Stepping back into Kitty's world - that of her newly formed and thus fragile pack - after the curious Vegas elopement, we find that Kitty's decision to be a "newfangled modern" werewolf who solves the pack's problems with her verbal repartee rather than by abuse is not quite as simple as she'd like to idealize it. The dynamics of dominance still hold sway, and perhaps

This is the 6th book of the Kitty Norville series, and it's definitely began to burn out. While this installments was much better than the previous one, Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand, it still wasn't as good as any of the first 4 books.

Maybe it's that I read three Kitty books in a month, with #5 & #6 in two days. Too much Kitty may just be too much.
But at the same time, reading them this way helped. It was very easy to read these two books back to back, since so much of what happened in The Dead Man’s Hand had consequences in Raises Hell. In Las Vegas Kitty took on the weres who are part of the Hanging Garden’s show, and Kitty and her friends took down five of them. In this novel the vampire sends a fire demon to More...

Kitty turns to Rick, Denver's Master vampire for help. She's approached by a new-to-her vampire named Roman who says he can help banish the evil spirit, demon, or whatever it is ... for a price. And he doesn't mean money.

I find these books to be a good, page-turning time for when I'm on my treadmill, but I have to say that they kind of blithely move past having to explain important things to people who need to know them and some of the ways that the characters behave seem unrealistic to me. If you were attacked by something supernatural, wouldn't you tell people, or would you get distracted by a pretty butterfly? I'm being overly facetious, but there's some major plot A.D.D. going on here or something. *spoiler*

The kitty cat cult from book #5 wasn't prepared to let what happened in Vegas stay in Vegas. Some strange force/being/demon follows Kitty and Ben home and starts attacking those near and dear to them.

I do believe I am wrong. I don't normally admit to being wrong because I am always right, but for once I will admit I was wrong! I said that Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand (#5 in the Kitty Norville series) was the best book so far, but this one was even better.

Maybe it is the subject matter that threw me here, but I really did not enjoy Kitty Raises Hell. The bad guys from the last book sent something bad after Kitty and she spends the entire book asking for people for help figuring out what it is. There is no character development, just the same old tired cast of people. There is no all encompassing plot that makes me want to read the next installment. The book is just a big ghost hunt and I found myself skipping over sections of repetitive details.

Unfortunately not everything stayed in Vegas and she is being targeted by a mysterious being that commands fire. Through her work as a late night DJ to the paranormal crowd, she gets involved with a reality TV program called Paranormal PI. Plus there's an ages old vampire in town playing a mysterious power game.

I kind of fell into the reading the Kitty series because they are set in Colorado and I live in Colorado. The first two books made me want to continue the series. And the third and forth books were my favorites and made me start telling everyone about the series. But the 5th books really left me wondering if Vaughn has run out of steam for Kitty. This 6th book is better but still not as good as the 3rd and 4th book in the series. Usually I read the Kitty books in one night. This one took me a w

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This heroine Kitty has gone through some growing up and Vaughn develops her even further here. In this 6th book Kitty rarely runs from her issues and doesn't seem to cower as much. Vaughn chose a straightforward plot with twists and turns to keep you guessing. Vaughn introduced several new characters with a depth and relevance that I thought showed maturity. I still am not 100% convinced that the Kitty/Ben relationship is the best.

After the last Kitty book, Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand, I was a bit nervous about picking up this one. However, the novel was much better than I had hoped. I still think that the two books were likely one book split in half, but the second book stands on its own much better.
It's not as good as Kitty and the Silver Bullet, which ranks as the series high-point for me, but it's definitely better than the last book. More...

Not because it was bad. No, on the contarary, it was much better than the last one. I just kept getting books I'd rather read, and whenever I wasn't reading something else I wasn't in the mood for reading or I was busy.
Anyways, I loved Rick in this book. He seemed to have a lot more personality. And I thought it was pretty cool how Peter tied into everything. I still miss TJ T-T He would've been an awesome person to have on their adventures. More...

When I said that book 5 was really the prequel to this book, I wasn't kidding. Truthfully, except for introducing a couple of key characters, book 5 was barely necessary. Book 6 blows everything out of the water. We see Kitty realy coming into her own. She knew that things weren't over in Vegas but she didn't expect the cult of Tiamat to come to Denver. We get vampires, werewolves, magicians and demons not to mention Kitty's version of Ghosthunters. Great set of characters and I hope we see more
