I've been a fan of this series since book one that introduced us to Kitty Norville, werewolf who is also a radio DJ with a show called Kitty and the Midnight Hour! She had been "outed" as a werewolf 3 years before, and her show is more popular than ever! *****************spoilers************************

I hate to say this, but Kitty's House of Horrors is a bunch of fluff shoved into a fuzzy teddy bear, wrapped in more fluff. In other words, there is absolutely no depth here. I understand that urban fantasy is not the most compelling and deep genre in existence, but I expect more than this. I love urban fantasy for the grit, realism, and character development. The Kitty series has become cheesy and silly. Kitty "tells it like it is" supposedly on her talk show, she is supposed to be a

It's no secret that I absolutely love this urban fantasy series. Actually, it's one of my (most) favourite and I look forward to every new book.
Kitty's life is never easy. She might be married to a great guy, who happens to be a wolf like her. She might have her own pack, and a very successful radio show. She might even have a lot of cool supernatural friends, but nothing ever comes easy for her. And this book proves just how hard things can get.

This is the seventh book in the Kitty Norville series by Carrier Vaughn and it was a great addition to the series.
In this book Kitty gets invited to participate in a reality TV show. Her and a bunch of other paranormal celebrities are supposed to spend a week at a house out in the middle of nowhere.

Think Ten Little Indians and "The Most Dangerous Game" mixed up with vampires, psychics, magicians, and were-folk. I love the Kitty the Werewolf books and this one is as good, suspenseful, and interesting as the others. Some Hollywood promoters convince Kitty to participate in a reality show. Everyone is flown to a remote lodge in Montana and are filmed. Returning are some people from the other books including the magician from a previous book.

Kitty meets Ten Little Indians. (Okay, not really, but it is quite close).
Do you want to read an Anita Blake smack down? Read the early part of chapter two. At least another UF author is willing to make fun of Blake.
Vaughn’s Kitty novels aren’t particularly deep. Her novels are short, quick reads. Fun reads that don’t take very long to finish, like a B movie that knows it is a B movie and embraces it, like Snakes on a Plane.

I was hesitant to read this book because I felt like I was getting Kitty-ied out but I'm glad I did. I don't know if it's because there wasn't much Ben or if the story line just really grabbed me this time but I didn't want to stop reading. Not only was Kitty participating in this reality show but we also saw some of my favorite characters back like Odysseus Grant, Jeffrey-the TV psychic, Ariel-Kitty's fellow radio personality and Tina the paranormal investigator who has her own psychic talent

I love this series and eagerly await each new release. Kitty, a reluctant werewolf who must embrace her "otherness" or lose her sanity, is a delightful blend of strength and vulnerability. This edition sees Kitty and some friends (psychic, weres, a magician... and a skeptic) sign on for a reality series set in a very remote Montana lodge. (This next part is NOT a spoiler... it mentions it on the book jacket... but if you're squidgy about those things, stop reading now.) When it becomes

I really like the direction Carrie Vaughn is taking the Kitty Norville series. She does a really good job of tapping into pop culture and dragging it into her novels. In Kitty's House of Horrors, she uses the phenomenon of reality TV shows that throw celebrities together to live in a house for a few weeks. Things start off pretty well when Kitty and a dozen other members of the paranormal community begin their stint on reality TV. However, things go south quickly and people die. It's a well

Kitty is approached by the producers of a bunch of cheesy reality shows who invite her to join the cast of a new reality show featuring all "Supernatural" guests--lycanthropes, vampires, psychics, magicians and other odd types. Kitty balks until they mention some folks she's met previously and liked who are already on board. More...

I was a bit leery about the synopsis for the book since is based around a reality TV show. I do not care for reality TV, at all. Luckily, that wasn't a problem. Vaughn turned enough of the reality show business, to make it shine in the same light I think of it -- for most part pretend, with plenty of humor I could enjoy.

In the world of Urban Fantasy Carrie Vaughn is in the lead of the pack. I've been reading her work for several years and even though I fall behind from time to time, I still try and catch up when I get the opportunity. "Kitty's House of Horrors" was an awesomely original idea, which is hard to find in today's world. Sure we've all seen the really boring reality TV shows, and we've all read paranormal books, but this is a great blending of the two ideas. Although some of it was predicta

I really want to give this five stars -- the first half definitely is! Entertaining, funny, so cleverly designed. A reality TV show about a group of paranormal beings and a skeptic in the woods of Montana: fantastic idea! It's the second half of the book that pulls it down. WAY too many good people die in what becomes open season on everyone as the reality TV show turns out to have been a ploy. I get that the author is trying to show how bad it could get when paranormals come "out" but

Werewolf talk radio meets reality television, what's not to love? Kitty finds herself roped into a reality tv show, thanks to some underhanded tactics by Hollywood producers. She and several characters from previous books, along with some new ones, are flown to a remote cabin in Montana. One of their cabin mates does not believe in the supernatural, so the war of truth vs. ego is on.
And then things take a horrifying turn. The reason I gave this 4 stars was because I found the bad guys More...

When I first looked at the blurb for this one, I cringed. I hate reality shows, especially "Survivor" style reality shows. But this turned out to be much more engagingly that I was expecting. It helped that we got to see the return of a lot of magic/paranormal individuals Kitty has acquainted herself with over the last 6 books.

This was definitely the next step in the story line and saga, but I hate "reality" shows, and this goes more into the behind the scene as to why, it is not real. The "what would Cormac do?'" side of the coin was really good to throw in there. I had not expected that quite so much. Part of me says the end felt like it was rushed a little - not that it was, but the feeling was still there. I have to admit that I LOVED the unfortunate twist that happened to Kitty after confr

I picked this book up used for a quarter, having never read -- or even heard of -- the first few books in the series. Luckily for me, the back stories of Kitty, her husband, and all her other supernatural acquaintances were filled in in tiny, excruciating detail. The plot of this book was silly but distracting. It was nice to read a book about an ass-kicking, supernaturally empowered female that didn't contain pages and pages and pages of bizarre sex acts. Also: One of the characters was a were-

What Kitty originally thinks will be some great publicity quickly turns into her worst nightmare as she and her reality cohorts slowly get picked off one by one. Trapped in a lodge in the middle of nowhere, Kitty and Co must combine their talents to get out alive.

By now I'm very familiar with the fact that Kitty Norville is a sequence of ups and downs. None of the books thus far has been a bad read, but the generally episodic nature of Carrie Vaughn's storytelling means that different books -- or even parts of the same book -- will fall somewhere in a range between awesome and mediocre. I'd have to say that Kitty's House of Horrors falls in the mediocre category. There's enough good stuff here to make it worthwhile, but a lot of it also has a phoned-in q

In the latest installment of the Kitty Norville series, Kitty finds herself agreeing to be a part of a "supernatural reality television show." Kitty is shipped out to the middle of nowhere along with a variety of others that have ties to the supernatural world including some characters from previous books. But what starts out as a relaxing getaway for Kitty quickly changes into something more dark and dangerous as cast members begin dying and there is no way to reach the outside world.

This book was classic Kitty, she manages to get herself in a goofy situation and then has to figure a way out. I loved the idea of a reality show with all supernatural characters, and what I liked even more was a lot of these characters were ones from previous books that now we got to know more in depth.
