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.
And I loved Vaughn's take on the supernatural world - the werewolves and the vampires. She doesn't pull her punches, and Kitty's werewolf pack isn't all sunshine and roses. Her weres and vamps are scary, they are not human, and they are dangerous. The book is edgy, there's a lot of tension and conflicted emotions and the characters are very complex...nobody's all good or all bad. That makes them more engaging, and it also keeps the reader guessing (kind of - the murderer was pretty easy to figure out).
