Synopsis: After defeating the djinn summoned by the vengeful vampire priestess she encountered in Vegas, and making a few unexpected friends in the Paradox PI team, we re-join Kitty Norville—late-night radio show host and the world’s first celebrity werewolf—a year later back at the KNOB station in Denver, Colorado.
This time around Hollywood has come calling to Ms. Norville’s door. Approached by two young up-and-coming reality television producers our heroine is pulled into something she never thought she’d do by a couple of friends. After being flown into a deserted lodge with the other cast members, things begin to turn from strange to downright life-threatening seemingly overnight.
Review: As you all probably know, Kitty Norville is my heroine of choice (yeah, yeah, I’m keeping my day job). Seriously though, I never miss the opportunity to pimp out the books and I have very much enjoyed the entire series so far. But reading Kitty’s House of Horrors was like snuggling up with Kitty and the Midnight Hour for the very first time. It was everything I love about the series—the incredible suspense, the badass action, the impeccable plot and the oh so lovable snark—all rolled into one and is most definitely was the best book since Kitty Takes a Holiday even if it was a little smaller than the most recent ones. Go forth and read, I say, for Carrie Vaughn humanizes the werewolf better than anyone else I’ve read.
Rating: 5 whimpering skeptics out of 5!
