Synopsis: When we last saw celeb werewolf Kitty Norville, she had been confronted by an enigmatic word—Tiamat—burned into the door of her beloved restaurant and pack hangout, New Moon.

Soon, danger and murder surround Kitty’s life and she is faced with an even bigger evil that forces her own view of the supernatural to broaden.

Yet, when a mysterious vampire rolls into town claiming he has the power to save her and her pack, can Kitty fully trust him?

Kitty and the Silver Bullet (Book #4) by Carrie Vaughn. © 2008 Grand Central Publishing. ISBN 0-446-61875-6. Paperback. Paranormal Romance. 337 pages. $6.99 US. [ Purchase ] ** This review is based on an ARC. **

Since she was forced to leave her old, abusive life of being the submissive female werewolf of the Denver pack (Kitty and the Midnight Hour), Kitty has seen a whole new side of the supernatural.

She traveled to Washington D.C. where she mingled with vampires and was eventually captured and forced into shapeshifting on live national television (Kitty Goes to Washington). She dodged the press after signing a book deal and sought refuge in a secluded cabin where the supernatural only followed her (Kitty Takes a Holiday). Life has been a whirlwind of avoidance.

However, when Kitty receives the call that her mother has fallen ill, she has no choice but to return to where it all began and pray that she goes unnoticed by her former pack, who want nothing more than her dead. But Kitty has something this time around that she didn’t when she left Denver a year ago, she has Ben—her lawyer turned lover turned werewolf mate.

What she didn’t bargain for was being swept up in a war between two of the city’s oldest vampires and now it’s up to her to protect her family from the supernatural world war that’s taking over the metropolis. Read the rest of this entry »

Welcome to Denver, Colorado. Home to KNOB, a radio station where Kitty Norville works the midnight-shift as a DJ. But Kitty is not your average twenty-something, she harbors a secret—she is a werewolf.

One night, being fed up with lame song requests during her shift, Kitty accidentally starts “The Midnight Hour”. An hour of radio which turns into an advice show for the supernaturally disadvantaged.

Soon she is inundated with calls from vampires, witches, werewolves and more from all across the country. While the show opens the door for the community of paranormal, it’s also shone a light straight onto Kitty and her secret life. With the good, comes the bad, and soon Kitty is dealing not only with the abuse of her pack’s alpha male, but also with one hot werewolf hunter named Cormac who aims to rid the world of her, a faith-healer bent on “saving their souls” and her pack and a few raging undead who are not happy in the least with the public being away of their existence.

An amazing start to what I hope is a long-running paranormal series!
