They’ve won their freedom, become the new alpha couple in town, struck a deal of equality with the city’s vampires, opened a new restaurant (aptly named New Moon) and now Kitty and Ben are going to make it all official—the human way at least—by tying the knot. Deciding they are overwhelmed by all the matrimonial hoopla, the couple make a plan to elope in, where else but, Las Vegas, Nevada—the city of neon temples, Wayne Newton, drunken mistakes and Elvis impersonators.
Their secret is not much of a secret anymore once wind of the nuptials gets back to Kitty’s boss at the station. He decides this is a perfect time to take her popular radio show to television with a “Live from Vegas” hour. Kitty agrees and is excited for all the week in Vegas has to offer, but that’s until they arrive and she delivers a message for Rick to the Vegas vampire master. The meeting leaves her feeling odd and once she realizes her hotel is full of bounty hunters, her hackles are continuously on the rise and she has the feeling that something is not quite right in this crazy, neon-signed town. Come on, did you really think Kitty could ever have a normal wedding? HA! Read the rest of this entry »
