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. It was then she learned that the gauche cliché of “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” is nothing more than a lie. But the brand on the door was only the beginning. 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.
Description – For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf–her wolf–is a chilling presence she can’t seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human . . . until the cold makes him shift back again. Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It’s her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human–or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever. (Amazon.com)
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.
She traveled to Washington D.C. where she mingled with vampires and was eventually captured and forced into shapeshifting on live national television (
That’s exactly what Kitty Norville does in this series’ third installment. However, being secluded in the Colorado wilderness with only your laptop and some trees for company, isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and soon her attempt to recreate Walden Pond soon fails. Wolf is at home, Kitty is not.
Kitty’s best friend has died and now it looks like her life is next on the chopping block. Nothing left to do but run, and take The Midnight Hour with her by doing the show from various different locales in hopes of avoiding her old pack which she rebelled against. Kitty then gets word that she has been requested by the Senate to testify on behalf of all supernatural beings in Washington D.C. So, it’s to the capital she goes.
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.
