Kitty and the Silver Bullet

By Carrie Vaughn

Oh goody, it’s always nice when you find a favorite new author and don’t have to wait too long for the next book. I just finished the SFBC edition, Long Time Listener, First Time Werewolf, an omnibus of Carrie Vaugh’s first 3 books, Kitty and the Midnight Hour, Kitty Goes to Washington, and Kitty Takes a Vacation, when I discovered her fourth Kitty and the Silver Bullet.

I was eager to continue the story of Kitty Norville, radio DJ and reluctant werewolf who seems to always get herself in trouble despite her best efforts to avoid it and lead a normal life.

This time her mother is ill and she returns to Denver despite the fact that the leaders of her old pack have promised to kill her on sight if she ever returned. But keeping out of sight isn’t an option when she is pulled into the local vampire political struggle and dead bodies start turning up.

Carrie Vaughn continues to show her ability to tell a captivating story. This book is going to find a place on my “must own” shelf next to Jim Butcher, Kim Harrison, Charlaine Harris, Laurell K. Hamilton. I can hardly wait to learn more of Kitty’s story, and I was pleased to see a new one is coming out this fall.
