Title:<\/strong> Kitty’s House of Horrors<\/em>
\nAuthor:<\/strong> Carrie Vaughn
\nPublisher:<\/strong> Grand Central Publishing
\nSource:<\/strong> The Columbus Metropolitan Library<\/p>\n

In the newest installment of the Kitty Norville series, Kitty and some of her paranormal friends are talked into doing a reality show.\u00c2\u00a0 A few strangers are thrown into the mix and one skeptic.\u00c2\u00a0 They’re at a remote lodge with several production people.\u00c2\u00a0 For a few days it seems to be on the level.\u00c2\u00a0 They’re asked to stick around the lodge as much as possible and are taped having a discussion each evening.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

They stumble across a campsite and wonder if something more is happening\u00c2\u00a0when the cabin loses power and the one phone to the outside world goes missing.\u00c2\u00a0 Dead bodies begin to pile up and they must fight for their lives.\u00c2\u00a0 Mostly independent, it’s going to take compromise and teamwork to live.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s not important to have read the other books in the series but I think it would help before tackling this one.\u00c2\u00a0 Vaughn is adept at putting Kitty into situations that force her to use all of her (werewolf and human) instincts and this is no exception.\u00c2\u00a0 This is one time when no one from her pack can help her.\u00c2\u00a0 Ben is sharp but he’s not near Kitty and he’s distracted with Cormac’s impending prison release.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s going to take him a day or to before he figures out she’s in danger.\u00c2\u00a0 The ending felt like… an ending.\u00c2\u00a0 There’s something final about it and until I read the next novel would be released in July, I wasn’t sure the series was going to continue.\u00c2\u00a0 The next novel is named Kitty Goes to War.<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0 Combined with the ending of this book I think Kitty’s House of Horrors<\/em> was a setup to launch Kitty getting heavily involved in the vampire’s Long Game.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
