Kitty and The Midnight Hour <\/em>is the first book in the Kitty Norville series.\u00c2\u00a0 Kitty is a Denver DJ who takes over the midnight shift.\u00c2\u00a0 She’s been a lycanthrope for several years.\u00c2\u00a0 Her condition\u00c2\u00a0is a secret from her human friends and family.\u00c2\u00a0 Instead of playing music (because none of the callers requested music made before 1989) she starts a call-in show titled “The Midnight Hour” which is a hit with listeners.<\/p>\n

In this book we learn how she became a werewolf, and about werewolf pack and vampire family dynamics.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s one long setup for the remainder of the series but Carrie Vaughn makes it an enjoyable read.\u00c2\u00a0 Werewolves, vampires, evangelical ministers, a sexy mercenary and crime scenes become intermingled.\u00c2\u00a0 Kitty and her life are not perfect.\u00c2\u00a0 Just like the rest of us, she’s trying to do the best she can while remaining true to herself.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

I read this in a few hours because I wanted to know what would happen next.\u00c2\u00a0 Not all of the conflicts between Kitty and the other characters are resolved at the end.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m so glad because now I can\u00c2\u00a0read the rest of\u00c2\u00a0the series and get to know Kitty Norville even better.<\/p>\n
