Kitty and the Silver Bullet
(Grand Central, January 2008)
Rating: Very good
I'm really enjoying this series, and Kitty and the Silver Bullet is another great book.
The premise:
She's a werewolf named Kitty with a radio show about the paranormal.
Why I love this series:
It sounds a little goofy, yes, but the writing is tight and there's great character development. Kitty really grows up over the course of the four novels, and this one brings her full circle, confronting the demons of her past.
I love how every book so far is different--slightly different in tone, some focusing more on the action, some more on the characters, some more on the ideas...they all feel like Kitty books, but somehow they're all different. It's never boring and I'm never quite sure where Vaughn is going to take us.
I didn't quite love the ending to this one as much as the last book, but getting there was fantastic--very quick-paced, and a bad book to read on my break at work because I wanted to know what happened next!
Series info: the fourth Kitty book; I'd recommend reading these in order (Kitty and the Midnight Hour, Kitty Goes to Washington, Kitty Takes a Holiday, Kitty and the Silver Bullet).
I haven't...
read this one yet. I probably need to move it higher up the stack!

I think you'll enjoy it--it's a nice quick read and was a lot of fun visiting with the characters again.
I'll be working
I'll be working my way up to this one now that I've finally started, finished, and enjoyed her first book,"Kitty and the Midnight Hour". You know it was you and Debbie talking about them that got me to finally read it, so Thanks!

re: Kitty
Thanks for posting the series info. I've seen the Kitty books, but I hadn't gotten to trying them yet. Sounds like it's time to try them.
The great gift is the passion for reading. It is cheap [Hah! It most certainly is not!], it consoles, it distracts, it excites. It gives knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is moral illumination. ~ Elizabeth Hardwick

It doesn't sound goofy at all. You really made me want to read this series without having to look at the blurb. I love it when books do what you describe no matter what the plot is.
