Urban fantasy has exploded all over the publishing landscape. In some cases it has gotten messy, with poorly-written potboilers masking as genre fiction. Luckily, Kitty and the Midnight Hour is not one of these.
Kitty Norville didn’t want to be a werewolf. Radio DJ was more her speed. But that all changed the night she was attacked. Now Kitty has no choice but to follow the rules of the pack and not let on to anyone in her life that she is a werewolf.
That all changes when her night DJ job suddenly turns into a supernatural call-in show. Now Kitty finds herself the target of a professional hit, pulled into a murder investigation and outed as a werwolf to all her listeners. This sets off the werewolf pack politics, leading to more attacks and Kitty’s world being further upset.
A well writen novel that takes a wimpy submissive character to a woman who is begining to take charge of her life. Vaughn has clearly left it open for sequels and for further growth in Kitty. While not in the league of Jim Butcher and Kim Harrison, it is worthy of a look.
