Kitty Rock The House (Kitty Noville
#11)
Carrie Vaughn
Publisher: Tor Books
On the heels of Kitty's return from London, a new werewolf shows up in Denver, one who threatens to split the pack by challenging Kitty's authority at every turn. The timing could not be worse; Kitty needs all the allies she can muster to go against the ancient vampire, Roman, if she's to have any hope of defeating his Long Game. But there's more to this intruder than there seems, and Kitty must uncover the truth, fast. Meanwhile, Cormac pursues an unknown entity wreaking havoc across Denver; and a vampire from the Order of St. Lazaurus tempts Rick with the means to transform his life forever
The
Kitty series is much bigger than I thought it was – eleven book already! I have
to admit the series has had its up and downs – some books are better than
others but what keeps me interested is Kitty herself. She’s not your typical
alpha heroine – ready to kick butt with leather outfits and a dozen men at her
beck and call. Kitty prefers to avoid fights and talk her way out of them - if
possible, she’s happily married and would rather be in comfy jeans and a tank
top. Yet, she is alpha material and is balancing her responsibilities as a
sister and daughter, wife, alpha of the local werewolf pack, her secret war
against Roman and the Long Game as well as her job as DJ of The Midnight Hour.
In this book those responsibilities start getting too much for Kitty...
This
is very much a home-ly story with Kitty going about her routine and people
disrupting her life. As a result there are many separate parts to the story
with new werewolf joining Kitty’s pack, the Catholic Vampire visiting Rick and the
loss of her grandmother all making life tough for Kitty and Ben – not to
mention Cormac teaming up with Detective Hardin.
The
writing is as easy to slip into as fresh cotton sheets and it’s always nice to
catch up with one of my favourite werewolves. The story is a little piece-meal
and isn’t one of the strongest entries in this series as Kitty mostly keeps
secrets and runs around reacting rather than being proactive. But it is a quick
read and perfect for a summer commute to work.
