Less Action, Still a Good Ride
Kitty, the werewolf turned talk show DJ, is on the move as a single werewolf without a pack's protection. Since her old pack was oppressive and abusive, Kitty is enjoying her new 'identity'. Here, Kitty has been called to Washington to testify before the Senate in a hearing publically announcing werewolves, vampires, and other creatures of the night. Kitty finds hereself messed up with new characters, she can't know who to trust and everyone seems to have their own agenda. By about 100 pages in this story, I was feeling disheartened. The story seemed slow, bogged down by too many new characters and not enough action. Time and again Kitty remarkes on things being a letdown, or 'anticlimactic' which fits the story here, actually. In the first volume, "Kitty and the Midnight Hour", I remember being disgusted by Kitty and how she let the alpha treat her. That book turned around for me when Kitty decided to stop playing the weak victim. This story too ends up much better off than I had given credit for. An old favorite shows up from the first book and several more interesting things shape up. There is a betrayal or two, a murder or two, and Kitty remains a strong heroine. I found myself a little sorry to have this one end. I also rate the bonus story "Kitty Meets the Band" as an excellent addition. It's only a short story, but its fun. I recommend this one, and I also look forward to the next installment.

Love the book, but I'm a little pissed that it's missing 30 pages right out of the middle of the book!
And no, I didn't buy it used... I bought it new, right here from Amazon. It goes from page 206 then jumps to page 239. If it was just misnumbering, that would be no big deal, but it jumps obviously in the story and I'm traumatized. Any one else have this issue? I can't imagine I got the only bad copy.

Capital City Adventures
Kitty is invited to testify before the Senate so she goes, as the title says, to Washington, DC.

Her visit starts out auspiciously by being detained by the local police, then delivered, so to speak, to the vampire Mistress of the City. Alette, the Mistress, is a bit heavy handed at first, but Kitty gets things under control. She meets the local lycanthropes and hangs out in the Senate waiting to testify.

She's betrayed by someone she thought she could trust, is kidnapped and winds up Changing on national television. Other than the obvious comparison to Stolen (by Kelley Armstrong), I enjoyed this book. We're getting to see a bit more of who Kitty is and how she is developing relationships outside the pack.
