great

I thought that this was a very intense and fun book. I loved the idea of a werewolf that is a DJ. It is refreshing to have a heroine who is afraid to do things and not just a brazen girl who all the men fall in love with on first sight. Kitty actually thinks over things and gets frightened with all the supernatural creatures and makes mistakes, so it is easier to relate to her when she acts all human and not all mysterious and "out-of-this-world".
Kitty is just beginning to find her feet and speak out in this book and I can't wait to see what she does in the next book now that she is more independent and not kissing the alphas (Carls) feet. It was on a sad note to finish the book on, but I think that Kitty is strong enough to cope. this was a great book and I think that everyone will enjoy this (except the saddos who don't write anything good in their reveiws for this book).

A great read

I liked the way Carrie Vaughen writes about Kitty and her wolf, how it's always there lurking inside her. It's refreshing to see she's not by any means head of the food chain in fact in this book we see her slowly finding her feet.
I thought the possible romance angle was interesting but sudden however it does fit with her trained submissiveness to look for a stronger person to care for her. Thankfully I believe as the series progresses we'll see her gaining that strength herself.
Other characters are interesting and I look forward to seeing more of the vamps in the next book.

Great fun and an interesting exploration of what it might be like to be a werewolf

I read this book as a natural follow on from the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series (Amazon told me that people who buy the Anita Blake books also buy this book). Although there are some similarities in themes - Vampires and Werewolves - these books are actually quite different in terms of style.
Kitty is a radio DJ with the midnight till 3am slot and she finds herself running a talk show about vampires, werewolves and other not-quite-human beings. Many of her callers are part of these groupings, and Kitty knows all about it as she herself is a Werewolf. We hear a lot about her pack with its leader (Alpha male) Carl and the Alpha female Meg, as well as T J, Kitty's closest friend in the pack.
The radio show is a great success but then Kitty is "outed" as a Werewolf and her life changes. She is the target of a werewolf exterminator, the police want to talk to her about a rogue werewolf that is murdering humans and her family are shocked that she hadn't told them. Plus Kitty finds her pack position as "baby" no longer fits and she starts to exert her authority and try to move up the ranks. Will this ever be possible?
What's great about this book is the way that Carrie Vaughn writes the Wolf pack parts. What would it be like to be part of a pack with all that entails (Alpha males getting to mate with whomever they choose). Kitty is trying to stay alive but her human side is also part of her wolf nature and she can't settle.
I really enjoyed this book - it's more lighthearted than the Anita Blake series although some of the subjects are quite deep and there is blood and gore. It's a fun read, though, which I would recommend. I've ordered the follow-up Kitty Goes To Washington after enjoying this one.

Not bad, but....
|
I have to say even although the book did have an alright plot line and the action scenes were good, there was just something that didn't quite make it great.
It's not quite up there with the likes of L. K. Hamilton (early ones), Kelley Armstrong or Kim Harrison, but it wasn't bad.
Not worth a second read IMO, though.
The female lead was strong and beleavable, the plot exciting, the other characters interesting, but it didn't really capture me as others have.
The plot has been mentioned before, so i wont go into it. I'd say it's a good werewolf flick to fill the time waiting for another book to come.
