Book Description

March 1, 2009
Sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas.


Kitty and Ben flee The City That Never Sleeps, thinking they were finished with the dangers there, but the sadistic cult of lycanthropes and their vampire priestess have laid a curse on Kitty in revenge for her disrupting their rituals. Starting at the next full moon, danger and destruction the form of fire strikes Kitty and the pack of werewolves she's sworn to protect.


She enlists the help of a group of TV paranormal investigators - one of whom has real psychic abilities - to help her get to the bottom of the curse that's been laid on her. Rick, the Master vampire of Denver, believes a deeper plot lies behind the curse, and he and Kitty argue about whether or not to accept the help of a professional demon hunter - and vampire - named Roman, who arrives a little too conveniently in the nick of time.


Unable to rely on Rick, and unwilling to accept Roman's offer of help for a price, Kitty and her band of allies, including Vegas magician Odysseus Grant and Kitty's own radio audience, mount a trap for the supernatural being behind the curse, a destructive force summoned by the vengeful cult, a supernatural being that none of them ever thought to face.

Carrie Vaughn Does it Again February 24, 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Kitty Norville is back in her sixth and most exciting adventure yet, a continuation of her Las Vegas tribulations in Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand. Her temporary defeat of the vampire priestess was just that, a non-permanent solution, and trailing her back to Denver is a fire-creature bent on destroying Kitty and her Pack. She is far from without her share of allies, however - the crew of a paranormal television series backs her up, as well as new-husband Ben and old vampire allies.

This is my favorite Kitty book to date, and I adored how the vampire political intrigue plotlines of the previous books continued through to Raises Hell. The "villain" is one of the best yet, inscrutable and nebulous in motives, as is as Kitty's maybe-ally, Roman, who offers his assistance to the Pack Alpha and Denver's master vampire, Rick.

Better than amazing writing from one of the best writers in the paranormal and urban fantasy genres, this book will blow you away. Perfect marks - don't miss it!

Kitty and Vaughn are still going strong, in this reader's opinion. I will agree with other reviewers on reading this one after Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand to catch some of the background nuances and for a proper intro to a couple of interesting new characters Kitty met in Vegas. I do think this chapter of Kitty's life as a werewolf is stronger than ever, the mystery is challenging to solve, the dangers thrilling, and the appearance of new characters mixed with favorites adds variety to the story without taking away from anyone. One thing about the latest Kitty, which I am very grateful for is this: Vaughn continues to focus on the mysteries and problems Kitty encounters in her world, romance is present but not overwhelming. In fact, Kitty's relationship with Ben comes across as very realistic; they have the same issues any other newly wed couple might have and the author seems to be resisting the recent lemming-like charge of other paranormal writers towards more and more romanticized relationships in their urban fantasy series. I, for one, am extremely grateful and I can only say, MORE Kitty and the Show that Isn't afraid of the Dark please!!! And a sincere thank you to Vaughn for staying true to the characters, the gritty reality of Kitty's world I have come to know and love! I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys Jim Butcher's Dresden Files & Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
One thing that I really like about Vaughn's Kitty series is that even with Kitty's ability to attract supernatural trouble, the stories about werewolf radio talk show host Kitty Norville have such a reality to them that I'd expect to be able to turn on the radio Friday nights and catch Kitty's show. Kitty Raises Hell continues the story begun in Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand (Kitty Norville, Book 5) - Kitty's attempt to skip over all the wedding planning hassle and head straight to the honeymoon by eloping to Vegas with her mate Ben - if you read the book you know how well that worked out for her.

Kitty Raises Hell picks up right after her return from Sin City and though she's breathing a sigh of relief that she made it back to Denver with her fur intact ... (sorry, even though it's on the back cover blurb, I just have to add my own mangled misquote here) ... not everything that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. It looks like the feline shifter death cult is out for revenge and they plan on making Kitty pay slowly, by taking out Kitty's pack and every thing that she loves first and then finally Kitty herself.

The real difference between Kitty Raises Hell and the previous book -- and this difference makes this an even better book -- is that in Vegas events just happen to Kitty and Kitty survives because she gets lucky, here Kitty takes charge. With her pack on the line, Kitty exercises her power and uses her resources to not only figure out what she's up against in the mysterious invisible malicious entity who smells of fire, but also to give herself a fighting chance of winning the battle with the vengeful spirit. Kitty picks up some fun new allies in the `ghost hunting' TV show cast who are filming their latest episode on location in Kitty's home town and who finally - be careful what you ask for - get the proof of the supernatural that they've been seeking. Kitty also gets an offer of aid from a mysterious and powerful vampire Roman who asks a very high price for his help. But one of the best parts of the book? I love that Kitty turns to her own show and to the expertise of her listeners to get the information that is so crucial to the fight.

Kitty's adventures are always fun, but Kitty Raises Hell is one heck of a good addition to the series and my favorite Kitty Norville book so far. What's up next for Kitty? Reality TV. Can't wait!
