Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand by Carrie Vaughn

Synopsis from Goodreads.com
HONEYMOON IN VEGAS?

Already the alpha pair of Denver's werewolf pack, Kitty and Ben now plan to tie the knot human-style by eloping to Vegas. Kitty is looking forward to sipping fru-fru drinks by the pool and doing her popular radio show on live TV, but her hotel is stocked with werewolf-hating bounty hunters. Elsewhere on the Strip an old-school magician might be wielding the real thing; the vampire community is harboring a dark secret; and the irresistible star of a suspicious animal act is determined to seduce Kitty.

My review:

I loved this book - it was the best one so far in the series I think.

Kitty and Ben head out to Las Vegas for this book to get married. At the same time Kitty is asked by her producer, Ozzie, to do a live TV version of her Midnight Hour radio show. Everything is getting organised, but when they arrive at the hotel, they find that a gun show is also being held in the same hotel. A gun show which involved lots of people with guns and bullets. People with silver bullets too, who are associates of Ben and Cormac. Quite inevitably Kitty doesn't feel very safe around these kind of people.

Kitty meets the local vampire master, Dom. She also checks out the local talent, a magician whose magic seems to be real and a troupe of were-shifters performing a rather seductive act. Kitty is intrigued by both acts and tries to convince them to come on her show.

Her show goes rather well. The wedding is all ready. Ben has won a poker game in a Texas Hold 'Em competition and Kitty manages to get some time next to the pool drinking a froufrou drink - just like she wanted. What could possibly go wrong?! Oh how could I ask such a daft question?! Of course something has to go wrong. The book would be pretty boring if it didn't!

So anyways...Ben gets kidnapped after complaining that there's some cheating going on in the next round of the poker game. Cue Kitty on the hunt trying to find him. the wedding has to be cancelled obviously as there's no groom and Kitty finds herself in a very dangerous situation, only to be saved by the very last people she expected.

I loved how Kitty would do anything for Ben, even though she knew she was walking straight into a trap, although it wasn't quite the trap she was expecting. Ben managed to get himself out of where he was being held, the bad guys were arrested or killed and finally Ben and Kitty get married in a white, convertible Cadillac by Elvis! Sounds like my kind of wedding - no stress of organising there!

But there's not a completely happy ending - someone tracks Kitty down back to Denver and gives her a little reminder of who she pissed off in Las Vegas.
