Kitty and the Silver Bullet by Carrie Vaughn


Synopsis from Goodreads.com
Kitty's radio show, Kitty's Midnight Hour, is as popular as ever, and now she has a boyfriend who actually seems to understand her. Can she finally settle down to a normal life? Not if this is just the calm before the storm. When her mother falls ill, Kitty rushes back to Denver -- and right back to the abusive pack of werewolves she escaped a year ago. To make matters worse, a war is brewing in the vampire community as Denver's two oldest vampires vie for the city, threatening the whole supernatural community. Though she wants to stay neutral, Kitty is once again drawn into a world of politics and violence. To protect her family, her lover, and herself, she'll have to choose sides . . . and maybe become what she hates most about her kind: a killer.


My review:
Wow I'm ploughing through this series, but it's a good, easy one to read.

Kitty finds herself back in Denver in this book, trying to avoid Carl and Meg, the alpha and his mate from her previous pack. She knows that if she runs into them, they will kill her and she doesn't want Ben to get involved or hurt either. However, her mom is seriously ill and therefore she has no other choice.

After inviting a celebrity vampire to her radio show, she meets up with her in her hotel suite the following day only to find Rick there (he had previously asked for her help in challenging Carl and Arturo, the vampire master of Denver, and she refused). Minutes later guess who comes in through the door? You got it! Carl, Meg and Arturo. Power games all round!

The rest of the book involves Kitty helping Rick to defeat Arturo and at the same time, coping with her mom's illness. Surprisingly some of the old pack come to help Kitty and she kills Meg with silver bullets and the rest of the pack eat up Carl! Detective Hardin is also on hand to help where she can, but she seems to think that arresting everybody is the way to go. It worked with the wolves, but less so with the vampires.

Kitty is now home and is the alpha female of her pack who have all admitted their submission to her. Rick is the master vampire of Denver and everyone else who is a potential threat have all been defeated in one way or another. Everything should now be a-okay right? I doubt it or the series would have ended with this book!

Can't wait to read the next one now!
