Kitty Goes To Washington by Carrie Vaughn

Oh my word it's been almost 4 months since I last made a post on here. I was doing so well keeping it up at first, but soon other things find themselves getting in the way. Anyhow...here's a little quick review of the book I finished at 2am this morning!

Synopsis from Goodreads.com

Celebrity werewolf and late-night radio host Kitty Norville prefers to be heard and not seen. So when she's invited to testify at a Senate hearing on behalf of supernaturals, and her face gets plastered on national TV, she inherits a new set of friends, and enemies, including the vampire mistress of the city; an über-hot Brazilian were-jaguar; and a Bible-thumping senator who wants to expose kitty as a monster. Kitty quickly learns that in this city of dirty politicians and backstabbing pundits, everyone's itching for a fight. 

My review:
This book follows straight on from where the first one finished. Kitty is still hosting her Midnight Hour radio talk show, which tends to focus on the supernatural and has quickly developed a cult status.


In this book Kitty travels to Washington and is soon accosted by the local vampire leader who informs her that the local werewolves and other were-creatures do not have an alpha so are much more dangerous towards her. On a night out, Kitty meets a were-jaguar and soon develops a quick love affair with him.

Kitty gets called as a testimonial witness to a hearing about the report that Dr Fleming started on the biology of werewolves and vampires. During one of these hearing sessions Elijah Smith, the weird cult leader comes to give his statement, claiming he has developed a cure for both vampires and werewolves. Kitty, along with a psychic and a news reported go to investigate his caravan of troops and soon find out that he is not all that he seems. Some breadcrumbs, salt and herbs later and Elijah Smith is taken care of!

Dr Fleming, a senator from the hearing and the news reported from earlier get involved in a plot with the vampire leader's second hand man and Kitty finds herself in a very awkward situation on the night of the full moon. Everything does eventually turn out ok, even if it's not necessarily the way that Kitty would have wanted it. She helps, Annette, the vampire queen and manages to leave Washington more or less unscathed!

Another fast paced book and well worth the read! Can't wait to start the next one now!
