Merry Wanderer of the Night + TIME

Kitty Takes a Holiday by Carrie Vaughn

In book three of the werewolf DJ series, Kitty has decided to take a break from her DJ gig. After turning into a werewolf on live TV, who can blame her? She’s hoping this respite will give her the opportunity to focus on her book. But when someone starts leaving animal sacrifices on her front porch, Kitty gets the hint that someone in the small mountainous community is trying to scare her away. And then, Cormac (the werewolf/vampire bounty hunter from the previous two Kitty books) suddenly shows up on her doorstep. One of her close friends has been bitten by a werewolf. Kitty can’t help but remember when she “turned” and devotes herself to aiding in his transformation. As any fan of Kitty knows, nothing ever goes smoothly for Kitty. In the midst of dealing with the animal sacrifices, and her friend’s transformation, Kitty is a suspect in a chain of cattle massacres throughout the remote community. Kitty spots a creature with red eyes residing in the woods beyond her cabin. She can detect that it’s not a lycanthrope…but what could it be? What was supposed to be a relaxing retreat has turned into a race to prove her innocence, and to stay alive.

Vaughn has once again produced an exciting, fast paced piece of fiction. We delve deeper into the life of Kitty, and follow her as she’s forced to deal with her own issues with her identity. This further character development pulls the reader in even more. If you aren’t hooked on Kitty, you will be after reading this one!
