Kitty Goes to Washington by Carrie Vaughn

Kitty Goes to Washington (Kitty Norville, #2)

by Carrie Vaughn

There's a hot were-jaguar in town, and Kitty's hungering for his touch . . .

Celebrity werewolf and late-night radio host Kitty Norville prefers to be heard and not seen, but when she's invited to testify at a Senate hearing on behalf of the country's supernaturals, her face gets plastered all over national TV.

Before long Kitty's inherited a brand-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 plans to expose Kitty as the monster he truly believes her to be. Kitty quickly learns that in this city of dirty politicians and backstabbing pundits, everyone's itching for a fight - and she's about to be caught in the middle.

I actually liked this second Kitty book a little more than the first. There wasn’t all of the pack politics, and Kitty is starting to show her backbone. Of course, there are politics of a different sort at work here, as Kitty has been subpoenaed to testify in front of a congressional committee about the existence of preternatural beings. She finds herself bombarded from all sides, by not only a fire-and-brimstone conservative senator and a tabloid reporter, but also the mistress of DC’s vampires. I did find the confrontation with cult leader Elijah Smith to be a little too quick, almost an afterthought. I think there should have been some more buildup for that storyline. But overall, I really liked this and will definitely be continuing with the series. And hopefully, there will be more of were-jaguar Luis!
