Another home run! I just couldn't put Kitty Raises Hell down! I see a complicated mess building in the background that I assume will be the major big bad to be defeated before the series comes to an end. It's been slowing building and I'm excited to see it so fully now!
In Kitty Raises Hell, Kitty's brought her Vegas troubles home with her and SOMETHING is harassing her and her pack. Things get pretty intense as Kitty tries to protect her pact from an unidentifiable evil. I loved seeing her refuse to back down - she's certainly become alpha! Who would have thought huh?
Ben's a great support to Kitty and just when I thought he wasn't quite co-alpha material he steps up! I think he could do/be more, but he lets Kitty run the show - because she's good at it.
In Kitty Raises Hell(a title I actually do get!) Kitty's amassing even more friendships - I'm starting to feel that Kitty has something in common with Rachel Morgan of The Hollows by Kim Harrison (beyond the same fab narrator, Ms. Marguerite Gavin). They both have this QUALITY - They pull people to them because, while they basically land in one disaster after another, they both have this deep down goodness. And I'm thinking that, much like Rachel, Kitty is going to be very happy she's amassed all these friends by the end of this series. Not to say that they're the same - the series are quite different. It's just a similarity in their heroines (which is one of the most important elements, right?)
Anyway, I felt like Kitty was in the battlefield with all these allies but for a good part of the book they couldn't even see the enemy - the cover was finally pulled back at the end and let's just say it's a small piece of a bigger picture that I can't wait to dig into!
As I mentioned above, Marguerite Gavin is a fantastic narrator and, at this point, I can't imagine reading these books. I liked her naration for The Hollows, but I like her better for Kitty Norville. It could be because I read The Hollow before listening, but she FEELS just right here. I will be devestated if I discover she didn't narrate one of the books...
More Kitty to come very soon!
