I picked up this series truthfully because it is set in Colorado and I live in Colorado. And the series just keeps getting better and better. I can't wait for the next one.
In this book Kitty who was exiled from Denver has to come home because her Mom is having health problems. As always Kitty seems to have trouble find her. Because she has crossed back into Denver werewolf pack territory means big trouble will soon find her.
One thing I am enjoying about the series is although Kitty is the heroine she experiences real feelings. She might be strong and confident when she needs to be but she gets scared and confused and uncertain also. Things happen that are out of the characters control and she reacts to them in ways I feel anyone would if in that situation. The series is very well written, entertaining and engaging.

This series is keeping my attention. That is harder than it sounds.

Though communication would be key btwn Kitty and Ben. They had me pulling my hair out.
This was a good installment in the series.

My favorite of the series so far! Non-stop action and Kitty is fantastic!
Kitty gets character development! It's pretty great. Seriously, though, this book is when she starts to assume responsibility for her place in the supernatural community, and it's amazing to see the scared young kid of book one become the much less scared werewolf celebrity of book four. Her development feels organic and natural: Kitty's still not an action hero. She's still scared, and still unsure, but her growing confidence and competence are fantastic.
Her relationship with Ben is pretty nice, too! He's not the usual urban fantasy love interest, and their interaction is a lot more low-key than you'd expect from the genre. I like how Kitty and the Silver Bullet makes it clear that hooking up does not a relationship make.
The plot itself is similarly low-key. Kitty is very much on the fringes of vampire politics, and the fact that she isn't an action hero prevents the book from doing any huge, extended fight scene stuff. It's not as satisfying as it could be, but interesting nonetheless.

In this 4th volume of the Kitty Norville series, Kitty must move back to Denver because her mother is facing cancer treatments and she can’t bear to be away, even if it means her old pack of werewolves might hunt her down and kill her.
This is a return to form for Kitty. She does some radio shows, which have been my favorite parts of these books all along and I missed those scenes from the previous book. She also returns to Denver where she has to face the abusive relationship that she fled from in the first book. This time, though, she is not here to turn tail and run or to submit. She’s here to defend her right to live how she wants.
Kitty finally stands up for herself and I found that the way the character has grown over the last three books there was never any doubt in my mind how things would turn out here. She has changed from the timid and spineless follower she was in the first book and now she is a leader.
Kitty is short and small and will never be the physically strongest person in any given group of adults but she has learned to lead by intelligence and personality and sheer force of will. What made this book so satisfying was looking back at the progression of how Kitty has grown and changed over the course of the previous books.
It’s easy for characters to remain static, especially ones that are in a long running series such as this. The truly great series of books are the ones that see the characters grow and change over the course of the series, much like real people do.
Kitty has grown significantly but so has Carrie Vaughn’s writing. The first books felt awkward, like she was just trying out her newly found skills and wasn’t sure where everything actually fit. By this book everything is smooth, the plotting, the characters, the relationships, and the words themselves are comfortable and fit into place.
Carrie Vaughn has a great cast of characters and I’m interested to see where this series will go from here.
