Kitty and the Silver Bullet by Carrie Vaughn

4.0

I relished the fact that Kitty is pushed out of her comfort zone in Kitty and the Silver Bullet. In this installment, she cannot continue with her tail between her legs but must face the demons in her past. As she returns to Denver to care for her ailing mother she is approached by Rick, a vampire who wants to overthrow the current rule by staging a coup. Kitty is faced with the tough decision of joining in on a potential turf war or sitting on the sidelines.

Kitty honestly surprised me in this book, she was no longer a pushover and good riddance to that scaredy-cat (pun intended) because we finally see her asserting her dominance and being the bad bi*ch I always knew she could always be. Carl and Meg were on my stink list for being total alphaholes so I was glad to see someone stand up to them.

Kitty has progressed so much from the victim of the first book to a vivacious and sassy woman. I enjoy reading her because I always feel a sense of realism as if she could actually be living in Denver and I am following along on her adventures.

The most jaw-dropping thing aside from this was definitely the "romance". I was left utterly shook by the turn of events and hope a certain character will make an appearance again.

I listened to this via audiobook and must commend Ms. Marguerite Gavin for her sensational voice range. My favorite has to be "Radio Kitty's" voice which is the perfect balance of sexy and sensual but also upbeat and fun. Marguerite voiced each character perfectly and was able to switch from Kitty to Ben to Rick to every other character smoothly and convincingly. She also can infuse just the right amount of emotions in her voice to portray utter excitement, heartbreak, worry, and sadness.

I was on the fence about Kitty before but now I am pretty excited to listen on to her adventures!
