Kitty's Big Trouble by Carrie Vaughn
4.0
I'll just start this off by saying I have been a fan of Carrie
Vaughn's Kitty books since the first one. The books are fast, funny,
full of action and imaginative. And this one fits right in.
In this book, Kitty is attempting to find out if any famous historical
generals were werewolves (specifically Gen. Sherman of Civil War
fame). During her investigation, she gets a call for help from the
vampire Anastasia. Kitty, her husband Ben, and the split human/spirit
Cormac/Amelia head to San Francisco and deep trouble. Along the way,
they meet enigmatic oriental gods, other werewolves bent on their
destruction, and the villain vampire Roman. Kitty learns some hard
truths about power, allies, and herself. She's most definitely not a
follower, but can she bring herself to be a leader? With her pack (all
three of them), she heads into major trouble, but once again, manages
to claw her way out.
While I loved the story, there were a few places where I had to stop
and say "huh?" There were enough of these spots that I'd have to put
this not at the top of my list of favorites, but that being said, it
was still a fun read. I am definitely a fan and if I have to pause at
a couple of spots, I'll accept that because the rest of the story is
worth it. I also love the fact that you don't have to have read all
the books in order to know what's going on. My favorite kind of
series.
If you're a fan of light, witty, action/adventure fantasy, definitely
pick this one up. In fact, pick them all up. You won't be sorry.
