Kitty and The Midnight Hour by Carrie Vaughn

Kitty and The Midnight Hour introduces the reader to Kitty Norville who is a late night radio DJ and also a werewolf. Kitty begins talking about the paranormal on her radio show and before she knows what is happening the show begins to get requests and call ins like no other. All of a sudden, Kitty is being thrust into the limelight and not all of the supernatural creatures are happy about it especially members of her own pack.

This was a reread for me as I orginally read this one I believe before I started blogging. I jumped at the chance to participate with a blog tour over this series and decided to start from the beginning. I remember liking this one the first time and the 2nd reading of it didn't disappoint. I did have some qualms the first time I read it as I felt like Kitty didn't stand up enough for herself. This time I didn't feel that way at all which is probably because I've read the 2nd book and know that she begins to stand up more for herself (sorry if that is a spoiler). I've only read the first two books though and I am anxious to see where the author will take us. I love Kitty's character as she comes across as such a down to earth person. She truly cares about the important people in her life and you can't help but hope that things work out for her.

All in all, I enjoyed the chance to reread this book and it feels like I'm beginning the series anew. Be on the lookout as I review the next couple of books in the next couple of weeks and stop by on the 25th for the final review! I'm so excited to see where Kitty goes next. Great series so far!

My Rating/Recommendations: 4 out of 5; Recommended to those who enjoy urban fantasy or paranormal romance
Challenges: A-Z Challenge ("V" Author), 100+ Book Challenge, 1st in a Series Challenge
And here is a link to my original post on this book...it was when I first started blogging :)

  1. Ooh, I also read Kitty before I started blogging. I think this one could stand for a reread, too. I appreciate hearing what you thought about the second, which I haven't yet gotten to!

  3. I had this book, but not sure if I want to start another series this year. I really need to just focus on my book challenges. Maybe next year.

  5. I know...ugh! SO TEMPTING! (lol) I think I will wait to see if I have enough wolf. I know I have enough vamps. There are other categories I need to get busy on. I am working hard at filling the wizard's slot.

  6. I stil haven't started this series. I have this book at home but there are so many other similar series out there I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I will look for your your other reviews and hopefully get stuck in soon.

  7. I love rereading books, so I'm glad to come across another rereader! :) In my pre-blogging days, I reread a lot more. If only there was a challenge for it...lol.

  8. JKaye- Wizards, huh? The Wisdom book that I just read might fit in that category...or have you read any by Jim Butcher? I'm a huge fan and it is definitely a great series about a wizard.

    Rhinoa- I've finished the next two books in this series and will be reviewing them this week at some point. You'll have to let me know if you try them :)

    Eva- I am most definitely a rereader but don't do it as much as I used to. That is also because I discovered the world of blogging and my TBR list grew out of control!
