Editorial Review: Synopsis: The Center for the Study of Paranatural Biology has gone public with scientific verification of vampires, werewolves, and the like. As the country's only outed werewolf celebrity, Kitty Norville is called to testify before a Senate special committee investigating this new information. She has taken her talk radio show "The Midnight Hour" on the road and travels to Washington, D.C. for the hearings.Once there, she meets a colorful series of local personalities, all of whom seem to have secret agendas: Alette, the vampire mistress of the city; Luis, an uber-hot Brazilian were-jaguar; Fritz, a grizzled old werewolf and possible Nazi in hiding; Roger Stockton, an enthusiastic reporter who wants to catch Kitty shape-shifting on film; Senator Joseph Duke, the paranoid Bible-thumper who chairs the committee; Elijah Smith, self-proclaimed faith healer to the supernatural. And Doctor Paul Flemming, the scientist in charge of the Center for the Study of Paranatural Biology, who seems strangely reluctant to discuss where his research has taken him.As usual, Kitty just wants to speak her mind and stand up for herself.But when so many people see her as a means to their own ends, she can't run fast enough to stay out of trouble.

 Rating:  - Follow On keeps up the successThe Second novel in Carries Supernatural series and one that now that we've been introduced properly in book one, really doesn't pull any punches as the tale unwinds. Elements that were floating round in the first novel come back to haunt this second allowing for a bigger picture as well as allowing us to explore the world further. Idealistic, entertaining and above all a pleasurable way to burn up sometime I'd recommend that you get a bottle of your favourite drink in as you're going to have a hard time putting this novel down. Great stuff. Rating:  - Great follow up to "Kitty And The Midnight Hour"This book is the follow up to the wonderful "Kitty And The Midnight Hour" featuring a young werewolf who has a midnight talk radio show. In the first book Kitty found herself growing up and eventually had to leave her pack and go on the road when she felt they let her down. "Kitty Goes To Washington" starts a month after those events when Kitty is called to testify to a senate hearing on werewolves and vampires. She arrives in Washington and spends some time as a tourist, and alongside the usual American monuments and museums she visits a Werewolf bar (where she meets the rather lovely were-jaguar Luis) and the vampire Mistress of the City, Alette, with her sidekick Leo. However, whilst waiting to be called to testify, ... Read More: Rating: - Excellent follow on to the originalI discovered Kitty And The Midnight Hour quite by chance and I was keen to get the sequel. It is not a disappointment. The book is as refreshing and fun as the first in the series and apparently there's third one due Spring 2007. I like the perspective of the main character and her attitude is much lighter than what you might find in the Anita Blake or Merry Gentry series of books by Hamilton. The light style and the reflective humour of the character makes a change from other lycanthrope stories. This is well worth the read even as a stand alone without the original book. I'd be very surprised if anyone would be disappointed by this book. |
