Kitty Goes to War

Kitty Norville, Book 8

De: Carrie Vaughn

Narrado por: Marguerite Gavin

Kitty Norville, Alpha werewolf and host of The Midnight Hour, a radio call-in show, is contacted by a friend at the NIH's Center for the Study of Paranatural Biology. Three Army soldiers recently returned from the war in Afghanistan are being held at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs. They're killer werewolves - and post-traumatic stress has left them unable to control their shape-shifting and unable to interact with people. Kitty agrees to see them, hoping to help by bringing them into her pack.

Meanwhile, Kitty gets sued for libel by CEO Harold Franklin after featuring Speedy Mart - his nationwide chain of 24-hour convenience stores with a reputation for attracting supernatural unpleasantness - on her show.

Very bad weather is on the horizon.

The best book yet!

What made the experience of listening to Kitty Goes to War the most enjoyable?

I just realized that Kitty's pack has been very discontented to this point. Considering what they faced, their reaction was normal. However, in this book we get to see the pack working together as a team. We also get to see and experience a full-moon romp from the werewolves' perspective. This was great and I enjoyed all of this action very much. But that isn't the best part. Cormac is back. I won't say more than that, but I love him and his role in this book is very interesting.

What other book might you compare Kitty Goes to War to and why?

I always compare books about weres to other were series. It is interesting to see how Kitty's pack stacks up next to the packs in the Kate Daniel's series (by Ilona Andrews) and the Mercy Thompson's series (by Patricia Briggs). Kitty ranks just behind the other two series...which is great since they are my very favorite series on werewolves.

Which scene was your favorite?

Probably when Ben shows some jealousy toward time Kitty spends with Cormac. I'm very glad there is no temptation on Kitty's part (or Cormac's part) to be unfaithful to Ben. Anyway, this scene is cleverly written - and again it is from the werewolf point-of-view.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I didn't cry, although a few sad things do happen. I did giggle quite a few times - Kitty just has a way of getting in trouble!

Any additional comments?

I have already purchased the next book and look forward to reading it...right now!

Great series

This is as good as her whole series I'm so glad audible put them all on, the whole series is one of my fav's.
If you like this genera you'll love these book. Really great stories, I recommend if you have'nt read any of these book start at the beginning and read them all the way through because they are a continuing series and audible now has them all.

great book, as always bad narrator

not a fan of the woman reading. I dont like how all her male voices sound the same, like a bad Obama impression

Book 8 and I'm still not bored!

I really expected to have lost interest in the story line by now! A big NOT! I love the fresh twist and the new adventures - I'm not even finished with this audio yet and it has me on the edge and excited about what's going to happen next. Gavin is the greatest - I actually found this series by looking for works by Gavin.

Great story, characters and narrator.

Love this series. Got here by following the narrator from Kim Harrison's "The Hollows" series. This is one of my favorites in the series.

Good story, but a little less kick to it

Seems to be a quick listen, but carries on with the Kitty theme quite well. We have Cormic back, with a new secret, and Kitty's mouth gets her into yet another bad predicament. Oh well, that's what Kitty's life is, and why I read her stories. It's another good tale, but seems to be lacking something. I just can't figure out what that is. I'll keep reading this series, cause I do like the characters, but maybe I'm just getting a little tired of them too.

Really good addition to the series :D

4-4.5 stars

This was a really good story and addition to the series. Kitty and Ben are doing fine and living their life when Kitty gets a call from a Doctor she knows at the NIH's Center for the Study of Paranatural Biology. Kitty is informed that a werewolf that was in the special forces decided to make himself a squad of werewolves. Unfortunately, he got killed and the squad fell apart without him. A number of the members got killed in pack power/dominance fights and now there are only 3 still alive. The kicker comes when Kitty is informed that the 3 remaining special forces werewolves were being detained at a local base and escaped...so now they're headed into her territory and seemed bound to cause chaos and destruction.

Kitty and a few members of her pack are able to intercept the invading werewolves and enable to military to capture them. Once that's done though, Kitty is determined to help them if she can. While the alpha of the new werewolves isn't getting loose because of the men he killed, the other 2 aren't as far gone and Kitty convinces the military and the NIH to allow her to do what she can for them. While this is going on, Kitty also has a bit of legal trouble stemming from a show she did about all the supernatural occurrences that seem to take place at Speedy Mart convenience stores around the country. The owner of the company decides to sue her for liable and Ben suggests hiring Cormac to check behind the scenes for any info that could help counteract the suit. This turns up more than they were expecting and Kitty and her pack have some fast work to do to save the city from a blizzard to end all blizzards. Thankfully, things get worked out and Kitty, Ben and the pack are doing well in the end.

This was a really enjoyable story. I really love Kitty as a heroine and really like the Ben, Cormac and the supporting cast as well. Cormac finally told his secret about what happened to him in prison so I'm looking forward to seeing how Kitty reacts to that. This was a really good and engaging story. I'd recommend it and the series. :D

A good read, but not the best in the series.

Any additional comments?

I like the story for the most part, but I couldn't give it a full five stars. After listening to the previous book I couldn't help but feel that characters were only introduced in order for her to have someone to kill off. I would have preferred the use of more secondary characters that you felt you could actually care about their story, and not just see them as newly introduced potential fodder that are there for the main characters to react to when they bite it.

Ok but not the best

This book was my least favorite of the seires, but saying that I still enjoyed it.
