Kitty Norville is pretty much my ideal main character: someone who gets out of (and sometimes into) trouble by talking, not fighting - though she can fight if she must - and who builds a good deep bench of allies in the process; who gets through scary situations basically on chutzpah; and who is able to exercise a keen intelligence, even while terrified, outnumbered and outgunned.I wouldn't say that this is the best of the series, certainly, but I enjoyed it. I did feel that the big speech near the end, for which we got a lot of build-up starting early on, wasn't as powerful as I had hoped it would be. It did its job, though, and in a way, a speech that leaves much of the audience uncomfortable and thinking less of Kitty than they did before is a better move in a long-running series. It's worth the extra dollar or two above the price of an indie book to get decent editing, too. I have the samples for the next two books on my Kindle, and will be getting them next time I feel like this particular brand of urban fantasy: a medium level of stakes and action, a smart protagonist and a competent supporting cast.
This was not my favorite entry in the series.It was fun, but it felt like an installment that attempted to get the plot from point A to point B. There wasn't enough character development for me. That could be because Kitty and Friends are (mostly) self-actualized adults by now. However, it was still a problem. Other than being upset at events, and working to Save The Day, it didn't seem as the events in this book touched Kitty very deeply.That said, I will still keep buying and reading every book in this series because even a three star Kitty Norville book is better than most books out there.
I think this is where I finally leave the Kitty seriesyawn yawn yawn yawn
This book bored me a bit, I had t push to finish it.
Moves the series along nicely a good solid story
