**NEW RELEASE **
Format: MASS MARKET
Sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas.
Kitty and Ben flee The City That Never Sleeps, thinking they were finished with the dangers there, but the sadistic cult of lycanthropes and their vampire priestess have laid a curse on Kitty in revenge for her disrupting their rituals. Starting at the next full moon, danger and destruction the form of fire strikes Kitty and the pack of werewolves she's sworn to protect.
She enlists the help of a group of TV paranormal investigators - one of whom has real psychic abilities - to help her get to the bottom of the curse that's been laid on her. Rick, the Master vampire of Denver, believes a deeper plot lies behind the curse, and he and Kitty argue about whether or not to accept the help of a professional demon hunter - and vampire - named Roman, who arrives a little too conveniently in the nick of time.
Unable to rely on Rick, and unwilling to accept Roman's offer of help for a price, Kitty and her band of allies, including Vegas magician Odysseus Grant and Kitty's own radio audience, mount a trap for the supernatural being behind the curse, a destructive force summoned by the vengeful cult, a supernatural being that none of them ever thought to face.

Honeymoon in Vegas?
Already the alpha pair of Denver's werewolf pack, Kitty and Ben now plan to tie the knot human-style by eloping to Vegas. Kitty is looking forward to sipping fru-fru drinks by the pool and doing her popular radio show on live TV, but her hotel is stocked with werewolf-hating bounty hunters. Elsewhere on the Strip an old-school magician might be wielding the real thing; the vampire community is harboring a dark secret; and the irresistible star of a suspicious animal act is determined to seduce Kitty. Sin City has never been so wild, and this werewolf has never had to fight harder to save not only her wedding, but her very life.

My Turn
These are fast, easy reads and they are also clean. Probably not what you were expecting to hear when several characters grow an excessive amount of hair and run on all fours every now and then. Kitty Norville is a very likable character. She has been living her life quietly as a DJ at a Denver radio station. When she picks up the midnight shift she plays the music she loves and she opens the mike for requests. When a random discussion turns to talk of supernatural events it becomes so popular that she makes it a weekly feature. Two months later she is offered a national show and she reaches even more listeners. Kitty is careful to keep her own life private because she lives in that secret supernatural world. She had been attacked and turned a few years before and very few people know, including her family. But danger is lurking and her secrets may be revealed, if she lives that long. And that's only the first book!
Each book has a story that can be read alone but the characters continue throughout the series. I enjoy reading them in order but it's not necessary. Books 5 and 6 were just released in February and March of this year.
Thank you, thank you to Miriam at Hatchette Books for giving me these books and including me in the tour. It was my first one but I hope it won't be my last!

I had such a great time doing this tour, I played around with Kitty's playlist, tweaked it a bit and put a player up on my blog. (Okay I went for the obvious songs...like Spooky Little Girl Like you....but it was still fun!)
