Kitty and the Silver Bullet
4 Stars

When Kitty's mother becomes ill, she and her werewolf mate, Ben O'Farrell, return home to Denver only to find themselves caught up in a Vampire turf war. To make matters worse, the local werewolf Alpha with whom Kitty has an antagonistic past is out for her blood. Will Kitty be able to keep those she cares about safe from the fallout?

This is a definite improvement over the previous installment on all fronts. Kitty is finally coming into her own and stands up for herself although she is still in dire need of some self-defense classes as she still finds herself worse off in physical altercations.

Moreover, the chemistry between Kitty and Ben that was sorely lacking finally puts in an appearance and the developments in their relationship as they work together as a team and love and support one another make the romance a lot more believable.

Vampire and werewolf politics are the focus of the plot with some intriguing revelations and hints at additional twists to come. I look forward to seeing where Vaughn takes her characters in the aftermath of the events in this book. ( )

Delightful, and delighted that the series seems to keep getting better. I'm interested to see where it goes next. ( )

Good fun. ( )

I was a little worried about the 4th instalment of this series since Cormac was one of my fav character and, after the end of the previous book, I knew he wasn’t going to have a major role in this one. However the story was really catching: for the battle of power that started between the two fractions of vampires and werewolves and for the personal one Kitty & Ben have to face. Speaking of the last one I liked that the author took the time to put them on the condition to question the basis of their relationship, giving them the possibility to understand each others’ motives better, and didn’t let them go on their merry way without a thought.
Not strange at all, or even surprising, is the fact that I loved how Cormac gave Kitty the means to face her fears...in the end I was really satisfied by this book and now I’m not very patiently waiting for the next 2 (due in February & in March 2009)!
