Publisher's summary

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.

Kitty Being An Alpha

Love the series and this book, at the core, was all about pack dynamics. Kitty hasn't been in the limelight as alpha of her pack since she took over at the end of Book 4. Nice to see her interacting with the pack as their alpha, and nice to see Ben backing her up. Cormac being back is icing on the cake.

fun distraction

Like everyone else, I think the premise of this series is fantastic: a radio talk show for paranormal complications/emotional issues associated with the creation of new paranormals, paranormal/mundane relationships, and the transition of paranormals to open and productive members of society. This series explores the adventures of the werewolf talk show host, Kitty Norville. While this concept could go horribly wrong, Carrie Vaughn consistently writes witty and tight plots with interesting relationships. I recommend this series as a fun distraction. Marguerite Gavin produces excellent performances and is a good choice for this series.

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.

Very touching story...loved it!

If you could sum up Kitty Goes to War in three words, what would they be?

Touching, entertaining, great!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Kitty Goes to War?

I loved the whole story...but the epilogue was very touching, when they take Tyler to seatle andn introduce him to his new pack....Kitty did a good thing...

Which character – as performed by Marguerite Gavin – was your favorite?

Kitty as always!! I love Kitty....but Cormac is a good 2nd...so elusive...

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I could have...it was really good...and unfolded perfectly....

Any additional comments?

I love this series, and may have never found it if it wouldn't have been in the Halloween sale....I am so glad I did!

More like Kitty sees war’s impact

“We’re all going to die!”
There’s two main storylines in this installment and they were both solid but not outstanding.
The biggest plot involves werewolves who served in Afghanistan and the additional kind of PTSD that comes with being both a soldier and shifter. The government lab rat setting is back.
All of these things made this arc rather dark and depressing.

“We’re going on a stakeout.”
The other plot involves figuring out what’s behind a lawsuit and how it connects to a chain of convenience stores too conveniently connected to unnatural goings-on. This could have provided more comic relief to balance the PTSD side, but sadly was only sporadically fun.

Ben: “Carmac! Anything even remotely resembling trespass or
breaking & entering is going to look bad to a parole officer.”
Kitty: “I thought a minute. I wasn’t on parole.”
My favorite part of this book was the way the three amigos, Ben, Carmac, and Kitty,
get readjusted and find a new normal of how their friendship works.

Excellent as usual

Kitty helps the Army with some rogue werewolves. There is also a wizard causing trouble. Interesting and fun to listen to while walking.
