Kitty's Big Trouble

Kitty Norville, Book 9

By: Carrie Vaughn

Narrated by: Marguerite Gavin

Kitty Norville is back and in more trouble than ever. Her recent run-in with werewolves traumatized by the horrors of war has made her start wondering how long the U.S. government might have been covertly using werewolves in combat. Have any famous names in our own history actually been supernatural? She's got suspicions about William Tecumseh Sherman.

Then, an interview with the right vampire puts her on the trail of Wyatt Earp, vampire hunter. But her investigations lead her to a clue about enigmatic vampire Roman and the mysterious Long Game played by vampires through the millennia. That, plus a call for help from a powerful vampire ally in San Francisco, suddenly puts Kitty and her friends on the supernatural chessboard, pieces in dangerously active play. And Kitty Norville is never content to be a pawn....

Critic reviews

“Vaughn's top-notch paranormal series is as strong as ever. Readers of Kim Harrison's ‘Hollows’ series and Jim Butcher's ‘Dresden Files’ will appreciate Kitty's sarcastic wit, ingenuity, and independence.” ( Library Journal)

Marguerite what happened???

How could the performance have been better?

There are very few story tellers as good as Marguerite Gavin! She is a true gem in her field, however it is not fair to her nor her listeners if she sounds HORRIBLE with flu and jacked up on pain pills! Did editing not notice all the slurring? It is so distracting and uncomfortable to listen to I can barely deal with the story.

good book

good book great performance. reccomrnded. i enjoy the kitty books a lot. i. heartily reccomend this series for good light listening.

first kitty goes to dodge and has to get the heck out. then chinatown. her hair though is never perfect and she doesn't get any beef chow mein

Not one of her best

This was clearly not one of the best books in this series. Kitty seemed silly looking for historical figures who were also werewolves. She looked even sillier on a quest fro a magical object. Really!!!??? The story was a complete departure from what I like about the books: the relationships of the werewolves, and the relationship of Kitty, Ben, and Ccormac. The story wasn't very interesting, but I listened because I kept hoping it would get better. It didn't. The narrator was great. If it had no been for her I wouldn't have been able to get through the book. I hope the next book returns to the Kitty of previous books.

Har, har :)

Kitty Norville is back in Kitty’s Big Trouble. In this installment, Kitty, Ben, and Cormac try to keep a powerful artifact out of the hands of the dreaded Roman-not an easy task. This volume is a great addition to this series because we actually learn more about some of the vampires. Of course, many characters comment on the fact that Kitty is a werewolf with a feline name and all the preternaturals find it knee-slapping. I love it when Carrie Vaughn writes this joke into her books. It is a horrible joke and invokes that ‘har har’ feeling in the reader but the preternatural cast, excluding Mr. Kitty and Kitty herself, genuinely find it amusing and relatable. So, the use of this joke adds an ‘old quippy friend’ element to the tenor of this series that is endearing and brings a sympathetic and loyal smile to a reader’s face. Marguerite Gavin is still great!

Big Trouble In Little China!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you could sum up Kitty's Big Trouble in three words, what would they be?

Interesting, Entertaining, Fun!

What other book might you compare Kitty's Big Trouble to and why?

Similar to Cat and Bones....

Which scene was your favorite?

When Ben turns wolf and comes and finds Kitty....very sweet!!!

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

I kinda did! lol

Any additional comments?

Love this series...Highly recommend!!!!! And this installment was very good....kept my interest from beginning to end!

Story as expected, narrator...not

Would you try another book from Carrie Vaughn and/or Marguerite Gavin?

If you know the series, it's right there with the rest of them. However, I almost stopped listening because the narrator was not good.

Best One Yet!

Pure adventure, all the lovable Scoobies get to play, plus some great new revelations.

Kitty begins to come into her own.

Narrator slurring and using wrong words?!?

I’m only 30 minutes or so into the book and I’m already ready to skip it. My first thought, “is the narrator drunk”? I saw in another review that maybe she was sick and on medication, but same idea, she’s slurring and messing up the reading. Why didn’t the editor catch all these problems? I’ve invested in all the earlier books in the series on Audible, but I think I’ll request a refund on this one and just move on to the next book. (I hope Marguerite Gavin is feeling better for the rest of the series!)

What happened to Marguerite?

I love Marguerite Gavin, I don't understand what was up in this book, maybe she had a cold and they were in a time crunch.... the rest of the story was okay, I am getting tired of Kitty acting really stupidly, she should know better by now.

huh?

don't get me wrong, I luv the series and can't wait to listen to the next book, but this was my least favorite of series so far..too many characters that came in n out,too many unexplained events.
