Series Review: Kitty Norville Series {Books 1-7} by Carrie Vaughn

9 comments

 

Kitty Norville series

Kitty Norville is a midnight-shift DJ for a Denver radio station - and a werewolf in the closet. Her new late-night advice show for the supernaturally disadvantaged is a raging success, but it's Kitty who can use some help. With one sexy werewolf-hunter and a few homicidal undead on her tail, Kitty may have bitten off more than she can chew?

From Goodreads {Blurb from Book 1 in the series, Kitty and The Midnight Hour}.

    I don’t know what took me so long to review this series, but The Kitty Norville series is one of my favorite Urban Fantasy series out there and each new release gets me itching for the next Kitty novel.

    Kitty is a werewolf and when the series begins she is basically surviving at the bottom of the pack, trying to stay invisible and being abused by her pack’s Alpha. She works at a radio station and suddenly she finds herself telling the world about her supernatural existence and hosting a weekly late night radio show, Kitty and The Midnight Hour.

    That’s where Kitty’s story starts being told and throughout these 7 novels she goes through such a incredible, terrifying journey, that you can’t help but being riveted by the stories Carrie Vaughn weaves.

    On the romantic side we get a begining of something with werewolf hunter Cormac and later a stable and loving relationship with Cormac’s cousin, Ben. I love both men and even though things seem to have settled in the heart department for out girl Kitty, I feel that things might get rocky, even though I do love her relationship with Ben.

    On the plot side, the series is absolutely rich, full of supernatural creatures, dangerous plots, nasty villains and interesting characters, what more can you ask for from a great Urban Fantasy series?

    Least Favorite Book in The Series So Far: Kitty’s House of Horrors, Too little moments with Ben =/ Though it is a creepy and awesome plot!

    Favorite Book in The Series So Far: Kitty and The Dead Man’s Hand, Great Creepy plot and the romance is awesome!

      I LOVE this series - it's one of the best urban-fantasy's out there.
      I am still desperate for a Kitty/Cormac hook-up, even though I adore Ben too!

      I haven't loved the last 2 books in the series, however... it just feels like not a whole lot is happening with Kitty's character. And there's never enough Kitty/Ben or Cormac for my liking.

      Glad you like the series :)

    2. I agree with you! I need more Ben and Cormac =P

    3. I haven't picked this series up yet but I've heard of it. Kitty being the name of the main character as made me laugh but is also the reason I haven't read it yet. Cheesy names for characters only take me so far but I like your review. Gives me a better look into the books :-)

      @Savy

      oh hon, you so should!

    6. A great series, indeed! I need to read the last one. Thanks for the spotlight!

    7. my pleasure hon! hope you enjoy the latest one =D

    8. I have wanted to get to this series as I have heard of great things about it. And you just back all that up. :) Thanks for the great review. I didn't realize there was 7 books to the series. Wow! cool!

    9. @Melissa

      My pleasure!!! I love when a series that seems awesome has a bunch of books out already! I hope you enjoy them =)))
