Once again my sister has introduced me to a new writer. I just finished reading "Kitty and the Midnight Hour" by Carrie Vaughn. I read it in a day. It is a fun, quick read, but well written.
The story is about a DJ that accidentally starts a talk radio show for the supernatural community in Denver. She herself is a werewolf going through an identity crisis, which causes mayhem in her pack. Throw in a conspiracy, a serial killer and a bounty hunter and you have an entertaining read.
The plot is dense with characters. You can feel that the author wanted the characters to go in one direction, but they themselves took her in another one. Luckily, she managed to rein them in and create a cohesive story. The novel is well plotted and the dialog flows properly and is believable (not stilted like some authors).
This is the first book in the series, and I can tell you that I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
If you want to check out her website site, here it is: http://www.carrievaughn.com/
Until next time!

Book Review: Hounded
My sister recommended this book by a new author. She really enjoyed it. So, I may as well try it. We do not have the quite the same interest in books. I like paranormal romance, and she likes urban fantasy (no romance).
The book is entitled "Hounded" by Kevin Hearne. His website is http://www.kevinhearne.com/. It is an urban fantasy about a really old Druid and his fight with a Celtic god. Basically, the druid has something that the god wants, and he does not want to give it up. Mixed in a good dose of god politics and a little mayhem. The story flows fabulously, there is no loose ends in the plot. The characters are richly described and well-thought out. You will not be able to resist Oberon and his devotion to the Druid.
The writing is flawless and the dialogue flows with quips and humor. There is nothing worse than stilted and dry dialogue, but that does not happen in this book. If you like urban fantasy then you will love this series. I am anxious to read the other books that are already out.
Until next time!
