Most research on the social dynamics of wolf packs, however, has been conducted on non-natural assortments of captive wolves. The prevailing view of a wolf ( Canis lupus) pack is that of a group of individuals ever vying for dominance but held in check by the 'alpha' pair, the alpha male and the alpha female. Kitty, who is a werewolf, is part of a 'pack' consisting of other werewolves. Both werewolves and vampires seem to be your standard issue variety with no major twists. The only supernatural beings who appear in the first book are werewolves and vampires, though it's hinted that others exist. We aren't given a lot of explanation or details. So, in the Kitty Norville series, the supernatural is real and is pretty much taken at face value. In which I take a brief detour into academia so that I may rant about your stupid fucking werewolves:

Kitty's 'Midnight Hour' segments were entertaining.

Writing is good, above average for the genre.

There wasn't that much sex, and none of it was explicit.

Overall, I give Kitty and the Midnight Hour a mildly approving 'Eh, it was all right.' If I'm going to dip into the 'hotbodies-banging-the-supernatural' genre, I at least want a real story and real writing and some seriously interesting worldbuilding.īut, Carrie Vaughn is going to be at an event I will be attending soon, so I figured I should familiarize myself with her work, and the Kitty Norville series is her bestselling one. I have really not read a lot of paranormal romance in fact, I mostly dislike the whole genre on principle. With one sexy werewolf hunter and a few homicidal undead on her tail, Kitty may have bitten off more than she can chew. After desperate vampires, werewolves, and witches across the country begin calling in to share their woes, her new show is a raging success. Sick of lame song requests, she accidentally starts 'The Midnight Hour,' a late-night advice show for the supernaturally disadvantaged.

Kitty Norville is a midnight-shift DJ for a Denver radio station-and a werewolf in the closet. Inverarity A late-night radio DJ comes out of the closet as a werewolf.
