Fantasy. Fiction. HTML:Werewolf Kitty Norville returns in this action-packed story of paranormal investigations, full moons, curses,and cults �?? sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas. Kitty and Ben flee The City That Never Sleeps, thinking they are finished with the dangers there �?? but the sadistic cult of lycanthropes, led by a vampire priestess, has cursed Kitty in retaliation for the disruption of its rituals. She enlists the help of a group of TV paranormal investigators �?? one of whom has real psychic abilities �?? to help her get to the bottom of the curse that's been laid on her. Rick, the Master vampire of Denver, believes a deeper plot lies behind the curse, and he and Kitty argue about whether or not to accept the help of a professional demon hunter �?? and vampire �?? named Roman, who arrives a little too conveniently in the nick of time. Unable to rely on Rick, and unwilling to accept Roman's offer of help for a price, Kitty and her band of allies, including Vegas magician Odysseus Grant and Kitty's own radio audience, mount a trap for the supernatural being behind the curse, a destructive force summoned by the vengeful cult, a supernatural being that none of them eve… (more)

Kitty knows something from Las Vegas has followed her home to Denver. It smells of brimstone, uses fire and seems to have hands although she can't see them. This apparent demon begins widening its circle of destruction from Kitty to her pack and eventually the streets of Denver. Along the way,
This book is likely one of the first of many showdowns Kitty will experience during The Long Game. Because vampires live for so long they make strategic decisions that will place themselves where they want to be in hundreds of years. They have all the time in the world while other supernatural beings have less time. With each adventure that befalls her, Kitty is gathering recruits for a great battle and she probably doesn't even realize it. Heck, Carrie Vaughn may not completely realize it yet but I suspect she does. :) This is one author who has her act together.
One of thing I admire about Kitty is her confidence which has grown since the series began. She has her moments of doubt but she trusts herself. Kitty's thought processes are sound - she can recognize when a decision is based on fact or emotion but also trusts her instincts. One of those instincts is often knowing who she can trust and how far to trust them.
Kitty Raises Hell provides the first chapter to Kitty's House of Horrors, the next Kitty Norville adventure which left my mouth watering for more. I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

Kitty becomes involved with the paranormal investigators from the reality tv show Paradox PI, has the younger brother of her best friend TJ show up on her doorstep with a lot of uncomfortable questions and has a mysterious vampire appear who claims to be able to rid Denver of the demon. The vampire's price is free passage in Denver which immediately gives Rick, Denver's Master vampire, pause.This book is likely one of the first of many showdowns Kitty will experience during The Long Game.

view. Her mixture of hapless vulnerability and stubborn sass makes for an entertaining story. I'm still waiting eagerly for Cormack to get out of jail, but the side characters present are fun to 'watch' in the mean time. As for plot, Vaughn sure knows how to give us an interesting if simple concept and then make it all fabulously messy and complicated in the end. This series is definitely one to keep following.

I loved this book. I didn't just enjoy it, I devoured it. I left "Kitty and The Dead Man's Hand" feeling a little out of sorts. I just didn't think it was quite up to the usual Kitty tale. After reading "Kitty Raises the Bar", I feel like DMH is sort of an intro. In "Kitty Raises Hell", Kitty and

Ben are back from their wild experience in Las Vegas. They have injured, but not fully stopped, a strange cult of sorts. Now, the cult has sent something, strange even by Kitty's standards, after everything Kitty loves. Feeling like maybe Kitty can't protect them, tension begins in the pack. There also seems to be some new tension between Kitty and Ben. Add into that mixture, a sci-fi reality show cast who hunts down things that go bump in the night, and we have a full on-heady plot that NEVER slows down. I even got a couple brief vistis with my favorite paranormal main character, Cormac, who seems like he has some things going on as well! (new plot featuring Cormac, yippee!) So, even though I tried to find something negative to balance out my review, I just couldn't do it. This series as a whole, has gone from being one I liked, to one of my top 3 or 4 favorites. I'm sorry we have to wait until 2010 to see "Kitty's House of Horrors", which is my favorite title so far. Show Less

Trouble seems to follow Kitty no matter where she goes, and it certainly has found her in Denver. Something is stalking her and threatening her pack. She is up against a supernatural force she cannot explain, much less name. Seeking help from the crew of a televised paranormal investigation show,
She also is offered help from another source; a mysterious vampire offers his services but for a price. His price is high and both the Master Vampire of Denver and Kitty are unsure they can trust the man who says he is the only one who can stop the foe they are up against. As danger draws closer takes the life of someone close to her, Kitty is desperate and willing to try anything to save her friends and family.
I am beginning to see a pattern with the Kitty Norville books. I appear to like the novels that take place in Denver best (although I really liked Kitty Goes to Washington too). Kitty seems more settled in this book, although not completely. Her position in the pack is somewhat tenuous, especially with an evil after her that she knows so little about.
Carrie Vaughn continues to add new and interesting characters to the novel as well as bring back old ones that I am eager to learn more about. The longer the series goes on, the more I like the character of vampire Rick. Kitty has a good ally in him even though sometimes they do not see eye to eye. And I was pleased to see Odysseus Grant reappear—there’s still so much to learn about him!
Kitty Raises Hell is a great addition to the series. It was different and fun. I look forward to meeting up with Kitty and friends again in the near future.

This is the second part of what ought to have been one long book rather than two shorter ones (but more pages in total). It starts immediately after the end of Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand and 90% of the story is a direct continuation of that story, those characters and the like.
This is a shame,
The bad guys from Las Vegas send something to kill Kitty. It takes a while to sort out what it is, and Kitty is helped by the crew of a TV "most haunted" type show. A vampire tries to offer help, but it's all a con.
Too much vampire politics. Too much padding around the TV show stuff. Interesting story trying to peak through.
Not sure if I will be paying for the next one after these two. Ben is more annoying too, and that's not helping.

Once again Carrie did it. Kitty Raises Hell was awesome, Kitty gets into trouble again and it is not an easy task to fight off this one. A Genie what a creative imagination Carrie Vaughn has I didn't see that one coming. I figured a demon, it is pretty hard to fight something you can't really see.

Extended Review:
Characters: The main characters are back: Kitty, Ben, Cormac, Rick and Odysseus Grant. We also meet Roman, a vampire trying to get his foot into Denver, and Gary, Jules and Tina, the paranormal investigators from the hit tv show Paradox PI.
Story-Line: The story is really a continuation of book 5, and is full of surprises. In Kitty Raises Hell, Kitty now has a husband, is one of the pack alphas in Denver, her popularity continues to grow, and she is gaining more friends she can approach for help, and she is going to need it! I'm really glad that Carrie Vaughn decided to build on the relationship between Rick and Kitty - they are there to help each other when it really counts, and I hope that continues in future books!

This was a great addition to this series. For once Kitty is in charge; she is making smart (if not always informed) decisions and carrying out plans. Her wry sense of humor is still in force, there is a lot of action in this book and it clicks along as a super fast pace. I was happy that the storyline dealing with the Las Vegas shapeshifters was expanded on and Odysseus Rex was part of that wonderful storyline. Rick is a great character and another new mysterious vampire enters the scene.
I love that this book propelled itself forward without needing all the emotional baggage that comes along with the unstable relationships featured in a lot of paranormal series. Kitty and Ben have a happy, stable relationship and it is nice to see a good story where the characters are well-adjusted caring individuals.
The latest news I heard was that there was only going to be 7 books in this series. I am not sure if that is still true or not. Either way I am looking forward to the next book.

This review has the same caveat as my review of Kitty and the Dead Man’s Hand. I haven’t read the first four Kitty Norville books. I’m planning on it, having enjoyed these two, but I just haven’t had time (as is evidenced by the lack of posting around here lately; I’ve been insanely busy
Show More
with work and school!). So I can’t make a judgment call on this book based on how it fits into the series as a whole.I really enjoyed this book, more so than I did Kitty and the Dead Man’s Hand. I felt like the plot was more well-developed and depended less on coincidence and randomly appearing characters, and that definitely strengthened the story.I was a bit wary of a cast-of-thousands when the paranormal investigators of Paradox PI showed up, as I half-expected them to be a side plot that might clutter up the rest of the story, but I was pleasantly surprised when they turned out to be integral to the main plot. The team, consisting of two scientists and one woman with a very interesting secret, come to Denver to do their usual bump-in-the-night investigations and end up staying on to help Kitty with her Very Big Problem: a fiery demon sent by the cult of Tiamat, the vampire-led baddies from the previous book.The hunt for the demon is nicely creepy; I really like the suspense that builds in those scenes, and Kitty’s wolfish fight-or-flight fear is very believable and effective. I also liked her pack’s dynamics. It’s interesting, that she’s an alpha who rules through friendship rather than intimidation or violence, but I wonder how long she’ll be able to maintain that status quo.The subplot that most interested me was the one involving Roman, the mysterious vampire who shows up in Denver and offers to get rid of the demon–for a price. And unfortunately, the price is one Rick, Denver’s master vampire, is unwilling to pay. Roman tossed a nice little monkey wrench into the story. Should Kitty trust him? The answer to that is a resounding, “Hell no,” but the more important question is should she work with him anyway? She’s stuck between a rock and a hard place, and I was biting my fingernails, trying to figure out what she should do.Overall, everything in this book came together very nicely, and I was left feeling like some plot elements or characters came out of the blue in a deus ex machina kind of way. I really enjoyed it, too, and can I just say that it’s very nice to be able to sit down and read a book in one sitting? I’ve been reading a lot of literary theory lately, and it’s so refreshing to be able to sit down and devour a book in three hours without worrying about highlighting and notating important passages. It’s so lovely to be able to just enjoy a book. [happy sigh:] Show Less

Kitty was right to abide by the judgment of someone older and more experienced than her, even though it hurt to do so.
