Carrie Vaughn: Kitty Takes a Holiday
Kitty Norville #3
This is werewolf Kitty's third outing and after the traumatic happenings in Washington in the previous book Kitty feels as though she needs a break, so since she has a memoir to write she takes a sabbatical from her radio show and heads for the hills. Trouble is close behind, however. Someone is using magic to put a curse on her (barbed wire crosses, dead animals left on her porch). The locals obviously don't like having a werewolf in their midst. But they've got much more than a werewolf to worry about.
When Cormac the werewolf hunter shows up on her doorstep with an injured man, Kitty's problems escalate. The injured man is Ben, her dishy lawyer, and he's been bitten by a werewolf. Kitty has to ease him through his first full moon and try to persuade him not to kill himself before the wolf takes over. It means getting closer to Ben, but what about Cormac? There's definitely a spark there, but Cormac won't do anything about it.
And there's something lurking in the woods, something that's wolf but not werewolf, something that smells of death. Kitty's caught between a vengeful sherrif, a local witch, a skin walker and a prosecuting attourney out to make his mark when Cormac falls foul of the local law.
This is a light, fast read and I trust Carrie Vaughn's writing enough to believe that she'll resolve the ending of this in a future book.
