Kitty Takes a Holiday (Kitty Norville, Book 3) (edition 2007)

Better and better, on to book 4' ( )

** spoiler alert ** I really like the Ben twist...however, I'm not sold on the romantic relationship aspect of it. ( )

Once more, the story here is self-contained and does not rely on the first two to be enjoyed, but I would still recommened reading them in order because there are some things in this one that would be spoilers when going back to the others. In fact, there isn't a lot I can discuss of the plot of this one without spoilers. Let's just say that it was very engrossing and exciting to read, probably the best in the series so far.

It was great to see Kitty in southern Colorado. I actually know where Walsenburg is! That's such pretty country out there too. I spent my teenage years in Colorado, so Carrie's books always make me miss it up there.

As far as the storyline goes, I still like the way Carrie is advancing Kitty and her maturity in dealing with her lycanthropy. I won't say anything else about it, but that she really has to "grow up" a bit in this one. ( )

This series gets better as it goes. The third book of four (so far), Kitty Takes a Holiday is non-stop. Although the book will stand alone, it is helpful to read the preceding books for a richer background.

This book contains more "stressful" situations for Kitty; it also leaves the least room for the flashes of humor as have been in the previous books.

The ending (not the epilogue) was a surprise to me, I wasn't sure how I felt about it. ( )
