Perfect for : Personal reading, anyone who likes vampire or werewolf stories

In a nutshell: In Kitty Raises Hell, what happened in Vegas DIDN'T stay in Vegas! After surviving a gun convention teaming with were-wolf hunters toting silver bullets, and a near were-wolf sacrifice by the followers of Tiamat, something has followed Kitty and Ben back to Denver and it looks like it is out for revenge - with fire and brimstone! When the thing that followed them back starts attacking members of the pack, Kitty goes to Rick for help, and when a mysterious vampire comes to Denver claiming to be able to get rid of the menace, Rick says NO! Add in a group of paranormal investigators from a national tv show, and you've got an action packed story that promises to take you to new heights in the supernatural realm.

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!

Readability: A fun and easy read.

Overall: I loved this book and highly recommend the series to anyone who is a fan of were-wolves, vampires and the supernatural. I also recommend this series to those who want to give this type of genre a try. ( )

Kitty is back! I thought this book was much better than the one that preceeded it. The groundwork for this book is laid out in the last, though, so I don't recommend skipping to this book. Kitty's attitude is out in force, Rick becomes a more interesting character, even if he is relegated to the sidelines, and the radio show continues to rock. ( )

Provide a brief summary of the book:

Kitty Raises Hell brings Kitty back to Denver and trying to protect her pack from an evil that was unleashed back in Las Vegas. Filled with action and suspense, the reader goes on another wild ride with Kitty that doesn't disappoint.

Likes?

What isn't there to like about this series? Kitty has become such a strong female character that I like more and more. She is learning more about what goes into being the leader of her pack while staying true to herself. I love the action and suspense that goes into each of these books and feel that each book has a fresh and original storyline.

Dislikes?

Hmm...I can't remember any. That is one of the problems when you get so far behind in book reviews. I do know that I felt that this book was better than the last one but other than that...sorry!

Additional thoughts?

This part is easy: I WILL definitely be continuing on with series and waiting impatiently for the next installment to come out. If you like paranormal and urban fantasy than this will be a series that you will enjoy. I cannot wait to see what Kitty gets herself into next :) ( )

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. But, with a lot of help from her friends, her pack and pulling all of her resources they rival again, I cannot wait for the next book in this series to come out. I wish books would come out more quickly than they do. But alas I must wait until next year to continue reading about Kitty and her pack. I am looking forward to it. ( )

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, because even though I read them back to back, and this book suffered far less from padding than the first one, it was still padded and whatever the publisher thinks, the author would have done far better to print one bigger book than these two half-arsed efforts.

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. ( )
