Kitty Norville, Alpha werewolf and host of The Midnight Hour, a radio call-in show, is contacted by a friend at the NIH's Center for the Study of Paranatural Biology. Three Army soldiers recently returned from the war in Afghanistan are being held at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs. They're killer werewolves—and post-traumatic stress has left them unable to control their shape-shifting and unable to interact with people. Kitty agrees to see them, hoping to help by bringing them into her pack.
Meanwhile, Kitty gets sued for libel by CEO Harold Franklin after featuring Speedy Mart—his nationwide chain of 24-hour convenience stores with a reputation for attracting supernatural unpleasantness—on her show.
Very bad weather is on the horizon.

"I really liked this book. After being diappointed after the last few books in the series, I was happy that this one seemed to be back on track. Kitty's support group is back, love the Ben, Cormac and Kitty dynamic. I read in less than a day, didn't want to put this one down. "

“Kitty is an empathetic character and smart as can be in this fast-moving urban fantasy.”
— BooklistI just don't know how else to say that Marguerite Gavin nails the narration.
— Fantasy is More Fun" More fascinating Kitty Norville. Carrie Vaughn just keeps knocking them out of the park. "
— Roy, 2/16/2014" I love Kitty, but this is one of my faves "
— Brenda, 2/15/2014" The tension in this one is really good, but after everything is said and done, I still find the Cormac possession bit to be a little out there. That's saying something, considering all the cray shit that goes down in these books. "
— Katie, 2/12/2014" Another fun adventure with Kitty and friends...easy to listen to on audio. "
— T.W., 2/6/2014" Read from 7/3 - 7/4. "
— Kristin, 2/2/2014" Another solid entertainer, although the military angle could have been done better. Still, it was fun & did bring up some interesting points & had its share of twists. I'm impressed that Vaughn has kept the series going so well. I'll look forward to reading another some time. "
— Jim, 1/18/2014" I like it and I started it yesterday and Finished it today. ( This is the Second time I have read it . it was action pack . Also Kitty Network grew By one and she was able to help a couple new wolfves to gain there life back after what happen to them . March 22 2011 . ) "
— Adam, 1/17/2014" Not my favorite. Too many plot lines. Good to see Cormick back, but his twist is a little too strange. "
— Brandy, 1/15/2014" Another good Kitty good! "
— Elvia, 12/24/2013" wow...really not what I was expecting after the last book. Good story, but I'm not sure how it advances the story arc...interesting though. Great summer reading. "
— Marci, 11/22/2013" I'm enjoying the books less as the series progresses. I'm not sure if that's because of a change in the stories, of a change in my reading tastes. I can't pinpoint any specific new flaws, but I found this one a little flat. "
— Cris, 11/5/2013" Not a bad story but all it did was introduce new characters without doing much to advance the characters we all know and love. "
— Barb, 9/11/2013" Another great Kitty story. "
— Daffodil, 5/9/2013" It was okay, and I did enjoy it, but two different stories going on, felt it was a little much, lots of werewolf angst. "
— Mary, 5/5/2013" Not as strong of a story as it could have been. "
— Susie, 1/23/2013" None of my local libraries carried any Kitty Norville novals at all.So I had to go out and buy them all. They were worth the $. "
— Teresa, 3/25/2012" Pretty standard Kitty fare. Solid entertainment. Not as much social commentary this time around. "
— TFGamer, 3/6/2012" Probably my favorite book in the series so far. Was glad to see the pack of three together again. The two plot threads came together seamlessly. "
— Lynda, 9/5/2011" I liked this book a lot better than the last one. I liked seeing the wolf pack work together to save another wolf. The secondary story of the magician threatening kitty seemed tacked on. "
— Amanda, 6/23/2011" This is a great series for urban fantasy fans. Kitty is the alpha werewolf of her pack, due more to heart and determination than physical abilities. "
— Rhonda, 4/15/2011" Not as good as the others in the series. Story didnt really evolve to what it could have done and what I was expecting. I will still reading the series though and get the next one when its out. "
— Sian, 3/28/2011" I didn't like it as much as the previous one. I liked the plot about the soldiers, but the two different plots in this book were too separate, and neither felt very engaging. Maybe the series is going on too long? "
— Genevieve, 3/21/2011" Kitty continues to be a strong female lead who bows to no one. And Cormac's twist was a nice addition. "
— Linda, 3/13/2011" I was really intrigued by both of the plots here, but I think they could have been integrated better. "
— Shanrina, 1/31/2011" This one was a little harder to read because i have a brother in the service and i worrie so much. still a great perspective on the times we live in and the type of war we are all fighting. "
