Publisher Description
After getting caught turning wolf on national television, Kitty retreats to a mountain cabin to recover and write her memoirs. But this is Kitty, so trouble is never far behind, and instead of Walden Pond, she gets Evil Dead.
When werewolf hunter Cormac shows up with an injured Ben O'Farrell, Kitty's lawyer, slung over his shoulder, and a wolf-like creature with glowing red eyes starts sniffing around the cabin, Kitty wonders if any of them will get out of these woods alive.

"#3 Kitty Norville paranormal mystery. Kitty has decided to take a break from hosting her supernatural talk show, The Midnight Hour, and heads for the hills (an isolated cabin in the mountains) to work on writing a book she's contracted for to share her life and experiences since becoming a werewolf four years previously. She's not making much progress, but her efforts are interrupted by the appearance of werewolf-hunter Cormac with her friend and lawyer Ben O'Farrell, who has been bitten and is now also a werewolf. Cormac hopes that Kitty can help Ben through the horrible first days and weeks and the first "change" at the full moon. Cormac and Ben have been best friends since childhood and at one time gave a promise to each other to kill the other if they ever were to become a lycanthrope. Cormac couldn't follow through on that promise and Ben is angry, but the situation is complicated by the fact that there was "something else" working with the wolf who bit Ben that got away, and Cormac is determined to hunt it down. While longing for some solitude, Kitty is happy to help Ben but then finds that the neighbors are not so keen on having a werewolf next door and Kitty begins receiving threats, dead animals on her doorstep and some kind of odd curse with barbed-wire crosses strewn around her cabin--and then Cormac's 'evil thing' shows up and makes itself known, but the hostile sheriff thinks Kitty is behind some attacks on cattle some few miles away. Things take a romantic twist (of course!) but it was well-done and not off-putting to me like some romantic side plots can be, so I'll definitely keep reading the series. Enjoyable, quick read"

" This has to be my favourite of the series so far. I loved all the cursed cabin stuff and learning more about Cormac's past. In fact, I just loved having Ben and Cormac playing such a big role in this one. I preferred the cabin stuff over the last 100 pages of legal stuff but I still enjoyed it. Apart from that ending. I so didn't want that to happen :( but I'm glad the Midnight Hour is back and I'm curious what will happen to Kitty next. "

" Another fun Kitty book. I do miss that Kitty is taking a vacation from her show, but unfortunately for her, it isn't much of a vacation. Kitty gets involved in drama with Ben and Cormac, and she handles it in true Kitty fashion. I really enjoy this series...as it is a fun escape from reality. I love watching Kitty grow into her lycathropy. "

" A Werewolf named Kitty! This book was a very good addition to the series. While it did not keep me up reading it was still a great story. I really enjoyed reading another norville adventure and seeing where she went. I recomend this book for fans of the series! "
— Wendy, 1/16/2014 -
" Ok, I give in. I'm still just giving it an "ok", but Kitty has grown on me and I want to find out what happens between her, Ben and Cormac. Looks like I'll be reading more Kitty. "
— Judy, 12/21/2013 -
" Amazing installment. A love triangle, but a triangle where I like everyone involved, so not so annoying. I loved how Vaughn wove all of the elements of this story together to create a story about three people stuck in a bad situation, trying to make the best of it while real life chugs onward. "
— Izzy, 12/20/2013 -
" Another decent Kitty book. Kitty has retreated to the woods after all the Washington DC drama, but it appears that trouble has followed her and the locals aren't too keen to have a werewolf around. Plus Kitty's lawyer gets into a bit of trouble. Another light, enjoyable read. "
— Allison, 11/2/2013 -
" With the tension between Ben, Kitty and Cormac, I thought this was the best book of the series (so far). "
— Cheryl, 10/13/2013 -
" I really like the Kitty books. I kind of was rooting for the other guy when she choose one for her love interest. Oh well... I think the one she picked was kind of wimpy imo. "

" Still maintaining her realistic plots and settings, I quite enjoyed this book. The ending left me very sad, though. "

— Emma, 2/25/2011 -
" A little too much whining, angst, & futility in the third book of the series - still a good read, but I hope Vaughn kicks it back into gear for the next installment. "
— Riana, 2/23/2011 -
" A good addition to this series, but so far the most life-changing for the characters. WOW. Didn't see much of that coming. Glad to continue this series. "
