Publisher Description
Kitty Norville, star of a New York Times bestselling series, is everybody's favorite werewolf DJ and out-of-the-closet supernatural creature. Over the course of eight books she's fought evil vampires, were-creatures, and some serious black magic. She's done it all with a sharp wit and the help of a memorable cast of werewolf hunters, psychics, and if-not-good-then-neutral vampires by her side. Kitty's Greatest Hits not only gives listeners some of Kitty's further adventures, it offers longtime fans a window into the origins of some of their favorite characters.
In "Conquistador de la Noche," we learn the origin story of Denver's Master vampire, Rick; with "Wild Ride," we find out how Kitty's friend T.J. became a werewolf; and in "Life Is the Teacher," we revisit Emma, the human-turned-unwilling-vampire who serves the aloof vampire master of Washington, D.C.
This entertaining collection includes two brand-new works: "You're on the Air," about one of Kitty's callers after he hangs up the phone; and the eagerly awaited "Long Time Waiting," the novella that finally reveals just what happened to Cormac in prison, something every Kitty fan wants to know.

"A collection bringing together previously published as well as a couple of new stories. It was interesting to see some more depth and background to the character's of Kitty's world. As well, interesting to see what Carrie Vaughn had to say about the creation of each story. "

Kitty's Greatest Hits Listener Reviews
-
" I was suprised how quickly I finished this book. I usually do not finish books of short stories as fast as other books. I think it was how much I liked learning more about the other people in Kitty's life. "
— Beth, 2/9/2014 -
" Really enjoyable, but I only recommend it for people who have read the Kitty series to-date. That said, good short stories that give those little extra details and backstory about the various characters in the books. "
— Shannon, 2/8/2014 -
" Not my favorite genre, but I was pleasantly surprised. Interesting short stories. "
— Justine, 2/3/2014 -
" I didn't realize that these had all pretty much been published elsewhere. When I started in on the first story I got major deja vu, and then looked in the copyrights and saw that it had been published in Wolfsbane & Mistletoe. Still there were a couple in here that I hadn't seen before and they were good reads. Liked Cormac's prison story. "
— Melodie, 1/8/2014 -
" Stories ok - but many have already been in other anthologies. "
— Lori, 1/7/2014 -
" This one is okay. I have read a few of the shorts in other compilations already, so not everything is new here. However, there were a couple that were eye-catching, in a way. Honestly though, I still much prefer the novels over the shorts. The short stories are good to bridge between two novels that are spaced far out from each other, so readers could get a temporary fix, but they can never compare to the real deal... "
— LL, 1/2/2014 -
" A great collection of stories including, finally, what happened to Cormack in prison. "
— Karen, 1/1/2014 -
" A good read,,,,,loved getting Cormacs story and more about Rick! "
— Sheree, 12/26/2013 -
" This is a great collection for Kitty fans. What happened to Cormac in prison? Well, you gotta read to find out! Also, how did Rick become a vampire? Great backstories for some of the longstanding characters in the Kitty Norville series. "
— Suzanne, 11/22/2013 -
" Nice anthology. I particularly liked Rick's background story and also the one about how the partnership between Amelia & Cormac began. "
— Wogc, 10/6/2013 -
" I'm not normally a short story fan, but this one held my interest through every story. Some fill in gaps from the books, some are just interesting stories in the same world, but all are worth reading. "
— Denis, 6/29/2013 -
" A good collection of shorts most of which I havent read before. Included were some stories involving Rick and the ones I wanted to read the most - the ones about Cormac. A fun read and you can see how her writing style has matured with the stories. "
— Hali, 11/22/2012 -
" I really enjoyed the Cormac back stories. Now I want to reread the series! "
— Tina, 7/25/2012 -
" I struggled to get through some of these short stories. They just didn't keep my interest, but I'm glad I stuck with it as the best story was saved for last where what happened to Cormac while he was in jail is revealed. "
— Geri, 4/1/2012 -
" Love, love, love, back stories! All of them were excellent "
— Brandy, 2/4/2012 -
" Nice background to some of the characters in the books. "
— Joann, 9/14/2011 -
" Wonderful collection. I love "excerpts" from large fiction universes, and it was fascinating to see some events from Cormac's perspective for once. "
— Hanna, 9/7/2011 -
