Thanks.

I searched through the recent past entries and I can't find where someone made a suggestion of alternate authors to lkh. But not long ago, someone mentioned Carrie Vaughn and I'd like to thank them. I just finished reading all three of her Kitty books and I really liked them. The first book annoyed me at in the beginning, as Kitty seemed so weak and her pack leaders were such jerks. But she really grew a backbone and the books really took off. The second and third books were far better than the first, and I'm really looking forward to the next one this winter.
So thank you, whoever it was, for a good author rec. I really appreciate it. And I concurr with this rec, read Carrie Vaughn's Kitty books ('Kitty and the Midnight Hour', 'Kitty goes to Washington' and 'Kitty takes a Holiday' - yes, all the titles remind of porn, but they're really not), I don't think you'll regret it.

i love the kitty books. I did not know there was a third one. I must get it.

It was really good! A lot of Ben and Cormac in it, and plenty of mystery, too. I think it just came out the beginning of this month.

She'll definitely get my money! 'Kitty takes a Holiday' does sound like it would be leaning towards fluff, but she sure didn't have much in it. There were a couple of scenes with Ben that might qualify as a bit fluffy, but for the most part you're right - it was a serious storyline and solid writing. I loved it, and was sorry when I finished it so quickly.

Carrie Vaughn is amazing. I stumbled upon 'Kitty and the Midnight Hour' at a library book sale (crazy people, giving it away) and have loved the series ever since. I really need to go get the third book now...

I love Carrie Vaughn. After the first Big Scene with Ben (you know what I'm talking about) I just stared at the book for five minutes with my mouth hanging open, thinking: "You broke the Werewolf Hunter/Werewolf OTP cliche. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH."
Seriously though- that Romeo&Juliet, "I hate your species, but I love you." plotline is overdone to the ninth degree. Cormac fangirls threw a collective hissy, though.

I know, I thought it was heading the same way - Kittie/Cormac - too. But the Ben scene was lovely and I like him better than Cormac, too!
