I enjoy all of Carrie Vaughn's books. I just read this one also (Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand) and laughed out loud when Brenda showed up in the book. The knee-high boots, short miniskirt, leather jacket and possible hidden weapons totally made me think of Anita Blake. Have you read all the Kitty books? When I read the Kitty and the Midnight Hour, I admit I was put off at first by Kitty's submissiveness. I almost put the book down. But the writing style kept me reading. Soon I was rooting for Kitty to stand up for herself. Carrie Vaughn has definitely written a believable character within a fantastical world. Kitty doesn't have stupendously grand power jumps. She gradually grows as a character. While I still enjoy a totally kickass heroine, (would really love one that has NO angst) I can appreciate a scared, submissive werewolf who learns how to be assertive and eventually ends up an alpha, leading her former pack. The next Kitty book has just come out also, Kitty Raises Hell. Just bought it yesterday though I haven't started it yet because I am once again in the middle of reading at least six books.
