About this ebook

In this action-packed story of supernaturals, a werewolf talk show host for the supernaturally disadvantaged has bitten off way more than she can chew.
Kitty Norville is a midnight-shift DJ for a Denver radio station. She's also a closeted werewolf.
Her new late-night advice show for the supernaturally disadvantaged is a raging success, but it's Kitty who can use some help.
With a sexy werewolf-hunter on her tail -- and a few homicidal undead following her every move -- Kitty's about to face the fight of her life.

Ratings and reviews

I am not quite sure how I feel on this book. On one hand, the main character being a radio talk show host is unique and interesting. On the other hand the wolf pack dynamics are very off putting. It's presented as if that's how wolves act, when it's not how wolves act at all. (Though this could be explained away as a this specific pack dynamic.) Without going into any spoilers. There are a few events that happen that just don't make sense. Like the story pacing was rushed and it changed the way the story was told from there on out. It's still a decent read

Kitty is a werewolf radio alternative music host on late night public radio show. She stays off the main grid until, she starts letting her otherness drift into her radio show and becomes a public celebrity as a werewolf. Her pack, the local vampires and some religious factions are not pleased about her coming out and opening that whole can of worms. She as a submissive wolf must learn to deal with people trying to kill her, the cops trying to use her, her pack power struggles and try to help solve some recent murders. Life is never easy. I really enjoyed this romp through Kitties world. She grows and finds herself solving her own problems through trial and error. The pack dynamics where realistic, as was her character. A good solid urban fantasy.

I like Kitty's determination to be herself, not let her Wolf run her show (pun intended)!
