About this eBook

Werewolf Kitty Norville and her mate Ben face-off against werewolf-hating bounty hunters -- on their honeymoon, no less --in this suspenseful follow-up to Kitty and the Silver Bullet.

Already the alpha pair of Denver's werewolf pack, Kitty and Ben are planning to tie the knot human-style by eloping to Vegas. Kitty is looking forward to sipping fru-fru drinks by the pool and doing her popular radio show on live TV -- but her hotel is stocked with werewolf-hating bounty hunters.
Elsewhere on the Strip, an old-school magician might be wielding the real thing; the vampire community is harboring a dark secret; and the irresistible star of a suspicious animal act is determined to seduce Kitty.
Sin City has never been so wild, and this werewolf has never had to fight harder to save not only her wedding, but her very life.

Ratings and reviews

Audio- Ben and Kitty head to Vegas to get married. They tried to do it the old fashioned way but it drove them crazy, Vegas sounded so easy. Right ? Nothing is easy for Kitty and Ben. First off they are booked into a hotel that has a gun conventions going on. Killers, hunters and other nasties fill the hotel. Then there is the weird magic act, that may not be a simple magic act. there is the Lion/Tiger and Jaguar show that has all of the supes suspicious. Wait there is more, The creepy decor of the cats lair. The laid back master vampire and the lack of any other werewolves, the missing man, the flying bullets. Phew-There is a lot going on in Vegas. Poor Kitty, she really gets a hard puzzle to solve in this mystery. I enjoyed the strength given to her character to work the details out. She did what she had to to get the resolution she had to have. She has to deal with some crazy old stuff that is not gone and not forgotten. I can't wait to read the next one.

Love the series but this book has a few little things that I don't love.
