Commentary As Books Kitty and the Midnight Hour (Kitty Norville #1)
If you hate special snowflakes who are always so good at everything, and so strong, and have awesome powers ... If you want to read a story where the "hero" is a weak, submissive, powerless lackey.. If you are tired of reading shifter books about the alpha who is noble, strong, and kind.. And, maybe, for once, you would like to read the story of the loser of a werewolf pack.. Have I ever found the book for you! Kitty sucks. She is a complete coward who is constantly whining (literally - like a dog whines), cowering, shaking in fear, and hiding behind someone stronger than herself. She is the lowest pup on the totem pole and is super excited when the alpha of the pack rapes her after beating her up because she is so happy to have his attention. She also gives him half of every paycheck because he doesn't work. That's right, our alpha is a bully who beats up women and has the right to have sex with any member of the pack that he wants, even though he has a mate. Hmm, I wonder why I didn't like it?! After reading this, all I have to say is "Come back, snowflakes! All is forgiven!"

3.5 starsKitty isn't the typical urban fantasy heroine when she starts out - but I like she's not fake. She's in an abusive pack relationship but doesn't realize it for awhile, and the way she was turned into a werewolf was abuse again. She has no one other than her pack, who she seeks for comfort, until she finds her own with a paranormal themed late-night radio show that takes off across the coast.The radio station stuff was actually riveting - from funny callers, especially when they try toUpdated 10/8/12My review is a cautionary tale. If one listens to a book on tape and hates it, but it's something they expected to like, always give the print edition a try. Here is my review after I tried to read this book for the first time:I listened to the first couple of chapters on cd, and it was so bad I had to stop even though I still had a hundred miles to drive with nothing on the radio. Since then I've realized that a bad narrator can ruin an audiobook so I think I'm going to try to
This was a cool book idea, but the weak protagonist and horrible gender dynamics completely ruin it. There are plenty of ways to write werewolves. Why, why, why did this female author choose to write hers in a way that justifies the main character's repeated rape?This is not okay. Seriously. Take out the werewolf aspect of this book and you are left with a story about a woman being abused and repeatedly raped by a man who is treating other women the same way (oh, and taking half of their
Short version: I wish that I could say that I loved this book from start to finish, but I can't. I was frustrated with Kitty's weakness for much of the book, and it was only toward the end that I started to really get her. That's not to say that it was a bad book (it wasn't) or that I hated it until the end (I didn't), it's just that I'm a character reader, and I need characters to make sense. Unfortunately, to me, the characters and the "paranormal hierarchy" just didn't make sense until close
The first 35 pages or so made me want to put the book down and never return. Maybe I'm spoiled by such strong female leads like Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thomspon, and karen Marie Moning's Mac Lane. I about gagged when Kitty cowered and whimpered in front of her alpha and then let him screw her the next morning. Mind you he has a mate. He reminds me of the alpha in Briggs' Alpha and Omega series. The one who was taking his pack's money, and let Anna be used as a plaything to keep his crazy mate
Kitty is a werewolf who hosts The Midnight Hour, a late night radio program aimed at supernatural creatures. Every night she encounters her share of crazies, most of them are harmless, but one of them is a rogue who has started killing vulnerable women on the streets of Denver. With the police unable to deal with it, it's up to Kitty, with a little help from an assassin sent to kill her, to track down the rogue.This book is a lot of fun. It's probably not going to win any awards but it's great
Not sure how I feel about this series. It lagged in places but was super interesting in others. I think I will read the next book before I decide fully on it.
