Product Description:
Celebrity werewolf and late-night radio host Kitty Norville prefers to be heard and not seen. So when she's invited to testify at a Senate hearing on behalf of supernaturals, and her face gets plastered on national TV, she inherits a new set of friends, and enemies, including the vampire mistress of the city; an über-hot Brazilian were-jaguar; and a Bible-thumping senator who wants to expose Kitty as a monster. Kitty quickly learns that in this city of dirty politicians and backstabbing pundits, everyone's itching for a fight.

***POTENTIAL SPOILERS***
This is the second entry in the Kitty series & while most of the book is rather slow the last third of the book or so picks up. After that the author seems to get back to what she does best, creating a great story that keeps you reading until you find out what happens next.
The book begins where the second one ends, Kitty exploring life as an independent woman & werewolf, doing her show remotely as she tries to find her place in the world. She is summoned to testify in front of Congress & must go straight to Washington D.C. While there Kitty's world expands & she sees how others in her situation deal with being supernatural. However, this is also where Vaughn's novel gets weighed down in politics & is by far the slowest part in the entire series. It isn't until later in the book, once Kitty stumbles upon secret labs and possible experiments that the story gets back to familiar territory-unexpected plot twists, exciting changes, & interesting characters. The last third of the book is as entertaining as the very first book "Kitty & the Midnight Hour" and sets up the story for the third installment without leaving the reader hanging.
If you enjoyed "Kitty & the Midnight Hour" & want to continue the series, I suggest you read this book so you'll understand everything that happens in the later books but don't judge the series on this installment alone. Understand that this is the weakest of all the books & if you haven't read the very first one, don't start with this or you probably won't get much out of it.

Kitty, the werewolf turned talk show DJ, is on the move as a single werewolf without a pack's protection. Since her old pack was oppressive and abusive, Kitty is enjoying her new 'identity'. Here, Kitty has been called to Washington to testify before the Senate in a hearing publically announcing werewolves, vampires, and other creatures of the night. Kitty finds hereself messed up with new characters, she can't know who to trust and everyone seems to have their own agenda. By about 100 pages in this story, I was feeling disheartened. The story seemed slow, bogged down by too many new characters and not enough action. Time and again Kitty remarkes on things being a letdown, or 'anticlimactic' which fits the story here, actually. In the very first volume, "Kitty and the Midnight Hour", I remember being disgusted by Kitty and how she let the alpha treat her. That book turned around for me when Kitty decided to stop playing the weak victim. This story too ends up much better off than I had given credit for. An old favorite shows up from the very first book and several more interesting things shape up. There is a betrayal or two, a murder or two, and Kitty remains a strong heroine. I found myself a little sorry to have this one end. I also rate the bonus story "Kitty Meets the Band" as an excellent addition. It's only a short story, but its fun. I recommend this one, and I also look forward to the subsequent installment.

And no, I didn't buy it used... I bought it new, right here from Amazon. It goes from page 206 then jumps to page 239. If it was just misnumbering, that would be no big deal, but it jumps obviously in the story and I'm traumatized. Any one else have this issue? I can't imagine I got the only bad copy.

Kitty is invited to testify before the Senate so she goes, as the title says, to Washington, DC.
Her visit starts out auspiciously by being detained by the local police, then delivered, so to speak, to the vampire Mistress of the City. Alette, the Mistress, is a bit heavy handed at first, but Kitty gets things under control. She meets the local lycanthropes and hangs out in the Senate waiting to testify.
She's betrayed by someone she thought she could trust, is kidnapped and winds up Changing on national television. Other than the obvious comparison to Stolen (by Kelley Armstrong), I enjoyed this book. We're getting to see a bit more of who Kitty is and how she is developing relationships outside the pack.

Kitty goes to Washington to say her bit on a Senate hearing on behalf of supernaturals. In going to the hearing she also meets with some other super naturals, an older vampire, a hot were-jaguar and some dirty minds who will try to put her to the test.
I enjoyed this book as much as I enjoyed the very first one.
