Kitty Norville, Alpha werewolf and host of The Midnight Hour, a radio call-in show, is contacted by a friend at the NIH’s Center for the Study of Paranatural Biology. Three Army soldiers recently returned from the war in Afghanistan are being held at Ft. Carson in Colorado Springs.  They’re killer werewolves—and post traumatic stress has left them unable to control their shape-shifting and unable to interact with people.  Kitty agrees to see them, hoping to help by bringing them into her pack.   

Meanwhile, Kitty gets sued for libel by CEO Harold Franklin after featuring Speedy Mart–his nationwide chain of 24-hour convenience stores with a reputation for attracting supernatural unpleasantness–on her show. 

Very bad weather is on the horizon. 

This go around with Kitty has her hearing a lot of weird things about a chain of convenience stores, Speedy Mart during her call in show. When Kitty ends up being sued for comments made on her show, she decides to investigate the callers stories about Speedy Mart & the paranormal activities that have been reported. Kitty also is dealing with a bit of a problem, three soldiers have returned from Afghanistan & they are a huge problem. They were turned werewolf, the ultimate killing machine but they’re also suffering from PTSD & are unable to control themselves after the Alpha that turned them died. Add to that Cormac has a secret, one that freaks even Kitty out.

Kitty Goes to War is the eighth book in the series, fans who missed the lack of Cormac in book seven will LOVE Cormac in this one.

The story-lines in Kitty Goes to War were amazing, from crazy things happening at Speedy Mart to the freaked out military weres. I had no idea what was going to happen next & I was rooting for the Soldiers. Then Carrie throws in Cormac’s big secret & you are hellbent on knowing what else is going to be thrown in. No matter what Kitty does, she always ends up in the middle of the action even when she wants nothing to do with it. To me, the best part of Kitty is that she really tries to keep out of all the drama but she’s always dead centre trying to help someone, complete with snarky attitude.

There are some real out of left field moments where you are shocked, especially with Cormac who has changed so much since he’s been released from jail, to Ben trying harder to look like the Alpha male that he is. I loved it, non-stop action complete with snark! Carrie Vaughn is continuing to make this series one of the best out there, complete with a solidly written cast of characters you wish you knew yourself.
