Ilustration As Books Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand (Kitty Norville #5)
HONEYMOON IN VEGAS?Already the alpha pair of Denver's werewolf pack, Kitty and Ben now plan to tie the knot human-style by eloping to Vegas. Kitty is looking forward to sipping frou-frou 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.

Kitty and Ben get married, but things are never as simple as they should be for her. It's a madcap trip to Vegas with lots of shows and gambling and an interesting supernatural sub-current through-out. She's not as much of a kickass werewolf in charge in this volume, but rather has to react to events that are thrown at her, finding unlikely allies and doing the best she can with the hands she's dealt. ('cause, you know, it's Las Vegas, and... never mind.) Ben doesn't seem to be up to her level,This is more of a 2.5 book. It's not bad, and like all the Kitty Norville books, it is a quick read. It's fun. It's a beach read, and doesn't pretend to be anything else (thank goodness). The darker tone from Kitty and the Silver Bullet isn't here, and its lack relieves fears that Kitty is going to be an Anita clone. For some reason, however, it is not as good as the others in the series.First, there is the problem of the title. All the Kitty books have titles that refer to something in the
Kitty and Ben have been together as a couple for a year and have decided to get married. Not wanting or caring about all the hoo-haa of a big wedding they decide to go to Las Vegas. There, her radio producer puts together a tv show for her instead of her usual radio show, with a live audience. So, the wedding's made even cheaper wit the radio station paying for the hotel and flight. They are booked into a hotel with a big gun show where Bens former colleagues, of the monster hunting variety, are
Having finished the book, I don't think there is a dead man's hand in this book, or at least not one that isn't attached to an only-as-dead-as-usual vampire. A minor quibble, though.I understand that a lot of people find the Kitty Norville books disappointing since Kitty hooked up with Ben (SPOILER) and those people would certainly not be placated by this one, where Kitty and Ben tie the knot.To me, Ben and Kitty are an utter failure as a romantic couple, but, after all, I didn't pick this out
Kitty and Ben, now the dominant alphas of the Denver area, have decided to tie the knot and make it official human-style now as well. Despite her mother's objections, a big, expensive wedding doesn't appeal to either Kitty or Ben, so they've decided to elope to Las Vegas instead. But trouble seems to follow Kitty no matter where she runs off to, and beneath all the glitz and glamour of the Vegas strip lies a darker secret... one that will put the lives of both Kitty and Ben in grave danger.This
Kittys back and getting married to her pack mate and lawyer in Vegas. I like the change of settings in the books. Kitty likes adventure and shes not big on planning. However, things never go truly right for the poor werewolf anyway. The hotel shes staying at is hosting a convention full of gun-toting bounty hunters, the vampires are super not helpful, and theres a few questionable characters that like turning things upside down for Kitty.Bens helpful and not helpful in this book, full of
This is most definitely my least favorite book out of this series. Wasn't a fan of Ben not really caring about his own wedding and I didn't like the whole cult thing. I love reading about cults, but this was just too weird. Hopefully this series doesn't go downhill for me. :(
