Kitty Norville is back and in more trouble than ever. Her recent run-in with werewolves traumatized by the horrors of war has made her start wondering how long the US government might have been covertly using werewolves in combat. Have any famous names in our own history might have actually been supernatural? She's got suspicions about William Tecumseh Sherman. Then an interview with the right vampire puts her on the trail of Wyatt Earp, vampire hunter.
But her investigations lead her to a clue about enigmatic vampire Roman and the mysterious Long Game played by vampires through the millennia. That, plus a call for help from a powerful vampire ally in San Francisco, suddenly puts Kitty and her friends on the supernatural chessboard, pieces in dangerously active play. And Kitty Norville is never content to be a pawn. . . .

That JUST arrived...seriously, I just signed off on it with Mr. Deliveryman who laughed as I tore the TWO boxes containing new books from his arms!
Kate wasn't in the second box...must be in the coming-soon THIRD box...somebody went a little pre-order crazy....but SO ready for CC4...maybe...
LOL! Hope she arrives soon. ;)
Hit List is getting some good reviews. It's being compared to the earlier books -Obsidian Butterfly in particular. Dare I read it. I swore off these after the last one buuuut...what if it truly is better? Argh! Help. Me. What should I do? To read, or not to read -that is the question. Hmm.
Well, it is getting good reviews from people who stuck with the series, right? So maybe they are just desparate for a few improvements? lol. Can you get it from the library? I say you are in too deep to stop now. :)Anyone preorder Nightfall? I decided not to given the price and it is an unknown but I really want to read it.
I'm doing the library route for Hit List...now that I finally can!
Library doesn't have it and it's not on their "buy" list either yet. They'll get it eventually though. Someone even said there was only 1.5 sex scenes but they don't mention a head count so it could be a massive orgy. I'm probably going to succumb. Let's hope curiosity doesn't kill this cat. :)
LOL, it could be a massive orgy that takes place over 30% of the book. :) What about ebooks at the library -- I know you have a kindle, but you could read it on your phone or on your computer?
You've just described Blood Noir, LOL! I just discovered last night that my library has joined NetLibrary (like OverDrive) and is starting to do eAudio and have an empty folder for eBooks so I'm hoping they'll add some soon. I might pay for it if I see others I trust liking it.
Hahaha, I thought I was making up an extreme! Very cool about the net library.
