Goodreads Synopsis:
Talk radio meets supernatural fantasy in Carrie Vaughn's second adventure to feature Kitty Norville, a popular late-night radio host who happens to be a werewolf. In Kitty Goes to Washington, the lovable lycanthrope is subpoenaed to attend upcoming Senate hearings regarding paranormal beings. After Kitty consults with her lawyer, she reluctantly agrees to go to Washington. As a rogue wolf without a pack and no territorial home (see Kitty and the Midnight Hour), her brief stay in D.C. may even be a kind of vacation. Upon her arrival, she is accosted by Alette, the vampiric Mistress of the City, who insists that Kitty stay with her. The matriarchal bloodsucker says that she fears for Kitty's safety and even assigns her bodyguards; but as the renowned radio host sees more of the city and meets a group of peaceable lycanthropes that include a hunky were-jaguar, she begins to realize that the Senate hearings are only the tip of the iceberg of the complex and highly volatile subject of supernatural beings. Are they human? Do they have the same rights as everyone else? Or are they a disease that should be eradicated? While pondering these issues, Kitty becomes a prime target in a dangerous political game that includes a witch-hunting senator, an unethical doctor, and a reporter who will do anything to get an exclusive interview with Kitty.
Wait - what?!? no Cormac? no TJ? no magical succubus needs to satisfy all readers?
Yeah, that's right. I feel like this author took a page out of Laurell's books, then tore it to shreds then pasted it back together with pieces missing. She has a lot of the same attitudes as LKH, but it falls a little flat. Also, as she builds all these different possible romantic interests, the one you are led to wish for - AAANTT! not happening. The character you didn't pay attention to, or really give a hoot about gets the girl....I say again - wait...what?!?
When I found out Cormac went to prison while Ben gets to be the werewolf, I decided I didn't need to read any further in the books. While they were fun reads - I am not into disappointment.
