"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 Fort 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 twenty-four-hour convenience stores with a reputation for attracting supernatural unpleasantness--on her show. Very bad weather is on the horizon."--P. [4] of cover.… (meer)

I liked this one better than House of Horrors -- series continues strong, and I wonder what role ex-green-beret military grade werewolves will play in the coming conflict. ( )

That had some good serious moments *and* some good fluff. ( )

A solid UF read checking off all the boxes for the time it came out.

You know, support the troops, even the werewolf troops coming back from Afganistan. Give them a safe place for when they might go off the handle and kill folks at home.

It's a decent feel-good novel but nothing all that special. Not really.

A little magic and a humorous new uber-villain (but not for the characters in the book) doing a bit of a murder spree spices up the tale. And then there's the new and improved Cormac the magic user.

I don't know. This is just fluff. It's fine and fairly entertaining but ultimately forgettable. ( )

I enjoyed this Kitty book more than its immediate predecessors which frustrated me because Kitty rarely involved her pack in anything, even though she's the alpha; we heard virtually nothing from her radio show and and her mate, Ben, kept being sent out of the way while Kitty saved the day.

"Kitty Goes To War" has everything I was looking for. It was a delight from beginning to end.

The main plot is about werewolves, in this case, militarised werewolves ( a black op pack gone wild - great idea). Kitty and her pack do their best to bring the wild ones back from the edge and Kitty learns a lot about what it means to be the dominant wolf, even when the others are bigger than you.

We hear more of Kitty's talk radio show, "The Midnight Hour", which always puts a smile on my face and this time led to a bizarre confrontation with the owner of the EZMart convenience store chain when occult occurrences keep being linked to his stores. It was an original and well managed twist.

Cormac is back. I always enjoyed him but never liked him. Hey, the first time we met him he'd been hired to kill Kitty. That's not exactly a character reference. Now he's out of prison and not behaving like himself, at least not all the time. The outcome of that sub-plot caught me by surprise and promises good things for future books.

Ben and Kitty finally seem to be working out as a real couple and the book is richer for it.

It seems to me that Carrie Vaughn has pulled everything together in this book. If the series keeps on like this, I will be a very happy reader. ( )

This book has a bit different structure than the others so far: there is a clear A and B story, that interact a bit but are essentially distinct.

First is the tale of werewolves who were Green Berets in Afghanistan. They are excellent, highly trained soldiers, but not really fully socialized as werewolves. Then their alpha wolf got blown up and they are now wreaking havoc.

Second is a mystery man who owns the Speedy Mart chain of stores. Kitty starts looking into what unusual stuff always seems to happen near or around Speedy Mart stores.

There's a lot of werewolf stuff, a little bit of vampire stuff, magic, and a paroled werewolf hunter who is acting odd.

This was fun, a fast read, and not the usual werewolf story. ( )
