Kitty Norville, after having been outed as a werewolf on national radio and then having to testify before a Senate committee in Washington, has retreated to a cabin in Southern Colorado to write her memoirs. The nearest town, Walsenburg, is 30 miles away, so Kitty can change into a wolf and hunt rabbits whenever she feels she needs to. She meets her lawyer Ben O'Farrell, from Denver, in Walsenburg to clear up some small items. Ben is on his way to New Mexico to meet Cormac, his cousin, a werewolf/vampire hunter, who is, also strangely, Kitty's friend. The memoirs aren't going too well. And Kitty is troubled by the dead rabbits left by her cabin and the bloody crosses painted on her door. The crosses made of barbed wire left around the dwelling don't help either The sheriff isn't impressed. He doesn't think that the signs are warnings, just notices that the neighbors want Kitty out of the area. Then Cormac shows up with a badly wounded Ben, who has been bitten by a werewolf, thereby being infected with the organism that will cause him to become a shapeshifter. Kitty has had over four years experience of having been turned, so she is the logical person to help Ben through the difficult first transformations. Someone else has gone onto late-night radio giving advice to the terminally weird. Kitty keeps trying to catch her rival out in an error that might harm someone, but that doesn't happen. Kitty must live with her choices, and those of Ben and Cormac. This is the third in the Kitty series. It is as well written as the other two books and would stand alone if it had to. But if you read only KITTY TAKES A HOLIDAY, then you are depriving yourself of the others that have gone before which are equally absorbing. The characters leap off the page as do the situations. Can Vaughn continue to keep her standards this high in KITTY AND THE SILVER BULLET? We'll have to wait until next winter to find out.
