Kitty Takes a Holiday

by Carrie Vaughn, 303 pages

In this third installment of the Kitty Norville series, Kitty is trying to get away from civilization after her traumatic exposure in Washington.  Playing Thoreau should help her recover from her experiences, except for the fact that it leaves her with too much time to think.  Things change, however, when bounty hunter Cormac shows up with Kitty's wounded lawyer needing a safe haven.  When locals start leaving slaughtered animals on her porch in an effort to scare her out of town, her holiday starts to feel less like Walden and more like a horror story.

Like the rest of the series, "Kitty Takes a Holiday" is a great blend of danger, mystery and the supernatural.  Compelling characters and twisty plots make for a book that's hard to put down.
