In Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand, werewolf couple Kitty and her fiance Ben travel to Las Vegas to get married. Ben is almost left at the alter when Kitty is kidnapped by a bunch of hormone-laden werecats. Kitty's rescue options include a magician whose illusions might be for real, and a head vampire who seems more like a puppet governor - who can she and Ben trust in Sin City?

This was on of my least favorite Kitty books. Like Kitty Takes a Holiday, this story seemed better suitable to an anthology - it would have made a satisfying between the novels tale, but as a full-length book it did not satisfy. I did not find any of the Vegas characters very interesting. The events of the next book are premised on Dead Man's Hand however, so I fully expect Kitty to return to her usual fine form once she is back in Denver.
