Book Review of Kitty and the Midnight Hour (Kitty Norville, Bk 1)

Kitty and the Midnight Hour (Kitty Norville, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 6 more book reviews


If I am going to invest some serious time in a book series like this I need there to be two features to keep me satisfied: 1) the suggestion of a complex and detailed world which provides an occasional diversion from the primary plot, and 2) a unique take on the usual mythos, something unexpected, something more than the standard bag of cliche. Given those two features, I am willing to travel a few hundred pages while clumsy plot points are thrown at me. I am therefore not the ideal reader for the Kitty Norville series. I even read the second book in the series, in case the Midnight Hour was simply overworked to satisfy the publisher. It is all pretty vanilla.
