Radio talk show host and werewolf Kitty Norville has reluctantly agreed to appear on a reality TV show featuring supernaturals. The group - 2 werewolves, a were-seal, two vampires with their human servant, a medium, a magician, a psychic and a ghosthunter - is sent to a remote mountain lodge, where they are to spend 2 weeks under cameras trying to convince skeptic author and paranormal debunker Conrad Garrett of the truth of their existence. But when the vampires' human and part of the production crew is found dead, it soon becomes apparent they have been tricked into a deadly cat-and-mouse game as they discover they are stranded with no power, phones or any easy way out, and hunters are waiting for them in the woods.

Carrie Vaughn scores another hit with the latest Kitty installment. A premise that could easily have degenerated into cliches under less skilled hands is developed into an exciting, suspenseful tale with no lack of dramatic character interaction, ending with plenty of fodder for the next books (yes, plural) in the series. I can hardly wait!
