What's in Your Library Bag Wednesday...

     Thank goodness for the rain!! For more reasons than one! It does make for good reading weather. So, what's in Your Library Bag this Wet Wednesday? I have a new author in mine. Her name is Carrie Vaughn and she is a paranormal author. I only picked her book up and tried it because it seemed so intriguing. The main character, Kitty Norville, is a radio talk show host, and a werewolf. Okay, first what werewolf is named Kitty and then to be a radio talk show host, too?? Too good to pass up. And surprisingly, The Midnight Hour, which coincidentally is the name of the first book in the series and the late night talk show she runs, really was good.Coming from a die hard Laurell K. Hamilton fan, that's saying something. I am hoping that as the series goes along that there will be an element of romance added, but so far the idea of a werewolf talk show host getting into trouble in the paranormal community is intriguing enough to keep me reading. There are shadows of some of the characters from the Anita Blake series, but nothing so edgy, dark or sexy.
    This first book in the series, The Midnight Hour, sets everything up for more. You  learn how Kitty became a werewolf and how her show started. She has a pack in the beginning and you see how that changes by the end. There is a hit man and a best friend. So far no lover, but I am hopeful. I'm on to number two in the series already, Kitty Goes to Washington, and there are around 8, I think.
     If you can't seem to get off of the paranormal bandwagon, like me, Carrie Vaughn is someone you might like to try.
