Book Description
Kitty and Ben return - and this time they're fighting for their lives!
Product Description
TOO DARN HOT! Kitty and Ben thought they were done with Las Vegas, but it's beginning to looks like Vegas isn't done with them. A sadistic cult of lycanthropes and their vampire priestess have laid a curse on Kitty, revenge for her disrupting their rituals, and now an invisible evil that smells like brimstone and plays with fire has followed them home. The next full moon triggers danger and destruction in the form of fire, and it's not just targeting Kitty, but the pack of werewolves she's sworn to protect. Kitty needs help if she's going to be able to extinguish the terror that's threatening to torch them all!

Format:Mass Market Paperback
From the back of the book: `What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...except when it doesn't. Kitty and Ben return to their werewolf pack in Denver only to discover an invisible evil that smells of brimstone and plays with fire has followed them home. Stalking the whole pack, it leaves a charred trail of ashes and death across the city. Kitty seeks help from Rick, the master vampire of Denver, as well as from the paranormal investigators on a popular reality TV show. But when a mysterious vampire who claims to be a demon hunter - and the only one who can help them - suddenly arrives, Kitty and her allies won't be able to predict what he really wants...or what they must do to extinguish the terror that can torch them all.'
Kitty Raises Hell (KRH) takes place a week after Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand (KDMH) and deals with the fallout of the events in that book. In this one we see some past characters like Hardin, Cormac and we find out about TJ's past.
KDMH wasn't one of my favourites and so KRH didn't really excite me either. I'm waiting for Kitty and Ben to interact more with the pack. In KRH Kitty admits that the pack isn't close and that she only sees them on full moon nights. She fully realises her responsibility to keep the pack safe but she doesn't seem to know their names and or anything about them other than that they are werewolves. She fails to use them to help her fight the threat against the pack so they believe that she isn't doing anything to stop it leading them to challenge her authority. I know that not much time has passed between this book and Kitty and the Silver Bullet (which I absolutely loved) when she takes over the pack so I'm just waiting until there is more interaction between Kitty and her pack.

Kitty and the Deads Man's Hand was not my favourite Kitty novel but I think Kitty Raises Hell redeems the series.
Kitty and Ben have return from Las Vegas and unknown to them a supernatural being has been sent to extract vengeance from the Band of Tiamat. It starts of innocently enough (as innocently as public vandalism can be) with the defacing of the Full Moon's door and very quickly explodes from their. It has only been a short time since Ben and Kitty have been made alpha pair of the Denver pack and Kitty is still trying to understand the challenges and leadership responsibility that she now has. One thing that she is quickly realising is that she must protect the pack at all costs. This, I think, is the wolf side of Kitty growing and stepping up to the challenge. The violence evolves and there is still no understanding of what is hunting not only Kitty but the whole pack, leaving fire and ashes in its wake. Kitty is frantic to find the answers before it is too late.
Gradually, Kitty's circle of friends she can trust widens, and this I think adds more depths to the series. It is not just Kitty frantically running around looking for answers (though there is still plenty of that) she now has people that she can turn to in times of trouble, and as any reader of this series knows wherever Kitty is trouble is sure to follow. Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand, I would have given 3 ½ stars, Kitty Raises Hell 5 stars.

Having missed out on this book first time round, I really felt lucky to get it now as I absolutely love the Kitty Norville series. What you get with this series is a sassy heroine who whilst tougher than the average hero (due to her supernatural side) backs that up with humour, likeability and of course an unnerving need to get to the bottom of any mystery thrown her way.
Add to this Carrie's trademark snappy prose, cracking one liner's and of course a storyline that will keep you glued to the last page. Yes there's a body count, yes there's danger but best of all it's a story that really will keep you up to the midnight hour.
