Kitty Norville, werewolf radio DJ, has been called to San Francisco to help the vampire Anastasia locate a mystical artifact of immense power. Kitty doesn't appreciate being called in as cannon fodder, but assisting Anastasia will also mean hindering Roman, and she can't turn that down. Kitty, Ben and Cormac arrive in San Francisco to find that there are even more powerful forces involved in the search than ancient vampires. I was a little nervous about picking up Kitty's Big Trouble, as a lot of the reviews have not been good. Still, as I had enjoyed all eight previous books in the series, I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, I found myself feeling a bit let down. Although Kitty's Big Trouble has it's moments, the novel is strangely absent of many of the elements that makes the Kitty series so much fun to read. I love how the series normally puts a paranormal spin on ordinary events (for example, in Kitty Goes to War a group of soldiers returning from Afghanistan are suffering from PTSD, because they were turned into werewolves overseas). There are some elements of this in Kitty's Big Trouble, but the main plot is a very typical “find the magical artifact” storyline. Another element I've come to depend on from the Kitty books is Vaughn's knack for creating tension (Kitty's House of Horrors portrays this the best). Kitty's Big Trouble on the other hand is often empty of excitement and fun. Occasionally, it's even a little boring. There were a lot of things that just bothered me about this book. I know a lot of people don't like Ben, and I'm not one of them. I like the fact that Kitty's in a stable relationship with a decent person instead of picking up a new love interest with each book. Still, I can't help but wish that Vaughn would do more with him as a character. Beyond being Kitty's husband and a werewolf, he doesn't seem to have much of a purpose at this point in the series. On a larger scale, I couldn't help but feel as if the book was mainly filler. The plot had very little to do with Kitty. I often felt as if she could have been taken out and any token paranormal heroine could have been thrown in, and the book wouldn't have been that much different. Fortunately, by the time the book comes to the end, we do see a little development with The Long Game storyline. I'm not saying that Kitty's Big Trouble doesn't have it's strengths. I enjoyed the scenes that focused on Kitty working as a DJ (as I always do). I also thought that the San Francisco setting was a really nice touch, as well as getting to learn more about vampires Rick and Anastasia. Unfortunately, the book on a whole fell short to me. I hope that Kitty's Big Trouble is just a misstep of Vaughn's part and not a sign that the series has overstayed it's welcome.
