Kitty's Mix-Tape

by Carrie Vaughn

2020

This collection drops back into Kitty Norville's world through stories spread across the series timeline. Kitty, her allies, and her enemies all get a turn, making it a fun way to revisit the wider cast.

Series background & context

The Kitty Norville books start with a great hook: Kitty is a late-night radio host in Denver, and she also happens to be a werewolf. At first she is trying to survive her pack, keep her head down, and answer calls from listeners dealing with supernatural problems. That talk-radio frame gives the series its voice right away. These books are funny, fast, and chatty in a good way, but they also know how to turn suddenly dark.

Kitty is the center, but she is never alone for long.

As the series goes on, her world gets bigger. What begins as a local urban fantasy setup grows into something more public and more political. Supernatural creatures do not stay hidden forever, and a lot of the tension comes from what happens once werewolves and vampires are dragged into the open. Kitty ends up dealing with pack power struggles, vampire courts, government attention, magical threats, and old grudges that have been waiting a very long time to surface.

Denver matters here. Even when the books send Kitty to Washington, Las Vegas, London, or elsewhere, the series keeps returning to Colorado, to radio, to Kitty's pack, and to the messy idea of home. Carrie Vaughn is very good at making the paranormal feel woven into ordinary routines. People still have jobs. They still argue with partners, call in favors, and try to hold a community together.

The supporting cast is a big part of why readers stay.

Ben O'Farrell, Cormac Bennett, and the vampire Rick all become more than stock urban fantasy side characters. Ben brings warmth and steadiness. Cormac starts as a dangerous wildcard and grows into one of the most interesting figures in the whole Kitty world. Rick, sly and hard to pin down, gives the series some of its best ambiguity. Later books also tie into Amelia Parker and the Cormac spin-off stories, so the world keeps expanding without losing its core.

There is a larger arc running under the monster-of-the-week pleasures. Roman and the vampire Long Game become the shadow hanging over the later novels, which gives the series real momentum. But even at its biggest, Kitty Norville never stops being about a woman finding her own voice and then learning what that voice can do. Kitty begins as someone other people underestimate. By the end, she is a public figure, a negotiator, and a leader, even if she would roll her eyes at all of those labels.

If you want urban fantasy that likes its action but also likes conversation, community, and consequences, this is a very easy series to settle into.
