Kitty Takes a Holiday

In

Kitty Takes a Holiday, Kitty is having a bit of writer's block. She's taken some time off work to write - or try to anyway. While in at the cabin in the woods, you'd think Kitty would find some peace and quiet. Nope, as always, trouble finds her no matter where she goes.

This time it starts out with a dead rabbit on the steps, but quickly grows into much more. We learn more about Cormic, Ben finds himself in a hairy predicament and Kitty becomes the alpha we all knew she could be.

This series is always a fun read. For me, some installments are better than others, but they have all been entertaining and I always look forward to returning to Kitty's world.

It probably wasn't exactly what I expected. Although, to be completely honest, I don't know really what I expected. This series has never been and will never be my favorite. It's okay, but these are books I can't remember at all after a month. This was also the case with all the previous books in this series. Therefore, apart from the fact that the main character's name is Kitty and she is a werewolf, I didn't remember anything.

However, it did not significantly affect my reception of this book. I don't think there are any strong connections between the books in this series. There is no single main thread that we look forward to developing in the next books. And this book is rather average and a bit dull. It's okay when you read it, but then it instantly fades into your memory.

I think there are two reasons for this. First, although we have a pretty decent storyline here, there is definitely a lack of action. This is a description of what happened, rather than something particularly exciting. Secondly, there are a few threads that might interest me, but none has been fully developed or used enough to actually do so. The mystery of Kitty's harassment is solved fairly quickly and leads to further events - a new thread. But among the other events in this book, I didn't even have time to fully feel the horror and anxiety that Kitty might feel. All emotions are kind of subdued.

But perhaps what surprised me most was the darkness of this book. No, darkness is not exactly the word I would describe it. I guess my point is that this book is quite realistic about the ramifications of the characters' decisions. Nothing is sweetened, including the ending. There is also nothing sweet about Kitty and Ben's relation.

But the thing that really surprised me and made me feel strangely sad was Cormac ending up in prison. I was not expecting it at all, because it is not a happy ending to this story. As I think about it now, it seems to me that Cormac's sentence only aggravated the lack of purpose of the whole story. Much of the storyline is devoted to Ben and Kitty's attempts to free Cormac. The fact that they fail for me makes their whole journey pointless. Everything is even more like a description of events without a specific point.

I don't quite know how to explain it.

Many people like this series very much. And this book is not bad despite all the things I wrote above. Probably one day I will read another book in this series. But if I don't, I won't regret it. We'll see how it goes.
