We’re back with Rocky and her family - this time at home. It’s two years after their Cape Cod holiday, and things have changed. Rocky and Nick’s son, Jamie now lives in New York; Rocky’s widowed father has moved in; Willa, their daughter, has moved back home after finishing college.

Rocky has become obsessed with the death of a young man from Jamie’s school year - as if she hasn’t enough to deal with, with her own increasingly perplexing medical issues (and I thank the NHS that our system is nothing like Rocky’s experiences!).

I love Catherine Newmans’s witty, clever, heartfelt writing. One minute I’m laughing along, the next moment I’m empathising with her and reminiscing about her (my) children when they were small - and feeling as emotional as she does! Ahh, menopausal motherhood!

This book just seemed to finish far too quickly for me - I enjoyed everything about it.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for my copy. All opinions are my own!

Kitty Takes a Holiday ( Kitty Norville book 3)
By Carrie Vaughn

Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

After getting caught turning wolf on national television, Kitty retreats to a mountain cabin to recover and write her memoirs. But this is Kitty, so trouble is never far behind, and instead of Walden Pond, she gets Evil Dead. When werewolf hunter Cormac shows up with an injured Ben O'Farrell, Kitty's lawyer, slung over his shoulder, and a wolf-like creature with glowing red eyes starts sniffing around the cabin, Kitty wonders if any of them will get out of these woods alive...


Another brilliant and interesting instalment from Kitty Norville I love this series. We see Kittt taking a break dealing with with some person issues, taking care of a friend helps her do this. These books are just so easy to read and never disappoint.
