Cormac and his cousin Ben were vampire hunters until one night Cormac killed for Kitty Norville and ended up in jail and Ben became a werewolf. Now Ben, a lawyer, and Kitty, still a weekly talk show host, are living together in Pueblo, about 100 miles from Denver. Lots has happened to Kitty since she escaped from the abusive leader of the Denver pack. She proclaimed her otherness to the world, or at least that part of it which listened to her radio show, The Midnight Hour, and, among other things, testified before Congress. It's the full moon and time for a change. Kitty doesn't feel very well, but she and Ben go for it and run and hunt through the night. On the change back to human, she finds out that she had a miscarriage. Werewolves can't get pregnant. They lose the fetus when they become wolf. Back at the condo, Rick, a vampire from Denver comes to ask a favor of Kitty. The Denver pack is deteriorating because of the exploitation of young werewolves by the pack alpha. At the same time, the chief vampire of the city is losing power. Rick asks Kitty to return to Denver to try to sort things out. A phone call from her father telling her that her mother is about to undergo surgery for breast cancer in Denver takes the decision out of her hands. Kitty must return and deal with family and pack problems. She is much stronger than when she left. Kitty Norville is the sort of person you really would want as a friend. She handles the strange people who call in to her show, who want to be turned into werewolves or vampires, or who think themselves supernatural beings, or who really are and have problems, with consistent kindness. No matter how dangerous it might be, she returns to Denver to be with her mother in time of need. Even a werewolf-vampire-killer (Cormac) befriended her when she needed help. Each book in the series would stand alone, but there are only four, and they are paperback originals, so the outlay would not be too great if you started with the first, KITTY AND THE MIDNIGHT HOUR. and continue on to finish the series.
