**Werewolf Kitty Norville returns in this action-packed story of paranormal investigations, full moons, curses,** **and cults — s** **ometimes what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas.** Kitty and Ben flee The City That Never Sleeps, thinking they are finished with the dangers there — but the sadistic cult of lycanthropes, led by a vampire priestess, has cursed Kitty in retaliation for the disruption of its rituals. She enlists the help of a group of TV paranormal investigators — one of whom has real psychic abilities — to help her get to the bottom of the curse that’s been laid on her. Rick, the Master vampire of Denver, believes a deeper plot lies behind the curse, and he and Kitty argue about whether or not to accept the help of a professional demon hunter — and vampire — named Roman, who arrives a little too conveniently in the nick of time. Unable to rely on Rick, and unwilling to accept Roman’s offer of help for a price, Kitty and her band of allies, including Vegas magician Odysseus Grant and Kitty’s own radio audience, mount a trap for the supernatural being behind the curse, a destructive force summoned by the vengeful cult, a supernatural being that none of them ever thought to face.
