Kitty Goes to Washington (Kitty Norville, Book 2) by Carrie Vaughn
Kitty Norville is the host of her one-of-a-kind radio show, "The Midnight Hour" where she and her listeners discuss all things paranormal: werewolves, vampires etc. Since Kitty also happens to be a werewolf she is seen as kind of a celebrity expert in the field.
So when the Senate decides to hold a hearing about the necessity and validity of the Center for the study of the Paranatural Kitty gets called to the stand and she brings her trusty lawyer Ben.
Kitty is in a bit of a bind though trying to exercise her newfound freedom from the pack while staying out of trouble. Once in DC she is practically kidnapped and taken to the vampire Mistress' home where she will be 'safe.' Alette seems to be truly good but she is still a vampire. Kitty also gets to meet more 'weres' in DC and not just of the wolf variety. She meets a hot were-leopard and a bunch of new friends that hang out in relative peace without any of the pack posturing.
Once the Senate hearing is underway there are a whole host of witnesses other than Kitty including the Reverend Elijah Smith who is serious bad news for any in the paranormal community.
Kitty gets kidnapped again but on the night of the full moon by a series of individuals that want to prove their points about the paranormal.
Oh, and also there's a plot to overthrow Alette.
Basically there's a lot going on in this book. The action is very fast-paced and the book probably would have been better if the author had settled on one plot direction instead of several but you get a really good idea of how hectic Kitty's life has become.
Like many other urban fantasy books Kitty is the unwitting (and usually unwilling) heroine. Trouble just seems to dog her footsteps. :)
