Book Description

Publication Date: September 30, 2008

Tony Giodone made his living as an assassin--until one of his marks ripped his throat out and turned him into a werewolf. Now he's the best hired killer there is.

When a curvy woman in an expensive suit tries to hire him to kill her, his wolf senses insist that she is his mate. One kidnapping, a plethora of gunfights, a psychic coma, and two faked deaths later, Tony and Sue have new identities and are hiding in a community of Sazi shapeshifters. All seems well, until Sue begins to pull away from Tony and he realizes that if he can't be more open with her, he's going to lose her.

To add to his problems, Tony is getting flashes of other peoples' lives. He doesn't know if they're memories or fantasies--but he wants it to stop, because he's learning things he shouldn't about his friends and neighbors.

What's more dangerous than a psychic-powered werewolf assassin? Whatever it is, it's kidnapping and killing female Sazi . . . after it sucks out their powers. Its latest captive is the girlfriend of Carmine, the Mafia don who used to be Tony's boss. To get her back, Carmine will make war on all the Sazi--and while the Sazi would win, they can't afford to be exposed to humans.

Now it's up to Tony to save Carmine's girlfriend--and all of the Sazi.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Tony and Sue Giodone's story starts up right where it left off following their introduction in Hunter's Moon (2004). Tony, a Sazi wolf shape-shifter, formerly a Mob hit man, and the very human Sue are, as newlyweds, facing challenges posed by their intense link to each other and the politics of life for Tony as a new pack member. Tony and Sue risk life and limb when a horrifying kidnapper abducts the pregnant Komodo dragon shape-shifter who is of special interest to Bobby, the sometimes snake operative for the enforcement organization of the Sazi. The relationship between Tony and Sue proves that romance can sometimes mean staying in love despite adversity. Adams and Clamp are adept at writing intensely sensuous, hot lovemaking scenes, but where they really shine is in the creation of an unforgettable world where secret shape-shifters live, love, and scheme. Laurel K. Hamilton readers will enjoy this edgy world. Diana Tixier Herald

Review

"I read the book in one sitting. I look forward to the next book in the series, because it has to be the beginning of a series. A world this enjoyable deserves more than one visit. This book has some new twists in the werewolf's tail that were very cool."--Laurell K. Hamilton on Hunter's Moon

"An amazing, cutting edge paranormal adventure. . . I couldn't help but compare the first person, male narrative style to Mickey Spillane. Men will especially enjoy this fast-paced action/adventure paranormal, and women will be enthralled by the incredible, deftly written love-making scenes. I will anxiously await the next installment. Tony's character is just too unique, and too darn SEXY to stop with only one book. This has earned a spot on my keeper shelf!"--Tess Mallory on Hunter's Moon

"Talk about your perfect anti-hero! Tony Giodone is in a class by himself. This incredible novel is inventive, totally riveting as well as surprisingly tender in spots. Adams and Clamp are a powerhouse team that have opened the door to an amazing new world."-Romantic Times BOOKreviews, 4 ½ Stars, Top Pick on Hunter's Moon

"At first glance, Hunter's Moon might seem like any other suspense tale with shades of the paranormal. But that would be wrong -- this book is so much more than the standard. It is fast-paced, gritty, and just plain gripping."--Romance Reviews Today on Hunter's Moon

"Hunter's Moon  is a highly original werewolf story. If you enjoy werewolf stories, with a totally unique perspective look at the origination of the shapeshifter society, you don't want to miss this one!"--Reviewers International/ParaNormal Romance Reviews on Hunter's Moon

"There is excitement on every page as Ms. Clamp and Ms. Adams give depth to their characters. The pages steam with passion between Tony and Sue as they find each other. This is definitely a keeper."--Love Romance/The Best Reviews (Five Hearts) on Hunter's Moon

The latest addition to the Sazi world is OUTSTANDING!

CT Adams and Cathy Clamp throw you into the middle of an amazing world filled with Sazi. We get to enjoy another adventure with Tony, one that reveals a lot about him one wouldn't have guessed from the first book. And once again, Sue comes through IMO.

I personally loved this book, filled with surprises and so many new, wonderful characters... not to mention the villain. WOW, very impressive!

The final few chapters were powerful enough to take my breath away.

So please, do yourself a favour and READ this book. I recommend this book to both women and men.

This review is from: Moon's Web (Tales of the Sazi, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

In this follow up to Hunter's Moon our favorite anti-hero, Tony Giodone and his once suicidal but sweet wife are back. Tony is, as we learned previously, a werewolf. Bitten by his mafia boss's girlfreind in an assasination gone bad, Tony is transforming even further. Now he is developing new and rare psychic powers. He catches freaky glimpses into the past of the people around him. Plus he can actually see the color of a magical aura around his fellow Sazi, or were creatures.

Now we have a host of new characters for what is shaping into a great series. (And uniquely this series is told from the male perspective.) Tony's new boss is REALLY old russian mafia and he's running with the pack, Robert the python is getting some dragon lovin', a convention of crazily lovable sazi are coming to town, and oh yeah a giant were spider thingy is killing and kidnapping on a deadly rampage.

Tony is climbing the ranks of the Sazi and showing us a continually deeper look in to this new culture. This book is funny, inventive, and extremely action packed. It will have you on the edge of your seat or bed or "were"ever you read it!

This review is from: Moon's Web (Tales of the Sazi, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

I have gotten tired of some of the werewolf books out there and decided not to read any more, was I wrong, this series is outstanding. I think this is better than the last one and it was superb.

Tony is an assassin who was bitten by a werewolf. He was one of the best hitmen around. He has given up his profession to stay with his mate Sue, he saved her in the previous book. Now he has to learn to live with what he is and learn alot of new rules.

Sue had won the lottery and her life was made so miserable by her family she had tried to hire Tony to kill her. He wouldn't kill her but he would love her forever.

At the end of HUNTER'S MOON both of them were injured and being nursed back to health. Secure in their love for each other and ready for a new life. Faking their deaths saves Tony from the police and Sue from her family.

Tony is finally healed and joins the pack. But something about the pack mentallity undermines his physic connection to Sue. It is finally realized that he and Sue are double mates. That is the easy part. Being absorbed and learning to accept the pack is alot harder.

This is one of the most exciting, fast paced books I have read in a while. I don't want to ruin any of this for you, but this is an awesome plot. There are so many Sasi, shapechangers, you never know what you will meet. Each and everyone of them have different powers, now Tony must learn to control his powers, his temper, and his woman.

I can't say enough good things about this book. If you liked HUNTER'S MOON you will love the continueing story. I hope we get many more. A great fantasy, a great romance, and a thrilling story. DO NOT MISS THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
