Hunter's Moon (Tales of the Sazi, Book 1)

This book was a wonderful read, especially if the reader is into the paranormal. The fact that the main character is a killer for hire did not bother me. It gave readers and I'm sure the writers something to over come. How does one come to like a "bad guy". Plus, how else would Sue and Tony have met? If the story was changed it wouldn't be "Hunter's Moon". I did have a problem with the scent imagery. Though it does make sense since Tony is a werewolf. Basically, there was action, romance, a plot, mystery, and a great deal of the paranormal. The characters had to overcome challenges that aren't normally seen in romances and something I've never seen since reading this genre...it is written from the point of view of the male main character in most, if not all of it's entirety.

HUNTERS MOON is a fantastic story that kept me wondering and imagining what was going to happen next. Reading each page I could see in my mind the story unfolding and it was like watching a really good movie, all I needed was soda and popcorn. This story has a good balance of romance, a thriller with plenty of action and the paranormal thread of Tony the werewolf thrown into the mixture to spice things up, and it certainly does that. This book is one that will fill you with excitement, make you care about the characters and make you want to see how it all turns out in the end. I more than enjoyed this book it was excellent it had a brilliant storyline and extremely well written, I hope that the authors will write more of this type, I know I would definitely queue outside or inside a bookstore to get a copy of this or any like it from these authors. This is a book you won't want to miss out on

Hit man Tony Giodone has seen some wacky whack jobs but this takes the cake. Sue Quentin, winner of a huge lottery jackpot, wants him to off her. She is so desperate to get away from her obnoxiously calculating and avaricious family she feels that death is the only escape. Tony, meanwhile, has made a miscalculation. Ever since he was bitten by one of his targets, he has experienced three days of amnesia at the full moon, during which he turns into a wolf, so he usually locks himself away in a soundproof suite in the Plaza. Fortunately, he wakes up this time to find that Sue is still alive and well. A powerful bout of lovemaking leaves Tony certain that he has found his mate, and he will do anything for Sue, even kill her if that's what she wants. This unusual, artfully constructed, and enticing blend of horror and romance will have wide appeal with its male point of view, intensely sexy love story, and caperlike action.

Welcome to a world where shapeshifters walk among us... Hunter's Moon is so much more than your basic paranormal romance novel. The story is told from the hero's point of view, unusual in romance novels, and quite refreshing. C.J. Addams and Cathy Clamp have created a fantastic alternate reality, with believable characters overcoming realistic conflicts. No posers or dilettantes here. The authors hook you right from the start when the hero, Nick, meets Sue, the heroine, at a seedy bar in a bad neighborhood. He's a hit man and she wants to hire him to murder someone-herself! Oh, and he's a fledgling werewolf too. I don't want to give away anymore, but I have to say it's so much fun watching Nick and Sue fall in love from his perspective. I couldn't put this book down, and read it until dawn. If you like Laurell K. Hamilton, Dara Joy, Sherrilyn Kenyon or Christine Feehan, you're going to love Hunter's Moon.

Take an ex-Mafia hitman, turn him into a werewolf, send in a fragile female willing to pay big bucks for her own murder, and you've got an amazing, cutting edge paranormal adventure - Hunter's Moon. Written by the collaborative team of Cathy Clamp and C. T. Adams, this entertaining, well-written novel is a gritty, fast-paced adventure with just the right touch of sexy romance. I couldn't help but compare the first person, male narrative style to Mickey Spillane.When Tony Giodone was accidentally turned into a werewolf by a mystery woman, he never got the lowdown on how his kind are supposed to operate in the human world. So he does the best he can. Ruthless and unemotional, Tony meets a new client, Suzi Quentin. Normally, he doesn't blink an eye about killing someone, but the client's request is an unusual one - she wants to hire him to kill her! Her family uses her and abuses her, and she doesn't want to live anymore. But before he can do the deed, Tony finds himself swept up in an intricate game of cat and wolf, with all roads leading back to Sue. Werewolves mate for life in this new reality and although Tony struggles against it, any thoughts of killing his client begin to disappear in the face of an all-consuming, supernatural need for her. As the two battle the forces of evil, along with the evils only men can do, Sue finds a new reason to live. Tony learns more about the creature he has become - and about the dark inner circle which steadily draws him inside its secret realm.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 on Tony's life as a shapeshifting wolf. Although this novel stands alone, this has to be the beginning of a new paranormal series from TOR. 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, Author of Jewels of Time, Circles In Time, Midsummer Night's Magic, To Touch the Stars, Highland Dream, Highland Fling, and in June 2005, Highland Magic.
