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

I read up to the point where the werewolf hitman for the mob had managed to lose track of when the full moon was and shift in front of the woman who was trying to hire him to kill her and gave up. Sorry, just can't buy a werewolf assassin dumb enough not to be more careful about when and where he's going to get furry.

What a surprise! These authors create a paranormal romance world very similar to Sherrilyn Kenyon's in all its abundance of shapeshifters. I have to admit I prefer Hunter's Moon to Kenyon's stories.

In a refreshing departure from current convention, the authors chose to tell a story from the hero's point of view in first person narration. Tony happens to be a hired killer, and his latest client, Sue, wants him to kill none other than herself. However, he is also a werewolf, and something about this lady's scent gets right under his skin.

Scent features prominently and quite originally in describing a werewolf's ability to recognize emotion. At times, it may even become too much, but I was quite taken by the complexity of Tony's awakening to his own feelings. Rather potent concepts of energy exchange make for quite a climactic final battle.

I also appreciated that we are introduced to a world of shapeshifters through the perspective of a hero who is himself knew to being a werewolf. Tony's relationship with Sue brings his new powers to the fore. The more he lets himself be drawn to her, the more of his powers come into play to challenge his course of action, the deeper he is taken into a reality populated by paranormal beings as varied as people, and with just as many rules. I love the way the authors used the concept of wolfs mating for life to deepen Tony's internal struggle rather than make the plot predictable. Even though I knew I was reading a romance and that they always end happily ever after, I was curious and riveted right to the last page, where I could hardly wait for the next installment, Moon's Web.

A great read about a not so perfect woman at the end opf her rope and knowing no way else out but death, hires Tony, woh it turns out isn't wholley human. But he doesn't care that Sue's not perfect,neither is he obviously. I read this in one night, and though I've never read these authors before, i wouldn't mind reading more of their imaginitive tales.

Interesting premise and follow-through. A rich woman asks a werewolf assassin to kill her. They fall in love instead but have to reconcile his occupation and her dependency issues.

I think I could have stomached this book had it not been for the heroin in it, Sue. She was annoying and overly needy to the point that if I could slap her I would. The hero Tony starts out real tough but the character changes, it is subtle but he just isn't the tough guy he starts out as, could have been a good book but sadly I found it tough to read.

A different take on the werewolf theme. Well written and interesting characters.

interesting and entertaining. this is one where you will need to read it for yourself to form an opinion.

I really loved this first book in a new series!

This is a good book for shapeshifter and paranormal readers. I thoroughly enjoyed the dinamics in the relationship and the new ideas of shapeshifter characteristics.

I love their books,I'm always looking for them.

Not one of my favrotes from this author

Woman and PI fall in love.

P.S. He's a werewolf!

The best of the best in werewolf/human interface tales!

Enjoyable modern-day, paranormal romance.

I recently bought this book, days ago in fact, and it wasn't what I thought it was. As a result, I have not read it, but it's in excellent condition.

The main character is a shapeshifter, a 'were. A different "take" from the vampire series so prevalent around, which I also love to read. I am looking forward now to getting ahold of the next book by these two Texas authors.

Werewolves and the mob, what more could you ask for.

I enjoyed this book but there were a few times when I wished it would have picked up the pace - It was an otherwise excellent read.

This is a fun, quick read. The fact that the male is the one telling the story adds an interesting angle. A tiny quibble I have, though, is that the female lead tended to get on my nerves. She admits that she doesn't have any "backbone," and, frankly, she's right.

Great authors, book was a quick read

The book was a quick read....and enjoyable.

First book i've read by them and it was awesome. Definitely going to read more of theirs.

Did not like this book. I could not really get into it. Skipped various parts. It is not very interesting.

great ending, and the start of a new series

From the back cover:

She need s White Knght

Sue Quentin has reached the end of her rope – she’s desperate, and there’s only one way out: death. Her plan doesn’t include falling for Tony, the mysterious his man she hires. He listens when she speaks and somehow convinces her that maybe her problem aren’t entirely insurmountable. He even thinks her little potbelly is sexy. So he’s a werewolf – everyone has flaws.

Sue enjoys being coddled by Tony, and, for his part, Tony likes the way Sue moans when he touches her. She begins to think she and Tony might have a shot at a future together, despite his unorthodox profession…and even though she doesn’t know his real name.

But when Tony’s enemies – not all of whom are fully human – decide Sue makes a perfect target, will Tony risk letting his darker side out during the day to save her?

I did not care for this because it was written in first person.

From the new TOR paranormal line. Good story!
