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.

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.

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.

Overall this book was a fairly standard paranormal romance plot - werewolf meets woman and immediately forms strange and powerful bond with her. They try to fight their attraction to each other, various bad things happen, they overcome the bad guys and accept that they're together.

The book is written from the man's point of view, which was interesting at times. The female lead annoyed me quite a bit - she was unable to stand up to her over powering and demanding family to the point that she decided death was the only way to deal with it. She was very passive at the beginning of the book, with odd moments of standing up for herself. She did improve as the book went on, as the mail lead was helping her gain confidence in herself, which was nice.

The beginning was interesting, but about three-quarters of the way through the unique qualities of this world and these characters were no longer enough to hold my interest in the fairly standard plot, and I wound up skimming the last bit of the book.

Overall, not a bad book, but no interesting enough to get me to the next book.
