Hunter's Moon (Tales of the Sazi, #1) (Paranormal Romance)

by Cathy L Clamp and C T Adams

HUNTERS MOON introduces us to Tony, our narrator and a hit man for the Mafia. A few months ago, one of Tony's jobs went very wrong-the mark spotted him, attacked him, and ripped out his throat. He should have died, but instead he woke up furry, and now, with every full moon, he changes into a wolf. Months later Tony has a bad feeling that the wolf-s nses are encroaching on his human life, and this is confirmed when he meets a new freelance client and feels an immediate attraction to her, something that never happened when he was fully human. But there's a bigger problem aside from the professional implications, and the fact that his wolf half wants him to mate with her: she wants to hire him to kill her. He manages to convince her to wait a year, to deal with her problems head on, but tries-and fails-to avoid becoming entangled with her. As he's drawn further into her life and her problems, the wolf inside of him clamors to be let out-and he realizes he's not the only one in the Midwest whose life is ruled by the moon...

This started out so promising, with a really great premise: a professional assassin has a potential client who has a strange request – the person she wants killed is herself. Add to that the fact that the assassin is also a werewolf, and you’re ready for a rip-roarin’ good time! Except that’s not really what you get. The story is narrated by Tony, the assassin, and I just didn’t like his tone. I found him to be flippant and overly emotional, when I really wanted him to be hard and cool. And if the werewolf stuff isn’t enough for you, there’s some extra weird metaphysical stuff at the end that really makes no sense at all. I generally enjoy paranormal/urban fantasies, but this was a little too much for me. I’m not interested in finishing this series.
