This is told from Tony's point of view, it's more about uncovering the plot of Nasir and the South American snakes against the Sazi than the romance. Although there is romance between Tony and Sue and Ahmed and Tuli. We also meet a recently turned badger, whom the authors hinted would have her own series. I would have given this story five stars but it was often hard to follow some of the transitions and could get confusing as Tony would see through Ahmed.

Ahmed is King Cobra, Tony is wolf, Tuli is snake, also bald eagle, badger, and various other snakes and wolves. ( )

We started the series on the Sazi with Tony and Sue and get to see how things are going with them. Tony has a small problem, he keeps getting in side Ahmed's head and a wolf in a snake's head? Not entirely his cup of tea. Coincidences are occurring that all start to add up to the same thing. Sue gets a magic boost that changes her and Tony like some of it and is concerned too. It's going to be fun to find out if we get another book with these two. ( )

Ms. Adams and Ms. Clamp have done it yet again!

In this story Tony's back, and with a vengeance you could say.

The blurb on the back reads - Tony is Back
Former Mafia hit man Tony Giodone has been through a lot - he's turned into a werewolf with a human mate and a pack leader tougher than his old Mob boss. And he's developed a powerful psychic ability - he can see into the past through other people's memories.

Being mated with a human is difficult in more ways than one. Tony and Sue's relationship is full of struggle. Adding to Tony's trouble is a new problem with some old mobster "friends"... who also happen to be a cabal of Sazi mass murderers trying to extinguish the human race.

Only one man might be able to help Tony and the Sazi stop the cabal; Ahmad, the leader of the snakes. He and Tony have a deeper psychic connection than Tony has with anyone else - even his mate! Now Tony is along for the psychic ride of his life as the crown prince of an ancient empire is faced with his deadliest enemy; a woman he once loved, whom he was forced to betray...one who may now betray Ahmad, Tony, and all of humanity.

This is book # 7 of the Sazi series and each centers around one or more of the shapeshifters, this one centers as you might be able to guess from the blurb around Ahmad, with Tony and others being a close second. Since I haven't to date particularly liked the character of Ahmad I was surprised at how much I ended up liking this story. Even though Ahmad is the "main" romance you also get to exeperience Tony and Sues' relationship a bit more. If you haven't read the other books in this series I HIGHLY RECOMEND doing so, it's NOT necessary, but it does give a person more insight into the characters. The other books are - Hunter's Moon, Moon's Web, Captive Moon, Howling Moon, Moon's Fury, and Timeless Moon. ( )
