I've read quite a few books in Adams/Clamp's Sazi series but upon commencing this book it became clear to me that I hadn't read at least one of them before this one... the story of Tony Giodone. This story follows on in Tony's life which made it a bit awkward that I didn't know the previous history, although it was doled out now and again within the narrative.
There's something about the Sazi series that doesn't quite work for me, and never has. I think it's because I'm never entirely sure what's going on and everyone always seems to be rushing around on hunches which come right. The same is true in this book, with several plot lines which somehow all merge together.
Tony Giodone is a wolf and former contract killer. He finds himself strangely linked to the snake Ahmad which means that together they are able to investigate a plot within the snake community. At the same time there are issues with a newly-turned woman who is a badger shifter, Tony's wife Sue seems to be ailing as a result of their bond, and various mafia people seem to have got onto Tony's trail. These disparate threads didn't all work too well for me, particularly as I often wasn't sure what was actually going on.
The writing is good, as usual, and there's no hint that it's the work of two different authors. However I didn't find it gripping as I was reading it and also felt that the characters were all rather one-dimensional. Those who like this series know what they're going to get with this book but it's not one I expect to want to read again.

This is the 7th in this series with Serpent Moon to follow. It reunites us with Tony Giodone now Giambrocco from the first two books. In this he ends up dealing with Ahmad Al-Narmer, the chief of the snakes, who is not happy about having to have Tony along for the ride!
I have enjoyed all of this series and would like a lot more (please) and it is very interesting to see exactly how far both Tony and Sue have come in dealing with the abrupt changes in their lives. Tony does his usual and seriously annoys Ahmad (who also gets a bit of comeuppance!) but Ahmad has to deal with it and finds out that the lower classes are maybe not quite so bad after all!
More is revealed about the centuries long plot that Sargon was involved in and we find out what the drugs in Timeless Moon are being used for.
If you have followed this series it is well worth reading but could be a little confusing if you try and read it as a stand alone novel.

I am not usually a fan if books that are written from a first persons p.o.v except for twilight. this book is about tony a former mafia assasin turned werewolf, bonds with a rich human, who gets killed etc... it's more of an action book with minimal romance. its the 8th book in the series, book one and two is about tony and his mate, 3,4,5,6,7 are about others in the previous books, this book goes back to tony and his mate again. i have only read tony's stories as liked them for the action. i missed books 3,4,5,6,7 as they didnt sound all that good.
