Review
"This incredible novel is inventive, totally riveting as well as surprisingly tender in spots. Adams and Clamp are a powerhouse team that have opened the door to an amazing new world." Romantic Times BOOKreviews Top Pick, 4 1/5 stars on Hunter's Moon
"Filled with an abrasive charm, intriguing characters, and a dry wit, Hunter's Moon is a must read for the fall season."--Romance Reviews Today on Hunter's Moon
"Adams and Clamp are adept at writing intensely sensuous, hot lovemaking scenes, but where they really shine is in the creation of an unforgettable world where secret shape-shifters live, love, and scheme. Laurel K. Hamilton readers will enjoy this edgy world."--Booklist on Moon's Web
"It's only taken two books for the dynamic duo of Adams and Clamp to cement their position as premier authors of paranormal fiction. Gritty and unique, with amazingly Byzantine character development, this inside look at the unconventional world of shape-shifters is a page-turner in the truest sense."--Romantic Times BOOKreviews, 4 1/2 Stars, Top Pick, Gold Medal on Moon's Web
"It's rare when a second book surpasses the first, but Moon's Web explodes onto the scene, earning a Perfect 10. If you're a fan of Laurell K. Hamilton or Kelley Armstrong, Moon's Web is definitely a book for you!"--Romance Reviews Today on Moon's Web
"After being a dangerous footnote in previous books, the true evil of Sazi serial killer Jack Simpson is now revealed. Layer by layer Adams & Clamp build their compelling Sazi world with its strict laws that give this unique universe dramatic shape and form. Besides captivating plots, it is the rich, dark characterizations that make these books distinctive and mesmerizing. True genre luminaries!"--Romantic Times BOOKreviews on Howling Moon
"Howling Moon is a fantastic story! Authors C.T. Adams and Cathy Clamp just keep getting better and better… [Howling Moon] is a true masterpiece and a joy to read."--ParaNormal Romance Reviews

Disappointed in the Wolfen
I own all of their books, and eagerly await each one. This book left me cold. Adam, seemed more like a beta wolf than a possible alpha. Cara, shouldn't been left in charge of a paper bag much less a pack. It was interesting to learn more about the Wolfen and Sazi, but really this book was hard to finish. I skipped pages because there just seemed like too much filler and not enough action. I was never clear on why the bad guys kidnapped girls or what happened to them at the end.
Moon's Fury
Temporary sheriff Cara Salinas is a werewolf and alpha female of her Texas Sazi pack. Adam Mueller is second-in-command of the Minneapolis Sazi pack. Adam is scouting Cara's small Texan town because some of his pack members may be relocating there. Lucas Santiago is a Wolven. He is one of the most powerful leaders in werewolf society. Lucas arrives in Texas attempting to merge the two packs. Adam and Cara are wondering why Lucas is needed. They soon get their answers when lies and treachery are uncovered.
While they try and find a way to seamlessly join the packs, a rogue group of Sazi birds are reeking havoc and killing people in town. Cara must save the packs and the humans while trying to tamp down her intense need to mate with Adam.
Moon's Fury is a good story, one I hard a hard time putting down. The chemistry between Adam and Cara is very strong and very intense right from the start and it only gets better as book progresses. I really enjoyed how their Sazi forms were much more prevalent than their human forms as well. Moon's Fury is a paranormal romance in every sense of the word, making it very interesting, sexy and unique.

Fifth in series, the story moves to Texas
This fifth book in the Sazi series is rather variable. Parts were very good and parts rather dragged or didn't feel comfortable. Although the fifth in the Sazi series, about werewolves, and containing many of the characters of previous books, it isn't necessary to have read any Sazi stories before to understand most of the events in this one. There are some less common aspects to this series, for example the frequent discussion of scents that the werewolves detect, even in human form, which help them to know whether people are lying or afraid, but there's also much that is familiar in this sort of tale, including the Alpha Male character in this book, Adam Mueller. Adam's like lots of other policemen male characters and he loses some points in this story for not telling the heroine, Cara Salinas, what's going on half the time.
Cara has become the Sheriff of Tedford County in Texas when the previous Sheriff had a stroke. However she's found it a little difficult to adjust and things aren't made any easier in that she is now the Alpha of her small pack. It can be very hard for her to reconcile her werewolf rules, to protect them from discovery, with her policewoman's need to help and to serve. When she is visited by Adam Mueller from Minneapolis and discovers that some of Adam's pack may have to move down to her territory it starts a lot of planning as to how this can be managed. There's also a side plot with a lot of giant birds apparently eating livestock and stealing young girls; this part of the plot moved in fits and starts and was always a bit weird.
The good aspects of the story were some of the locations, the story being told from the point of view of the Latina policewoman as well as through Adam's eyes, and the interesting and varied range of characters. However it never felt like it really glued together as a proper story, the romantic element seemed rather more of an afterthought at times, and the different plot threads being linked seemed too ridiculously unlikely a coincidence. I finished the book not entirely sure why the girls had been kidnapped, what was going to happen to them in the future, and who the snake man really was (presumably he will appear in a subsequent book). This story is probably one for fans of the Sazi series and not one for a newcomer as, despite its good points, it wasn't completely satisfying.
