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. ( )I gave this story 5 stars, because it was a fantastic book. It was written in first person but every character had their own speech, way of doing things and their own 'scent'. Increible funny, poignant and action packed. In this story he has already been a wolf for a while, and an a hit man for longer and has taken pretty good care of himself. And even though you know he's a hit man, he's also the hero of this story and you can't help rooting for him, especially after he meets the heroine. There those characters who are too stupid to live, but she is not one of those, which is why our hero is attracted to her. She is just too sensitive and has been down-trodded on and I felt sorry for her but I did not get annoyed with her for whining, which she did not do much of. And her accpectance of him from the very beginning, is what made the hero fall for her. And they dealt with real issues of life, relationships and their prospective lives. Like how he helped her depression by having her see a psychrtist, and how she made him believe he was not just a violent animal. I can't wait for the sequel in August 2005. This was a romantic, action-adventure, funny, serious and just true-blue love story. I hope you enjoy these talented authors. An great book if you like books about werewolves and vampires or romance books this book is a combonation of the two Really good book. You get a feel for the charaters. You feel sad for all that Sue has been through, and you feel glad when she has her moments of happiness. Wow--really excellent story, and beginning of a series. In the first place, it's extremely unusual to read a romance written in first person. And when that first person is the hero? Unheard-of. I'd like this book just for that alone. But then the story was good, too. A werewolf who's a mob assassin falls in love with a woman who hires him to kill her. no reviews | add a review
