MARTINA'S OCTOBER LITERARY COLORS CHALLENGE UPDATE - 10/10 - FINISHED! YAY! :-)

JUST (with only 6 minutes to spare) finished Cold Moon Rising (A Tale of the Sazi, #7) by C.T. Adams & Cathy Clamp (★★★★). This is an urban fantasy series featuring various flavors of shape-shifters, often in the context of their underground intelligence agency known as Wolven.

This particular book is a return to the story of Tony & Sue, the couple from the very first Sazi book. Or more accurately, a return to Tony. It's written in the first person from Tony's POV, which, to be honest, I wasn't sure was going to work for me. But, I'm happy to report that I easily got into the story enough for it not to bother me at all! Yay!

Tony is low man on the totem pole working for Wolven and finds himself on an assignment that puts him near many of the top Wolven agents and council members of the Sazi society. This book seems to be heavy in series-arc plot, so the action doesn't exactly end at the end of the book like some of the others do. I'll definitely be reading the next one soon so I find out what happens next.

1. Orange - Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto (non-PNR) - 10/28 - ★★★★
2. Red - Cry Mercy (Mercy Hollings, #3) by Toni Andrews - 10/12 - ★★★★★
3. Brown - Underground (Greywalker, #3) by Kat Richardson - 10/23 - ★★★★★
4. Green - Last Vampire Standing (Oldest City Vampire, #2) by Nancy Haddock - 10/5 - ★★★★
5. Black - Savor Me Slowly (Alien Huntress, #3) by Gena Showalter - 10/26 - ★★★
6. Yellow - Witch Heart (Elemental Witches, #3) by Anya Bast - 10/10 - ★★★
7. Purple - Atlantis Unleashed (Warriors of Poseidon, #3) by Alyssa Day - 10/19 - ★★★★
8. Pink - Legacy (Anna Strong Chronicles, #4) by Jeanne C. Stein - 10/15 - ★★★
9. Blue - Shift (Shifters, #5) by Rachel Vincent - 10/7 - ★★★★★
10. Silver/Gray - Cold Moon Rising (A Tale of the Sazi, #7) by C.T. Adams & Cathy Clamp - 10/31 - ★★★★
