      Synopsis

      Kate Reilly has a hard time trusting people.

      Six years ago, the love of her life turned her over to the vampire parasites who call themselves the Thrall. Katie survives the powerful bite of the master parasite only to discover that the Thrall’s venom, coupled with her own natural psychic ability, has transformed her. Now she is next in line to be the Thrall Queen--and each day might be her last as a human.

      Tom, a handsome firefighter, arouses all of Katie’s dormant senses, but her heart shies away. After Dylan’s betrayal, how can she trust any man—even a seemingly perfect and terribly sexy werewolf?

      Tom’s sincerity--and sex appeal--begins to wear down Katie’s defenses. But his increasingly insistent charm hides a potentially deadly secret: his werewolf pack is hiding the one person who can stop the Thrall from completing Katie's transformation into Queen--and they won't give her up.

      Biography

      Cathy Clamp was 35 when the fiction writing bug bit her. Although always a competent legal and technical writer, the idea muse ignored her completely. It wasn’t until she met future friend and partner Cie Adams that things began to click. Her friend’s brain was the idea muse’s nesting site! Cie was blessed (or some would say cursed) with one or more full book plots a day! Cathy quickly realized where her bread was buttered. She did learn she possessed a skill in writing romance and action scenes, while her partner concocted storylines and richly diverse characters. Within 18 months of the start of their partnership, they had written five books, and now have two accepted for publication! Cathy lives outside of Brady, TX, with her husband, Don, (also a brilliantly gifted idea man for suspense and espionage) and their four dogs.

      C.T. Adams happily resides in Texas with a teenage son and pet cats. Office work provided a living while she pursued the goal of becoming a novelist. Forming the partnership with Cathy was the catalyst that led to publication. Cie provides a wildly vivid imagination, while Cathy's brilliant execution (pun intended, she writes vicious action scenes), editing, and business acumen gives the partnership the impetus to get writing projects off of the "drawing board" and into the hands of the readers. The partners have two books currently accepted for publication. They look forward to a long and happy collaborative relationship, having plans for two multi-book series and several individual works on their way to completion

      June 29, 2006: First, I should say that this book should get two and a half stars, because while it was okay it was disappointing, especially when compared to Hunter's Moon. Unlike the former, this story doesn't advance naturally the way HM did. The main character is supposed to be smart and paranoid. Each time the obvious happens she completely misses it and continuously fails to make easy connections, i.e that Nurse Carol is part of the Thrall, or how she keeps getting cut up when no one has touched her, or telling Tom why she's helping her ex. She just may have a savior complex. These failures do much to advance the plot without much development of Tom, the love interest. Even the way they 'fell in love' is not quite understandable since it occurs in a matter of two days and one kiss without her even learning much about him, although we do learn a little more later on, but nothing that explains his attraction to her except that he's a wolf and she's an alpha which attracts male wolves. The story more clear concerning Kate and her former lover (and their feelings about each other) although what happened to him in the end is left unexplained. Tom comes across as almost a kid in a grown man's body who stands around and either gawks with his mouth open or disappears only to reappear in the nick of time. Because we never get anything from his point of view, his reaction to things seem quite simple or childish. When read after reading HM, this book just doesn't hold up. The writing style that made HM so different is missing here and while the book is fast-paced, the annoying things that the main character does makes it hard to continue or care about what happens near the end.
