Moon's Web is the direct sequel to Hunter's Moon and is exactly the book the first one promised. Tony Giodone, the former hitman turned reluctant werewolf, is trying to build a new life in Chicago with Sue Quentin. The Sazi Council wants him in a particular role. The Mafia he used to work for has not forgotten him. The various tensions stay tensions for most of the book and resolve in messy ways.
Adams and Clamp write the second book with more confidence than the first. The Sazi world acquires more political texture. The Chicago geography is well-used. The romance between Tony and Sue is allowed to be complicated by the actual difficulties of two damaged people sharing a life.
Four stars. The series gets stronger from here. Read after Hunter's Moon.
