Book 24, 2016
Apr. 4th, 2016 09:35 pmLast night, I finished the book I'd brought home from work. It was Mortal Danger by Eileen Wilks. This is the second(?) installment in her "World of the Lupi" series. I don't have the first book, and I wasn't about to buy it, so I dove in on this one. The author did a good job of not making me feel like I was floundering and adrift, for not having read the first installment.
In the story, former homicide cop Lily Yu is attending her sister's wedding, along with her werewolf mate Rule. When Lily thinks she sees a woman whom she knows is dead, she follows her into the restroom. Rule finds Lily unconscious. Although Lily doesn't feel "right", she can't put her finger on what may have befallen her. As a Gifted Sensitive, no magic should work on her, yet she feels as if foreign magic lingers.
Later, while pursuing a familiar serial killer, Lily is drawn into danger when her sister is taken hostage. In the ensuing battle, her world divides, leaving Lily and Rule in dire peril.
This was good urban fantasy/paranormal romance. However, I wasn't completely on board with the plot device the author used to separate Lily from her Gift, and from Rule. Just my opinion, but I didn't particularly care for it.
Favorite line: "If I let myself get bent out of shape every time I run across one of your old lovers, I'd spend most of my time pretzeled."
Least favorite line: "Title 18, Chapter 51, Section 1111 makes it a federal crime to use magical means to commit murder."
OMGXYZPDQ!!
