I'd Rate This One Eight Out Of Ten

Lily Yu is a twenty-eight year old homicide detective, and she has a secret--she's a Sensitive. When she touches people, she can feel magic. In the beginning of the book, Lily is called to the scene of a murder, and she immediately realizes this is not your ordinary crime scene. The victim appears to have been attacked and killed--by a werewolf, or lupus.

During the course of her investigation, she is introduced to the handsome and charismatic lupi prince, Rule Turner. Despite her unwillingness to be drawn in by his charm, she finds she can't help herself. Rule is likewise drawn to Lily and quickly realizes there is much more between them than just passion. But Lily has secrets of her own which prevent her from opening up to just anyone (not to mention the fact that Rule is a lupus), and Rule, too, is not exactly an open book. Readers will quickly realize their relationship is going to be complicated.

Rule and Lily begin to investigate the murders together, and their blossoming relationship is put to the test when Rule becomes the prime suspect by one of Lily's fellow officers.

There is much more to the plot than just murder--there's the lupi world, Lily's own past, federal agents, sorcerers, Lily's wise grandmother, gnomes, and dark magic.

I enjoyed this book very much. I did become rather frustrated at times, because much was insinuated and hinted at about Lily's past, but nothing was truly revealed until much later in the book. This kept me from feeling as though I knew and understood her. I found it frustrating to be held at a distance from the main character I assumedly should like. Therefore, it was difficult for me to determine whether or not I actually LIKED Lily. However, her actions were enough to demonstrate she is an honest, complicated, tough, independent, and stubborn woman who will never be content to sit at home while the boyfriend goes out and takes care of the bad guys. I liked that about her, and I imagine a lot of readers will, too.

I will be looking forward to reading more about Lily and Rule. The next book, MORTAL DANGER, is out now. Eileen Wilks also has a third book, BLOODLINES, due out in January 2007. All in all, this was a good book, and I recommend it to fans of the paranormal genre.

You need to read this series

I really like this alternate world series. IF you like your fantasy/sci fi with a touch of romance, you should love this series.

Very Good Book!

The first few chapters were a bit slow, but good. Then I couldn't stop reading. I enjoyed this book and enjoyed the romance/mating of Rule and Lily and I'm getting the next book "Mortal Danger."

Glad I finally read this book!

This book had a great story. Lily Yu is a detective in California and Rule Turner is a lupus or werewolf of the Nokolai clan. What I enjoyed most about this book was the love story between Lily and Rule. Lily is Rule's Chosen and while most romance novels have the heroine falling madly in love, Lily is a little put out about being Rule's chosen. She does not fall for it hook, line and sinker. She barely knows the man and expresses her dissatisfaction at being his bonded mate for life. While this is a paranormal romance, I felt that finally we have a strong female character that doesn't immediately give in to the strong, good looking, charasmatic lead male. She has reservations concerning the whole bonded for life relationship. The ending to the book was definitely left open and I will be more than happy to purchase Mortal Danger to find out what happens in the continuing saga of Lily and Rule. I highly recommend this book if you like Kelly Armstrong's Otherworld series or Laurell Hamilton's earlier books.
