Blood Magic (Eileen Wilks)

As they plan their wedding, Lily Yu and Rule Turner, a prince of the lupi, are facing a great deal of tension from both their families. Not everyone can accept their mixed marriage: she's Chinese and he's a werewolf. Even Lily's grandmother is acting strangely distant, though Lily and Rule are about to discover that her behavior has nothing to do with their upcoming nuptials.
A powerful, undying nemesis has come to San Diego to exact vengeance on Lily's family - and turn the city into a feeding ground. It's up to Lily and Rule to stop her, in spite of ancient treaties and an inheritance passed down through the blood. Otherwise San Diego could go up in flames, and they won't live to make it to the altar...

Another good story in Eileen Wilks Lupi series. I enjoyed learning more of Grandmother's story.

On The Prowl (story collection)

These all-new paranormal romances from today's hottest authors feature a female werewolf who comes into her own; a Lord who crosses paths with a fiery mage; a mixed-blood Child of the Moon who faces an uncertain future; and a woman whose sixth sense proves to be a dangerous talent.

I like reading story collections. It helps me to discover new authors that I can seek out later if I like their writing style.

The first book is by Patricia Briggs and is the prelude to her Alpha & Omega series. I enjoyed this story enough that I went the next day to get that series.

I usually enjoy Eileen Wilks & Karen Chance but I was a little bored & disappointed with their stories.

Sunny's story was horrible.It was mainly sex with only enough story to tie the romance and sex episodes together. I felt as if I was witnessing a cheap porn movie! I have to say I was very disappointed to have to wade through all of that in an attempt to find a storyline.

Mortal Sins (Eileen Wilks)

FBI agent Lily Yu, is in North Carolina with her lover and mate, Rule Turner, Lu Nuncio of the Nokolai werewolf clan. He is there to take custody of his son from the boy's grandmother. It's a purely personal trip until Rule, in wolf form, finds three bodies in a shallow grave. They carry the stench of death magic, which makes the murders a federal crime. Lily takes charge of the investigation and soon realizes that nothing adds up -- not the motives or the main suspect, who is behind bars when death strikes again.
But murder, however bizarre, is an everyday affair for Lily, who was a homicide cop before being recruited into the FBI's Magical Crimes Division. A more personal shock arrives in the form of Rule's son's mother. Why would she now challenge rule's plan to bring his son to live among the Nokolai? But family matters must take a backseat when the violence escalates, and there's no rhyme or reason for the next strike -- by a killer who may not even be of this world...

I really enjoy this author. She knows how to spin a web so that you really cant predict what is coming next.

Mortal Danger ; Night Season (Eileen Wilks)

Mortal Danger (book 2 of World of Lupi Series)

Former homicide cop Lily Yu has a lot on her plate. There's her sister's wedding, a missing magical staff with unknown powers, and her grandmother's sudden decision to visit the old country just when Lily coul use a little advice. Maybe she should turn to the man she's involved with, but for all the passion tht flares between them, she doesn't really know Rule Turner. Yet she's tied to him for life, both of them caught in an unbeakable mate bond.

That Rule is a werewolf, a prince of his people, only complicates matters...

Now an agent in a special unit of the FBI's Magical Crimes Division, Lily's job is to hunt down Harlowe, a charismatic cut leader bent on bringing an ancient evil into the world. But what Lily doesn't realize is that Harlowe has set a trap- for her. And then the unthinkable happens.

In the blink of an eye, Lily's world divides and collides, and she is thrust into a new and frightening reality. Her only hope will be to trust Rule - and herself- or Lily will be lost forever...

This story is more paranormal than romance which is fine. The relationship between Rule & Lily is already set...they're just trying to get used to it.

The whole "split Lily" thing was a bit of a stretch for me. It made for an interesting story.

Night Season (book 4)

Pregnancy has turned FBI Agent Cynna Weaver's whole life upside down. Lupus sorcerer Cullen Seabourne is thrilled to be a father, but what does Cynna know about kids? Her mother was a drunk and her father abandoned his family. Or so she's always believed...

As Cynna is trying to wrap her head around this problem, a new one pops up in the form of a delegation from another realm. They want to take Cynna and Cullen back with them - to meet her long-lost father and find a mysterious medallion. But when these two born cynics land in a world where magic is commonplace and night never ends, their only way home lies in tracking down the missing medallion - one also sought by powerful beings who will do anything to claim it...

This story had a good combination of romance and intrigue. Lots of deception and soul searching.

Not a bad read. Love the relationship between Cynna and Cullen.

Tempting Danger (Eileen Wilks)

Lily Yu is a San Diego police detective investigating a series of grisly murders that appear to be the work of a werewolf. To hunt down the killer, she must infiltrate the clans. Only one man can help her - a werewolf named Rule Turner, a prince of the lupi, whose charismatic presence disturbs Lily. Rule has his own reasons for helping the investigation - reasons he doesn't want to share with Lily. Logic and honor demand she keep her distance, but the attraction between them is immediate and devastating - and beyond human reason. Now in a race to fend off evil, Lily finds herself in uncharted territory, tested as never before, and, at her back, a man she's not sure she can trust...

A good beginning for the World of the Lupi series.

Blood Lines (Eileen Wilks)

Touch-sensitive FBI agent Lily Yu and her werewolf bond-mate are recruited by the Secret Service to help identify elected officials who have accepted demonic pacts. But Lily must turn to fellow agent Cynna Weaver for help when Cynna's former teacher, a demon master, emerges as the main suspect behind the pacts.

After a demon commit a gruesome murder, sorcerer Cullen Seabourne joins the team racing the clock to find the apprentice of evil who uses demons to kill. Cynna and Cullen must work together- a challenge indeed when each has good reason to ignore the desire simmering between them. But passion and events both spiral out of control as an ancient prophecy is fulfilled - and the lupi's greatest enemy sets her sights on total devastation...

This is book 3 in the World of the Lupi series by Eileen Wilks. It is a good stand alone novel but I am planning on readin the first 2 and the 4th and 5th.

This is a good Fantasy story with some romance weaved in. It has a lot of good, didnt see that coming moments.

If you're curious about the tattoos on the cover...that's where Cynna holds the power to her spells.
