When a prototype of a magical device is stolen from the
Nokolai Clanhome, a traitor is revealed within their midst.
It is up to FBI agent Lily Yu and her lupi fiancé, Rule
Turner to retrieve the prototype before its malfunction can
be used against them. However, as Lily sniffs out the
perpetrator, it seems as if the thief's identity may be
more baffling than they anticipated as they discover a new
player in this deadly game.
Eileen Wilks is a fantastic writer who has been able to
build upon this intriguing world she has created. With each
book, she is able to further add on and delve deeper into
the lupi world, fleshing out characters until readers feel
as if they know them inside and out.
Despite the slow start, I was able to appreciate the action
and intense focus on the world building. However, there is
less time spent on Rule and Lily in this installment. A
sense of urgency pulls the plot forward so that you don't
necessarily find the romance lacking, but I still would
have liked to see more time spent on building a connection
between Rule and Lily. After all, they will be getting
married soon.
Though not always perfect in its pacing, Wilks creates an
intriguing ride with MORTAL TIES. Action, top --notch
procedural accuracy and some shocking twists -- Readers can
expect nothing less from an author like Eileen Wilks.
But the protoytpe can be dangerously erratic, discharging a
bizarre form of mind magic—and it looks like the thief wants
it for that very side effect. Worse, whoever stole the
device didn’t learn about it by accident. There’s a Nokolai
traitor in their midst.
Lily and Rule have to find the traitor, the thief, and the
prototype. One job proves easy when the thief calls them—and
his identity rocks Rule’s world.
As they race to recover their missing property, they find
Robert Friar’s sticky footprints all over the place. Robert
Friar—killer, madman, and acolyte of the Old One the lupi
are at war with—an Old One whose power is almost as vast as
her ambition to rock the entire world . . .
