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.
