I've enjoyed each new installment in this series, but this one had the added element of family complications. Lily's sister Beth has a larger secondary role in this one as does a surprising and startling member of Rule's family.

This is the ninth book in the series and it really is a series that is best read in order. I'm glad I didn't skip the novella because it takes place parallel to this one and is referenced.

The story opens right at the holiday season with Lily and Rule recovered from the troubles in book eight and living protected now that the Lupi are at war with the evil goddess and her followers led by Robert Friar. Lily chafes under the lack of privacy, but understands the necessity.

Things mix up when Cullen's lab is broken into and an important project is stolen. There is a traitor at clanholme who is working with someone on the outside who wants what Cullen has invented. Lily and Rule follow the clues that lead them to investigating in San Francisco. Lily's sister and a surprise relation of Rules are deeply involved. Their enemy is plotting in the shadows and leading them along a certain path. They must figure it out quickly before it's too late. With the help of friends and dubious allies they work hard to recover Cullen's project and stop the new plot against them.

Each book provides an exciting and intriguing mystery plot, a bit more about the Lupi world, and an element of reflection. Lily and Rule both learn more about trust and communication, but also actions meant for protection. Both also are faced with new family elements and another layer to their mate bond. Surprising new characters are introduced and a carryover from the last book has an important role to play. I enjoyed it all though was a little impatient as the book set up for the excitement in the last half. Well worth it.

All in all, another strong installment in the series for me. Looking forward to where things go next for Lily, Rule and the rest.

Mortal Ties World of the Lupi Eileen Wilks 9780425254929 Books Reviews

A thief makes it not only into Clanhome, but gets past Cullen's wards and from his workshop, steals a magical device he's been working on. The plan had been to sell the device to raise more money for Nokolai, but it isn't ready and causes some pretty serious side effects to nulls. It's an inside job and the perp turns out to be shocking.

The majority of the story takes place in San Francisco and involves another clan new to us, a couple of characters that will probably continue to be important in the future, and visiting sidhe. All of the major characters are involved, although some are not on scene. It's nice to see the FBI actually willing to work with the lupi for a change. Robert Friar is definitely alive and more of a threat than they imagined.

There's plenty going on, action and danger, and as is true in the last few books, the ongoing back story which began early in the series, has become more of the major focus. We finally learn more about Lily's sister Beth, grandma is on scene (now there's a character you have to love, yet probably never want to meet) and Rule's position as Rho of Leidolf is making things interesting.

What I really enjoy about this series, and is quite evident in this book, is the politics involved both within a clan, between the clans and how they deal with others--and why. The other thing is magical theory. It blows me away that this author makes the theories seem not only reasonable, but highly likely; as if she lived in that world and uses it. Some of it does get rather deep, but as often happens, another character will step in and say it's too much explanation.

My one and only criticism is that as we're approaching the story's climax, one of the scenes just seems to go on too long; probably because I was anxious for the resolution. But a relationship is being formed that becomes important to this story and possibly in the future.

The first couple of books started out with a great deal more romance, but as Rule and Lily became comfortable with being mated, the focus shifted to different challenges and furthering the back story. We're never in doubt about how Rule and Lily feel for the other, but don't expect hearts, flowers and a lot of sex in this one. But that doesn't mean that their relationship is stagnant. It's growing and they're still learning lessons on how best to deal with each other. The anticipated wedding is still over a month away.

We also get an excerpt from the next book, Ritual Magic. Wow. I'm more anxious than ever to get my hands on the next book.
