Former cop Lily Yu has her sister's wedding to attend, a missing magical staff to find, and now must deal with her grandmother's decision to return to the old country. Lily could turn to the man she's involved with for advice, but for all the passion that flares between them, she doesn't really know Rule Turner--she's just bound to him for life. Rule happens to be a werewolf, and Lily wonders just how far she can trust him.

I especially like Lily. She’s strong and not whiny and doesn’t make stupid impetuous decisions like so many other female characters. She’s not perfect but she’s also not immature and annoying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good second book... slightly different approach...
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2010

Book 2 in the series following Lily Yu's exploits in love (The World of the Lupi), magic and the law proves to be a great read.

The romance that blossomed, or more accurately blasted open, in book 1 (Tempting Danger) between Lily & Rule continues here. This story takes place within a short time frame from the last one and they fated couple continue to work through serious relationship issues. Their romance is satisfyingly continued here as Wilkes proves that just because you are Chosen, it doesn't mean happily ever after. The couple has to work through big arguments and continue to work on developing trust despite their unbridled attraction to each other.

Other characters come back and new ones are introduced as the World gets expanded bit by bit. The story pace is slightly jarring, at times being fast and furious and then you run into a "hurry up and wait" situation here and there, but overall it holds your interest. It strangely felt as though it might actually be two books in one instead of one full story given the way the story unfolded.

Less time was spent on the investigation side of the story here than in BK 1. This was much less of a CSI story and venturing further down the path of X-files, for lack of a better pop culture reference. The bad guy was always known here so there was little mystery of that nature.

Interesting plot points were created that allowed for interesting imagery and exploration of another plane of existance. There were quite a few things left on the table in the end, so there will be a lot to look for in future books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grand new world
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2015

The Old One who is the ancient enemy of the lupi is driving her agents even harder to achieve their goals. Demons are involved, and the mystical bond between Rule and Lily is being tested in new and difficult ways. That bond is still fairly new, so Lily, Rule, and the audience get to discover its nature all together.

I actually liked the arguments between Lily and Rule. They didn’t feel in any way like the characters were being unreasonable; they argued about entirely understandable things (in particular butting heads over independence and secrets). They are, after all, two extremely different people who were thrown together by the Lady the lupi serve. Not every goddess-created mate bond works out, after all, although at least she seems to pick people who stand a good chance of falling in love. That aspect of outside interference is what makes their bond different and, IMO, better than, the standard one-true-mate plots in many other books. There’s still an aspect of self-determination here, which I find much more palatable than most other such constructs.

Lily and Rule are great characters, as are all the secondaries. Cullen is a sorcerer who moonlights as an exotic dancer, which is great fun. We also get to meet more of Lily’s new co-workers and her boss, and we see more of her family. I’m enjoying the slowly expanding sphere of attention that gradually brings more and more of the world into play.

There are some fascinating events later in the book, but I’ll just say that I thought it ended with a very satisfying bang. Now I have to hunt down the next two books in the series!

5.0 out of 5 stars Second Book in an Awesome Series
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2013

This second story picks up a few weeks after book one, bringing the turmoil of the conniving HER (not to be named) down on the heads of Lily, Rule, Cullen and the rest of the Lupi.

It starts with a demon attacking Lily at her sister's wedding, followed closely by the murder of a young woman that leads the detective to uncovering a series of murders that tie directly to Her agent, Patrick Harlow. A kidnapping on Lily's youngest sister by Harlow heats up the action as Lily, Benedict, and a group of Lu Nucios (who happened to be meeting) attempt a rescue. When the smoke clears, Harlow is dead, Her staff is gone, as well as Rule and the demon that had tried to possess Lily.

While everyone tries to convince Lily that Rule is dead, she still can feel the mate bond and through deduction and help from her friends and allies, Lily attempts the craziest, most dangerous rescue of her life!

Highly recommended, but read the first one first for maximum enjoyment of this kick butt series!

This is good follow up to the first book in the series. I like that the author is introducing more characters and different kinds of creatures, the world expansion means that she has a lot to work with later in the series. The separation of Rule and Lily for some of the novel provided space for other characters to be centerstage and allowed another element of the relationship to develop. I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to what the author will be doing next.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but confusing
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2013

This book picks up right where book 1 leaves off. It's good enough that I was entertained. When the book hits 50% it takes a weird twist. It's unexpected and I didn't know what was going on. Instead of being intrigued and making me want to read more it just made me want to get past it. The last half didn't interest me even though it looks like it sets up things in the future. I didn't understand why the author chose to do this. For now I'll keep reading the series.

I became familiar with Eileen Wilks' writing through stumbling across her book "Blood Lines" which is actually the third in this series, but I thoroughly enjoyed that story, although it was clear that this was not the beginning of the tale between Lily Yu and Rule Turner. I liked it well enough that I went back and read through the first two books introducing these characters, and they didn't disappoint. I found her writing to be clear and her action interesting enough to keep me turning the pages, and looking forward to learning more about the world that she's created with this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Le tome 2 du monde des Lupi
Reviewed in France on May 25, 2010
Verified Purchase
Nous retrouvons Rule Turner, loup-garou, et Lily Yu, inspectrice du FBI qui possède le don de sentir la magie, dans ce second tome (après Tempting Danger).

Le 1er tome s'inscrivait dans une logique policière et permettait à nos héros de se rencontrer tandis que cet opus flirte plus du côté de la fantasy pure: on évoque d'autres réalités (des mondes parallèles), on découvre que les démons et d'autres créatures existent.

Rule et Lily continuent à se découvrir et à s'accepter mais le livre n'est pas un livre sentimental et leur relation, quoique fondamentale, n'est pas le seul intérêt du livre. C'est une relation tellement "normale" que cela pourrait disconcerter les lecteurs qui préfèrent les frissons, la tension et les disputes...Leur histoire est douce, respectueuse et c'est rafraîchissant.

Le personnage de Cynna, jeune femme dotée de pouvoirs importants, est introduit.

Nos héros, aidés de leurs acolytes (Cullen, Cynna, les agents de la MCD, Max le gnome...), doivent affronter de nouvelles attaques tandis que la frontière entre les différents mondes parallèles s'effacent.
La première partie est classique; la deuxième partie du livre est vraiment originale.

Un petit regret: Eileen Wilks m'a perdue pendant quelques pages en évoquant la magie de façon un peu trop complexe.

J'ai bien au chaud le 3e tome qui m'attend, Blood Lines.

4.0 out of 5 stars Coming To Terms With Their Bond
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 23, 2020

This book follows almost directly on from the first book in the series. Lily is recovering from a bullet wound, but still has to attend her sister’s wedding as a bridesmaid, even whilst wearing a sling.

They are still missing the staff that Helen used to create such mayhem, and Patrick Harlowe, a charismatic leader of a strange cult, is very likely to have it. The power the staff holds is enormous and they desperately need to find it, in order to contain it and destroy it, no matter the government seems to want to hang on to it.

Then at the wedding Lily is attacked and no one seems to know who did it and why, only that she feels a sense of magic on her bullet wound. With no way of knowing what happened and why, they can’t defend her against anything that comes.

This is actually a very clever plot line that helps Lily and Rule come to terms with their relationship, which was determined by The Lady (the Lupi’s goddess). When your choices are taken away from you, it’s much harder to accept those choices that were made on your behalf, even if in the end they work out ok. Rule and Lily like each other and have the magic fuelled passion, but they don’t love each other and they are tied together for the rest of their lives. This book helps them to handle this truth.

There are some sweet and poignant moments in this book. I really enjoyed it.

this follows 'Tempting Danger' (world of the Lupi) (a Lupus is a werewolf!). It carries the story on interestingly, though for me it lost the plot a wee bit, 3/4 of the way through... but it regained direction before the end . There are interesting characters, fairly good plotting, a pleasant 3 or 4 hours of escapism (which I like).
