Mortal Ties by Eileen Wilks

Mortal Ties (A Novel of the Lupi, #9)

by Eileen Wilks

“Eileen Wilks is a truly gifted writer,” (Romance Junkies) and her Novels of the Lupi have drawn readers into a seductive world of action, suspense, and passion. Now, FBI agent Lily Yu tracks a traitor into the darkest shadows yet…

FBI agent Lily Yu is living at Nokolai Clanhome with her fiancé, lupi Rule Turner, when an intruder penetrates their territory, stealing the prototype of a magical device the clan hopes will be worth a fortune--if a few bugs can be worked out . . .

But the prototype 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 . . .

I had a hard time starting this book. It's been a while since I've read a book from this series and I couldn't remember everything that happened in the last book. I wish I'd re-read book 8, I think would've enjoyed the earlier parts of this book.

In this book, we get to spend more time with the fae. Rule learns more about being Rho of Liedolf and Lu Nuncio for Nokolai. It is harder than he thought. Oh, and he has a brother. One he didn't know about.

There are a lot of twists and turns in this story. Once I got back to where I knew what was going on with the story, I loved it. Another great book for this series.
