While looking for a new book, I came across Eileen Wilks’ Tempting Danger. This novel revolves around Lily Yu, who is a detective in San Diego and she becomes involved in a case that changes her life. She’s introduced to the close-knit society of the werewolves (who are legal citizens), while investigating a murder. There are still some legalities similar to the varmint laws surrounding the werewolves, so solving any case where a werewolf is involved becomes interesting. The case becomes even more complicated when Yu meets the Lu Nuncio (aka clan heir) of the local werewolf clan, Rule Turner. Let’s just say sparks definitely fly - figuratively and literally.

I enjoyed the story. It reminds me a little of the Riley Jensen series by Keri Arthur, yet it has it’s own world to it. It set in the present timeline and doesn’t take too many liberties with what is reality and fiction in our own world. The one thing I did like about this novel was that it didn’t draw me in so much that I had to constantly read it, but I still wanted to find chances to read it. If that makes sense. I’m definitely trying to get my hands on the second novel in the series Mortal Danger, as well as the third one, Blood Lines. I’ll let you know if I’m successful.

Here is a list of authors that I am currently trying. I haven’t gotten to all of them yet, but if you’ve read anything from them, please let me know.

1. Touch the Dark by Karen Chance (Cassandra Palmer series)
2. Moon Called by Patricia Briggs (Mercy Thompson series)
3. Working for the Devil by Lilith Saintcrow (Dante Valentine series)
