"superb police procedural fantasy"
Though home, Lily Yu and her werewolf soulmate Rule are
recovering from fighting for their lives and souls in Hell
when the Secret Service asks her to help them deal with
government officials who are making Faustian deals with
demons. They agree to uncover the identities of those
making demonic pacts in order to end this insidious
practice. Lily and Rule know they cannot go it alone especially
since he remains injured from a magic induced wound still
festering and causing him to lose control of his wolf
nature. They ask sorcerer Cullen Seabourne and FBI Agent
Cynna Weaver to assist them after magic is used to try to
destroy them. However, none of the quartet know as of yet
that their most dangerous foe, an ancient demon, plans to
end humanity's reign on earth via possession of special
arcane knowledge. The transition from NYPD cop to supernatural battler FBI
Agent (see MORTAL DANGER) is complete for the heroine who
comes home after a stint in Hell to fight demons on
earth. The relationship between Lily and Rule continues
to howl with love though he has issues with controlling
the inner wolf. The magic seems plausible, the demons
real and the return of enigmatic Cynna along with the
sorcerer hook fans journeying the fantasy realm of Eileen
Wilks. Harriet Klausner
