Mortal Danger, book two in the World of the Lupi series by Eileen Wilks was full of action and adventure!
Lily Yu is going through a lot of changes since book one. She's working for the special federal force in search of a dangerous, missing staff while adjusting to life as the mate of a lupi. She seems so sensible to me. She's trying to take this mate thing as slow and really get to know Rule. She doesn't want him taking over her life and independence. It's not that she doesn't have feelings for him, or that she's not attracted to him. Lily just wants to make sure she knows this person who wants her moving in with him. I totally respect her character for that.
Mortal Danger takes place on two planes, and how that works totally kept me on my toes wondering how it was all going to work out. Lily is literally pulled apart here and while I was reading, I had a hard time picturing what was happening. It was a bit confusing to me, but by the end, thought the whole experience was really brilliantly done. There is somewhat of a loss, and I'm curious to see how that is going to affect Lily and Rule.
We also gain some characters that I'm excited to learn more about. I was left with an idea of whether these new characters were going to be good or on the bad side, but I won't know for sure until hopefully the next book. They have the potential to bring a lot of fun to upcoming books.
I'm really enjoying this buddy read and I'm excited to move on to book three. Our overall arc with the staff is still open and I am interested to see how these new characters are going to play a part. Mortal Danger left Lily and Rule in a cozier place and I'm also anxious to see where these two end up!This review was originally posted on Rantings of a Reading Addict

Even though I was confused quite frequently while reading this book, I've decided to rate it four stars. I found the plot developments interesting and I approved of how a certain issue was resolved. Hopefully I will find the next book in the series less confusing.
After reading this book, I finally figured what's been bothering me since the first book of the series. I liked the scenes with Lily Yu, the main character, but the ones that she wasn't in were boring to me. I couldn't warm up to a lot of the other characters. There are things I don't like about Lily, too, but generally it's nice to read about her. Mostly I don't care for Rule all that much and he's supposed to be a big part of the plot besides just the sexy love interest - and not liking him made me not like big parts of the book all that much. Besides I don't care so much about the love story, they are supposed to be destined to love each other which should be romantic and engaging, but instead it doesn't matter to me if they are together. I like Benedict and I started warming up to Cullen although I didn't like him at all in the first book, so I hope the next book with Cullen and Cynna will still be interesting to me. I'm still on the fence with Cynna, but so far I liked what I've seen of her. Another problem I have with this books is that the plots seem too convoluted and sometimes I loose interest in solving the mysteries since they are too complicated. But there were plenty of nice moments too, so I still liked the book.

Again I find I don't really like the Rule-Lily relationship. I like Lily's character but I just don't feel their relationship works. This book also had some confusing sections like the first book, mostly the Dis section. This really irritated me and caused me to skim a lot of the book. I keep reading though because I want to find out what happens to the other characters, especially Cullen.
I'm really enjoying these characters, even as their adventures get weirder and weirder. She creates an engaging world.
Didn't like this one as much as the first one
This took forever to read, stupid video games and down swing in motivation with up swing in need to work... That being said, I loved the story and the character developments and seeing the world through the eyes of Dis was neat. Plus Dragons.....love, always will love the dragons (or any dragon). Im hooked for another, great job.
What I really like about Eileen Wilks is that she's taken a trope that's saturating the current urban fantasy market (werewolves, oh my) and given it a particularly interesting twist.
The time that Lily and Rule spend in Dis throughout this book is wonderful for how alienated she manages to make her characters (and the reader) feel from the rest of the world.
