Death Magic World of the Lupi Book 8 edition by Eileen Wilks Romance eBooks

This is volume 8 in Eileen Wilks' "World of the Lupi" series, which I find to be among the best currently ongoing. More than anything, I love Wilks' skill as a writer. She has created an alternate earth with perfection. For me, she is right up there with Anne Bishop in this department, particularly in comparison to Bishop's "World of the Others" series.
For those familiar with the series, all the usual characters are there, some in major presence, some in the background. And there are some new players as well.
Even though this book was published in 2011, the story that plays out is very much analogous to today's current political scene, where fear of others as different, criminal and untrustworthy (yes, GOP, I'm talking to you and your very far right wing).
The plot centers around the uprising of the "Humans First" movement and their planned use of magic (to which they claim to be opposed), to disrupt rallies in five major cities on the same day, the largest being in Washington, D.C., where Rule, as Rho of Leidolf clan, finds himself along with Lilly, his Chosen.
There is an attempt to frame Ruben, the head of the FBI's special unit for investigating magical crimes and of which Lily is a member. He has also formed a "ghost" unit, very select and secretive, to which Rule belongs, but Lily does not, though invited, because the secret unit may find the need to go around the law at times.
This plot has many twists and turns and Wilks' writing keeps the reader turning pages rapidly. The creativity of the plot and the storyline and the development and transformation of various characters is fascinating.
This book is an edge-of-your-seat thriller/mystery with an ending only EW could imagine. By no means try to read this as a stand-alone, since it will make little sense if you have not read the prior seven books in the series. Highest recommendation.

Death Magic World of the Lupi Book 8 edition by Eileen Wilks Romance eBooks Reviews

In installment eight, Lily and Rule are back in DC giving testimony for a Senate Committee hearing regarding their roles in the situation from the end of last book. Things are escalating with the Humans First crowd and their engagement. But of course, things are not that simple.

Lily learns of a shadowy group that are in place to protect the world against the Lady's enemies and Rule is part. Lily refuses. Then Lily is assigned to a murder investigation and the lead agent doesn't care for gifted kind or magic, but the murder was done with death magic. And whoever did it is using the death of a high profile senator to work their own ends by framing Ruben and involving the Lupi.

Lily has much to ponder including why she is suddenly seeing ghosts. But time is running out. She must figure out what Friar and the Humans First group have planned and stop it before the secret war escalates and many innocents along with many friends are killed in the crossfire.

With each book, a little more of the World of the Lupi is revealed and a new case or mission is presented. Lily usually has some ethical or important decision to make. And this book is no exception.

Lily has always been a curious heroine for me because she takes analytical thought to whole new heights. As the reader, I can appreciate this even while sometimes I feel like she gets mentally constipated and I'm waiting for her to arrive at the obvious conclusion. This is why I had to laugh when someone else took matters in hand and forced Lily along much quicker than she ordinarily would have gone. Lily didn't like it, but I was relieved that she didn't make as big a stink about it as I thought she would.

I enjoyed that the series continues with allowing Rule to take the narration a few times. I like Lily, but I like breaks from her occasionally, too. And what's not to like about getting Rule's thoughts. They are a wonderful pair who appreciate each other and weld together neatly.

The slow build of tension and escalation of danger has been exciting. I enjoyed that Cullen, Fagin, and Ruben had large roles in this one. I also liked the intro of the Brownie race and Ruben's wife Deborah.

Oho, that twist and new reveal about the Wythe mantle was a shocker and make things interesting in the future, I think.

All in all, another great installment in the series.
