Lily is a great protagonist. I love that the elements of her Chinese-American heritage were well-integrated into this story. I love her no-nonsense, down to earth, cop personality, but also that she is open-minded enough to appreciate her gifts and to realize that there are things that go bump in the night.

Lily and Rule

Excellent new series to start. I think I have found another obsession.

I was happy to see that Wilks created a relationship where the mate bond didn't mean they instantly fell in love.
