After reading Eileen Wilks' Mortal Danger, the sequel to Tempting Danger, I'm doing something unprecedented on this booklog and moving the series out of the category where it's shelved in bookstores. Yes, if you're looking for these, you'll have to go into the romance section, but with this book the series moves firmly into fantasy territory, and continuing to call it a romance would create incorrect reader expectations.

(I realize the covers have, as Chad said, girl cooties all over them. Nevertheless: not a romance novel.)

Thanks to loose ends from the last book, Lily Yu finds herself the victim of a puzzling demonic attack. This kicks off a fantasy/adventure plot which moves along nicely and allows additional worldbuilding, including more about the lupi's culture and an interestingly different Dis. I don't think I'll be putting these on any best-of lists, but they're competently entertaining and if you're in the mood for something urban or paranormal, you could do far worse than to give them a try.
