Review: Blood Lines (World of the Lupi Series Book ) by Eileen Wilks

Blood Lines by Eileen Wilks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A World in Flux

This book tells a story of a world about to change. Lily and Rule are back from Dis (hell) and have reached a much deeper understanding of each other, despite Lily’s missing memories. She can remember snippets from her other self’s time in Dis, but she doesn’t have complete memories. Whatever she remembers though, is enough to deepen her feelings for Rule. Rule has the memories of the Lily who sacrificed herself for him and sees the Lily who risked everything to rescue him and knows that her feelings are real. Those new feelings are tested as the world around them starts to change.

Magic is blowing through the world at levels not seen for centuries. It’s blowing out technology and people’s gifts are going crazy and Lupi are being forced to shift. On top of that demons are coming after the Lupi heirs and Rule is forced to deal with Leidolf, the clan who sent assassins after his father.

A lot happens in this book and there are many strands to follow with the action darting between Rule and Lily and Cynna and Cullen. The Lupi world and the world of demon riders come into collision and Cynna is the only one with the knowledge to help. I liked that the focus of the plot line opened up and encompassed different characters. It made it more interesting and gave more in depth insight into previously supporting characters, who are now being thrust into the spotlight. Cynna and Cullen are not taking over in this book but they are stepping front and centre alongside Rule and Lily, which makes sense because when you are fighting a goddess you need more that two people to do it!

There were a few moments where I wondered what on earth was going on and the explanation for it wasn’t great, but other than that small item I really enjoyed the book and will continue onto the next one in the series quite happily. I’ve very much enjoying this re-read of a gem I’d forgotten all about.
