Quick Pimp: Tempting Danger by Eileen Wilks

I stopped in the middle to order more, and as long as I’m at the computer and in the grip of a Good Book High, I thought I’d pimp a little. (More aggressive pimping to follow when I finish… assuming the end doesn’t fall apart as if the author underwent a lobotomy mid project.)

Parallel That Comes Closest to Expressing This Book’s Awesomeness: Think J.D. Robb’s In Death series, if Roarke was a werewolf and the setting was more magical than futuristic. Not in a blatant ripoff kind of way, but if one appeals to you, I’m pretty certain the other will. (I refrain from absolute certainty only because there’s always one screwball in the bunch.)

And there’s even a morally ambiguous outcast for me to covet! Could I be any happier? Lemme check… um, no!

    “Think J.D. Robb’s In Death series, if Roarke was a werewolf and the setting was more magical than futuristic.”

    I’ve used this comparison myself–it’s spot on. This series is beyond awesome.

    Wow, Kerry, every time I visit your blog I come away with another must-read to add to my TBR pile. :-) This one sounds fascinating.

    I was ecstatic this morning to find it was going to be a slow day at the day job, despite the financial hit that translates to, because it meant more reading time. Now work is trickling in, and my resentment is building. Damn job interfering with my reading! :evil:

    I actually bought this because the cover of the third book is so eyecatching. Fortunately for me, being obsessive about starting from book one worked in my favor in this case!

    Rule’s relationship with Lily’s cat is the thing that completely sucker punched me. There’s something profound about the intricate diplomatic culture of the wolves to be found in that seemingly insignificant interaction that’s making a large impression on me.

    I picked this and Mortal Danger as two of my favorite reads for 2006. I often cite them as one of the series of books that deserves hype/buzz/word of mouth but just seem to be undiscovered greatness.
