from the author's site:

 FBI agent Lily Yu is in North Carolina with her lover and mate Rule Turner, lu nuncio of the Nokolai werewolf clan, where he is to take custody of his son from the boy’s grandmother. It’s a purely personal trip until Rule, in wolf form, finds three bodies in a shallow grave. They carry the stench of death magic, which makes the murders a federal crime. Lily takes charge of the investigation, and soon realizes that nothing adds up—not the motives, not even the accused killer, who’s behind bars when death strikes again.

But murder, however bizarre, is an everyday affair for Lily, who was a homicide cop before being recruited into the FBI’s Magical Crimes Division. A more personal shock arrives in the person of Rule’s son’s mother. Why is she challenging Rule’s long standing plan to bring his son to live among the Nokolai?

But family must take a back seat when the violence escalates, and there’s no rhyme or reason for the killer’s next strike—a killer who may not even be of this world...

my thoughts:

Mortal Sins was a very interesting read. Though because I'd never read any of the previous books in the series, it took me a bit to get into. Despite my initial confusion, I really got into and enjoyed the story. I'm definitely going to be picking up Eileen Wilks earlier Lupi books. 

Mortal Sins was a slightly different Romance in the sense that Rule and Lily are already together when the story opens. Sometimes that's nice to read though because you get to see how the relationship progresses and how they survive the bumps along the way. 

Eileen Wilks is a new-to-me author that I plan on reading again. I recommend you give her a try too. However if you're like me and you prefer to read a series in order then you'll want to start with book 1, Tempting Danger.
