While Rule Turner and Lily Yu are not only trying to plan their wedding they must not only deal with their families objections but they are trying to plan a baby shower for their good friends Cynna and Cullen. Yet it seems that those are not the only evils that they must face. Can Rule and Lily fight and win against the threat that has come for vengeance on her family and destroy the city while it is here?

Lily Yu's character has great strength. As she deals with all that is thrown at her she still finds time for her love. Rule is just as strong and ready to stand and fight by her side. Many of the characters in this story are full of depth and it was interesting to learn much of the background about them. Although each family would rather have another Lily and Rule stick with each other and fight together. Lily's family longs for a Chinese husband while Rules clan would like no marriage at all but in the end the two prevail and their love shines through. Having a Chinese heritage I enjoyed seeing a strong Asian heroine. It was nice to see an ethnic heroine as they are few and far between. I enjoyed the Chinese magic and mystical forces in this story as well it all made for one interesting ride.

Eileen Wilks transports the reader into a magical world of shifters and grabs hold of you never letting go until the end. Full of magic and suspense this book is worth a look and will encourage you to seek out the other books in this series if you have not read them already. BLOOD MAGIC has some interesting surprises that keep the reader guessing until the end. If you enjoy a good storyline and shape shifters this is definitely one to check out.
