Reading order for WotL books
It’s important to read the World of the Lupi books in order, so start here to make sure you don’t lose your place in the reading order.
I recommend you start the series with TEMPTING DANGER, then come back to “The New Kid” after you’ve gotten to know Rule a bit. “Only Human” is a short story version of TEMPTING DANGER with slightly different characters and plot elements, so it’s not necessary to read unless you want to.

I’M hook on Eileen Wilks.. I hope that Ritual Magic was not the last book for Lily & Rule
Will these books be put out on Audio soon?
Will the Short Stories come out as one book one day?
Just finished Ritual Magic and I am eager to read Unbinding – too many days away, I must add. I am ecstatic to learn there will be more books in this series. I must say I am saddened that writers cannot write as fast as we fans can read LOL.
Thank you for sharing your ideas.
I cannot wait for more of her books.
I love these
Just read Tempting Danger and loved the character development, the surprises (Grandma what big teeth!) and the pace of the book as well. Look forward to reading the whole series now!
Finished reading Mind Magic for the 2nd time and each time it gets better and better. Can’t wait for the next one!
Thank you for a wonderful series. Looking forward to reading Dragon Spawn.
I just read Mind Magic, now I need to go back and re-read this series again. Thank you for sharing this world with us!
Wonderful series! !!! Curious if there are going to be more WOTL audio books, have 1-11 , but am addicted and really want to know if you are going to tell about the coming war?????
So will Dragon Spawn come out on audio also!!!!!:)
Thank you for this series. I’m addicted. Now to get the hard copy, (oh and 1,3&4 from graphic audio. Durn hard to find)
Can I order the entire series from you? The books I mean. I’ll have to start over.
You take me on fantastic adventures, Thank you! Your character development is fantastic!
I’m in love with this series. About to have surgery and I’m actually glad….uninterrupted reading time here I come! :p
This is an awesome series! You’ve develop interesting characters and the story lines don’t become predictable or boring. Although, I have to say hanging out with these characters is just asking for trouble. I don’t want the series to end so stay strong, Ms. Wilkes! I am eagerly awaiting book 13.
Hey Eileen, I was wondering if you have an email address I could use to ask you a sort of personal question? Thanks! 🙂
I’m rereading the whole series and waiting anxiously for book 15. I just would really ❤️really love for Lily and Rule to have children. Like maybe triples ❤️YEAH
I need help. I am losing my mind. What book/story is Ryder born? I am doing a reread but I can’t find it and it is driving me crazy. Thank you!
