Book Reviews of Eye of Heaven (Dirk & Steele, Book 5)
Book Review: Seems to be a great series
Summary: 4 Stars
This was my first introduction to the Dirk & Steele series by Liu and I am impressed. The series, while tagged a paranormal romance, does not lack in adventure/thriller elements. The book focuses on Blue, a member of Dirk & Steele detective agency, and Iris, a lion tamer/shapeshifter. Weaving together several subplots across continents, Ms. Liu deftly combines action and mystery with paranormal romance.
The characters, both paranormal and human, offer a complexity of emotion that is often lacking in other paranormal series. I also appreciate the way that the romance scenes are written to add plot and/or character elements - not just to throw in a gratuitous sex scene.
I eagerly await the arrival of the other books in the series!
Book Review: Another Winner from Liu
Summary: 5 Stars
Ms. Liu's latest Dirk & Steele fantasy romantic adventure, Eye of Heaven, is in my opinion, her best yet. This book has it all, a strong hero, Blue, and heroine, Iris, and a supportive cast of additional heroes and nasty baddies. The characters, with all their supernatural powers, seem like comic book creations but Liu gives them enough emotional angst to flesh them out and make you care about them. From the first page, this book takes off and the reader is in for one exciting, emotional thrill ride. This series keeps getting better and better and I eagerly look forward to the next novel. Bravo, Ms. Liu!Book Review: Wonderful fantasy romance
Summary: 5 Stars
Fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and Anne Rice should check out Marjorie Liu's exciting paranormal books. Detective Blue goes on a hunt for his long-lost lover in this exciting addition the series. Move over, Anita Blake - Dirk & Steele have arrived. Another fine addition to the genre from Marjorie Liu and Leisure/Dorchester. This series really crosses genres and can be enjoyed by horror, fantasy, and romance fans. Highly recommendBook Review: The best shifting descriptions I've ever read
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book. The author's descriptions of the shapeshifting process are the best I've ever read and I have read EVERY book about shapeshifters I could lay my hands on. The story is completely unpredictable and I cared so much for both the main characters and the supporting characters I could not lay it down until the end. I dearly hope there is a sequel because I am not at all finished with these characters!Book Review: Hard to put down.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was so much better than the previous full length novel, The Red Heart of Jade. The chemistry between Blue and Iris is wonderful. The complex situation that is forced on Blue by his father and the circumstances with Iris's mother are beautiful written. This is one of the best book I have read this year.
