Book Review: The Red Heart of Jade
Summary: 5 Stars
Dean Campbell is a man full of secrets. Secrets about his job: he works for the Dirk & Steele Detective Agency, an agency that appears normal but hides a contingent of men and women who posess otherwordly powers. Secrets about his own powers: Dean is a clairvoyant and with one touch he can find objects, find energy lines and find people across space and time. And secrets about his lost love: twenty years ago he was in love with his best friend Miri, and even when she died in his arms, he never stopped looking for her wherever he went including on his latest assignment.
Dean has been asked to travel to Taiwan to investigate a series of murders for Dirk & Steele. People are dying by bursting into flames, and Dirk & Steele suspect that the killer may not be entirely human. Traveling with Koni, his shape-shifting partner, Dean must find out who is doing the killings and stop them before they harm anyone else. But when he arrives, nothing is as it seems. When he dreams of fire, and wakens to find a mark on his chest, Dean realizes how dangerous this mission is going to be. And when he finds a note along with a picture in one of the victim's homes, he discovers that the woman he loves might be alive. And in terrible danger.
Mirabelle Lee has been hurting for twenty years. She was once in love with her best friend but when he died she somehow found a way to go on with her life. She is now an archaeologist and Miri has recently been called to Taiwan to help excavate the 4,000 year old remains of three mummies. There is one mummy in particular that holds her attention. The lone woman in the group, she has inside of her chest a piece of red jade, imbedded right into her bone. Red jade that contains strange cursive writing, and calls to Miri in a way she can't understand.
When a man comes after Miri for the Jade, Dean and Miri cross paths for the first time in twenty years. Now that they have found one another again, they must deal with past hurts, present dangers and future uncertainties. Dean will not give up Miri now; he would rather die than see her gone from his life a second time and Miri is just as determined to be with him. With a terrifying enemy after them, and threats coming from every direction, Miri and Dean will have more to worry about than their relationship. Together, they must face a horrible decision, and find a way through it to survive.
The Red Heart of Jade is a fantastic read complete with heart-pounding suspense, thigh-clenching romance, skin-tingling magic and an intriguing couple with amazing powers. Marjorie M. Liu has created a fabulously unique world in the Dirk & Steele novels. I feel like I can curl up with her books and become utterly absorbed for hours, traveling along with Miri and Dean and the other agents as they fight for their lives and loves. I love this series, and The Red Heart of Jade is another perfect example of why Marjorie M. Liu is one of my favorite authors. I highly recommend The Red Heart of Jade to any lover of the paranormal!
