by Marjorie M. Liu
I've read a couple of Marjorie Liu's books and honestly haven't rated one above three stars (and that was stretching it). Her premises always sound exciting and promise to draw the reader in but they just fail to do that. I find myself drifting off and literally have to force myself to finish her bo...
Dean Campbell is an ex-cop, now working for Dirk & Steele, a detective agency who used their paranormal powers to deal with both mundane and paranormal cases. They kept trying to keep innocent people alive and stop some of the more evil paranormals from gaining an upper hand, sometimes compromising...
There is drive-thru paranormal and there is sit down, multi-dish, stick to your ribs and set your taste buds on fire meal eating. Both are good, depending on what you want. As a paranormal fan, I love a book that I can devour in three hours and get my PNR fix. But as a reader who likes to be wowed,...
First off, I'm liking the heck out of this series but... this installment had me as confused as the H/h were (what's going on?!)So our H/h practically grew up together until... they were attacked while making out in the backseat of a car some creep decided to steal. Uh...yeah. Both were shot in ...
This is the 3rd book in the Dirk & Steele series. The book has 282 pages on the Nook. I liked this book the story moves at a fast pace but it took longer for me to get into the story then the first book did. I think that all the characters in the Dirk & Steele detective agency are interesting and li...
This was an enjoyable adventure with Dean from the Dirk & Steele detective agency. He re-discovered his childhood sweetheart Mira while traveling across Asia. This felt like a PNR version of Indiana Jones with Chinese dragon shifters. This one still left a few unresolved items in the end and hopef...
Maybe it's the result of reading these two write next to each other, but I saw a lot of SHADOW TOUCHED in THE RED HEART OF JADE. Nothing overt, but Mira and Dean's banter reminded me a lot of Elena and Artur, Mira's feelings for Koni reminded me of Elena's reaction to Artur's team, and Robert and R...
I ended up liking this book although the beginning had me wanting to put the book down several times. Once I got past the first chapter, it ended up being an enjoyable read. 3.5 stars.
I’ve only read Marjorie Liu’s Crimson series entry but enjoyed her voice so much I decided to pull this book from the pile (well, there’s that and the fact that my friend has patiently been waiting for me to return it for months). I’m afraid I may have picked the wrong book from the pile this time...
This one was a fast and easy read for me. We learned more about the Dirk & Steele agency. I like this new guy who is a psyhic-cop. Dean is off to Taipei which is good for me since it's a place I'm familiar with. I like the mixing of other cultures and the interracial relationship without trying ...
