Search - Shadow Touch (Dirk & Steele, Bk 2)

Second book in an excellent new series. Just as good or better than Tiger Eye. (It is a stand-alone story but I highly recommend reading Tiger Eye first.) Elena Baxter heals with her mind. Artur Loginov is a Russian emigre who can read minds, shape-shift, and start fires. They are captured for their talents, cornered, isolated & caged. Their love story starts in their sleep a dream of a face, a brush of a mind, the hint of a kiss, and finally, at long last a shadow touch. They join forces to escape. Very romantic and full of action.

Liu became one of my favorite authors as soon as I began reading her first book, Tiger Eye She is a relatively new author, all of whose books so far involve characters who work for Dirk & Steele, an undercover paranormal organization / detective agency. Primary characters in this book will turn up in supporting roles in subsequent books and vice versa. One reviewer didn't like that. I had no problem with it. It was nice to learn more about the other characters in subsequent books. Most of the paranormals are shape changers or have psychic abilities.

Fast paced. Likable characters. A story that sucks you in right away and is hard to put down. Liu doesn't write "bodice rippers," but there's plenty of romance. It's just a GOOD book.

I really liked this book! It wasn't really "romancey" but I got so caught up into the story and the action, I didn't mind! If you like the paranormal, give her a try!!

This is a good light read for summer. It dose seem as if this book was longer and was edited to fit a certain size book. It doesn't always flow smoothly.

Awful story, had to keep skipping pages to try to find something interesting about the story. The bad guys were so horrid I didn't want to read about all that they were doing.
Yuck, am swapping book ASAP.

Second in a series. It is an involved fantasy that is very well written.
