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. Supporting characters in Liu's books frequently turn up or have previously been in primary roles in other books in the Dirk & Steele series. One reviewer didn't like that. I had no problem with it. It was nice to learn more about the other characters and their back stories. Maggie Shayne does the same thing with vampire characters in her Twilight series. Most of Liu's paranormals are shape changers or have psychic abilities. In this book, more than her others, she throws in more of her own brand of magic and mythology.
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 a good book, but my least favorite of the 6 in the series so far.

Another great book in the Dirk & Steel series. Ex-cop and calirvoyant, Dean was sent with his shapeshifter partner to investigate a series of murders in Taipei. He finds a friend/love (Mirabelle) who he had thought dead and they both become hunted by another paranormal being.

Two people seperated for 20 years by magic and then are re-united and must seek the truth that may kill them or unleash power the world does not want or need!
Great book and a wonderful love story!
