Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Dirk and Steele have a creed: Protect the innocent in secrecy. No member of the Agency is "normal." "Blue" Perrineau is no different. And now, when it is clear that darker shadows exist in the world — people who followed no rule under heaven—every secret is a liability. Blue wtll soon see.

They come from all over the world to observe Iris's lithe, catlike body and her affinity for wild creatures. All eyes are upon her, seeking, judging...coveting. But one gaze is that of a savior, a man of electricity and mystery — a mystery as deep and convoluted as her own. And together, they might yet see the dawn.

Review:

"Once again, Liu has managed a brilliant blend of fantasy, action and romance in her latest Dirk & Steele novel, which follows the members of a paranormal detective agency. When electrokinetically gifted agency detective Blue Perrineau is blackmailed by his father, dying billionaire Felix Perrineau, he's forced to track down Felix's other son, Daniel — the brother Blue never knew he had. His search for Daniel takes him to a small Las Vegas circus that features Iris McGillis, a slinky shape-shifter with a lion act and a global fan base. After Blue saves Iris from an ecoterrorist sniper, they form an instant attachment, but he runs into trouble when he finds Daniel and, later, a dangerous flesh peddler — both of whom also have plans for the hypnotically sexy Iris. Liu brings her skewed universe to life with skill and conviction, grounding the comic-book plot with fully realized personalities and the workaday details of circus life. Though a bit drawn out, this entry will undoubtedly please fans of the series and should provide a fresh thrill for anyone in the market for an extraordinary romance. (Dec.) " Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

I have read every book and short story available by this author and loved all her work so much that she is an automatic pre-order for me. Ms. Liu's writing is so compelling and evocative that readers easily suspend disbelief and find themselves emersed in a world of magic and passion ,where good and evil clash while an unsuspecting "normal" world appears unaware. "Eye Of Heaven" is part of the "Dirk and Steele" paranormal series and I'm banking on it being just as riveting as its predecessors. If you enjoy your heros manly but not overbearing and your heroines smart and honorable, this is the author for you.

Marjorie is a wonderful author, and I am completely entralled by her Dirk and Steele stories and can't wait for this one to come out. I am sure by the time I read it that my rating will change to a 5. If you have not picked up these books, you must, if you like strong people, wonderful Alpha males, and paranormal talents that don't always do what they are supposed to.
