Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:M'cal, a merman, has a voice with the immense power to uplift or destroy, but only the love of the beautiful Kitala Belle can release him from his enslavement at the hands of a witch using him for evil. Review:"'In her newest Dirk & Steele novel, Liu introduces fiddle player Kitala Bell, cursed with the ability to foresee people's deaths, and merman M'Cal, slave to a soul-stealing witch. When M'Cal's cruel master orders M'Cal to steal Kitala's soul, he's loathe to carry through with it but can't stop himself — or the witch. Unsuspecting Kit, meanwhile, has gotten herself in dutch with some local criminals while trying to help a girl she's sure will be murdered. By the time M'Cal catches up with Kit, he's forced into the role of rescuer — and, before long, red-hot lover. Though it starts slow — as clueless Kit must become acquainted with the author's paranormal underworld — Liu's latest is a clever, finely constructed take on the 'Little Mermaid' story and delivers great paranormal suspense. Though the love story lacks complexity, and the Dirk & Steele detectives play only a peripheral part, all the other elements Liu fans expect — a strong heroine, a damaged hero, sharp dialogue and funny, fanciful details — are well-represented, making this a satisfying return to her universe.
