A year ago I came across a new writer, Marjorie M. Liu who had written a
vampire romance in the Crimson City series from Dorchester Publishing A
Taste of Crimson. I fell in love with her style and ability to create a
complex plot that pulled the reader along with her characters. I immediately
set out to find more books by this talented writer, and discovered her Dirk
and Steele series.
The latest in the series is The Last Twilight. As with each of the
Dirk and Steele series the world is the backdrop, this one in the wilds of
Africa. Ms. Liu’s strength is in her settings and characters you care about
and hold your breath as each dark twist takes them deeper into the lion’s
mouth.
Amiri, a cheetah shape-shifter, is forced back to Africa to protect Rikki
Kinn from an unknown danger. A victim of kidnapping and torture in the
second book in the series, Shadow Touch, Amiri finds in Rikki a
kindred spirit who has been through her own trials, some as painful as his
own.
I cannot recommend this book or series highly or strongly enough. If you
want to lose yourself in a paranormal series, pick up any Dirk and Steele
novel, but don’t miss The Last Twilight.
