I am slowly making my way through the 2 1/2 bags of books that I've either checked out from the library, borrowed or bought/received as gifts. This series is by Marjorie M. Liu, former lawyer turned author. She's got 2 series, plus a couple other books. She is also a co-writer for Marvel Comic Books.
I'll be honest and tell you I wasn't sure what to expect when I first started Tiger Eye. And mainly began reading it because the due date at the library was creeping up on me. Who knew that once I'd started, I wouldn't be able to put it down. Not only couldn't put it down, but was half-way through the book before I knew what had happened. The series is based on a company (Dirk and Steele) that is set up as a specialized detective agency. The company looks for and provides a family for those that don't fit in.....specifically those with specialized talents, like those that can command steel/metal, fire starters, men who can read the entire history of an object/person just by touching it, shape-shifters, get the picture? It reminded me a little of the movie "Push" with Chris Evans and Dakota Fanning.
The books are action packed and rather emotional.....as each main character tries to confront issues of trust, love and family. Marjorie Liu does a fantastic job of using small amounts of descriptive language to paint fantastic pictures of the sights, smells and feelings her characters encounter. This was a great series and I can't wait to finish the last three!
The books in this series are:
