I just bought THE IRON HUNT last night. The girls and I made an emergency run to B&N around 9:20 pm. We were good… we only bought ONE book each. ;)

MaryKate – Fortunately Meljean Brooks just announced on her blog that Wild Thing is coming out in Mass Market Paperback. I haven’t read it yet, but lucky me, the wonderful Alice is sending it to me, so I should get it in the mail soon. I’ll let y’all know when I do.

KBabs – Haven’t read it yet, but I’ve read many reviews and I had the same thought. Why do you think ideas come out in twos? Deep Impact and Armageddon, Volcano and Dantes Peak, Behind the Veil and The Iron Hunt. There’s even another book about a demon radio station dj out there (along with Jeri smith-ready’s Wicked Game). Great minds think alike?

Sarai – Dirk & Steele is Paranormal Romantic Suspense. lol. It’s a mouthful. But each has a different hero/heroine pair and a HEA. There was no romance and no sex in The Iron Hunt.

Christine – Let me know if you find it less confusing after reading the prequel. I hope so!

Kaitlin – Yeah, “confusing but I liked it anyway” pretty much sums it up.

Alice – THANK YOU!!!

Wendy – thanks! Haven’t ready the prequel yet. I’ve only read the first two D&S books, but I liked them a lot. I LOVE MML’s masterful writing. But the serial killers scare me.

Nicola – You can borrow my copy of Wild Thing when it gets here.

CJ – Wasn’t that article fascinating? I want to reread all the UF books now and see how they treat the subject. Cassandra Palmer is the only one that sticks out in my head as being Not Connected To Reality.

Great review. I keep hearing you have to read the prequel first. Hey, also, thanks for the tip on that site about living on the streets, etc. There’s a lot of goods stuff there!

Just picked this one up — somehow I’ve missed The Wild Road… maybe I’ll try to find the anthology/prequel at the library.

I want to read this one so bad! I heard that it’s better to understand it if you read the beginning in that other anthology – did you read it?

I’ve liked most of her Dirk & Steele books, especially the latest one The Wild Road – very good!

Anyway, love the review, very informative and well-written. :)

You have it! You have it!
I love her writing, but this sounds super confusing…sort of ;)
Her Dirk and Steele series is nice too. Hmmm…books…
Great review and I love your “Perhaps that is what they teach in law school: to be facund but not necessarily perspicuous.” I’m sure they should be teaching quite a few things. Hehehe.

I agree with you. I like her Dirk and Steele series much better. However, I still really enjoyed this book. I wish I’d known (like you) that the prequel was in the Wild Things Anthology, because I got really, really lost whilst reading this book. Too much going on and too much missing.

Still, it was a great book. :D

Thanks for the review, Ciara. I’m off to the bookstore in just a little while today and was hoping to pick this one up. I do have the Wild Thing anthology, so I’ll be sure to read Liu’s “Hunter Kiss” first. Hopefully it will set a few things in order, but we’ll see. The Iron Hunt still sounds rather complex.

Now didn’t she write a series Dirk and steele? Are they not UF? More paranormal? Some people (Okay A LOT of people) have suggested I read it but I have balked. Maybe I should the quotes you picked are beautiful…. Hum…

have you read Shiloh Walker’s new one? It is about demons behind the veil also.
