Sinclair Reid of Romance Reviews Today
A DARKER CRIMSON is a fast-paced, attention-grabbing, action-packed hell of ride into the unknown demon world. Claudia is a tough-as-nails cop and a loving mother all rolled into one. . . The chemistry between Tiber and Claudia is intense, emotional, and simmers just beneath the surface, adding another level to the dangerous situation they are in. Another ingredient added into the turbulent mixture is Lath, the Bak-Faru demon who happens to be Claudia's vishtau mate. He wants nothing to do with Claudia, but the connection of the vishtau soon captures them in its grip and neither can fight it.
Jewel of a tale . . . says Harrier Klausner of The Best Reviews
The Crimson City saga has produced three previous great tales with each enhancing the realm set forth from the previous tale. However, the fourth novel, A DARKER CRIMSON, is the best jewel yet as the problems between humans, demons, vampires, and werewolves, etc. explodes into the open. The key cast members insure vampires, demons, and those humans living along side these paranormal creatures seem real so that fans receive a terrific thriller that sets quite a high bar for the next story to achieve.

Great Reviews for Marjorie M. Liu's A Taste of Crimson
PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY says:
[A Taste of Crimson] delivers a high-tension plot and protagonists so appealing that you might be tempted to invite them over for dinner-despite one being a werewolf and the other a vampire...Liu has a knack for making far-fetched circumstances seem feasible, and she draws characters with such precision - down to their dialect and mannerisms - that they practically step off the page. The too tidy conclusion may disappoint, but the fireworks between Keeli and Michael won't.
Through A Crimson Veil by Patti O'Shea. . . vivid, spellbinding and impossible to put down
Says Tanzey Cutter of Fresh Fiction: I got so involved in THROUGH A CRIMSON VEIL, I could not put it down. Even with all the dark, evil undertones of the futuristic time and place, her character development is first-rate and believable, her dialogue is crisp and snappy, and her narrative is vivid and spellbinding. If you're looking for something out of the ordinary in paranormal romance reading, I highly recommend this one.
