Marjorie M Liu's Soul Song - Sing It!

Marjorie M. Liu continues to provide a fresh voice in the paranormal romance genre with this, her 6th book in the Dirk & Steele series, as well as the first entry in her new Hunter Kiss series, Hunter Kiss, which was recently published in the anthology Wild Thing.

Soul Song is the story of 2 lonely beings, each trapped by life and circumstance, and each connected strongly to music. M'Cal is a creature of the sea whose voice can be used to kill; Kitala is a renowned violinist who has the ability to foresee violent death and whose music exudes a power with as-yet unexplored depths. Brought together through the deadly machinations of M'Cal's keeper, M'Cal and Kitala soon find themselves entwined with each other, secrets, and deadly force.

As with Ms Liu's previous books, the world-building, characters, and dialogue are fascinating and sharp, and the action remains mesmerizing. Despite these, however, the 2 things that didn't really work for me were the drawn-out mystery (and eventually revealed reason) regarding Alice and the seemingly mid-step change and denouement of the witch.

Overall, a solid recommendation from yours truly.
