One of the early Dirk and Steele novels (published in
2008), THE LAST TWILIGHT brings together Dr. Rikki Kinn and
Amiri in the Congo, where multiple factions fight for
medical miracles, sometimes trampling human rights far and
wide. Rikki knows what it is to be held at the mercy of
merciless tormentors, so she has difficulty trusting
anyone. Amiri, the cheetah shapeshifter, has also
experiences a loss of freedom, so he understands her trust
issues. However, he has other reasons not to want to get
close. His father's voice echoes in his mind as it has for
years, causing him to doubt his every step. Now, there's no
room for doubt as he, Rikki, and assorted companions, foes,
and dangerously neutral individuals thrust into their path
try to survive.
I love the Dirk and Steele series, and I
adore this book, not only for Rikki and Amiri's
relationship, or more details about Rictor, but also the
depth of Rikki's response to Eddie. The only thing that
annoys me is when the artist of the cover didn't read the
book. The cover is beautiful and powerful and lovely, but
there are a few very important elements that the artist
should have considered or been told to consider in his or
her artwork development. So, enjoy the beautiful art, then
put a book cover on it to enjoy the beautiful book!
Duty called Dr. Rikki Kinn to the Congo. One of the
world's top virus hunters working for the CDC, she is on a
mission to investigate a deadly new plague. But there are
those determined to stop her—at any price. Shape-shifter
Amiri was born in this land of untamed splendor. Here he
woke with the sun and raced as the cheetah . . . until he
was kidnapped and subjected to terrible experiments by the
evil Consortium. Now his colleagues and brothers in Dirk &
Steele want him to return to Africa to face his
nightmares. For a good woman has been targeted for death—a
beautiful healer who holds the fate of millions in her
hands, whose destiny is intertwined with his—and whose
need leaves Amiri vulnerable, threatening his heart, his
passion . . . and his soul.
