Tiger Eye by Marjorie Liu

This was an interesting story. I really liked how it started off set in China. The heroine, Dela, was an extremely good person. I loved how honorable she was, and just found her really likable. As for Hari, the hero, I felt so bad for him! A slave for 2000 years, cursed by a Magi to have to do what he was told. I just...wow. I liked Hari a lot, though. He was smart and really great to Dela. I thought their romance was a little quick, but I kind of understood it because Dela learned a lot about him from touching his weapons, due to her mental abilities with steel. Another aspect of this book I found enjoyable was the fact that Dela had quite a few friends, and I'm interested to see them all get their stories.

There was a lot of action in this story due to the Magi hunting Hari, and then a knife Dela had made in her work as a blacksmith was used to kill a mafia family's daughter. So they were hunting them as well. All the while, Hari and Dela were trying to break Hari's curse. Sometimes I got a bit confused, and things got a little weird around chapter 15, but it was still a good book.

I would recommend this for any paranormal romance fan who likes shifters. The characters were great, and I really liked how the abilities in this story were mostly mental. It seems like a pretty unique series, so I'll be looking into book 2 soon.
