I can't find the name of the 4th book in the Dirk and Steele series by Marjorie M. Liu. Everywhere just skips it like: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th.... :mad:
*sigh* So yeah, anybody know it?
 
I think the book you're looking for is Dark Dreamers by Christine Feehan and Marjorie M Liu.

(This paperback book has two novellas, "Dark Dream" by Christine Feehan and "A Dream of Stone and Shadow" by Marjorie M Liu.)

""A Dream of Stone and Shadow" by Marjorie M. Liu is a new installment in her fabulous Dirk and Steele series. Aggie Durand is able to see potential futures which aids her greatly in her detective work for Dirk and Steele. Relentless at pursuing child pornographers and molesters, Aggie is unable to resist the ghostly plea of Charlie that she rescue Emma from her abusers. Charlie is a prisoner himself of an evil witch. He can only communicate with Aggie or Emma when he is dead as his soul is then free to wander while his organs regenerate. After all, Charlie is a gargoyle. Aggie is determined to rescue both Emma and Charlie- but at what cost to herself?"
 
Oh, thanks so much.:) So there are two books in one. Now, are they related to each other, or are they two completely different books? :confused:
 
I think that was probably a business decision by the publisher. I can remember only a few novellas published as a single book, and those are by famous best-selling authors. So, two novellas published together in the same book would make a (skimpy) book that might be bought by fans of both authors, therefore (hopefully) selling twice as many copies.

I haven't read either of these authors, so I can't say if the novellas are related, but I would guess that both authors write in the same genre, and that readers of one author also tend to buy books by the other author. I'm sure that the book reviews would have mentioned if the novellas were set in the same universe or had the same characters.

Some reviewers did complain that the other novella "Dark Dream" was a reprint, and they didn't realize that they had already bought and read that story.
