Book Review: Hidden Currents

Hidden Currents by Christine Feehan

Description:Being the 7th daughter of a 7th daughter means your fate has been written out for you – you will have 7 daughters of your own. That may be hard for you to understand, try finding the man that you are fated to and having him understand. That is what happens to the youngest sister Elle Drake and her love Sherriff Jackson Deveau. So Elle goes out into the real world trying to help people by spying. When she comes across a man so evil no one can destroy him and he will stop at nothing to have Elle.

Elle’s sisters aren’t going to let anyone have her. They and Jackson will do whatever it takes (including putting all their powers together) to get her back to their family. But that is only the first step – they must put her back together – and stop the evil that is coming for her!

Thoughts: This is the darkest book of the Drake Sister’s series. I was sad to see them end – but it was nice to see everyone happy. I wouldn’t suggest this for the faint of heart. Elle lives through a very rough time (rape, beatings, emotional and physical abuse) and comes out the end stronger because of it. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t take its toll on her. She is lucky that she has a strong family behind her.

Despite that good will overcome evil once again. Sometimes the struggle and pain make the victory all the more rewarding.

Turbulent Sea

Turbulent Sea by Christine Feehan (Drake Sisters Novel)

What was this book about?

Joley is one of seven sisters with special powers. She is now a world renowned singer and her band and herself are on tour. She met Ilya Prakenskii a year before and has been touched by their connection ever sense. It seems as if Ilya also has his own special gifts and one of those is getting in her head.

Joley doesn’t know if she can trust Ilya – he works for a Russian mobster as a bodyguard. But her heart seems to have already made the decision for her. But with everything going on around her and someone out to kill her – she needs to make sure she really should trust him.

What did you think about the book?

We have been seeing the buildup between Joley and Ilya through several of these other books and you finally are able to see their story. Of course they have a tumultuous love affair where Joley doesn’t know if she can trust a man that seems so dangerous and dark – even if he does have special powers like her and her sisters and he has saved her sisters life.

I like the Drake Sisters a lot. The thought of a family of seven sisters each with a special power (and the last with all their powers) fits right into the type of books that I love to read. They each can have their own personality, own dreams, but together family is more important then everything.

I don’t know what it was about this book (maybe the drama going on parallel where someone is trying to hurt Joley) but it was a bit harder for me to get into this book. I would have to admit of the 6 books that are out now – this was my least favorite.

But it doesn’t mean I wouldn’t suggest reading this series to someone. Overall Christine Feehan generally gives you what you want.
