Another winner

Abigail Drake is the third sister in the Magical Drake Family. She is the one who can force the truth to be spoken. Somehow Abby has always felt she was less than the rest of her sisters. Her insecurity has led to a quiet studious lifestyle, in which only when she is in the ocean with her aquatic friends does she feel whole. Four years ago she met Alexsandr Volstov and fell in love for the first time. At last she felt loved for who she is and gave her whole life into his hands. Later when she found out he was using her to find out the truth about a serial child murderer, she was destroyed, and now somehow he has found her again.

Alexsandr is a police officer in Russia. He has been trained in covert ops and is not only a dedicated lawman, he is a trained killer. Somewhat like our SEALS. Finding Abby is paramount to him. He has never been in love before, he was raised as an orphan in a state home in Russia. Abby made him human and then she disappeared out of his life thinking he had betrayed her. He is working on a case when he finds her, so he must protect her from his enemies and convince her that she holds his soul.

When Abby is attacked while saving one of her friends, one of her dolphins is shot. Abby has witnessed the murder of Alexsandr's partner and the Russian Mafia is determined to kill her. They are in the midst of selling Russian Nuclear Material to terrorists.

Suddenly Alexsandr appears to save Abby and convince her of his love. But he also has to capture the villians and recover the stolen materials. Not just for Abby but for the world.

All of the sisters have come home to plan the weddings of Sarah and Kate. Will there be another wedding or will her fear keep Abby from grasping the happiness she deserves.

There are several surprises in the book. And I for one look forward to the next installment of the Magical Drake Sisters. IF you like Christines other books you will love this one.

Couldn't Buy Into It

I am a huge paranormal fan, so I start out my books knowing that they are going to be about fantasy characters, strange settings and weird powers. I sit down and turn to page one expecting to suspend belief and buy into the author's story. I just couldn't do that with "Oceans of Fire". First of all, the character of Abby was such an annoying little whiner that it was impossible to see how ANYONE would love her, let alone chase her for four solid years. Second, the plot was full of holes. And of course, there was the standard predictable feature of Feehan's recent books - seeing which of the secondary characters you are going to match to which secondary characters. It is obvious that Hannah and Jonas are a future match, as well as Joley and Prakenskii. When Feehan does this in her all of her series, it really irks me, because it doesn't flow with the story. It's as if Feehan stops in the middle of a plot, and all of sudden, she inserts a paragraph or two to advertise her future plots. It's a little jarring at times. The book started out well, and captured my interest, but by the middle of the book, I was quite frankly bored. From the middle on, I had trouble finishing it, and found myself reading and skimming just to be done with it. Use your library card, not your money.

Sisters of Sorcery

One aspect that I love about Christine Feehan's various series is that they are so very different. The Drake sister's are quirky, fun and trying (not successfully) to escape their part of the prophecy. This is the book where you get a better idea of who each sister is and boy do they make trouble when they're together. Abby takes front and center as the sister who loves the sea and has to watch what she say, as her power is through spoken word.
