I just finished reading the latest Drake sisters novel written by Christine Feehan and I definitely liked it. It was really different not just from the other Drake sisters books, but from most other romance books. It wasn’t the normal lighthearted fantasy that you would normally see in a love story.

I was very shocked that they abused her character the way they did, but it did make for a very touching story. It was very interesting read, just really surprising that they would go to such levels of abuse for a main character in a Romance/fantasy novel.

I was excited to pick up this book on several levels. I needed to find out finally what happens to Elle and the completion of the story of the seven sisters. I wanted to understand her magic which had been hinted at being all of the talents; I wondered how they would combine the talents, and why Elle wasn’t a more dominant figure with such powers. They had also foreshadowed so much in the other books about her and Sheriff Jackson so I was looking forward to see how they get together.

I was really shocked at the beginning of this book that someone as powerful as Elle could get captured. Once the abuse was done, it was touching to follow someone who had gone through such torture. I expected it to be like watching a car wreck and not being able to look away, but really her struggle to try to come back from the brink, and her strength and determination were encouraging.

The emotional turmoil was a bit of a downer, but it is a good story and great characters to follow. The paranormal fantasy parts were very interesting and I was glad that they showed all the sisters and their partners using their powers and being such an integral part of the plot. In all, this book isn’t as light and fun, but it is a great read and worth staying up late for!
