Hidden Currents by Christine Feehan
The final installment in the Drake Sisters Series...or is it?
Christine has outdone herself with Elle's story. She definately saved the best for last. Since the first chapter was published beforehand, it's safe to assume that you have all read the excerpt so I won't be spoiling that for you. "Hidden Currents" begins with a glamour yacht party hosted by a Greek tycoon who wants to keep Elle for himself. But why? Since Elle is attending as a woman named Sheena MacKenzie, he has no idea who she actually is. But he will go to great lengths to keep her.
While back home in Sea Haven, the true love of her life---the quiet, deadly Jackson Deveau, worries about her disappearance. Why had he allowed her to work undercover? Why didn't he order her to stay home where it was safe? Because she's Elle and would never have listened to him.
Jackson must find a way to rescue Elle and bring her home.
Although this is the last sister in the series, Christine left some loose ends in "Hidden Currents" which makes me wonder if there is perhaps a spin-off series of some of her secondary characters or maybe a series with the next generation of Drakes................
"Hidden Currents" made me laugh, cry and rejoice all in one book. Not to mention that it gave me my new motto---"you are down, but you aren't out".
Well done, Christine!

Must Reads For July!!!!
For those who have yet to hear: There are some absolute MUST reads being released this month!
You can never go wrong with a read by Gena Showalter, her latest release "Seduce The Darkness is an absolute must! Taking place after a world changing war, McKell (beautiful Vampire), seeks other vampires. Devyn, King of the Targons, claims to know where they have all gone. In a nutshell, Devyn tries to add Bride to his collection of women. But she has other ideas on that subject. She becomes his obsession, but will they be torn apart when it's discovered that her blood can cure an entire race? Or will love conquer all?
Another book out this month is "Dragons Prefer Blondes" by Candace Havens--a new author for me, but this one sounds WAY too good to ignore! Picture the movie version of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". A well to do socialite who, instead of battling vampires, wages war against dragons. As if that isn't enough of a challenge, the Dragon Warrior Ginjin--the same warrior who has tried to kill her several times already--chooses her to be his mate! What's a girl to do? Hire a hottie that happens to be the head of a security company as a bodyguard! Which one to choose....human hottie or the Dragon that tried to kill you?
The final book in Christine Feehan's Drake Siters Series, "Hidden Currents", is also being released this month. It is the story of youngest sister Elle and her romance with town deputy Jackson Deveau. The quiet, deadly man whom she has a past connection with. I, for one, am hoping Christine extends this series into the next generation or perhaps a spin-off of some of her secondary characters.
Coming August 25th is the release date for "The Darkest Whisper", the latest installment of The Lords of the Underworld series by Gena Showalter! I have read all but the first installment in this series and let me tell you, these are some of the most fascinating hunks this side of the Underworld!
The series centers around a group of Greek Guardians who were the ones to have opened Pandora's box (another Guardian whom they killed). As punishment, they became the keepers of the world's ills and misfortunes.
"The Darkest Whisper" is the story of Sabin, the keeper of Doubt. The demon of Doubt, which resides in Sabin's warrior body, instills mistrust and doubt in everyone---icluding Sabin. How can a woman actually fall for someone when she doubts his love for her, doubts his fidelity, the very soul of the man she loves?
