2.0 out of 5 stars A disturbing end to the series, September 22, 2009

By	tabatha Mihelich - See all my reviews

This is the seventh and presumably the final Drake sister romance of the series...and much the way Christine Feehan introduced the series with mystical and spellbinding characters (anyone remember: Magic in the Wind) Magic in the Wind (Drake Sisters, Book 1) rather short, but still enjoyable...the series ends with a disturbing prose.

Stavros Gratsos, is a well-to-do Greek businessman involved in trafficking humans, Elle Drake must try her best to blend in with the social scene as she goes undercover to investigate. Yet, there is something strange about this man. Elle, now working under the guise of Sheena MacKenzie, is unable to use her psychic abilities on him - and thus unable to read his being. The book falls apart when the youngest Drake sister is forced to Stavros' private island.

Distraught and confused, Deputy Sheriff Jackson Deveau - the man that loves Elle, does all he can to find and return Elle to Sea Haven. Concerns are further raised when he learns that her six older sisters are unable to telepathically link to Elle. Will they be able to locate her? And if so, what has happened to her? Who is Stavros Gratsos? And how is he able to block their psychic abilities? I will stop there, but there are some very graphic and disturbing scenes coming up.

With all Christine Feehan books...the characters are drawn like an artist painting a masterpiece - and for this book that is a problem - the book also can overwhelm the reader with the number of characters in it - there are a lot! But the villain...Oh, the villain. The villain is one that is so depraved that all seven sisters (and more) are needed to bring his reign of sadistic terror to an end.

If you are new to the series, Hidden Currents (Drake Sisters, Book 7) is not the book you want. The characters and plot are so disturbing that you'll find yourself lost without having read the earlier books. If you are caught up with the series, then book 7 was a bad way to end a great series..............Skip it, and read the book I would highly recommend that blends mysticism and romance together flawlessly is JoAnna Wylde's novel Price of Pleasure-- Price of Pleasure -- that is, if you are one of the few that haven't read it yet.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing end to a great series, July 13, 2009

By	thebooklady27 "thebooklady" (West Virginia) - See all my reviews

I can only say " what was Christine Feehan thinking?" Since when do readers of paranormal _romance_ want to read about graphic torture and rape? A totally disappointing and out of character ( for the book's characters and for Feehan) end to an otherwise great series. I surely hope that this isn't going to be indicative of the author's future books....if so count me out.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bor---ring!!, July 27, 2009

By	Readalot (SW Florida) - See all my reviews

Let me start by saying I REALLY expected better from Ms. Feehan...especially since this was the 7th and last book in the series, which up till this point had 6 previous 5-star stories all leading up to the grand finale. I had to push myself to finish the book and did so because (1) I kept hoping it would get better and (2) because I had invested the $ and time in the previous 6 books. However, this book was a major let down. I won't even comment on the storyline -- what storyline??? The book just kept repeating over and over Elle's emotional trauma caused by Stavros'abuse (graphically detailed) early in the book and the lovemaking (graphic sex) episodes with Jackson. I have to say what I surmise happened is that Ms. Feehan was contractually obligated to the publisher for the 7th book and couldn't come up with a good plot in time to meet her deadline so Hidden Currents is what she ended up with. I also need to state shame on Jove (Publisher) for printing and marketing this book...did I hear someone whisper "greedy"?
