This is the third book of this series that I have read (besides "Magic in the wind" and "Safe Harbor"). The others sisters didn't seem interesting enough for me to buy their books. I loved the first, didn't much like the second and bought this one with doubts. I actually liked it a lot; it was interesting, the plot kept my attention and the characters were likeable. I think it managed to avoid the two worst mistakes that writers make when writing a series: a) it focused on the hero and heroine. The sister's bond is an integral part of the books, but each book is supposed to be a romance, about one couple's love story not about the sisters, and b) it was not used to set up the back story for the next one. Feehan had done both those mistakes with "Safe Harbor"; the sisters got so much "screen time" and the Joley/Ilya relationship was such an interesting subplot that I ended up finding Hannah's story a bit boring!
Two things I would have liked to see in this book: One is more details about Ilya's background; I couldn't understand where exactly he was raised and by whom. Apparently, these people were villains who abused him as a child in order to train a killer, but he somehow ended up a policeman. How did this happen? A scene where he shares his past with Joley would have filled this hole nicely. The other is that the whole thing with Joley's "dark needs" is not explained very well. The way I saw it was that she is an essentially good person, but feels less worthy, because she compares herself with her sisters, most of which are too good and nice and proper, and she eventually comes to realise that being different doesn't make her bad. That was very intriguing, but it was only implied, not shown.

Just got this book the other day and I could not put it down, this has got to be my most favorite Drake Sisters book out of the whole .

"Drake Sisters" series book 6

At last 6th born daughter of the magical Drake clan; the impulsive, highly independent Joley meets her match in the form of assassin and body guard to the Russian mafia Ilya Prakenskii. Joley has successfully kept her dark side hidden from her family and has turned her attraction to "bad boys" into a family joke; however Ilya has seen into her very soul and knows every hidden fantasy she harbours. That said, Joley is determined to battle for her independence and remains unwilling to offer herself body and soul to a man who not only wields more magic than she does, but who is believed to be a stone cold killer.

The action runs fast and heavy as popular chart topping singer Joley appears to be targeted by a killer, yet she remains determined to continue her tour despite the growing anger from Ilya believing she is placing herself in danger. The intimate scenes positively steam up the reader's glasses as Joley gives in to her deep attraction to the extremely alpha Ilya; who in turn wants a permanent commitment from the flighty Joley rather than the hot affair she envisages with a man she believes is incapable of love.

I now eagerly await the final book in this magical romance series scheduled for release in June this year. Although "Hidden Currents" holds no surprises as to who will be matched to Elle; the youngest and most magically powerful of the Drake sisters, I am sure CF will produce a fabulous finale to a wonderful series.
