There is a reason Christine Feehan is one of my favorite authors. Her stories grab you from the beginning and don't let you go until the last page is turned. Once again she has hit a home run with Hidden Currents, the latest in the Drake Sisters saga. No author can bring a reader into the folds of a family like Feehan can, and her latest Drake story doesn't disappoint. It is a rare author who can create an extremely complex fictional family that leaves you longing to be a part of it. Her stories aren't just filled with action, international intrigue, psychic phenomena, but they are filled with loyalty, compassion, sisterhood, love of family and dedication. In today's world of disfuctional families and lifestyles, the Drakes in Feehan's novels are refreshing and a throw back to a time where family were close and came above all else.
Hidden Currents is the story of Elle, the youngest of the seven Drake sisters. As an undercover agent trying to get the goods on the head of a human trafficing ring, Elle finds herself the object of his obsession. When she goes missing and is presumed dead, it is up to Jackson, a man with his own tormented past, her sisters and the community that loves them, to rescue her. In this novel we get to see just how close knit this small southern Californian community is. Jackson, will reach across the miles through their telepathic connection to give her hope and find her before it's too late. He will bring together a team of highly trained operatives to travel half-way around the world to attempt a rescue as her sisters command the elements to aid them. Her sisters will feed their own powers into maiintaining a link to her. The small town of Safe Haven will band together and risk their lives to stand behind this family.
Feehan masterfully takes you inside the tormented minds of former POW, Jackson and kidnap/human trafficing victim, Elle. She shows you the struggle they face to not lose their identity in the face of endless torture. Feehan gives you glimpses of the psychological toll it takes on those who love them. You feel the push and pull of the relationships as they cope to survive. Only Feehan gives you such gripping action and wraps it up with a heart warming yellow ribbon. When an evil man whose wealth and power knows no bounds tries to destroy the Drakes and claim Elle for his own, it will take everyone coming together to save Elle, her sisters and their community.
I read this non-stop, over 400 page novel in a day. If this were a film, the audience would be on the edge of their seat. Truly Feehan at her best!
