This Series is bout a family of magical sisters and the family ledged that all seven have powers, the first 6 each have a different power and the seventh has all six. This book is about Abbey, who has a love for the water and everything in it; mostly dolphins, which she studies. The pod that is in the ocean near the Drake family home has welcomed her in to their pod as one of their own. While studying her dolphins one night she sees a murder. and of course trouble ensues, She meets and falls in love with Aleksandr Volstov. Aleksandr Volstov grew up in a Russian orphanage and has been trained for one thing, and one thing only, to kill. Abigail, a marine biologist (?), witnesses a murder, and must rely on her sisters as well as her former fiancé, Russian Interpol agent Alexsandr Volstov, for protection. Meh. The four stars is mainly out of loyalty, I have to admit. I enjoy the series, but I think the book could have been quite a bit shorter. And Abby? The man left you to SAVE FREAKIN' CHILDREN! And he's told you this. Get over yourself. ARGH. I'd have liked it much more if Abby wasn't such a self-centered twit. Abigail, one of seven magical sisters, studies dolphins. The story opens with her swimming with the local dolphin pod when she witnesses a man being killed in a boat. Unable to do anything for him she is able to rescue a local man. Despite being shot at she manages to bring her friend to shore with the help of the dolphins and the added power of her sisters. On the shore she finds Alexandr Volstov, the Interpol agent who once broke her heart waiting for her. It was his partner who has been killed. Abigail and Alexandr have unfinished romantic business. But first they have to solve the crime. I am a fan of Christine Feehan. She has a number of paranormal series going - but my favourite is this one about the Drake sisters. It is the fourth in the series. no reviews | add a review

Abby is the third daughter born into the magical Drake bloodline. She uses her special connection with water and dolphins in her work as a marine biologist. Abby travels the world researching and swimming with her dolphins, until her peace is shattered when she witnesses a murder.
While trying to elude the killers, she runs right into the arms of Alexsandr Volstov, a Russian Interpol agent, and the man that broke Abby's heart four years ago. Abby and Alexsandr must work together to find the people responsible for the murder, keep everyone in Sea Haven safe (including Abby's six sisters and meddling Aunt Carol) and struggle to get past the painful history of their failed relationship.
Oceans of Fire is the most exciting of the Drake Sisters books so far. The plot was fresh and dramatic, full of the kind of suspense that Christine Feehan does so well. The electrifying intrigue and fascinating characters made this a sensational story. As always, Feehan's writing is fabulous and had me enthralled from the first page. The Drake sisters are all so enchanting, and Feehan does an amazing job of giving the reader little pieces of all of each of their stories in every book, to build their stories slowly and make me want to read them all right away.
I've become addicted to this series - just as I was to Christine Feehan's Dark series - so now I have to finish out the Drake Sisters books before I can read anything else - it's like a compulsion! For now, I will have to be content with reading through book 6 (book 7 comes out later this year,) and I think the best is still yet to come. I can't wait to find out what happens with the other four Drake sisters: Libby, Hannah, Joley, and of course Elle. (
