I liked most of the dark series by christine feehan that I have read , in fact I probably have read most of them, this series is similar I mooched this book off bookmooch, and have resent it to someone else already, I would have to say I like this series it reminds me of Nora Roberts Face the Fire series but this is a bunch of sisters with paranormal gifts and something dark trying to get them etc etc, nice for a rainy weekend a fast read with lots of steaminess, I liked this book better that the next one by far the lead male is *cough* Hot, a fantastical romance, not a bad couple hours read.

The star: Joley Drake was born with a legacy of unexpected magical gifts, but it was the gift of singing that made her an overnight sensation—a rock and roll goddess trapped by fame, fortune, and ambition. Heated by the flush of success, Joley could have any man she wanted. But there’s only man who can give her what she really needs.

The bodyguard: Ilya Prakenskii, cool, inscrutable, dangerously sexy, and working in the shadow of his infamous reputation—that of a secret Russian hit man on the payroll of a notorious mobster. He’s the last man Joley should get close to, yet when her life is threatened on tour she has nowhere left to turn. But in the seductive safe keep of Ilya’s embrace, is Joley really as secure as she imagines? ( )

This is the sixth in the Drake Sister's series. As with many of the other books in this series, there was a ton of great action and lots of interesting "magic", but also lots of over the top sex. The character were enjoyable but not very well developed and the bad guys were very stereotypical Feehan. It was a fun quick read and I'm sure I'll finish out the series with the seventh book when it's published. ( )

Joley Drake is a star, a musical genius, a pop icon, and of course, a witch. She's Brittany Spears, Madonna, Sting and Winnie the Witch all rolled up into one slightly less neurotic and drug addicted package. What she's addicted to instead is sexy, dangerous Russian bodyguard Ilya, who may or may not be a Russian mobster....

As fraught with intrigue, paparrazzi and psychotic stalker fans as a soap opera, Feehan's latest is pretty much a bubblegum read. Is Ilya actually a mob enforcer? Will Joley be left alone for life? Will Tish take Logan and the baby back? Who blew up the bus? Yadda, yadda, yadda. If you've read the rest, you'll probably want to see what the latest Drake sister is up to. ( )

Epigraph
"Turbulent Sea"

Darkness lives inside me
A secret that I hide
The light that comes from all the rest
Is lost upon the tides

A touch of lightning--magic
Has left me marked and cold
I want...I need...I crave for me
A love that sells my soul

Like a turbulent sea
Pulling at me
I'm drowning in passion and fear
With all that I am--or ever will be
I must fight for what I hold dear

And I fight
For what is right
But shadows follow...
Me into the night

I sing and I cry and I scream at the night
To change an unchangeable fate

The wave crashes
In my heart
Darkness follows
Light departs

Like a turbulent sea
Pulling at me
I'm drowning

-Sheila Clover English
