 Left a LOT to be desired August 1, 2008

I was a little disappointed. . .This story has been building and building with tension, background and unexplored passion. But we get to the story and I found our heroine to be a little whiny and the hero not sharing a darn thing. I was hoping for more background with his story but he choose not to share with her and told he b=never would. I felt the story revolved around the second characters more than the main, which was interesting but not what I expected or even wanted. For me the lowest rated book of the series, not up to my expectations.

OK, I have been so eager for this book I was counting down the seconds for a year to its release. On the one hand I loved it. The love scenes were smoking hot and exactly what I was hoping for for these two (hence the 4 stars). On the other hand--and this happened with Hannah in Safe Harbor as well--Joley's character development was somehow off. Suddenly the fun loving girl was not worthy and dark with her needs but it was a shallow portrayal of this emotion by Feehan. Furthermore, it never came to true satisfying resolution as it was never that well defined to start with. And Ilya who professed to not know anything about a relationship was the one that was having it fabulously! Something was very forced about Joley, even the first few pages sounded very cliche and incredibly cheesy until Ilya came into the book. So, while he was as hot as I hoped (the "mine" thing reminded me a bit of the Dark series), Joley was not at all as cool and interesting as she was in every other Drake book. Additionally, in other books the supporting sisters were more involved, in this one, and I was REALLY hoping for a great setup for Jackson and Elle, and I just didn't feel like I got it.
Follows the typical Feehan Formula. August 9, 2008

In Christine Feehan Drake Sisters series (book 6) was one I anxiously anticipated for obvious reasons. Chris Feehan writes some of the best, and most breathless love scenes around and Turbulent Sea follows that same formula. However, the one knock against this celebrated author is leaving a characters underdeveloped and that happens here (Just a little bit) The character Joley never seemed to reach her full potential and that led to the 4-star rating (of course, this does change when Ilya enters the story) So while the book does follow the typical Chris Feehan Formula, by book six the characters just fall a bit short.
Can't wait for Burning Wild by Christine Feehan to be released.
 The Best of the Drake Sisters books August 4, 2008

This one has it all. Great action, great romance, and great mystery. The action is fast and full of zest. The romance is hot and sweaty, and the mystery, which is one of Feehan's lesser abilities, is really good. I really enjoyed the book and I was glad it focused on two people and one good mystery. It did not jump around too much.
Joley is back on tour. She is still a bit worried about the reverend, RJ, but all in all the tour is going well. She is receiving hate mail and worries about a stalker. When the incidents start, Nikitin offers the services of Ilya Prakenskii. Joley is leery of her responses to Ilya and tries to keep him at a distance. But when real danger arrives she is glad to have him near.
Ilya is not what he seems. She already knows he has the gifts her family has and he has all of the gifts. He is not ready or willing to open his chamber of secrets to anyone. His life has been a very lonely one and he doesn't really know how to be with anyone. Never in his life has he even thought about a relationship. But Joley takes him apart, bit by bit, and he has found what completes him, he is not willing to let it go.
Someone seems to have it in for Joley, she can't figure why and can only think of a stalker. She has one man murdered, and he is the one she confronted about the underage girls, esspecially the one who is missing. Without her family she is closest to her band and instinctively turns to them for support during this period. However, when Ilya arrives, it is only in his presence she feels completely safe. Why, she can't figure out because she knows he is a cold blooded killer. But still he gives her a sense of safty she has only felt with her family.
I loved this book and I hope the next one will be as good.
Didn't feel like a Drake Sisters novel July 31, 2008

First, let me say that I bought this book hard copy because I couldn't wait for the Kindle version to come out. I wanted this book so badly. I feel in love with both Ilya and Joley in "Safe Harbor" Both Ilya and Joley had such chemistry in that book. Ilya especially was a forceful character even though Jonas was the main character of that story. However, in this story I found Ilya to be weaker in character. He didn't have that edge for me. He didn't command the same presence. Nor did Joley. Neither character seemed to come out in this book the same way they had in previous books. I also didn't get the same family feel in this book. If you were to read this book, without ever reading any previous book, you wouldn't know what a Drake sister was. All of her other books had a generous amount written about the realationships with each sister and each book used their powers much more. I loved the story, loved the love story between these two, but I really couldn't grasp it as a Drake sister book. A romance, yes, Drake Novel, no. Joley didn't even use her powers in this book. She didn't develop them as the others did in theirs. I'm disappointed in this book because it felt contrived. Re-read "Safe Harbor" and then "Turbulent Sea" and then decide. I hope Elle's and Jackson's story is written as well as "Safe Harbor".
