Publisher's Weekly Review
Brimming with exhilarating action sequences and sultry love scenes, Feehan's over-the-top paranormal romance, the newest in her Drake Sisters series (The Twilight Before Christmas, etc.), spotlights Abigail Drake, a witch who can communicate with dolphins. Set in quaint Sea Haven, Calif., the novel opens as Abigail, one of seven enigmatic sisters with magical powers, witnesses a brutal murder while swimming with her dolphins in Sea Haven harbor. In a scene that crackles with tension, Abigail swims to the rescue of a second man who, wounded, has fallen into the ocean-making her the target of the Russian killers and some hungry sharks. The brush with danger leads her back into the arms of sexy Interpol agent Aleksandr Volstov, who broke her heart four years earlier. Together, Aleksandr and Abigail engage in sensual foreplay as he searches for those responsible for his partner's murder and the culprits involved in a smuggling ring. Though the passion and intrigue can grow overheated, Feehan's well-crafted characters-like the sisters' quirky Aunt Carol, whose thirst for excitement and love of photography come together in the strangest moments-ground the tale and give it some much-needed levity.

Booklist Review
Best-selling Feehan's seven Drake sisters, appearing earlier in The Twilight before Christmas (2003), all with talents magical and otherwise, live together in Sea Haven. Abigail studies dolphins, and one evening she witnesses a shooting on a small boat. Unable to do anything for the Russian agent who has been killed, she rescues a local man who was also a victim. With the help of the dolphins and the added power of her sisters, she brings him to shore, where she finds Alexandr Volstov, the Interpol agent who once broke her heart. Like Feehan's Carpathian saga, the Drake series is a complex blend of fantasy and suspense with a substantial backstory. Readers unfamiliar with the Drake sisters will be left somewhat at sea trying to come up to speed on the sisters, their talents, their loves, and the intriguing setting. One delightful character who stands out from the rest is Aunt Carol, a professional scrapbooker and a feisty member of the Red Hat Society. --Diana Tixier Herald Copyright 2005 Booklist
