Week 29 Reviews: The Twilight Before Christmas, Oceans of Fire

From Goodreads:
Seven sisters...and a legacy of magical secrets.

Bestselling novelist Kate Drake is one of seven sisters gifted with amazing powers of witchcraft. Returning home in time for her northern California town's annual Christmas pageant, Kate catches the spirit of the season and decides to open a bookstore in a charming but run-down historic mill. Decorated former U.S. Army Ranger Matt Granite, now a local contractor, doesn't mind working in the undeniably eerie house -- not if it means getting closer to Kate. There's something about the quiet, sensual woman that powerfully attracts him. 

When an earthquake cracks the mill's foundation and reveals a burial crypt, Kate senses that a centuries-old evil has been unleashed and that it's coming after her. Though Matt vows to guard her from dusk till dawn, Kate knows she will have to summon all of her and her sisters' powers to battle the darkness threatening to destroy both Christmas and the gift of soul-searing passion her hometown hero wants her to keep forever...

From Goodreads:
Called "the reigning queen of paranormal romance" by Publishers Weekly, New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan offers an imaginative blend of sensual romance, fast-paced adventure and the paranormal that has thrilled countless readers. Now, she tells the story of Abigail Drake, of the magical Drake sisters — seven elementally gifted sisters, and their prophecy of love…

As the third daughter in a magical bloodline, Abigail Drake was born with a mystical affinity for water, and possessed a particularly strong bond with dolphins. She spent her entire life studying them, learning from them, and swimming among them in the waters off her hometown of Sea Haven … Until the day Abby witnessed a cold-blooded murder on shore, and found herself fleeing for her life — right into the arms of Aleksandr Volstov. He's an Interpol agent on the trail of stolen Russian antiquities, a relentless man who gets what he goes after — and the man who broke Abby's heart. But he isn't going to let the only woman he ever loved be placed in harm's way — or slip away from his embrace…

My first review of The Twilight Before Christmas, Oceans of Fire
My Review:
Oh, what wonderful books! I loved watching Kate and Matt fall in love, Abby and Aleksandr fall in love, because they are meant to be together, and after the ribbing that they gave Sarah about the prophecy, well, now they're getting their turns now, and then everybody else will!

I loved their romance, both of them, how they were their own people, but they were just so close to each of their series, whichever one they were interacting with! They were just really close, and I really enjoyed all of that!

Loved the mysteries, too, of who was doing things, and why, and, and yeah, they did some pretty horrible things, but they are the bad guys, and bad guys do things to hurt other people, because they can, sometimes, and that's a simple, but hard, truth.

I loved how they helped people, they were close to the whole town, and they had their jokes and their inside things that only a close community can have, people that know and care for one another, something that I picked up on right away from the first book!

Loved these books so much, and I can't wait to read more!
