Christine Feehan

During the Christmas holiday we had dinner with some old friends of ours. She is a voracious reader, like me, and of course lying on her sofa was a copy of Christine Feehan's books, "Twilight Before Christmas." It was one I had not read so my friend gave it to me. We agreed to trade authors that we like so that when we are looking for a good book to sink into for a couple hours, we won't waste a lot of time buying a book that is full of nothingness.

Christine Feehan is absolutely one of my favorite authors. She writes a variety of stories from the paranormal to contemporary.

She writes in series which I love, such as The Dark Series. It features Carpathians, the good guys, who fight the vampires, the bad guys. It has a strong sense of honor and family as well as a lot of really hot sex. If you have an aversion to sex, don't read them.

Another series is the Ghostwalkers. As Christine says they are "action/thriller series grounded in science with heavy paranormal elements". And the heroes and heroines each meet a need within each other to make them the perfect couple. Not as much hot and steamy breathing as the Dark Series, but still an excellent read.

Another series is the Drake Sisters. They are modern day witches with unusual talents that are used to help the people of the town in which they live. Enjoyable reading material suitable for most people.

I enjoy each and every book written by Christine Feehan. She does a great deal of research and shares it with the reader on her website. If you do read one of her books, let me know which one and why you did or did not like it.
