“ I know I'm dreadfully previous here, but I just finished Christine Feehan's The Twilight Before Christmas - book 2 in her enchanting Drake Sisters series. As you've probably already realized, I am a huge Feehan fan. I have read her entire Dark Carpathian series, and now am captivated by the Drake series.

The Twilight Before Christmas is the story of Kate Drake, the second eldest of the seven magical Drake sisters. Kate, an award winning novelist, has returned home to the ancestral Drake family home in Sea Haven just in time for the town's annual Christmas pageant. She's ready to settle down, and has bought an run-down mill, in hopes of renovating it into a combination bookstore and cafe.
Former Army Ranger Matt Granite (love the name btw!) has also returned home to Sea Haven, to work in his family's construction business. When he learns of the possibility of working close to Kate in renovating her mill, Matt jumps at the chance to spend time with the woman he's been in love with for years.
When an earthquake cracks the foundation of the mill revealing a burial crypt, a centuries-old evil is released - a force so malevolent and powerful that it will take the combined talents of all seven Drake sisters to defeat it.
The Twilight Before Christmas was truly delightful! I loved the characters of Kate and Matt and how they related to each other - they fit together so perfectly. The storyline was suspenseful, and the history of Christmas in Sea Haven and the elements of the supernatural weaved intricately together to build a beautiful story of love and forgiveness. The action throughout the book is well-developed and leaves the reader hanging on every page in anticipation of what's coming next. The fog that rolled in to Sea Haven masking a sinister and vindictive force was just plain eerie. Feehan's writing makes it possible for the reader to "feel" the tendrils of the fog wrapping around them.
I recommend The Twilight Before Christmas for anyone who enjoys well-written paranormal romance/suspense. I had a creepy-good time reading it, and I can't wait to pick up the next book in the series, Oceans of Fire”
