Here are my finds this week! (I am late posting because I got to go to an author talk today at our library - look for a post on it soon along with a signed giveaway and bag!)
The Twilight Before Christmas by Christine FeehanI had seen a book earlier this week - Fever by Christine Feehan and so when I saw this book at our library's used book store, I had to buy it. I discovered it was the second book in the Drake Sisters series - see below for entire list. It sounds like it will read well alone though. Has anybody read this series?
About the book: 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 the back cover)
