As far as I am aware no one is reading my how to write a novel, or more aptly how I finally finished a novel, barely, series of blogs. So since I have now read the first Sisters of the heart series by Christine Feehan three times I figured I'd write on that for a minute or two.
Water Bound flows up drowning you in fire with the first paragraph. Soon Christine Feehan's story soothes and cools you down, with rain, if you like the way she writes. The main female character has "Sensory problems," but courageously swims and dives and calls the water to live a life. Thanks to the women, her sisters, that she believes saved her, she lives the life she never thought she'd have. Saving a drowning man she connects with him and he with her.
I am deliberately avoiding using the characters names and being as vague as possible because any one reading this needs to read Christine Feehan's book. Yes, it is a paranormal romance, but it is also the story of second chances when a good decent life during the first chance wasn't even a choice, an option.
We need a cure for autism, but failing that we need to accept people as they are, not as we need or wish them to be.
The honesty in this book between a man who does not want to know himself or his memories and a woman who doesn't see herself clearly, although she views everyone else's image fairly well, when her eyes are focused memsermized me.
Obtaining this book was a bit of a farce. First on a lazy Sunday after a weird week, I am beginning to feel those are the only kind I am allowed anymore, I begged my husband to take me to get this book after wrongly reading that it had been released. I found out my error when my former boss at Waldenbooks told me the book was scheduled to come out at the end of JULY not the beginning. I went home a little to dejected considering. I mainly wanted to find out if I was right when weeks earlier I told another Feehan reader that I was pretty sure I knew the idenity of the main male character. I was right but I had to wait to discover that fact. I knew Feehan wouldn't let her Drake Sister fans down!
As it was I got Water Bound two days early, on Sunday July 25, instead of on Tuesday July 27! I didn't sleep that night. This story is one of her best, and so I no longer even care if I ever get to say I told you so to that other Feehan reader. I just hope she gets a chance to read the book. I am not lending out my copy!
I did let a friend borrow the first Drake Sister, Sarah, story and THE DARK PRINCE, the first Carpathian, so to speak.
I read Dark Destiny and that book will always be my favorite Feehan novel! I haven't purchased any of the GHOST WALKER novels, but I have read a few, borrowed from the library. Love JDL, our local library! Avid readers, especially the broke ones, in Jackson Michigan are grateful for our incredible library!!!
So I am all over the place, but I really enjoyed Water Bound. Another weird thing happened after reading it the first time. I awoke to the ceiling leaking in the bathroom and the kitchen. I did not call the water! The person two apartments above me flooded the empty apartment directly above me with an overflowing bathtub.
WATER BOUND is my second favorite Feehan novel. A cleansing shower after Turbluent Sea. Now I will read it for the fourth time!
