Shy Hannah Drake loves Sheriff Jonas Harrington, but their relationship unravels when a violent attack leaves Hannah reeling emotionally. Alyssa Bresnahan portrays Hannah’s struggle to heal in the shadow of her six paranormally gifted sisters. Bresnahan deftly conveys a wide range of emotions, and the intensity in her narration propels the story forward. Even when the seven sisters are conversing, Bresnahan fluidly differentiates each sister for listeners. Her male voices may be even better: The Russian characters are particularly striking. Romance listeners are fortunate to have Bresnahan steering them through this popular series. C.A. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine

Feehan kicks off episode five of her popular Drake Sisters series-concerning a septet of paranormally gifted sibs-with everything her fans have come to expect: action, gunplay, danger, bad guys, good guys, gorgeous women and magic. All that's missing are her spicy love scenes; those come later, and their promise is enough to keep pages turning. On top of that promise, however, is the intriguing mystery of the supermodel slasher, who attacks shy-but-smoldering Hannah, one of the sisters, at New York's annual Fashion Week. Hunky Sheriff Jonas Harrington, a longtime family friend, is fresh from a life-threatening encounter with the Russian mob when he witnesses, on live TV, Hannah getting cut down by a madman with a knife. After the sisters rush to her side, saving her with their combined powers, Jonas vows to hunt down the assailant-but his unrequited love for Hannah complicates matters. This winning series entry is sure to please devotees and shouldn't provide much difficulty for curious newbies. (July)
