Predatory Game (Ghostwalker Novel Book 6)

Another wonderful story about the Ghost Walkers. A few days before this book was released I re-read Shadow Game, Lily and Ry's story. I had fogotten how technical that book was and at times difficult to keep up with. This newest release had just enought technical information to keep it fun, intriguing and I wanted more. I found both Saber and Jess interesting and likeable. I highly recommend the entire series. Christine Feehan is a terrific story teller. If you haven't read her other book, find them.

Christine Feehan does it again with a riviting installment of the GhostWalker series. She has the knack of making these ultimate soldiers accesible and very likable. I can not wait for the next installment.

I would say these Ghostwalker stories by Chistine Feehan are getting better and better, especially the last three. I really enjoyed this book and found the h/h very interesting, especially Saber. I loved Jess' reaction to her personality traits and his loyalty to her. I also found his courage and strength to be amazing and uplifting considering the personal issues he was constantly having to deal with. Highly highly recommended. Kudos Ms. Feehan. Another winner.

Jess and Sabor are quite the couple. There is just enough twist and turns to keep up the suspense. I love the way Christine Feehan, clears some supects, while pointing us in a new direction. Very skillfully done. I can't wait until number 7 hits the book stores.

Another favorite of the Ghostwalker books for me, right up there with Night Game and Murder Game, which I just finished reading and am currently writing a review for.

It’s actually really refreshing seeing a couple that already know each other and have established a relationship, even if they don’t really know what the other really is. I’ll get another taste of a couple already knowing each other in Street Game, which I just started reading.

This team doesn’t really seem to be as interactive with each other as Ryland’s team is. In those first three books they were pretty much there all the time, in this one, eh not so much.

I really enjoyed seeing Jesse and Saber together, especially after what happened to him in Mind Game and even though he didn’t say her name, I loved that he referenced Dahlia, especially when trying to convince Saber to give their relationship a chance. I loved seeing their interactions, feeling that connection they have, making each other laugh even when they suspected each other of betraying them.

Honestly, it was just cute, especially the nicknames they have for one another. Angel face and dragon king, I just couldn’t help but smile each time those came up.

I feel like this was a fitting story for Jesse, the romance felt like it was right on track and even though the plot was a little slow in picking up, it wasn’t bad. I was never bored with it, I didn’t want to put it down.

I did like the fact that in the major plot of the story, the author lets the readers into the head of the main antagonist, gave it a little bit of a psychological aspect, though Murder Game has that in abundance.

A little side note, I think it would be really great is his sister getting a book and if you read this story, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about, but I don’t see that happening, at least not in the foreseeable future.

A little action-packed but not nearly as much as Deadly Game, this couple actually got to spend quite a bit of time together.

The writing for the action seemed a little rushed but as I said, the romance seemed spot on for what was going on.

Another hit for the Ghostwalker series! Predatory Game was flippin awesome. The series just keeps getting better and better. Although I will say that as the series goes on it does seem to be getting darker as well.

What this book is about
Jesse and Saber have been living together for almost a year now, ever since Jesse took her in. Jesse knows Saber is running from something, but he doesn't know what. Jesse and Saber are best friends. Jesse and Saber are in love with each other and hiding it from the other. Jesse and Saber are also both Ghostwalkers and hiding it from each other. What will happen when the truth comes to light and the past catches up with them?

Jesse who we first meet in the 2nd book, is in a wheelchair. That isn't going to stop Jesse. He is a fighter and he is determined to walk again. He is very level headed. If him and Saber fight he doesn't go all caveman. He gives them time to cool off and listens to how she feels, but if Jesse wants something he goes after it like a shark. Jesse is super loyal. Loyal to his country, family, Ghostwalker team, and Saber. He is highly intelligent, but still kicks totals butt even in a wheelchair!
My heart bled for Saber. I felt very connected to her. I understand her fear. She has had one of the hardest lives except for maybe flame. Even with everything she has lived through she still has dreams. She stands up for what she believes in and she tries to find happiness where she can. She is playful and sweet. She doesn't like hurting people, but if anyone tries to hurt the people she loves(Jesse and his sister) She will take them out!
Jess and Saber have a very sweet romance because they have been best friends for months. They know each other so well already that there is a close intimacy to their relationship and a playfulness that is cute. They also have this pent up passion that explodes when they come together!! I love them together. Someone has a baby in this book. There are bad guys coming out of the woodworks in this book. This book I feel is a turning point in the story plot, and things are really starting to heat up. They are all kinda going underground now because they don't know who is friend or foe, and they have people coming at them from every side. I can't wait to see what happens next.

I won't write a synopsis of the book, as several reviewers have done that already. I'll just give my thoughts and opinions about the book itself.

On the one hand, Predatory Game was a satisfying, steamy romance read. The personal interactions and relationship between the hero, Jess Calhoun, and the heroine, Saber Wynter, sizzled right off the page. I could definitely tell there was a huge attraction between the lead characters. The personal relationship was explored from both character's perspectives, in particular, I really enjoyed reading about the hero. Despite the hero's handicap, he was uber-yummy and Christine Feehan is on the top of her game when it comes to wonderful heroes with those alpha qualities such as possessiveness and wanting to protect his heroine. I, like the heroine in the story, didn't see the handicap and I felt it added to the personality of the hero and made him that much stronger as a character.

But, despite that, I felt the plot of the story was weak. It was hard to see there was such a menace and threat to Saber and Jess from the bad guys. The villain watching and stalking Saber, and the mysterious "someone(s)" that want Jess and what he's involved with in the GhostWalkers, just didn't come across as serious or real. For instance, I couldn't see how the mad doc Whitney's henchmen following Saber could be anything other than something to roll your eyes at. He didn't come across as someone who could harm Saber because he didn't really do anything in the story, so I'm not sure what his purpose was. It was all very vague and I got the sense that it was just added to the story-line to give some sort of tension and suspense, but it was lacking and seemed an afterthought by the author. I think the author could have gone further into detail into the bad guys' motives and goals.

Anyways, this is the 6th book in the GhostWalkers series and you don't need to read the prior books to read this one, although a few characters from previous books make cameo appearances in Predatory Game. This book would have gotten 2 stars for the weak plot and villains, but I enjoyed reading about the relationship between Jess and Saber and really enjoyed Jess as the hero, so I bumped up the rating to 3 stars. Predatory Game has the steamy scenes and wonderful heroes that Feehan is known for, but as for furthering the plot and story-arc of the series as a whole, it disappointed.

"Predatory Game" is book 6 in Christine Feehan's Ghostwalker series. And here we continue with our trend of Ghostwalker SEALs with Jesse Calhoun. You may remember Jesse as Dahlia's NCIS handler in "Mind Game (GhostWalkers, Book 2)." He was beaten within an inch of his life, trying to protect his team-mate, and his legs were destroyed below the knee. Since we saw him last, it's been mentioned that he is back to working with his old team, but is doing so from a wheelchair.

Jesse is living in Wyoming. Though he still consults with the Ghostwalkers (physically and psychically enhanced soldiers), he is now also a songwriter and owns a radio station. Living in his home, is the mysterious Saber Wynter. Saber works as a DJ at Jesse's radio station. And since she began renting a room in his home nearly a year ago, they have become very close friends. Actually, both have feelings beyond friendship, but they have never acted on those feelings. Each is trying to hide the fact that s/he is enhanced. Saber was also part of the Ghostwalker project; only she had been taken as a young child by mad-scientist Peter Whitney and trained as an assassin. She made her first kill at age 9. But she escaped last year and is now in hiding.

Now Saber is being stalked. The man works for Whitney but has gone off the deep-end. He's obsessed with Saber and wants her for his own. Jesse and Saber continue to grow closer and eventually reveal themselves to each other. They realize that Dr Whitney wants them to get together, to create a super-baby who has powers from both parents. While their relationship develops and they fight the growing danger to Saber, they must also contend with Jesse's disability and bionics he is trying to master, so that he can walk again.

I really enjoyed this one. (I have a soft spot for the SEAL guys, it seems.) The book is different in that our couple actually had a chance to get to know each other and develop believable feelings --as opposed to previous books where the couples were "in love" in a matter of days. Saber is undoubtably the most lethal Ghostwalker yet, but she is understandably vulnerable after all she has endured. Meanwhile, Jesse is strong emotionally, while he struggles with the limitations his body is dealing with. The love scenes are solid, though not quite as super-hot as in the last two books.

A solid contribution to the series. 4 stars.

Jesse Calhoun returns in his own story, In a wheelchair from his injuries received in Mind Game he has taken Saber Winter into his home and heart, When a stalker grow ever closer and danger creeps into their lives. Winter and Jesse find they have both been holding shocking secrets, Trust is hard to come by on either side. Soon it is a fight for survival as the stalker and hidden secrets come out.

This is another story in the GhostWalker series by Christine Feehan. The GhostWalkers are a group of enhanced humans who have special talents including psychic abilities and extra physical strength. They are battling against the rogue creator of the GhostWalkers, Dr Whitney, and uncovering more complex intrigues as the series progresses.

Jess Calhoun is a GhostWalker, an ex-Navy SEAL who was seriously injured previously and is now in a wheelchair having lost the use of his legs. However Dr Lily Whitney-Russell has been carrying out some new medical treatments to try to regain the use of his legs although the experiments haven't yet worked. Jess has had a housemate for several months, Saber Wynter, who appears to be hiding from an abusive husband and who keeps herself to herself.

As the story begins Saber, living with Jess, feels that the time is approaching that she should move on. She's been running and hiding from Dr Whitney, creator of the GhostWalkers, for a long time. However she's not sure she can leave Jess, a man to whom she feels attracted. When they discover that they are each GhostWalkers their newfound close friendship is sorely tested. Each finds it hard to trust the other as they could be bent on betrayal. Saber's psychic powers enable her to be a silent assassin and her fear of Whitney and the other GhostWalkers means she wants to escape - but Jess won't let her. Particularly when it becomes clear Saber has a stalker who will stop at nothing to get at her.

Although this book refers occasionally to events in other of the GhostWalker books it's possible to read this one without knowing the other plots and to understand what's going on. However the complexity of the underlying plotlines of Dr Whitney and who is good and who is bad feels rather muddled in this story with Whitney seeming almost godlike in his power. Saber was a difficult character to like, mainly because she spends so much time trying to run away. I was also very unsure of her age which made some of the romantic elements a little uncomfortable; she tells someone that she's fourteen, she's known to change her appearance to make her look older, and she's continually described as slender, small, tiny etc. Jess appears to be the traditional fiction Navy SEAL type, obsessed with patriotism and honour and yet also having a soft centre.

This was a reasonable read but there were some slow patches, the coincidences or engineered sections of the plot were sometimes difficult to take in and there were many aspects of the plot left open-ended, for example whether the feelings between Jess and Saber were caused by the pheromones that Dr Whitney apparently introduced. The action parts were well written and interactions between characters were good in places but overall it wasn't an entirely satisfying read.

Just finished this book last weekend. I'm curious to see Christine Feehan wandering away from the male characters she established in "Night Game", "Shadow Game", and "Mind Game" to instead explore men from the second Ghostwalker team discovered, like the Norton brothers and Jess. Against the Norton brothers, Jess isn't as sexy at first. But he does build up a lot of steam as the characters develop.

Jess is a crippled Ghostwalker male who still manages to be menacing to enemies and powerful during sex. The banter between Jess and Saber is little petulant on Saber's part, but I didn't find it annoying like one of the reviewers. Jess is the frustrated male who's hiding his attraction as best he can because he's afraid of scaring her off, or that she won't want him.

Neither of their Ghostwalker skills are revealed until far into the book. I began to wonder if either of them had any. I did want Jess to be a lot more badass than she started out to be, and she developed nicely into a strong female character who has a very deadly Ghostwalker power. A power Jess helps her to realize can be used for good as well.

The evil doctor still lingers around the edges of the story. We see Lily and Ryland, the Norton brothers and their wives, but the story is really about Jess and Saber's romance and the trust they find in each other. All in all, it was a good read and had a satisfying end.

I haven't finished this book yet but I am far enough along to know this book is a 5. The problem with this book is that it follows the Norton brothers' books and those are possibly some of the best books I have ever read. If possible, they would certainly get higher than 5 stars. However, this book is excellent and I am enjoying it very much. Poor Saber though. She is a sad heroine and I feel for her every time I pick this book up. I have found with the Ghostwalker series that I have to actually put the book down so I don't read it too fast and miss something. They are all that good. Read them in order to get the full effect. I will be sorry when this series ends.

Christine Feehan got back on track with this book. I felt the two Norton twin books were boring and predictable. I enjoyed Jesse's book. I felt it got the series back on track and moving forward. I liked how we found out more about Dr. Whitney's experiments on the men and how the government is playing into creating a supersoldier. I found the mystery a little more interesting in this since they use non-GhostWalkers to get close. I really liked the interaction between the two main characters. I felt that they bonded and connected better than most of the recent leads in the series. Of course it helped that Ms. Feehan hadn't just thrown them together but that they had known each other for about a year so there really was chemistry there. The updates on past characters fell into the flow with the story. I don't like how they are all looking to move to the same place in the mountains, but I'm sure Ms. Feehan will make it interesting. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick interesting read into paranormal romance.

I loved this installment in the Ghostwalker series.

I adored Jesse and Saber both individually and as a couple. Jesse was sweet but was also fiercely protective and lethal. Saber was the kind of heroine I really like. Strong yet not afraid to show vulnerability. Her playful bantering with Jesse was amusing and they had loads of chemistry.

Jesse/Saber already being friends added authenticity to their love story. They didn't automatically give in to their physical attraction until they got to know each other and fall in love. The interactions with the other Ghostwalkers and the inclusion of Patsy and Brian added to the story.

I loved that the book built up to the action. The start was great in getting to see into Jesse/Saber's life and then once everything was laid in the open and the action hit, it was a non-stop thrill ride from there. Of course as expected from a Christine book there was also plenty of sensual and hot moments.

For action, romance, friendship, suspense, humour, likeable characters and a couple with fantastic chemistry, you can't go wrong with Predatory Game.

Predatory Game feels more like a romantic suspense novel than the previous books in Feehan's Ghostwalker books. While many of the fomulaic elements of the series are present here, there is less of some of the elements that we have come to expect from the series -- a few of which I missed and few of those omissions that were a big plus.

Saber Wynter, who has the psychic power of generating electric impulses has been trained to kill with a touch and without a trace, is an escapee from the same Dr Whitney experiment as all the rest of Feehan's Ghostwalker heriones and Saber has suffered the same brutal lab rat childhood. As Saber runs, trying to stay one step ahead of Whitney's goons, she ends up finding sanctuary with Jess Calhoun the wounded ex-SEAL ghostwalker who is bound to a wheelchair as a result of capture and torture in one of the previous books. For almost a year neither of the two is aware that the other is Ghostwalker. Since we are aware of the pheromone attraction that Whitney has installed in many of the previous Ghostwalker pairs, it is not a surprise that Jess and Saber are drawn to each other. But even as Jess and Saber each finally begin to realize that they are not alone in the attraction they have hidden from each other, Saber and Jess discover each other's secrets and both fight to overcome suspicion and to keep trusting the feelings that have been growing between them. Intellectually Jess knows it is very likely that Saber has been sent to betray his secret search for the person who is out to destroy all the GhostWalkers, but he can't ignore that his gut tells him that Saber is really the battered woman that he has come love and that he just can't lose her. And while Saber fears that Jess is part of a trap to return her to Whitney's clutches, she can't help being torn between self-preservation -- her instincts are screaming that she should escape -- and the realization that even with all her special powers she may not be strong enough to run from the only person who has even shown her love.

In Predatory Game there is less of the paranormal special ops mission and conspiracy story lines than in the previous books, instead there is more of a romantic suspense feel due to the focus on a deranged preverted hunter that has decided to add his own 'personal' twist to Saber's capture. Still even with that difference, it is really the leads Jess and Saber and the uniqueness of their relationship that keeps Predatory Game from being a cookie cutter Ghostwalker romance. Unlike many of the previous Ghostwalker pairs, Jess and Saber's romance isn't just driven by the pheromone attraction, they actually have a relationship that is not merely physical -- Jess has been developing Saber's trust through playful teasing and joking and Jess finally wins Saber's love by first being her friend. Also in Predatory Game, Feehan holds off on the consumation part of Jess and Saber's relationship until more than halfway through the book. Though this means that there is less sex than many of the other books, this is not a negative since Feehan can get a bit repetious when the couples hook up early in the story, in this case this delay really makes it feel like Jess and Saber have actually chosen each other rather than just being unable to deny a 'programmed response' to each other. Also Feehan mostly avoids the domineering macho stuff with Jess that is typical of both her Ghostwalkers and her Carpathians -- on the whole Jess is careful not to push Saber in order to keep from breaking the fragile bond that is forming between them and avoid triggering her need to flee.

Even though I think that Jess and Saber's relationship is one of the better done ones in the series, there is something missing from Predatory Game that I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe it's that I that I like seeing the Ghostwalker teams in action out on special ops missions and as loner assassin Saber takes care of things herself or that the book doesn't really carry the overall series arc forward. I don't know but that sense of something missing makes this a 4 star read for me.

Saber has escaped from Whitney. She got a job at the radio station and an apartment at Jesse's house. Then she got a stalker and men trying to kill her and Jesse. They have quite a few battles and lose their home, but they find love.

I have read all the ghostwalker books in order. The series began strong and tight. It seems to be unralveling as it goes. Several of the plot points set up earlier and not being used or are changed significantly. This is leading to discordance in the story line.

An example is Whitney. He was set up in the first book as a man of brain instead of heart. His intellect dictated that he use people as lab rats. The manipulation was to be for state defense. Unfortunately, power leads to more power and ultimately corrects. Whitney was corupted, but killed when he wa no longer useful. Now in the series of books that come afterward, Whitney is alive andhas grown to be some all seeing, all knowing person - a puppet master. Whitney is neccessary as a reason for all the genetic enhancements.

The reasons for all the different factions is just not understandable. The series would have been better just following the original premise of Whitney being dead and the ghostwalkers saving others from the program and from people who would like to use them.

I got the feeling in this book at Mr. Feehan needs to take a vacaton. She usually writes better than this. Working on so many idfferent series may not be so good either.

I have to say I was a little nervous when I first started reading this book. I have been a huge feehan fan for over 2 years and now that im caught up in all her series I really anticipate each book that gets release. So i was really hoping this one would live up to expectations. It started out slow, and at times I really almost forgot it was a book about the ghostwalkers, but stick with it bc about a third of the way through the book it really picks up and feehan is back. What I love about this book as well as most of her other books is that she is a master at keeping the main couple the focus while doing a great job of incorporating secondary characters so that you can get to know them as well. No other author Ive read does a better job and it makes her books a great read. Im always sad when i finish one and cant wait for the next to come out. I definitely recommend this book!!

This was a good addition to the series. It is listed as a paranormal romance, but there is much more to it than that - action, medical break through s, mystery. I think this would be a good book for someone who usually doesn't read paranormal books but likes romance. The paranormal part involves enhanced humans as part of an experiment looking to create perfect warriors. The enhancements are different for each one. The group is an outlaw group of good guys who are trying to evade being caught by the scientist who created them. Personally I'm not enamored of the romance part particularly and skim a lot of that, but I enjoy the action/thriller sci/fi medical part.

This 6th book in the "Game" series of Ghostwalkers, starts right out with an exciting prologue that has a mystery man who loves the voice of the radio DJ "Night Siren". In fact this person is obsessed by her. The reader finds out that this man has worked for the infamous Dr. Whitney who created the Ghostwalkers and ran horrifying experiments on them and on groups of young girls that he took from orphanages and trained until adults. This man sees himself as the "guardian" of humans and is unafraid of the "mutants" or Ghostwalkers.

Saber Wynter turns to look at Larry Edwards, her date for the night, and is incredulous that after three dates and "$150", Larry says she has to sleep with him! In fact he says Saber "owes" him or he will dump her out of his car in the rather lowlife neighborhood they are in. Saber saves him the trouble and gets out and tells Larry off. She is not afraid of where she is as she knows she can defend herself although she hopes she won't have to. She finds a public phone as she doesn't carry a cell and calls her boss, Jess Calhoun. Jess is half-owner of the radio station she works for and she also has a room at his large home in exchange for cooking, shopping, and light housekeeping. She knows he is an ex-Navy SEAL and that although he is currently wheelchair bound, Jess is very self-sufficient, which suits Saber's lifestyle just fine. Saber has lived the last few years going from place to place, never making friends and always moving on if she feels too comfortable.

Jess senses that Saber although diminutive can handle herself and as she is very secretive about her past that she has some secrets. He does too but he enjoys her humor and her ability to handle his handicap without every drawing attention to it.

However, danger is stalking them and as they face it and learn more about each other they face love, confrontation, joint enemies and lies.

Very exciting story that adds and concludes to the "Game" series!

This sixth installment of the Ghostwalker series is a good story. I enjoyed it and will probably re-read it at some point. Unfortunately it was still a bit of a dissappointment.

Previous books in the series have been real page-turners for me. They are the kids of books you can't put down and spend all night reading. I had no trouble putting a bookmark in this one and saving it for later.

It was more angst than action, the tension between characters was lacking and the storyline fo the Ghostwalkers really wasn't advanced by this installment. Story-building information seemed to be slipped in at too-handy times and the usual "match" between Ghostwalker counterparts seemed to be more talk than actual bonding.

While this is still a very ejoyable read, don't expect the intensity and page-turning action and romantic tension of Feehan's previous Ghostwalker books.

I gave this novel 5stars because as with the prior novels in this series, I couldn't put it down. Feehan never ceases to deliver on amazing stories & creative ideas with characters that aren't predictable but are lovable, dangerous, protective. I for one can't help but root for them.

This book was a major disappointment! There was absolutely no chemistry between main characters. The book starts out with them already having been together and already attracted to each other (but hiding it, of course.) so there is no build-up and no real conflict there. Jesse is too lukewarm of a leading man for my tastes. (I loved the Norton twins and Niko.) He just lacked the intensity of some of the others. I didn't buy that he was some bad-*** military tactician. I found the dialougue between the main characters silly and boring. (Much like the Drake Sisters Series, which I hate!)

And then there's the fact that this book did not forward the story-line of this series at all! She went off on a completely different tangent. All-in-all, if you skipped this one, you could pick-up the next one and never even know the difference. I know because I've already read the next one!

This is book 6 and I'm still enjoying the Ghostwalker series. At about this point in Ms. Freehan's Carpathian series, I realized I was tired of reading the same story with a new title about the same characters with new names; although, I think I read about 10 or so before I quit buying them. Another reviewer felt this series was getting repetitive back in book 5. If I begin feeling that, I will drop this series,too; but so far that hasn't happened for me. I found Jess Calhoun and Saber Wynter as interesting as the Norton Twins and their twin heroines. I'll be there for book 7.

I Loved Predatory Game--Loved Jess Calhoun--EX NAVY SEAL--hot as HELL--so what if he's in a wheelchair--everything from his knees up works so fine!!! Sigh! This was really good--a little mix From X-Men--without going really strange.....typical government stuff--they talk the soldiers into it, then bail on them after they are no longer needed--in this case a fraction of the government wants to see these guy die--probably to cover their own tracks.
I plan to get all six of the other books..will start with the first one...if it is as good as this one was I'll move on to the next one. I especially like how Feehan grew out the relationship--you really got to know Saber and Jess and really care about them. When they finally DID have sex--it was the right time, the right amount and help move the story along....
This series is much better than her Vampire series....I only read two of those and stopped. Her men were so dominant it totally turned me off. Jess isn't dominant--only protective and he genuinely cares about how Saber feels!

This novel is great. I can feel the love between the main characters, Saber Wynter and Jess Calhoun. I did not read the previous installments, and although I am usually very meticulous about reading a series in order, I decided I would take the plunge. I generally like Feehan's novels, and this one did not disappoint. The characters are complex, the gadgets are high-tech, the plot is weaved with mystery and danger, and the erotic scenes are filled with passion and true love. This is a winner for me.

When I started the ghostwalker series I was hopeful. As the books progressed they became redundant, then they picked up and became interesting again and finally sank back to redundant. UNTIL this one. This was a convoluted, disorganized, conspiracy theory happy mess. For a supposed black ops group they are not unique as more and more of the different groups show up and EVERYONE seems to know about them. The group is not plagued by one arch-foe but a series of them and it is getting old. Every book adds more and more groups out to get the original groups and it is getting tedious. These characters were not well developed and some things left dangling like the ghostwalker Brian. This was not a satisfying read.

I am such a big fan of Christine Feehan's vampire-paranormal and Ghostwalker supersoldiers novels, but this latest book is such a total darn great let-down!! I liked majority of the previous Ghostwalker novels; that's why I can't put into words my deep disappointment about this "Predatory Game" novel. Even though I'm only half way through I can't find the motivation to finish it. The storyline and so-called hot (more lukewarm!) romance are painfully slow and boring, and the so-called villians are very laughable. There is no suspense or thrills like Feehans previous books. If you haven't bought the book, don't waste your money or time!

I've been a Feehan fan since the beginning of the Carpathian series and avidly followed her "Game" series, which up until now was mostly really good. Predatory Game was a big disappointment. Try as I might, I just never could like Saber, and with Jesse in the wheelchair, it just took a lot away for me in the romance department. I work in the medical field and read books to escape reality, and part of that is the fantasy aspect of a male hero and heroine who have no physical deficits. It just seemed like it should have been a storyline for a different type of book -- definitely a worthy topic -- but not from an author who usually gives us superhuman fantasy figures -- which is part of the reason we read her books.

Another romance stealer was the fact that Saber kept being eluded to as so tiny, so innocent, so young looking (14 years old?!!!)-- that made me feel like Jess was a big perv! Distasteful.

With that said, I'm still a Feehan fan and am hoping for more of her usual in the future!

I THINK THE CHEMISTRY WITH JESSE AND SABER WAS SO BEAUTIFUL FROM FRIEND TO LOVER IT ALWAYS BEING ONE OF MY FAVORITE ROMANCE STORY. SHE WAS SO PROTECTIVE OF HIM AND HIM OF HER I LOVE THAT HE HAS A FAMILY, NOT LIKE THE OTHER FULL OF DEAD AND BAD PAST I LOVE JESSE HE SOUND SO SEXY AND DAMN CHRISTINE FEEHAN SHE NEED TO GET ME ONE OF HER HEROE THE RISK EVERYTHING TO THE WOMAN THAT THEY LOVE. MY FAV THE OTHER WERE GOOD DONT GET ME WRONG BUT NOT LIKE THIS ONE LET SEE CUZ I AM GOING TO START MURDER GAME TONIGHT...

Most importantly I thought the romance was way more believable than some of Feehan's previous novels. Normally she throws a couple together and it is love at first sight, touch, smell, etc. These two characters have been knowing each other, working together, were friends for almost a year. It made their relationship much more understandable and deeper. The action in the book was great and the characters had more depth to them. I would recommend this one.

Christine Feehan blend of supernatural and romance is just wonderful. I have to say I enjoyed this book immensely. To me, this is 50 shades of better, great story lines that never disappoint. Action packed but still has the feminine romance story lines too. My opinion, the Ghostwalker books are no doubt the best books I've ever read.

The wait seemed extra long but I enjoyed the book when it finally arrived. However, in writing her next one I hope she collects herself and returns to the format in previous books. This is a great series and so much potential, I hope it does not get predictible like her Carpathian series. I dont read the Drake series for the same reason but I continue to read this one and I know there is still alot of potential.

Does Ms. Feehan not want to take the time to really develop new characters? I'm going to quit buying her books. I don't need to, they're all the same. Not only do the characters all act the same and basically look the same (anyone else tired of impossibly tiny women that are ridiculoulsy beautiful and sickenly sweet?), but they all even say the same lines! All the heros have daddy complexes. Every Ghostwalker book has the hero threatening to spank the herione. Really? I gave this book 2 stars instead of 1 because the story was okay the first time I read it. I used to be such an avid Christine Feehan fan. I even own all of her books, but I'm not buying anymore until her characters grow up and develop personalities of their own.

There is a paper-thin plot, very little action, and repetitive scenes that add nothing but length to this book. This is so very boring. After reading the same thing about the heroine sliding across the hero's lap and causing a hard on several dozen times, I realize this book isn't going to get better. I'm an avid reader, and this is the first book of Feehan's I've picked up. It will be my last. I am half-way through the book and have been waiting for something interesting to happen. It's time to quit wasting my time and pick up a well-written book. This one isn't. Don't bother with it.

usually love Feehan's books but a little dissapointed with this one. Basically none of the characters are very well defined or developed. It is just a story without the usual depth which draws you into the ghost walker world.

If you have read the others in this series, you may enjoy this. It really is not enjoyable if you are not familiar with the Ghostwalker series. I found it a little repetitive and not as entertaining.

I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE SERIES..ALTHOUGH I DONT CARE FOR THE BRILLIANT, CRAZED SCIENTIST MR. WHITNEY...HE MATCHED SABER AND JESS UP PERFECTLY!
JESS MAY HAVE BEEN IN A WHEELCHAIR, BUT HE WAS FAR FROM HANDICAP AND SABER DEFINITELY LEARNED THAT IN THE END..
SABER HAS NEVER BEEN ONE FOR TRUSTING, BUT I BELIEVE SHE WILL FIT RIGHT INTO THE FAMILY OF THE SANE GHOSTWALKERS PERFECTLY!
THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL READ MS. FEEHAN!

I love Christine Feehan. All of her books are interesting, and keep you wanting to read straight though. I have read so many of hers. One of my favorite authors.Try her sometime. Pluto "Book Hound"

I have read all of Christine's books and am disappointed in this latest effort. The lead character Saber is portrayed as a jealous little girl rather than a woman who is trying to find her inner strength. The lead male comes across as a patronizing older man who wants to take over a girl's life instead of a man who wants to help his partner stand tall for herself. The bantering between them is childish instead of funny. The storyline is choppy without a clear theme. It never pulled everything together. The book never grabs you and dares you to try and put it down.

I love all of Feehan's series, but this book just didn't do it for me. I found it boring and poorly put together. The plot just didn't make sense and there was barely any excitement. Hope the next one is better.

I am a huge fan of Christine Feehan, but this book was a major disappointment. I'm only half way thru, but cannot find any reason to pick the book up and finish it. The romance made me yawn, the storyline is slow and boring. I'd say, don't bother with this one.

Feehan does it again. I loved this couple- and of course the GhostWalkers!
My only complaint is the books don't come quick enough! Can't wait for the next installment. Would love to see Patsy get her own storyline.

I Love Christine Feehan's Game Series Books!... I really do, I have read them all. They are fun, romantic and interesting. A little mix of the super-natural, drama, excitment and love... give it a try, I think you will enjoy!
