Book Reviews of Mind Game (GhostWalkers, Book 2)
Book Review: A Riveting Romantic, Paranormal, Suspense Thriller!!
Summary: 4 Stars
"Mind Game" is the second book in Christine Feehan's GhostWalkers series. This novel stands on its own, however, and it is not necessary to read the first book in order to appreciate this one. I think the plot and pacing are much better in "Mind Game" than in the former novel, however, and the characters are more fully developed.
A deceased scientist, Dr. Peter Whitney, had experimented on a group of gifted orphaned children decades before the story begins, in order to enhance their psychic abilities. While part of the experiment worked and the children's abilities were increased, the doctor was unable to control and utilize their talents. The children were all left psychologically deformed. They do not have the defenses, or shields, normal people do to protect themselves from sensory overload. This overload causes terrible headaches, inability to concentrate and sometimes severe seizures. When Whitney saw that his experiments were not proceeding in the direction he planned, he asked for military volunteers, disciplined officers from the special forces, and attempted the same experiments with the same results. These military psychics became known as GhostWalkers because they were eventually caged, no longer considered human, and were forced to escape and live in the shadows. Whitney's adopted daughter, Lily, one of the children used in the experiments, discovers her father's military victims. She moves them into a mansion which has been overhauled to provide the men with protective facilities, where they can live and train to immunize themselves against this sensory overload.
In Lily's search to find the children she grew up with, she discovers that one of her dearest friends, Dahlia LeBlanc, has been living a hermit's existence in a secluded residence in the Louisiana bayou country. Dahlia works for a US government intelligence agency, where she retrieves stolen, top secret technologies and information. She remembers very little of her childhood with Whitney and believes she is insane. Her government handlers, in order to control her for their own purposes, have told her that all her memories of former friends, like Lily, are products of her imagination. Dahlia has amazing telekinetic abilities which she is unable to control and can cause damage to other people if she becomes overly excited. Any strong emotion she feels turns into energy which causes fires. Unknown assassins attack her home while she is away and murder her nurse and caretaker - instead of their real target, Dahlia.
Lily Whitney sends GhostWalker Nicholas Trevane, a very strong silent type, to rescue Dahlia, and bring her back to be with the other GhostWalkers. Dahlia thinks she is the only one possessing paranormal gifts and doesn't realize what was done to her years before. Trevane walks into the attack on Dahlia's home and the failed attempt on her life. He becomes determined to find and destroy her assailants. Trevane almost kidnaps her when she does arrive and finds her companions dead. She agrees to go with him when he triggers her memory about Lily and briefly explains the situation. However, the danger is just beginning as violent death follows the two, who begin to form an extremely intense and unusual attachment.
This is a riveting story, a real suspense thriller, filled with romance and the paranormal. Very original and a terrific read!
