Book Reviews of Night Game (GhostWalkers, Book 3)
Book Review: unexpected theories and playful sex
Summary: 4 Stars
Raoul "Gator" Fontenot is the charming, Cajun bad boy of the Ghostwalker team. There doesn't seem to be a female alive who doesn't succumb to his laid back, arrogant personality. Before he leaves to help out his family in New Orleans, Lily comes to him privately. She thinks another girl she was with as a child, Iris "Flame" Johnson, will be in the New Orleans area, and wants Gator to bring her back. Gator suspects Lily isn't telling him something important, but manages to wheedle it out of her. Gator agrees to look for Flame, even though his trust in Lily is starting to wane a bit. She has the same thirst for knowledge her father did, and it can be frightening.
After meeting and talking to Flame, Gator's distrust of Lily deepens. Flame has a strong, determined, independent, in-your-face mindset. She had to be to survive the horrific life Peter Whitney forged for her. She likes to play devil's advocate and opens Gator's eyes to other possibilities. Her intelligence can nearly rival Lily's. Her theories amplify Lily and Dahlia's earlier suspicions, and threaten the foundation of all their relationships, including what she and Gator feel for each other. Despite what she thinks, they can't ignore the powerful attraction they have. The sex between those two is full of kinky sex toys and interesting positions. LOL
Some may like Flame's character, but I wasn't too fond of her. I liked the fact that she has enough brains to think differently and present other unexplored prospects to everyone. I found her personality so strong, it was overpowering. Half the time I rolled my eyes at what she said and did, or I felt like going into the book to give her a good smack. ^^;;; Nevertheless, the series would be boring if there wasn't a character like her in it. Flame showcases how well Christine Feehan can write with numerous characters.
It looks as if Christine Feehan researched DNA manipulation and genetics heavily. I had to read the first chapter a few times to fully comprehend what Lily was trying to explain. This third installment is full of unexpected twists and surprises. It definitely takes the Ghostwalkers series into a new direction and makes everyone question what's really true.
Book Review: Sexy paranormal with plenty of action
Summary: 5 Stars
This time it's personal. Raoul "Gator" Fontenot of the special-forces GhostWalker squad heads back to the Louisianna bayous where he was raised to find a missing woman with a psychic voice talent similar to his own. He's warned, though, that another woman may also be searching. Iris "Flame" Johnson escaped from the madman's program that enhanced her, Raoul, and the others--at the cost of making them experimental animals in his program. Iris has been on the run ever since, and is both in danger and a danger to the GhostWalker squad. If Raoul can bring her back, he'll be doing everyone a favor. The one small problem--Iris would rathre die than return to Whitney's control--and she, unlike the others, is convinced that Whitney is still alive and still very much in control of the GhostWalkers.
It doesn't take Raoul long to track Iris down--both her flaming tattoo and her psychic abilities give her away. He's drawn to her immediately. The two seem to share a connection that goes deeper than physical attraction, deeper, indeed, than the psychic bond that exists between all of the GhostWalkers. Still, Iris knows that she can never trust him. Voluntarily or not, he's still working for Whitney, the man who deliberately infected her with cancer for his own perverse purposes. They do, however, share a common goal--finding what happened to Joy, the missing woman.
With their psychic powers, handling local troublemakers is no problem. But it gradually becomes apparent that they are facing enemies far more deadly than cajun bad-boys.
Author Christine Feehan dishes up a spicy mix of action, paranormal magic, and steamy sex in NIGHT GAMES. After a somewhat talky first chapter, Feehan keeps the action coming. The attraction between Raoul and Iris grows very quickly, but the paranormal connection and their shared experiences at the hands of the evil Whitney help justify such a rapid escalation of the relationship.
If you're looking for a sexy paranormal thriller, you won't go wrong with NIGHT GAME.
Book Review: Ghost Walker Gator saves the day!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking forward to this one, being the third in the Series
of Ghost Walkers and I was not disappointed at all. I bought the
book and read it in one sitting.I couldn't put it down! It not
only open your eyes more to who and what the Ghost Walkers are
but brought into it a new level of why they are what they are and
why its so damn important to find the girls the doctor had
worked on before.
Anyone who has read any of Christine Feehan's
book might find this one either
A- not enough hot sex in like her Carpathian stories
B- love it because of how it open your eyes.
About the real reasons why Dr. Lily Whitney-Miller is looking
for the girls that were so mistreated before the Ghost Walkers
gave about.
I can't wait for the next one in this series to come out about
the Ghost Walkers or even the Vampires series because no matter
what, you pick up her book(s) you better have time to read them
at one sitting or don't start reading! Her books suck you in and
take you away to a world that could be right next door to you
and you would never know.
In fact this series works closer together than her others do so
its better to read the first one:
Shadow Game then
Mind Game
before you start of Night Game only because you really will enjoy
it more if you know who and how the Ghost Walkers came about. You
love all the characters and its just easier to know who is who.
Most of Christine Feehan books are stand alone books and you
really don't need to know who all the characters are but this
series is a little different. So go ahead and get Pick up Night
Game but read Shadow Game first and get started to lost in the
minds, world and pain of the Ghost Walkers.
A must read for all Christine Feehan Fans!
Book Review: My faith is renewed in this series!
Summary: 4 Stars
I didn't like the second book in this series. For some reason I couldn't connect with Nicholas and Dahlia. I was not looking forward to this one, mainly because the author had me thinking that Gator was a second string kind of player in the GhostWalker series. She seriously never hinted at him being as powerful as he is. If she hadn't made me like him so much then I would have been really angry. I liked this book. I actually liked it, I think, better than the first two. I like that we actually get surprised in this book. There are things that happen in this book that threw me off balance. Coming at this point in the series, that was refreshing. Ms. Feehan's willingness to keep us off balance with the thought that Peter Whitney isn't dead and that there might be someone giving him information is pure genius.
The chemistry between Gator and Flame is hot hot hot. She is just the right combination of vulnerability and strength that she kind of makes you love her right away. She fights the attraction a little too long in my opinion, but maybe this added something to the final product. Maybe it made it a little more meaningful when the sex finally happened. You know at that point that the characters are committed to each other. I very seriously recommend that you read this book. It really is good stuff.
The format of these new "easy reading" books, bugs the crap out of me. They are no easier to read than any other. They aren't doing you, the reader; any favors so don't be fooled. I have to think that this is a shameless ploy to extract just a little more of your hard earned money. They KNOW that this is a popular author and they KNOW that you will buy what she writes. Think what you will. I am just glad that I work for a bookstore and don't have to purchase amazing books in order to read them.
Book Review: Steamy sex and real intrigue and subplots galore!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read Mind Game and looked forward to this one in the series and am happy to say it is even better!! Lily Whitney "daughter" of Dr. Peter Whitney and married to Captain Ryland Miller has been going through her recently deceased father's computers and papers to find more of the young female orphans now grown that Dr. Whitney experimented with performing psychic and physical enhancements of all kinds. In Mind Game the "Ghostwalkers" -- a group of Special Forces men also enhanced by Whiney -- found Dahlia who has special psychic powers.
Now two things are happening simultaneously, Raoul "Gator" Fontenot, a Ghostwalker, has been asked by his grandmother to find a young woman, Joy, who has disappeared under mysterious circumstances so he is going to New Orleans. Lily asks Gator to also look for Iris "Flame" Johnson while he is there as she believes that Flame is in the area and may be having a recurrence of the cancer that Dr. Whitney planted/cured/planted/cured... Raoul is uniquely qualified to find Flame as he has the same type of psychic and physical enhancements involving sound.
As Gator and Flame meet up and learn to work together, they are being pursued by various assassins and it also seems that it is possible that Lily Whitney's "father", Dr. Whitney, may not be dead!! The intrigue and mysteries and subplots are well detailed and so is Gator's family and the wonderful feeling of warmth from them. The sexual chemistry and romance between Gator and Flame is also well done but might be too graphic for some people.
A hard-to-put-down novel and can't wait for the next installment!
