Book Reviews of Shadow Game (GhostWalkers, Book 1)

Book Review: Great Romantic Suspense
Summary: 5 Stars

When some of the men mysteriously disappear, Ryland begins to hate Higgens and Whitney. As their power increases, Higgens feels threatened and demands Peter isolate the men and put them in separate cages. Now they feel like laboratory rats being studied and their hatred builds
against Peter and the colonel they feel betrayed them. They secretly begin to telepathically
plan to escape from the lab.

Before they can escape, Peter and Higgens are joined by a woman so beautiful she takes
Ryland's breath away. And, somehow she acts like a magnet to relieve Ryland of his pain
by removing the assault of emotions and noise from him. Ryland is wary when she is introduced as Lily Whitney, Peter's daughter, but he senses a soul connection and believes she feels it, too. Furthermore, he senses emotions of guilt coming from Peter as he argues the need to reverse the processes with Higgens since the experiment isn't working as planned. Higgens adamantly refuses and Peter becomes suspicious of his motives.

Peter Whitney is missing and Lily's extraordinary psychic abilities show her he's been
murdered and thrown into the sea. Inconsolable, she works her way through her father's
notes and finds one to shock her even more. He left a message telling her of his suspicions, and asks her take over the project to find a reversal to help the men in the laboratory. Even more, he gives her information she never wanted to hear in her lifetime, information that could come close to destroying her. Ryland is inside her head and feels her pain and all he can think of is holding her to comfort and protect her.

The story that follows is different from previous dark Carpathian novels, but these men would make wonderful characters of that race. They are definitely alpha men, forceful, dominant and macho, Ryland having the strongest of these traits in this tale. Christine Feehan matches him with an alpha woman, as Lily has the same tendencies, making for a sizzling romantic novel, especially so since Ryland and Lily read each other and can live out each other's fantasies. Whew! Be sure to have a fan handy for this read <grin>.

The medical knowledge and explanations went over my head at times because it is so
finely detailed, telling this reviewer how well the facts were researched. Ms. Feehan brings in a great cast of characters in addition to the lead couple, and I can see the opportunity for future stories to develop. As always, there is a very strong thread of family running through this tale, though it's threaded differently in this story, and Lily must deal with information she learns about her past. Ryland will be there with his unconditional love to help her conquer her pain. SHADOW GAME is unique as the multiple plots unravel, and is sure to give readers several hours
of enjoyment and satisfaction. I'm thrilled to see Christine Feehan branch out from her
beloved Carpathian stories to offer a full length novel about the Ghost Walkers (so called because of their skills to invisibly blend into the shadows), and I sure hope there will be more to
follow this one. Readers and long-time fans will not want to miss this highly charged romantic suspense.
