Ghostwalkers

As I hide inside from the scorching heat that is burning up the area, I have my AC cranked and my book in had. I recently cracked open one of my favorite series for a re-read because I can't get enough of it. It's the Ghostwalker's series by Christine Feehan. Her elite group of military men and the stories she weaves for them are always a good read. Her latest book Samurai Game came out last week and I wanted to refresh my memory before digging into that one. So here is my review of  the first book in the Ghostwalker's Series:

Shadow Game

Shadow Game by Christine Feehan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Christine Feehan is one of my favorite authors. I have read all of her books, and the Ghostwalkers is one series I return to time and time again.

Shadow Game centers around a woman, Lily Whitney, who is brought onto a project by her father as a consultant. The day she is introduced to the Ghostwalkers, an elite military group who signed up for Dr. Whitney's psychic enhancement experiments, her father is brutally killed. Before he dies, he issues a plea and apology to her, asking her to help the Ghostwalkers, who are all being held more or less as prisoners at the lab with horrible side effects from the enhancements and to forgive him for what he has done. As Lily forms an immediate connection with the leader of the group, Ryland Miller, she finds out they are all in grave danger and need answers. Her life is torn open when she learns the truth of her childhood and how far her father's experiments have gone. Lily also struggles with her powerful feelings for Ryland, wondering if they are real or more of her fathers scientific manipulations.


What I liked about it: The premise behind it is great. Enhancing psychic powers to make an elite military unit. Lily Whitney and her warped childhood and the lengths she goes in this book and future ones in the series to right her father's wrongs. Ryland and his men pull you in with their personalities and make you want to see who the next book is about.

What I didn't like: Because the characters often use their senses, there are times where everything is described to the last detail. Again, that is in part a function of the story line, but it had me skimming back to character interactions. Description lovers will enjoy it, but for me it at times was a bit much.


This series has action, it has emotion, it has heat and it has laughs. Christine Feehan has a great style to her writing that draws you in and makes you fall headlong into her series. As an opening book, this is a strong one that I know readers will definitely want more of.
