(Spoiler free)

Christine Feehan’s GhostWalkers is one of my very favorite PNR/RS series. I love the plot, the characters, the writing… I’m always thrilled when a new book is released, then sad when I’ve finished reading it. That was, and is, the case with this tenth installment of the series, Samurai Game.

I always like to include the book blurb in my reviews, but the official blurb for Samurai Game sucks doesn't really give us much of what this story is about. Christine Feehan posted this on her...more

I'd even go as far as a 4½♥'s on this one.

Just as you would expect from this series, you will still find alpha males, near insta-love, psychic (DNA manipulated) talents, and high action. This book also has a walking lethal weapon of a female, and I loved that. The female, Thorn/Azami was just as deadly, if not more so than Sam. That just plain rocked. I loved that she was Japanese and brought her culture into Sam's life. I found it to be a sensual, heart-pumping journey.

If you are a fan of the...more

Ok so when I started reading the ghost walkers I was obssesed I particularly loved the story of Jack and Briony their story was hot and compelling. I guess I am just tired of the I am damaged and not worthy of your love women and the men who make them whole. I am also pretty sick of the we have been paired is this really love nonsense.
I was eager to read this book but the formula is getting old and their have been little or no advancement at bring down Whitney... I mean isn't Whitney tired to at...more

Stepping back into Christine Feehan’s Ghostwalker series was like putting on an old, comfy pair of slippers that you just found hiding under the bed. Sure they have a hole or two in them but you stick your feet in them and ahhh… heaven! I have missed reading about the men and women that have been turned into paranormals by the ever weirder Whitney and it was really good to get back into them with the newest book in the series...more

Review originally posted at Fiction Vixen as a guest review on July 5. I was given the book to review.

Favorite Lines: "You're so easy to want, Azami, so easy to love, but you still reject who and what you are. You are Thorn, that incredibly brave girl who has grown into a remarkable woman." (p. 244)

Christine Feehan's Ghostwalker series is one of my favorite paranormal romance series. I love it so much that I rarely review the books out of fear that I'll over think them and ruin the experience....more

A good read, though it felt like it got a little lost at times. The huge introduction of Azami, the buildup to Azami and Sam meeting, the mission for the ghostwalker teams was given light coverage and the attack on the compounds while the teams were away seemed weak and thrown in. Several of Whitney's supporters were killed and we don't hear anything from him in this book? Maybe it's part of Feehan's plan?

As much as I love this series, it seems like it's taking a long time to make any progress...more

The story itself in Christine Feehan’s Samurai Game (a GhostWalker novel) is an absorbing read. There are twists and turns, tense scenes of action, meticulously planned assassinations, surprising new characters, enjoyable sex scenes, and plenty of character friction.

I loved the character of Azami, an enhanced psychic in her own right who comes to the GhostWalkers not knowing whether they’ll be allies or enemies. Her past helps to demonize Whitney, the GhostWalkers’ enemy, although he's a villain...more

Fans of Christine Feehan will not be disappointed with this 10th entry in her great Ghostwalkers series. The story starts out fast and violent, full of conspiracy and death. After being tortured and used by Whitney as a live dissection lab rat, simply because she had no apparent psychic talents, Thorn was tossed into the streets of Japan, where she was rescued by a man who became her father and mentor. Raised with love and trained in the way of the samurai along with her two "brothers", Thorn h...more

Serie: decimo libro serie Ghostwalkers

Inedito in Italia

Che dire? Abbiamo già parlato a volontà di Christine Feehan e abbiamo cercato di convincere le case editrici italiane a pubblicare la sua serie Ghostwalkers ancora più volte, fino ad ora senza risultato.

Ma io continuo a seguire la serie in lingua originale e sono arrivata al numero 10.

Libro che mi è piaciuto molto devo dire.

Trama: La trama generale della serie prosegue seguendo sempre i pazzi piani di Whitney che orma...more

Tenth in the GhostWalker paranormal romance action series. The couple focus is on Sam Johnson and Azami Yoshiie.


My Take
Oh man, the summary on the back of the book sure dances around. Yes, all these events are in the book, but they're so minor...I had to really think about them.

Feehan gets you worked up immediately with three short, nasty scenarios which leave you questioning and curious. Then she ratchets up the tension with the meeting between Sam and Azami and her brothers. I do love that Sam...more

Review originally published at BookThing! (Reviewed by Tracey Risebrow)

The Ghostwalkers are an elite group of physically and psychically enhanced soldiers, so secret most people do not know of their existence. Those who do seem to want to destroy them or experiment on them! In a compound home to some of the most deadly Ghostwalkers and their families, Sam Johnson welcomes Azami Yoshie and her brothers – the owners of the most sophisticated satellite technology company anywhere in the world. Ther...more

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. First off, I must say that the back of the book, the book's 'trailer', so to speak, had very little to do with the actual story. The book was SO MUCH MORE than what it is portrayed to be about, and I really liked that quality because it made everything that happened in the story and progression of the book so unexpected! I know, it's shocking, right? A book that actually kept me on my toes a bit?! Unbelievable.
I really enjoyed both the story line and t...more

Ok the beginning was realllllllyyyyyyy slowwwww. But once you caught on it got easier to follow. The uber military talk and excessive detailed descriptions of the main battle was a little much for me. It did seem like a page filler, as some other reviewers mentioned. As long as she doesnt make a habbit of it i'm ok with it just this one time. And the love scene that gets interupted was kind of a "WTH" moment. Besides those few complaints, i love how we finally get to meet Thorn she was hinted at...more

I enjoy Feehan's series so much. I enjoy the plot, the characters, and the world they live in. However, I do not enjoy sections which deal with intimate sexual situations. Yes I am uncomfortable with Whitney's experimentation on humans, but I don't want to have intimate details of a sexual nature as major parts of the story. I am sure I am missing bits of the plot, but I skim and skip the sections that deal with what she did to him and what he did to her. I don't feel it is necessary to go into...more

I loved this book! Thorn has been mentioned in books past so it was no surprise to meet her or Sam.
We had been given hints about them both in previous books so it was a real delight to meet them and follow their story. This book does not have a real deep plot. It does provide more in depth insight of their inner feelings and fears and how they cope. It is a relationship built book where each sees the other for who they are has deep respect for their skills and principles. There were dark events...more

OK, where to start? I liked the strenght of Azami, even if in this case what Whitney supposedly had done to her as a child went wll beyond the plausible. Sam was stereotypical and predictable, and with nothing to show his intellectual ability other than being told about his degrees. I think the first part of the book was literarily weak, providing character background in pretty clumsy ways. That changed later on (maybe the first chapters were written in a hurry in the last minute. On the other e...more

I have waited for this book for a long time. I salivate over it, especially since I read the first chapter. The first part promises suspense and action and Ms. Feehan didn't disappoint. I love both characters, they are both physically and psychically strong, very smart and loyal to their loved ones. I enjoyed the camaraderie between the GhostWalkers and loved reading about the them again since the last 2 books were about another team based on San Francisco. The fight scenes were really well tho...more

This is a terrific romantic suspense series with a touch of paranormal thrown in. Action! Adventure! Intrigue! Romance! What’s not to love? I’ve waited anxiously for this installment of the GhostWalkers series as I sense a change in the focus. The GhostWalkers are starting to ferret out Whitneys spies and are becoming a more focused and cohesive unit.

In this installment another GhostWalker finds her way to the mountain retreat where some of the GhostWalkers and their families have made their sa...more

Loved seeing more of the Ghostwalkers and Amazi was a fascinating woman. I enjoyed learning of some the Japanese customs and in particular the fact that there were female Samurai warriors--usually you hear of only the male. Their view of death was interesting as well.

I laughed out loud at all the weapons Amazi regularly wore and all were decorative. If you didn't know they were weapons you would have never known. She is a walking arsenal which Sam found sexy (and that was fun to see). The whole...more

This is the tenth book in the famous GhostWalker series, and fans will absolutely love everything from the slightly paranormal aspects to the thrilling puzzle to the beautiful love story. All three facets are woven together perfectly by Ms. Feehan, who has certainly made a career out of being able to produce a riveting plot.

To begin, there are many men in the government who are customers of the “Dungeon.” This is one of those very private venues where famous and infamous men go to live out thei...more

If you have been following the Ghostwalker series, you may remember this heroine. Thorn was mentioned briefly in Predatory Game. Saber was forced by the evil genius Dr. Whitney to stop little Thorn’s heart repeatedly as an experiment.

Thorn is now an adult. After Dr. Whitney decided she was dying from his experiments (torture), she was tossed into the streets to die and was found by a wonderful man who adopted her, gave her a family and a new name. Azami Yoshiie. Azami’s entire purpose in life is...more

Now I've had my ups and downs with Christine Feehan, her Dark whatever series makes me cranky but I like this series. This is one of the best of this series that I have read.

Sam Johnson is a smart guy, multiple degrees and a talented soldier his paranormal abilities make him good at infiltration and taking out soldiers. When he meets Azami "Thorn" Yoshiie he's smitten and he finds a worthy partner in her, if they both can stay alive. Both of them are orphans, both were found by caring people who...more

I remember enjoying Feehan's Carpathian series very much, so I decided to pick up something else from her. I chose Samurai Game because it's pretty rare for a woc to be the leading heroine. Unfortunately, the characters had little to no development (thankfully, Azami had a touch more development, and at least Feehan gave readers a glimpse into her inner turmoil.) I feel like even Feehan didn't really believe in the couple, so she focused mainly on the military/Whitney aspects of it and neglected...more

I continue to love this series of books. This is Sam Johnson story. He is a member of Team One. All of Team One and Team Two have now moved to the mountains of Montana adjacent to the Norton brothers. Ryland and Lily's son, Daniel, is a toddler and is showing extraordinary talents. Jack and Briony have twin boys that are also showing talents. Mari and Ken are expecting a baby. Someone is killing off the people in Washington that are helping Dr. Peter Whitney. The teams don't realize who it is un...more

I really liked this series when it first began, but now it has just stretched suspension of disbelief beyond the realm of possibility. I didn't think there was much of a storyline to this book as I was more than three quarters of the way through before there was any significant forward motion. I will say the characters were well developed and for the most part the writing flowed well, but the negative aspects far outweigh the positives.
For example:
-The character of Daniel is ridiculous.
-The ex...more

I gave it FULL 5 stars. IT deserves it. It was different, warm, satisfying and fast the speed [Oh the speed] lol. Azami aka Thorn fits Sam, even with her imperfection, the man still loves her. That's one of the things I like about this series. The different culture in the book, I'm so glad you didn't skipped it. Azami is a such a strong woman and a great samurai warrior. Meeting her brothers, and the extraordinary satelite. A new road for the GWs, and the scene in Whitney (Ohmygosh, HIS DOUBLE?)...more

Let me just say the book review on the back has almost NOTHING to do with 94% of the book. All the people mentioned in the review are dead by about page 3 and the rest of the book has almost nothing entirely to do with that scene. I had expected from the review for a character and plot stolen from "La Femme Nikita". No that wasn't even close to what I got, instead I got a harlequin novel filled with people who NEVER KNEW LONELINESS, OR the want of the other sex, and now cant stop thinking of the...more

This story is classic Christine Feehan. It is technically well written, appears well researched, and follows her standard story line. And I hated it. Still, if you like Feehan's previous work, you will love this. No need to read any more of this review.

I tried-I really try to finish this. I must have outgrown Feehan since I last read her, because I just couldn't take it. It's the same story, with the same characters, with different names. The characters are truly caricatures of themselves, with...more

The blurb had little to do with this story, everything mentioned is over with by the first couple chapters.
Tenth in a series, I was looking forward to this one because of the Japanese influence. It was certainly better than the last few where the plot was basically "DNA has programmed us to love each other, let's have sex 24/7."
Yes, there maybe DNA pairing in this one too, it's overly written by Feehan, and repetitive (where is her editor?) as usual, but this one has more of plot, more danger, a...more
