My Thoughts:

I loved the unique vibe of this story. Well honestly, all the books are different, but this one starts out sort of deceptively. It's kind of a boy meets girl book. However, then you realize that these friends turned lovers are not exactly typical. They are both lethal killers and they don't want each other to know that. It was so cute how they both had feelings for each other and were just barely keeping things on a friendly level. Until those feelings exploded into something more. Boy did I enjoy watching the sparks fly!

Jesse--
This man is so adorable. He's like a deadly teddy bear. He doesn't look like one, he's all hot, hard man with a seductive smile. But he's sweet and caring and protective, like a little kid's teddy bear that they take to bed to keep the boogeyman away. But beneath that is a very lethal man who will protect those that belong to him. I loved that he wasn't willing to let Saber go, to run away from him and what they had together. That kind of hero is my favorite. The man who will do anything to get and keep his woman. They make me sigh. So he's the best of both worlds. The scene in the basement just gave me shivers. I don't like killing or violence for the sake of violence, but I honestly love a kick*ss hero like no other! His power is so fantastic, and kind of scary. He proved to Saber that she was safe with him and he could protect them both. Together they are formidable.

Saber--
I loved her character. Lethal but having the appearance of a beautiful girl-woman. Very small but fierce. She's a protector, not a destroyer as she has been led to believe. Her heart is not that of a killer. It never could be, but she fears that part of herself. To the point that she stays on the run and doesn't allow herself to get close to anyone. She thinks she's not good enough for Jesse, but she's the one woman for him. I love how she tries to protect Jesse because she thinks he needs her protection. You could see her love for him, even when she was afraid to love him. I understood her issues. Holding back out of fear. I was glad that she found that place of rest with Jesse, and came to realize that the GhostWalkers were the family she was always missing. I love all the GW women, but Saber is one of my favorite GhostWalkers, up there with Mari and Rose.

I truly enjoyed this reread. I could live in these books. They are so enjoyable and real for me. I love all the aspects of these books: fiery, beautiful romance, complex relationships between men and women, found and born families, fighting the darkness, and formidable warriors all together. Everything I love in a good fiction book. I have to wait until July to reread Murder Game, but I want to just dive in now and keep reading, so I don't have to leave the GhostWalkers behind. That's how good these books are!

***Listened to audiobook from 6/29/11-7/5/11. Here are my thoughts:***

I have to be honest and admit I didn't care for the narrator. His voice wasn't suited to the characters and Christine Feehan narrative. I think he would do a great job narrating noir/detective novels, though. With this story, he just didn't bring Jesse, Saber, and any of the other characters (except the sicko villain) to life in a pleasing manner. He actually made me want to reread the book again right away (and during) to get my own visuals of the characters back in my head, which I will probably do early next year.

Narrator aside, I enjoyed listening because I love this serious so darn much. I really enjoy spending time with the GhostWalkers, and I don't think that will ever change. Listening to this book in the early morning hours (and after long hard days) kept me awake on my long journey, and I'm thankful for that. I love turning over the conspiracies involving the GhostWalkers in my head, and hearing it adds a new layer. If I could change one thing, it would just be the narrative choice.

I am so tempted to go to the library and grab the other GhostWalker audiobooks off the shelf like the greedy junkie that I am.

Overall rating for audiobook: 4.25/5.0 stars

Original review below (I didn't change it because that would be unfair based on the audiobook version):

Another great Ghostwalkers book. This one had a more semi-normal tone. Boy and girl getting to know each other. Sort of, if you consider that girl is on the run from a secret agency who trained her to kill with her touch since she was a child, and boy is a super-soldier. It was sweet but at the same time, both Saber and Jess are two dangerous people you do not want to have as enemies. I thought that the direction that things went with Saber's ability was really cool. It reminded me of Rogue from the X-Men a little bit. She was such a likable heroine, and also really dangerous. I liked that she protected Jess and put her life at risk for him, even at times when she wasn't sure she could trust him. I liked how Jess fell in love with Saber early on and wanted to make a home for her and for her to feel comfortable enough to stay with him. He took things slow so that he didn't rush her. In that way, it was a sweet book. But when things start to escalate, this book is just as intense as the other Ghostwalkers book. It was great to see that things worked out for Jess, after reading about how he lost the use of his legs and how awful that was. It's funny how he played all sweet and harmless but you realize that he is far from that, even though he has to use a wheelchair. Again, not a guy I would want as an enemy. He is a powerful Ghostwalker with abilities that remind one of Charles Xavier and Jean Grey from the X-Men, which I thought was really cool. He's also a computer genius type as well. And he's hot. Did I mention he was a Navy SEAL? THUD! Where can I get one of him? It was nice to see Ken and Mari again, and to see that they are going well. And to see Lily give birth to the first of the second generation of Ghostwalkers. I am just as addicted as ever to this series, but since i only have one left, I am going to try to hold off on reading that one and read something else because I cannot imagine the void in my life with no Ghostwalker books to look forward to.

The 6th book in the GhostWalkers series, Predatory Game was a somewhat disappointing read for me. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't up to par with the previous books. It was nicer, sweeter and tamer, and I missed the fast paced and never-ending action typical of the series.

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't up to par with the previous books. It was nicer, sweeter and tamer, and I missed the fast paced and never-ending action typical of the series.

Jess Calhoun is a wheelchair-bound GhostWalker who was seriously injured in Mind Game and has been working "in the background" since then. To the world, he's just a retired Navy SEAL turned songwriter and radio station owner, but he's actually still deeply connected with the GhostWalkers, investigating a possible traitor within the Government. Saber Wynter is a deadly GhostWalker - she can kill with a simple touch - who has managed to escape from Dr. Whitney, and ended up working for Jess at his radio station and living at his house (as a housekeeper/housemate and nothing else). Jess knows Saber's on the run (from an abusive husband?) and she's hiding a lot of things - being a paranoid GhostWalker, he investigated her when she showed up on his doorstep one year ago, but couldn't find anything - and she knows there's more to him than meets the eye, but neither suspects the other is a GhostWalker because they're both "shielders", therefore able to hide their psychic powers from anyone. That was an interesting premise, having Jess and Saber develop a relationship without the pull of their powers and, seemingly, without Dr. Whitney's genetic manipulation too.

When this book begins, Jess and Saber has been friends (without benefits, poor guys) for almost a year, and she's starting to feel it's time she moved on because she's become too attached to him and it isn't safe to stay in one place for so long considering the Evil Mad Dr. Whitney's on her trail. But she can't find the strength to leave Jess and she ends up lowering her "shield" accidentaly and tipping him off about the fact that she's a GhostWalker. He doesn't say anything but he starts to wonder if she's a spy planted by Dr. Whitney. At the same time, he finds out there's someone stalking his house, so he calls his GhostWalkers team for help. When Saber meets them, she realizes Jess and his friends are all GhostWalkers, and she wonders if they're Dr. Whitney's goons sent to catch her. Jess and Saber love each other, even though she's not willing to admit it, but can they trust each other? And who's the stalker? Is Dr. Whitney really behind it all?

All in all, Predatory Game was a satisfying read, more focused on the romance than the previous books in the series. Jess had a charming sense of humor, which is unusual when it comes to the heroes in this series, and that gave this book a "lighter" feel. But while I enjoyed reading Jess and Saber's banter and seeing how well adjusted their lives had become in the months they had been living together, I got tired of it halfway through the story. I mean, nothing important happened in the 1st 8 chapters. I was ready to start shooting bullets myself just to get some action going, LOL. Fortunately, the crazy stalker made his move before I had to resort to that, and the story picked up its pace just the way I like it. As villains go, the stalker didn't scare much and I never saw him as a real threat, probably because he wasn't "enhanced". What normal human being could face a GhostWalker and survive?

Anyway, I'm still a devoted fan of this series and will definitely read the next book, Murder Game. I've been dying to read Kadan's story since his 1st appearance in Shadow Game, so it should be fun to see him fall in love and lose (some of) his control. ;)

This was a hot one. So far all the books in the Ghostwalker series have been sizzling with incredibly virile, alpha males but not all couples have had great chemistry. Jess and Saber, however, are like an enzyme reaction...bubbling, sizzling, and setting each other off. The story both illuminates and complicates the on-going Ghostwalker narrative. These stories are complex with unfolding political intrigue, employing genetic man...more

Another terrific book in the series!

We get more on Jesse Calhoun in this one, and what he's been dealing with. As it's a continuation of the series, Feehan doesn't touch on a lot of the past. This one starts out different, and I think I liked it. It wasn't one of the GhostWalkers out looking for one of the women or out on a mission. It starts right in Jess's home. He'd met Saber, who answered a job ad, and has been his roommate for several months already. You get to feel how they interact right...more

This is the story of Jesse Calhoun, a Ghostwalker, who was severly injured in the second book, Mind Games. He is a Navy SEAL who has had to leave the teams because he can no longer walk. Saber Wynter, a woman that Dr. Whitney Sr. had experimented on when she was child, moves into his life, neither realizes what the other is.

Ms. Feehan may be the "reigning queen of paranormal romance," but she's also the queen of the run-on sentence. ;-)She certainly has her own writing style: a lot of character emotion, lengthy dialogue, the tendency to reiterate.

With all that, I still enjoyed this book. There were some slow parts, but the end was full of action. Finally, seeing some headway in the Dr. Whitney issue. This was the first time--that I can remember--the girls from the orphanages having flower OR seasonal names. In the...more

And her world building is this series blows me away.

I truly enjoyed Jesse's story. It was refreshing after the gritty tales of the Norton twins. I liked that this novel was really about Jesse and Saber falling in love. Feehan's at a point in the series where it's in transition and that can often kill the romance, but not in Predatory Game. I got everything I've come to expect of this series: fast paced plot, aching romance and the advancement of the overall story arc. Jesse is a great character, not my favourite of the series, but I like him a lot. Dangerous but cool as a still pool of water and with a wicked good sense of humour. Stubborn, but not unyielding. Proud, but never so much that he comes off as a jerk. And I love that he is so much in love with Saber he'd walk away from the military if she'd asked. As for Saber, I loved that's physically small but can kick some serious butt. Her enhanced ability, to feel someone's biorhythm was also extremely cool. That's the good in this book.

The bad? Not much. I wish a bit more of the story arc had been developed, but I'm so happy the series has returned to its head over heels romance feel that I can't bring myself to really complain about it. The only other thing that kind of stood out and bugged me was the repetition of our heroine: she's not quite willing to believe in her man and their love. All the women in this series are plagued with this irksome flaw I find, to one degree or another. I'd really like Feehan to flip that and make the man the sceptic next time. It was refreshing when Ryland was the believer back in Shadow Game, now it's just "oh boy, here we go again." Don't get me wrong Saber is great, I love how sensitive and caring she is and I appreciate her concerns, especially given all she's been through as a child. I'd just like to see one of the women in this series willing to put it on the line for love without needing the man to profess his love for her over and over and over again.

Favourite quote from the novel:

"It lasted an eternity, forever, it lasted a heartbeat, a moment."

Saber went AWOL from one of Peter Whitney's labs and has been on the run ever since, moving on before anyone can figure out who she is or before she can accidentally take someone's life. She has an unusually powerful, attractive voice (another one of her enhanced abilities) so working in radio seems like a good, peaceful option.

Well, it just so happens that Jess Calhoun owns a radio station, and a horrible accident just cost him his night DJ and sound guy. Hiring Saber is a natural choice, or so he thought; as the story goes on, we find out just how much of this chance meeting was actually staged and how far Peter Whitney is willing to go to get the results he wants.

Saber and Jess are attracted to each other from the getgo, although whether that's because the feelings are authentic or because they're the result of the enhanced pheromones (again, compliments of Peter Whitney) is a cause of great angst and confusion for Saber. She's kind of stuck in an emotional whirlwind that she can't leave- first she shies away from Jess because a soured relationship would cost her her job and her home, then she shies away from Jess because she feels she can never be accepted by other people because of her dangerous abilities, then she shies away from Jess because she doesn't know that she can commit to him for the long haul.

Normally, these kinds of endless reservations and issues and drama don't really do anything for me, but in this book they were used pretty cleverly to illustrate that everything isn't coming up roses in the Ghostwalker world. This author has a knack for taking what could be pretty damaging plot holes and tying them into the story in a way that enhances the story and makes it feel more authentic. For example, there's a scene where Jess finds out that while one character thinks that he and all his genetically enhanced cohorts are good guys because they're "patriots," which the character defines basically as working for the government, he thinks Saber isn't so good because she "doesn't believe in anything." Jess naturally gets all defensive but he is forced to confront the question that nobody else seems to want to address, namely, what kind of future do they all have, really? Are they ever going to be able to be out and open in society or accepted as anything other than manufactured killers? This is just one example of the story seams that get tightened up in this story, and there certainly isn't a clear resolution, but then again, there usually aren't those kinds of answers in the regular world either.

The other major development in the story revolves around the bionics that Jess is using experimentally in hopes that he won't have to rely on a wheelchair anymore. That isn't a spoiler, but it sure feels like one, since characters with any kind of physical difference are so rare in romance novels to begin with. I applaud the author for "going there," so to speak, but I found the bionics aspect of the story to be kind of a cop out. It's hard to really explain why without getting too spoilery, but suffice it to say that his physical disability is there to serve a broader purpose. What would have happened if he'd remained unable to walk? I'm just speculating and overall it's a minor quirk, but I think there were added depths to this story that could have been explored.

The happily-ever-after was sweet and fun, the appearances from other characters were interesting, and while no earthshattering revelations were made about the future direction of the story, it was still a fun book to read.

Overall Grade: A-

This novel is the epitome of sexy and dangerous. I can feel the love between the main characters, Saber Wynter and Jess Calhoun. I did not read the previous installments, and although I am usually very meticulous about reading a series in order, I decided I would take the plunge. I generally like Feehan's novels, and this one did not disappoint. The characters are complex, the gadgets are high-tech, the plot is weaved with mystery and danger, and the erotic scenes are filled with passion and tru...more

Shelves: fromlibrary, paranormal, romance

Saber Winter is running from her past, trying very hard to keep on top of her problems, some of which stem from the fact that she's a GhostWalker and she's afraid of what her powers could do. She's also afraid of being brought back in to the project and forced to kill, again.
Jess Calhoun is an ex-officer with the US Navy SEALS, now he's in a wheelchair and owns a radio station. Saber works for him and he's given her a place to stay as well. He's hoping that she will realise that he's in love wi...more

I love the Ghostwalkers, each one more than the last. This one was no exception. I found that I very much enjoyed both the characters and the story for this one, and I liked the fact that it went a bit off of the norm for this series in that the main characters didn't jump each other within the first few hours of meeting. Even though you know they are going to get their HEA, I was caught up in the action and the excitement right along with Saber and Jess. I hope to see more of them in the upcomi...more

OK. I admit, I like the psychic books. It's cool to think people can do all kinds of things with their minds. The characters in this book can heal and kill as well as move things with their minds. It's cool. What's not cool is that they were government experiments who are still being hunted by members of their own government, as well as the mad scientist who created them. This makes for some tense adventures, but it all works out in the end. Because this is part of a series, it's left a little o...more

I had low expectations going into Predatory Game, I thought it would be slow and not that interesting. So imagine my surprise when I found myself totally loving it and it has now become a favourite for me in the series along with Conspiracy Game.

So imagine my surprise when I found myself totally loving it and it has now become a favourite for me in the series along with Conspiracy Game.

I was abit reluctant to read a story with the hero/heroine already being best friends since I usually prefer to see the couple’s first meeting, but Christine managed to keep the tension and pique my interest from the get go. I loved Jesse and Saber both individually and as a couple. Jesse having grown up with a loving family wasn’t the typical dark hero I usually gravitate towards, but I still loved him. He was sweet and kind but was also fiercely protective and lethal and would do anything for the ones he loves. He also knows what he wants and won’t stop until he gets it. Saber was the kind of heroine I really like. Strong yet not afraid to show vulnerability. Her playful bantering with Jesse was amusing and I felt their spark immediately. I truly felt the love between the two.

Jesse/Saber already being friends added an extra special angle and authenticity to their love story. They didn’t automatically give in to their physical attraction until they got to know each other and fall in love. In other GW books the couples got together quickly and sometimes it worked but with Jesse/Saber it was a nice change of pace to see something different. The interactions with the other Ghostwalkers (love Logan) and the addition of Patsy (Jesse’s sister) and Brian added to the story.

I loved that the book built up to the action. The start was great in getting to see into Jesse/Saber’s life (while having their secrets) and seeing them fall more in love and getting to care for them and then once everything was laid in the open and the action hit, it was a non-stop thrill ride from there. Of course as expected from a Christine book there was also plenty of sensual and hot moments.

Action, romance, friendship, suspense, humour, likeable characters and a couple with fantastic chemistry...what more could I ask for?

4.5 stars.

I really loved this book! It had everything in it. Although it wasn't as dark as the previous book, the tone of this book was more suspenseful and maybe even creepier because there was a lot of mystery in this one, especially as the reader was positioned to have the desire to know who the (view spoiler)

Jesse melted my heart. We met Jesse in the second book and learnt the consequences he'd had to deal with after he was captured by the enemy. I loved how we g...more
