The GhostWalkers move out of the swamp and jungle and into the territory of urban warfare with a completely new team of enhanced soldiers, together since childhood, that stumble upon "the one that got away" two years ago, breaking all their hearts, one more than the rest.

Jaimie left the brutal world behind her, but it came knocking on her door yet again, with Mack McKinley bringing his team into "her" city on the heels of an arms-trafficking terrorist group. Jaimie and Mack were close once, but her sense of self-preservation made her leave him (apparently he didn’t care for her beyond the bedroom, despite him constantly keeping her safe from herself, him and his world), breaking his heart in the process.

Now he’s back, her heart is jumping of joy, yet her head is more reluctant. And just as he’s about to launch a full-scale attack onto her senses, danger comes crashing in. So what else is new in the world of the GhostWalkers?


I’m a big fan of Christine Feehan's work, but I have so say this book was quite a disappointment for me. The major problem was the fact I was thrust into an unknown group. I never "met" these men before, I didn’t know they’re background (well, most of it), I didn’t really know what made them tick, so it was truly like meeting new people for the first time and finding yourself threading carefully around each other, assessing, watching, learning.

The second problem was the hero. Ms. Feehan loves to write about her alphas, big, surly brutes with hearts of gold, that, after a while, are more than happy to be brought down to their knees by the right woman. Sorry, but Mack didn’t fall into that category. Sure, he was alpha, sure he was surly, but he was also too much of a jackass for me to actually like him and care whether he got his happy ending or not.

But taking things from this perspective, I’m more than happy he ended up with a brat like Jaimie. Spoiled, petulant, throwing tantrums when things didn’t go her way, leaving instead of sticking with the man she supposedly loved. Sheesh!
She loved him for protecting her, for being big and not scared of anything ,always taking matter into his own hands, yet resented him those same traits, because "he didn’t listen to her". Can you spell spoiled brat?

The amount of angst in this book was enormous, taking the spotlight off the action scenes, which are actually the reason I read these GhostWalkers books. But even when I managed to finally concentrate on the suspense part of the book, the action scenes, the intrigue, the mystery, and the tension felt sort of flat, like they were slapped together in a hurry, without much thought or finesse, resulting in the pacing being way off and certainly not par with her previous novels.
