Summary: Holy Cow!! I think this may be her BEST BOOK ever!!
Comment: Where to start wuth this collection of outstanding characters, incredible action and suspense, wonderful, emotionally connected sensuality and a hideous serial killer? Having read all this author's books I was ready for greatness, but this time both her lead male and female characters are so clearly defined and allowed their reasonable--though extreme--differences. This acceptance forces them into believeable compromise that then makes teir unity stronger. Plus the characters from the other books are represented and allowed to remain true to THEIR own strengths and personalities. ALthough these books are rather blood-thirsty, there is a strong thread of mercy that is allowed to grow. Not a spoiler--but at one point when a negotiated "hospitalization" happens, it is so emotionally real for all the characters--even family members we haven't seen in the story yet--that you are right THERE in the moment when hard decisions are being made. Do not start with this one--but jump in now and get on the fabulous bandwagon of these terrific, well written books.

Summary: Kept me reading
Comment: I am a fan of Christine Feehan's "Drake Sisters" Series of books, so when this one popped up I figured I'd give it a try. I didn't realize that it was a series (#7) and having never read any of her GhostWalkers books I can happily say that I didn't have any trouble following the plot line. The characters were defined enough for me to understand each well enough to enjoy the story. I loved the concept of these "enhanced" warriors with special powers and the involvement of our govt. is always intriguing...however, I do have to say that the sex scenes were a little to much. Very male dominated..sex replacing words of love..blah, blah, blah. Typical over the top sex scenes that were really unnecessary to the "love story" portion of the plot. Even with that bit of criticism, I enjoyed the book enough to purchase the first book in the GhostWalkers series to read next.

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: I too was looking forward to Kaden's story. I was very disappointed in the way his character came off. Neither he nor Tansy had any depth to them. The macho caveman type got old quickly, and her acceptance of him and his attitude, orders, etc was just too much. As another reviewer said there was too much sex at the oddest times that it took you right out of the story. The premise for this book was good and I would have loved to have seen it fleshed out more. As it was this book was about 100 pages too long.

Summary: Bodice Ripper Revisited
Comment: The his-hand-fisted-in-her-hair scenario...definite turn off, especially after the fifth or sixth occurrence (and this is before page 278 of 446).
On Page 278, the heroine asks, "What if I do get pregnant," after having sex numerous times. This doesn't occur to her before now?
She's a freelance wildlife photographer, surviving the wild, yet once the genetically enhanced hero comes along, she transforms into basically a doormat with no personality who actively welcomes the hero's domination.
The hero's, "You f--king belong to me," spill gets old fast.
And on page 289, he's kissing her to bring her back from a psychic encounter with the bad guy. On page 290, she's bleeding from her ears, nose, mouth, and eyes. No where does it depict that he stopped kissing her. That's not sexy or emotionally redeeming. That's just gross.
At this point, I tossed the book across the room. (I respect books, so this is a rare response for me.)
I won't finish this particular book and don't intend to buy any more of Ms. Feehan's books.
What a total waste of time and money.

Summary: In all honesty...
Comment: First of all I am a huge Ghostwalker fan!
That being out of the way Murder Game was really almost dissapointing.
I had been waiting to read Kaden's story for such a long time maybe I amped myself up. This story felt really disjointed and their relationship felt forced especially on Tansy's side of things. This wasn't as smooth and natural feeling as the others in this series. I can't say I didn't enjoy it since it took me only a few days to read it but I can say I thought it would be better. Also the character of Tansy was an nerve itching pushover.
