Saber Wynter knew she had been in one
place too long considering the terrifying past she was running
from. A child prodigy of a doctor responsible for turning her
into an assassin before she hit puberty, Saber doesn’t believe
she will ever find acceptance and a family to call her own.
Living with her boss Jess Calhoun, a Navy Seal recuperating
from his battle wounds, goes against all she’s been taught.
But for the first time in her life, she feels safe.
Jess didn’t realize his
roommate/housekeeper is more than a woman on the run from a
bad past. When Saber slips up and her hidden abilities become
apparent, Jess knows he has to find out why she’s in his home
and how she’s related to Whitney, the doctor responsible for
the anomalies he, his team and the female orphans all have in
common. Jess’ current assignment brings more danger to their
home and the long arm of Whitney becomes apparent when Jess
and Saber discover maybe their shared attraction is not as
natural as they would hope.
Jess and Saber become involved in one
heart-pumping encounter after another as two sick mad men
decide to play a game of cat and mouse, a game that seems to
be spiraling out of control. Only love, trust and the Ghost
Walker brethren working as one will keep these two lovers
safe.
Another addition to a series where
science, paranormal and espionage come together in a world
where enemies are plentiful and those you can trust are few.
Predatory Game is the third book in the Ghost
Walker series I’ve had a chance to read and a big reminder of
how much I’ve missed since Mind Game. Jess is part of
the G.W. team who, despite his crushed legs, is just as
powerful as the rest of his team and has the ability to move
things with his mind. A tiny pixie with the power to kill by
means of the lightest touch, Saber is a powerful woman
tormented by nightmares of dark places and a cruel past.
Together these two are fascinating to watch, from Saber’s
impressive talents to Jess’ dominating personality that hasn’t
changed despite his physical limitations. Christine Feehan has
done an excellent job in creating a story that is full of
suspense and has so many surprises and layers that you find
yourself reading as fast as you can to get to the next
unbelievable twist. For fans of the series, you will be
excited to see cameos from some of the previous team members
and catch up on the diabolical Whitney as he continues to
manipulate from afar. For newcomers, all I can say is sit back
and hold on. Predatory Game is as impressive as
the rest of the series and lives up to its name. |
