A follow-up to Shadow Game.

Possessed of an extraordinary telekinetic gift - she can make objects burst into flames - Dahlia Le Blanc has spent her life isolated from other people. But just when she thinks she's finally achieved some semblance of peace, her well-orchestrated world comes crashing down.

For a reason she cannot guess, she has become the target of deadly assassins. Suddenly, no place is safe - not even the secret refuge she established long ago. Now she must rely on Nicolas Trevane, a dangerous warrior sent to track her down and protect her. Together, they generate a scorching heat Dahlia never imagined was possible. But can she trust this man with her secrets, especially when some people would kill to get their hands on them?

Critic reviews

"Swift-moving and sexually charged....an electrifying read, one that should satisfy [Feehan's] fans and cement her reputation as the reigning queen of the paranormal romance." (Publishers Weekly)

same verbiage

To much repeativeness. makes me wonder if the tape went back to an earlier location. I do find the topic interesting though.

Mind Games

This story will draw you even deeper into the world of the Ghost Walkers and the innocent children that were experimented on. I am definitely hooked!

Enjoyable, Interesting, and Entertaining

I found this audiobook to be a very very good listening experience. I enjoyed the narration, which improved my overall opinion of the book.

Again, the premise of these stories is so good.

In the beginning I was disappointed that the story wasn't including enough of Lily and Rylan. Very soon I started to care about the new characters introduced. Again the sequel tension/ descriptions of the sequel tension is tedious and cheesy and while it does take away from the story, the story is so good its worth listening through it.

it is a little unbelievable that Dhalia has such trouble around people, yet she was able to go to a university?


I hope the other characters become more involved in the stories to continue the main story line involving original Dr. Whitney. Overall I would recommend this series.

Outstanding

This second book of the Ghost Walkers was intriguing from beginning to end. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

Fantasy

I’m a sucker for suspense with some romance intertwined. This one had a lot of sex (little too much for me), less suspense, but I was still sucked in and enjoyed the book. I had a slightly hard time in the beginning with the reader because of the weird moistening mouth noises of swallowing at the end of sentences (mostly for the female characters), but again still enjoyed.

Nicolas and Dahlia - Blend perfectly together !

Any additional comments?

This series has a little of everything - Action and Danger, Psychic abilities and a lot of Hot Romance...... At the end of Shadow Game Lily and the GhostWalkers were determined to find the other children that Lily's father Dr Whitney had experimented on to enhance their psychic abilities. Dahlia is the first of those children that she has managed to track down but after looking at recordings of her training it seems she has a dangerous ability. Nicolas is sent to find her and let her know that they can help her to live a normal life but when he gets to her he finds she has become the target of deadly assassins. He manages to save her from their first attack but her friend has been taken hostage and Dahlia is determined to save him. She is going to need the help of Nicolas and the other GhostWalkers to rescue her friend and find out who is behind the plot to take her life.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series and Mind Game didn't disappoint. I find the idea of an experiment to increase psychic abilities really interesting and love finding out about the different powers that the GhostWalkers have. Dahlia has a very unusual and dangerous talent which allows her to do amazing things but it comes at a very high cost to her. Constantly absorbing energy from her surroundings and the feelings of others she is easily overwhelmed and when that happens things become explosive, with Dahlia often setting fire to anything around her. Unable to control her powers she is a danger to anyone around her but Nicolas is willing to take the risk to be with her.

Dahlia has been through a lot since she was experimented on as a child, she has had no one she could rely on and has never allowed anyone to get close to her. Her dream of having a family has always seemed an unrealistic one and she has been forced to spend most of her time alone to avoid the affect that other people's emotions have on her. Nicolas is the most cold and aloof of the GhostWalkers but Dahlia breaks down his barriers and allows his passionate side to come to the front. It takes a while for Dahlia to allow Nicolas in but it's well worth the wait and the heat between them is literally explosive!

I enjoyed seeing more of the camaraderie between the GhostWalkers and it was sweet watching them welcome Dahlia into their family. We've been introduced to some more interesting characters who I'm hoping we'll see more of in future books and I'm looking forward to finding out more about the individual GhostWalkers psychic abilities. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book!
