Reseñas de la Crítica

"In Feehan's latest paranormal, sizzling sex scenes both physical and telepathic pave the road to true love for brilliant billionaire scientist Lily Whitney and Captain Ryland Miller, the leader of a squad of psionically gifted soldiers who have been imprisoned and separated from each other after receiving life-threatening enhancements. When Lily's father called her in to consult on a top-secret project he was working on for the government, he had no idea that he was signing his own death warrant or that his beloved daughter with her psychic talents would witness his murder and become a target for the traitors who were bending his project to their own evil purposes. Ryland lends his psychic strength to Lily and ignites a passion that brings him and his men into her high-security estate. Action, suspense, and smart characters make this erotically charged romance an entertaining read." ( Booklist)

It's been years since I listened this book but I remembered really liking it so I decided it was time to listen to the audiobook again. I love the idea of the modified group of hero's and that the government is afraid of what they created in these men. I love the physic abilities, that is why this series stands out above all the other special ops hero books.

I really enjoyed Lily and Ryland working together to get the team out of the wrong hands and to protect Lily after her what happens to her father. I loved all of that but what i could have done with out is the insta-love. I really can not get into a love that has no history and on that same note, there is nothing worse than a twenty something virgin heroine who gives up her virginity the first night, why hold on to it for that long then just give it up. That just doesn't work for me. Besides that, I love the plot and where the series is going on from here.

The narration was great. He does a great job with all the voices and different accents. It's always great to listen to someone that doesn't narrated every audiobook released.

Ghosthunters series - a must! Can't put it down!

If you could sum up Shadow Game in three words, what would they be?

Simply fabulous people. I am so loving the character in this series!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Shadow Game?

The psychic skills of the characters are fantastic!

Have you listened to any of Tom Stechschulte’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

His voice is great and all the characters have their own voice. I can see and hear them in my mind.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed a lot and felt terrible for the victims of Lily's father!

Any additional comments?

Can't wait to read the next in the series!

Half a story here!

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I would say I enjoyed half of the time I spent listening to this series.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Leave out 95% of the raunchy sex and continue to develop the characters.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Tom Stechschulte?

Yes, not my favorite however.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

I would read some reviews before making that decision.

Any additional comments?

I purchased this entire series before listening to any of the books. It was a big mistake and a lesson learned the hard way. I read the description and saw "best selling author" and was not prepared for what I heard. Please read the reviews from others before spending your money. I loved HALF of each book; the actual Ghostwalker characters were appealing and their abilities interesting. If 95% of the nauseating, tiresome, and repetitive sex scenes had been replaced with additional story lines I'd be a huge fan. I felt like the author cheated by repeating the same sexual encounter over and over to fill out each book. I am not opposed to a bit of romance but these ad nauseam descriptions prompted me to perfect my ability to fast forward through the audiobook.

Fun listen.

Good reader and interesting plot. Maybe a little too much sex for some. Great rainy day book.

Great series

This is a great series. Each book can stand alone but I found it more enjoyable to read in order. I can't wait for the next one in the series (Ruthless Game) to come out. Tom Stechschulte as the narrator really enhances the story. I totally recommend this book and the rest in the series.
