Predatory Game

Predatory Game is book 6 in Christine Feehan's GhostWalker series. In this installment, Saber Wynter is fleeing from Dr. Peter Whitney and his sick experiments when she runs right into the arms ex-Navy SEAL and GhostWalker Jess Calhoun. As they live together, Saber and Jess discover each other's secrets, while staying a step ahead of the soldiers trying to reacquire them for Dr. Whitney's breeding program.

Predatory Game is paranormal romantic suspense at its best. The tension is tight throughout the story, and the action sequence at the end is (forgive the pun) explosive! The main characters, Jess and Saber, are well-developed and strong, and are some of the most deadly GhostWalkers I've seen. As always, Feehan brings back some of her show more "old reliable" characters from previous books - Lily and Ryland, Ken and Mari, and Logan - along with some new faces for future books.

An intriguing mixture of romance and science kept me reading and interested long after I put it down. As the doctor toys with his subjects from afar, the Whitney conspiracy is beginning to accelerate a bit, leaving the reader unsure of friends and foes. Predatory Game was a really satisfying read, and I was extremely happy with the outcome. Of all the GhostWalker books I've read, I have to say, Predatory Game is the most interesting. The storyline and characters captured me like no other book in the series has. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book! show less

Really enjoyed this book. Great interaction with the other team members and with the acceptance (at times very hesitant by some members) of Saber/Winter as a Ghostwalker. Loved both Jesse and Saber - great couple. Looking forward to more info about Thorn. And do we have a new betrayer in the GW ranks?? Will have to keep reading :)

Saber Wynter is running -- from an ex-husband, an abusive past, from something deadly. A temporary job as the Night Siren, the DJ on an all-night radio station, has given her a bit of breathing room, but she knows it's only temporary sanctuary. The ad she answered gave her a job, a place to live, and a protector who doesn't scare her witless, but it can't last.

Jess Calhoon may not know who or what Saber's hiding from, but he knows he'll do anything to keep her safe -- no, make that just plain keep her. Crippled in the line of duty and confined to a wheelchair, the ex-active duty Ghostwalker hasn't given up getting back into action, even if it means taking risky surgical chances to achieve his goal. But when Saber is threatened, and the show more truth comes out, even the combined skills of Saber, Jess and his Ghostwalker team may not be enough to save them.

Feehan's last couple of additions to this series have been a bit shaky, relying overly much on hot sex scenes, and skimping on dialog and character development. I wouldn't give her an A+ just yet, but this is a big improvement. show less

Saber Winter is running from her past, trying very hard to keep on top of her problems, some of which stem from the fact that she's a GhostWalker and she's afraid of what her powers could do. She's also afraid of being brought back in to the project and forced to kill, again.
Jess Calhoun is an ex-officer with the US Navy SEALS, now he's in a wheelchair and owns a radio station. Saber works for him and he's given her a place to stay as well. He's hoping that she will realise that he's in love with her, she's afraid what she could unknowingly do.

Yeah it's pretty predictable, but the characters are quite a lot of fun. Apart from Ms Feehan's facination with small child-like women.

Jesse Calhoun, along with Ken and Jack Norton were introduced in the the second book in this series. He was Dahlia's handler and friend. He was also tortured for information on Dahlia. Ms. Feehan has a wonderful gift for introducing characters that grab your imagination and make you want to know more about them. Don't get me wrong I love all the characters that were introduced in the first book. I mean there were enough characters there to keep the series going for a long time. I was intrigued by Jesse as I am by any character that has a tortured past either childhood or as an adult. I was glad that Jess found someone that matched him so well and was as caring as Saber was. I also like how Ms. Feehan brings in characters from past books show more into each story so you never lose sight that these men ate committed to their team mates and their wives. There is more action in this book because there is a individual threat to Saber as well as a threat to Jesse and his team. When Jess and Saber finally decide to consummate their mutual hot and steamy attraction they definitely burn the house down. This is something else I like about Ms. Feehan, she doesn't seem to have a set formula for sex in a story. It could happen at any time depending on the people she happens to be writing about at the time. Another great story and I have already started the next book. show less

As with many of her recent books, this one too focuses way too much on the sex scenes and not enough on what really could be a great story line. The plot twists and general background story of are really quite good, and could be phenomenal if they were better developed. However, it seems that the characters take a back seat to the increasingly graphic sex.

This one follows Saber and Jess, both ghostwalkers and both living together without a clue of the others past. Jess is wheelchair bound following being tortured and saber is running from her past. They find love and an intersting use for Sabers phychic gifts.

I want to love these characters because I think the whole premise of this series is excellent, but again, I ended up skimming show more huge sections of the book because the graphic sex is repeated over and over again. show less

This was the first book that I have read by Christine Feehan, and I really enjoyed it. Saber is an extremely interesting character, who is constantly running from her past life. She was genetically altered by a scientist who mentally and physically abused her, forced her to do evil things, and trained her to be a killer. She encounters Jess, a Navy Seal, who has also been genetically altered, but by his own choice. They must sort through their feelings for each other and decide whether they are enemies or in love with one another.
