Lethal Game is available now:
Synopsis:
The sparks of unexpected passion ignite in this electrifying GhostWalker novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan.
When Malichai Fortunes attacks a problem, he does it full force–a habit that earns the GhostWalker a painful injury and a forced vacation in San Diego, California. With nothing but physical therapy on the horizon, Malichai is starting to get restless…until a striking blue-eyed blonde makes all his senses come alive.
Amaryllis is kind and warm and sees beyond Malichai’s rough exterior, but he can tell there’s something she’s hiding. Her innate healing abilities indicate she might be a GhostWalker–albeit an untrained one. Malichai doesn’t think their crossing paths is anything more than coincidence, but he can sense that one wrong word could send Amaryllis running.
When strange events at his temporary retreat put Malichai on high alert, he knows he won’t be able to deal with the threat and keep his woman safe in his weakened state. But calling in his brothers means telling Amaryllis what he really is, and revealing that he knows the truth about her too..
My Review:
The 16th Book in Christine Feehan’s Ghostwalker Series, Lethal Game does not disappoint. Malichai Fortunes epitomizes the professional solider, chiseled and full of heart ,who cares deeply about his mission and the men of his unit. Wounded during a desperate rescue mission that opens the book, he suffers repeated consequences that not only frame the love and passion he eventually feels for the mysterious Amaryllis, but also his spirit and that of the Ghostwalker’s themselves. Amaryllis is beautiful and caring, but a mysterious somewhat aloof figure who Malichai woos in a sweetly romantic way. Their heat blooms slowly grounding readers in a reality that works with the fabric of the book. Now well established the Ghostwalker lore is intricate and more a possibility in today’s world of genetics and science than ever before. That well written backstory compounded with impeccable research and detail on the US military provide context that makes the whole thing just FEEL true. While Lethal Game is still romantic fantasy, this gritty love story and the rich detail about our fighting forces make it engrossing. I can’t wait for her next book.

IN HER WORDS:
I’ve been a writer all of my life — it is who I am. I write for myself and always have. The ability to create pictures and emotions with words is such a miracle to me. I read everything; I mean everything! All kinds of books, even encyclopedias. I am fascinated by the written word and I love storytellers. It is a great privilege to be counted one myself.
