“Christine Feehan's Mind Game is book 2 in the GhostWalkers series. In book 1, Shadow Game, we were introduced to the GhostWalkers, a group of men with advanced military backgrounds and scientifically enhanced psychic skills. Mind Game focuses on GhostWalker Nicholas Trevane, and his mission to find and recover Dahlia Le Blanc, a government operative with astonishing telekinetic talents.

Dahlia is one of a group of young girls bought from foreign countries by Dr. Peter Whitney. As a result of her amazing natural psychic abilities, her childhood is stolen from her by Dr. Whitney, who only wants to experiment on the girls and enhance their psychic capabilities. When the girls are no longer useful to him, Whitney basically abandons them, sending them out into the world without the necessary psychic barriers to protect them from sensory overload.
Now that her father is gone, Lily Whitney has made it her mission to help all the GhostWalkers, and to find the other girls - now grown women - that she grew up with, and help them in any way she can. GhostWalker Nicholas Trevane takes the mission, and goes out to the Louisiana bayou to find Dahlia and bring her back. As he reaches Dahlia's secluded residence, Nico realizes something is terribly wrong. A traitor among the ranks of the NCIS has hired mercenaries to kill Dahlia, and Nicholas must make her safe.
Mind Game is swift-moving and electrifying read. The storyline was gripping - I could not put it down. Feehan has a way with words that keeps you interested in the story. Mind Game has plenty of action and suspense - the story simply grabs hold of you and doesn't let you go. I really enjoyed the banter between the two main characters. It was very believable and extremely entertaining - even laugh-out-loud funny at times.
I love the way Feehan brings all the other characters from the GhostWalkers series together. I can't wait to read some of the next stories! The twists and turns in this intriguing series will definitely keep me reading. ”
“ I was so excited to read Nicolas' story when I met him in Shadow Game. And I was not disappointed. He was a great hero. I loved his ability to stay in control, but also the fact that one person, Dahlia made his ice cold blood turn molten. He can't seem to understand why this one little woman is the person who can turn his brain into mush and light his body on fire, when he is known for his ability to do what needs to be done without letting emotions get into the way. This is why he takes on the mission to bring in Dahlia when she is known to be a potentially dangerous loose cannon from Dr. Whitney's group of young girls he experimented on. I thought that the chemistry and the connection between Nicolas and Dahlia was classic. They are a perfect couple and the scenes of them interacting were memorable and delightful, and not just the love scenes, which were pretty incidiary, if you ask me. This book had a lot more action and intrigue than Shadow Game, and Dahlia is a lot more tortured than Lily was. I felt sorry for Dahlia to be so affected by other people's emotions that they made her sick or made her manifest the excess energy as fire. Her situation is a tough one, but Nicolas is there to help her and protect her every step of the way, and he stakes his claim early on and isn't about to let anything take her away from him. You start the book wondering how this couple can get the happy ending that you crave, but you don't end this book disappointed. I was quite impressed with Ms. Feehan's imagination. I have read and watched books with people who are psychically gifted, but the direction that she took with the subject matter was different and exciting. Mind Game was the kind of book that was hard to put down, and also makes you eager for more stories about the Ghostwalkers. Meeting all this delcious, dangerous men is like getting invited to an All Books One Cent sale (or chocolate, whatever your addiction is). And we get introduced to even more Ghostwalkers who are just as yummy, such as Jess Calhoun, and the Norton Twins. Can't wait to read their stories. Oh, wait, I do have other books I have to read that aren't Ghost Walkers books. But at least I can look forward to more Ghost Walker books with anticipation. Again I enjoyed the cameraderie between the Ghost Walkers and their gentle care and adoption of Dahlia, who has always felt like an outsider, and has lost the little family that she ever had. I really enjoyed this book, and finished it knowing that I am thoroughly addicted to the Ghost Walker series.”

“Hailed as "sultry [and] spine-tingling" (Publishers Weekly) and "intense, sensual, and mesmerizing" (Library Journal), Shadow Game plunged readers into a world of terrifying power and forbidden passion. Now, New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan returns to that exciting world to give us her most breathtaking novel yet.

Dahlia LeBlanc's gifts are also a curse, making it impossible for her to be around others without hurting them. But can she trust her secrets to Nicolas Trevane, a Shadow warrior sent to find her?
Dr. Lily Whitney has found one of the other girls who were experimented upon, at the same time as she herself. Bought from orphanages from third world countries, their pschycic abilities were enhanced, but every defence mechanism they naturally had, was destroyed, leaving their minds wide open for the unfluences from other people. Dahlia is an energy magnet. All emotions have their own energy, and the darker the emotion, the stronger the energy. She can't control that energy, can't be with people for more than half an hour. She just sets fire to objects, houses and people when she gets overloaded.
Nicolas Trevane volunteers to get her to the safety of Lily's house, where she can learn to shield herself. Nicolas is one of the scariest GhostWalkers. A man who keeps himself alone, even among his brother GhostWalkers. A man seemingly without emotion, uncapable of love. When Nicolas arrives at her house in the Louisiana Bayou, her house is under attack, the people who take care of her killed. They are hunting Dahlia, trying to kill her. He saves her, but he cannot save her handler, who is taken to be tortured by the mercenaries. Dahlia has no choice but to trust him, she who has never trusted anyone, not even the few people she loved. Nicolas is an anchor, able to absorb the energy drawn to her, deflecting the most of it. And when Nicholas sees the tiny woman he wants to safe, his heart just misses a beat. The tapes didn't tell him about her nature, her loyalty. They are outmanned and outgunned, and have to escape the island unseen, using their enhanced powers to slip through the men on watch to kill her. When even the safe house isnt safe, they begin to suspect a traitor in NCIS, the governemt agency Dahlia is secretly working for. Only a very few people now about her. They use her to retrieve stolen information for the government. She can blend in, you can look right at her and you won't see her. She can play with gravitation so she can run along a wall or ceiling. Dahlia is shocked and grieving. The assaults, the energy coming at her, it is all too much. Violence is an energy she gets sick from. And the best way to deflect that kind of energy, is by turning it into an other kind of energy, sexual energy. Nicolas' kisses can divert her of her own feelings and emotions, he is the first person she feels comfortable about, she can touch him, worse, she wants to touch him.
Nicolas has never been drawn to a woman like this before, never spent an entire night with a woman, but when he meets Dahlia, he just knows she is the one. But Dahlia never alowed herself to believe she could have a normal life, a husband. So it is not going to be easy to make her think otherwise.
And then the other team members are coming in to help, to ferret out the traitor, and to protect Dahlia. And so she learns she can be with other people, people who can shield their emotions so she doesn't get the backlash. People who tease eachother, who look out for eachother. GhostWalkers, just like her.
Again, I loved this book. A lot. It is very fast paced. You can't help but feel with Dahlia, and what is been done to her and the other little girls. She has been lied to, that they are just her imagination, and when she learns that Lily is real, when she founds out the people she worked with were enhanced by the same men, she is devastated. Why didn't anyone tell her the truth? Would that be so bad? And Nicolas? A real alpha man. He can't stand to see his woman in danger, but he cannot hold her back. She needs it, the challenges to her mind and abilities. And when they are together, the sparks literally fly.
This is a really fantastic series. Those men are all great. I can't wait to start the next book. I have now met the twins, Shady, and you made me curious. I don't want to spoil anything, you girls just have to read this series yourself!”
