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...
When Malichai Fortunes suffers an injury, he is strongly encouraged to take a vacation to California to recoup. He does not relax well and finds himself getting friendly with the staff of the B&B he is staying at.
Amaryllis is beautiful, sweet, and seems to also have some special gifts. He is sure she is one of Whitney's experiments, but it is a delicate balance between outing himself or her. But as they spend time together it is obvious that they are drawn together. These books are almost always insta-love, but it has been established that Whitney created bonded pairs so it does not bother me that they form quick attractions and attachments.
And Malichai seems to be having issues healing and the situation is becoming more dire and will require assistance from his brothers. And that means exposing his secrets to Amaryllis and hoping she does not run scared.

And strange things seem to be happening around them. Whispers of murder, attacks, threats, and a possible large scale target. So this Ghostwalker vacation is anything but peaceful and relaxing...it might just be as deadly as any mission.
I was engaged from the start and enjoyed the storyline and the end, but somewhere in the middle it started to drag and seem somewhat tedious to me and it took me longer to read it. These books are always longer than most usual romance reads and have a lot of detail so it is understandable. There were a lot of antagonists, conspiracies, and events to keep track of leading up to the climax. But I loved Malichai and Amaryllis, and how they were able to explore their new relationship and build trust. And also how his brothers and teammates rallied around him while Malichai was going through a difficult situation. My heart hurt for him and what he was dealing with.
This installment brings suspense, action, mystery, romance, steam, and emotion. This world is so richly crafted and intertwined. This brings back his brothers Ezekiel and Mordichi as well as many of the other Ghostwalkers. I love revisiting all of the unique characters with their special skills. They are such a devoted and accepting group. I hope that we see his brother, Mordichi or his old friend, Rubin get a story next.

Hailed as "the queen of paranormal romance" by J.R. Ward, #1 New York Times bestselling author “Christine Feehan continues to amaze readers” (The Eternal Night) with her phenomenal novels. Now, from the author of the Dark Carpathian series, comes the newest in Christine Feehan's explosive GhostWalker series…
GhostWalker Wyatt Fontenot knows the price he paid for the secret military experiments that gave him his special catlike abilities. After all, he left his bayou home a healer and came back a killer. While Wyatt and his GhostWalker brother Gator may have known exactly the sort of game they were getting into, Wyatt never anticipated where it would lead—or to whom.
The swamps hold many mysteries, but few are as sinuously seductive as Le Poivre de Cayenne. The woman the locals call Pepper is every bit as enigmatic as the three little girls she’s desperately trying to protect. From what, Wyatt is soon to discover. Right now Pepper needs a man like Wyatt. Passionately. But her secrets are about to take them both deeper into the bayou than either imagined—where desire is the deadliest poison of all.

In the new GhostWalker novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Viper Game, a trained killer meets his match in a woman whose very kiss can stop a heart.
The Cajun dive in the middle of the godforsaken swamps wasn’t exactly Trap Dawkins’ idea of fun. But the GhostWalker wasn’t there for a good time. He was looking for her. Cayenne. It’s where she found her victims. Poor suckers. Then again, who wouldn’t want to leave a place like this with a woman like her?
It’s not Cayenne’s fault. Locked up, experimented on and never knowing kindness, she was bred this way—with a heart of pure venom. Trap understands her. He survived his own dark past and he shares her desire for getting even. But now Trap’s greatest danger is Cayenne herself. Because what’s inside her is hard to control—especially when it’s aroused by a lover as reckless as Trap.
