Summary
Jonas "Smoke" Harper has watched his brothers find their perfect mates， never imagining he'd actually meet someone who complements every part of him — even the monster that lurks within。 But his instant connection with Camellia goes far beyond wanting the intelligent， beautiful， and lethal woman in his bed。 They are two parts of a whole， linked to each other and to a larger network that exists everywhere around them。
Camellia has lived on her own for a long time， relying on her unique psychic abilities to keep her safe。 She knows that Jonas was literally made for her， and that makes their addictive connection more dangerous than a thousand enhanced super soldiers。 Once the larger threat looming over them is dealt with she's going to get far away as fast as she can。 Life has taught her that the only one she can truly trust is herself。
Jonas can sense Camellia is going to run — and the hunter inside doesn't want to let go。 Not when he knows how good they'll be together。 So he'll just have to use all of his considerable skills to convince her to stay。。。

Another wonderful bookI didn't think Christine Feehan could expand these warriors any further。 I was wrong！ Jonas and Camellias dynamic is， as expected， magical and enthralling。 If somewhat unexpected。 It reminds us all there are two sides to every story。 Just because you don't know the reason for someone's actions， it doesn't mean those actions are wrong even if they cause hurt and betrayal。 This was a beautiful story that kept me turning pages till the end and wanting more when it finished。 Another wonderful bookI didn't think Christine Feehan could expand these warriors any further。 I was wrong！ Jonas and Camellias dynamic is， as expected， magical and enthralling。 If somewhat unexpected。 It reminds us all there are two sides to every story。 Just because you don't know the reason for someone's actions， it doesn't mean those actions are wrong even if they cause hurt and betrayal。 This was a beautiful story that kept me turning pages till the end and wanting more when it finished。 。。。more

Another great readReturn to Team One。 Revisit what happened and things go wrong。 Distrust abounds。 Cost of believing in others。 We still need retribution。

This book felt like more of the first few books， focusing on the teams， their abilities， what they can do with some hot sex thrown in。 Instead of the last few books where it was a lot of sex， with just a bit about the guys， their abilities and what they can do。 With everyone being so modified， I find I enjoy reading more about that， seeing how the animal and plant dna changed them and how they deal with it。 Being that they are in a group， it seems to help them as they dealt with some really frea This book felt like more of the first few books， focusing on the teams， their abilities， what they can do with some hot sex thrown in。 Instead of the last few books where it was a lot of sex， with just a bit about the guys， their abilities and what they can do。 With everyone being so modified， I find I enjoy reading more about that， seeing how the animal and plant dna changed them and how they deal with it。 Being that they are in a group， it seems to help them as they dealt with some really freaky stuff。 I really liked Camellia and her special abilities。 It really isn't things we've seen before。 I like how she dealt with Jonas and the guys invading her space， how she listened to them while being leery， but ultimately trusted them。 She really brought about some great skills to the team and made them stop and think about what was going on， due to having an outsider's view。The battle with the "bad guys" was a bit crazy， mostly because they had been manipulated so much and it was just luck that our guys weren't more like them。I was glad to see how things ended， glad to see forgiveness given and glad to see a start of a new couple。 。。。more

Being a huge fan of Christine Feehan and all her books I am happy to say Phantom Game was an amazing。 Jonas and Camilla are such an amazing couple。 I was a little afraid of the science portion of the modifications that were made to each of them but even that was able to keep me into the book。 My heart broke for Camilla and what she had been through with not just the Doctor who tampered with her but also those she considered her sisters。 And the strength that it requires for Jonas to get through Being a huge fan of Christine Feehan and all her books I am happy to say Phantom Game was an amazing。 Jonas and Camilla are such an amazing couple。 I was a little afraid of the science portion of the modifications that were made to each of them but even that was able to keep me into the book。 My heart broke for Camilla and what she had been through with not just the Doctor who tampered with her but also those she considered her sisters。 And the strength that it requires for Jonas to get through each day because of his DNA upgrades is awe inspiring。 What an amazing book！ 。。。more

In the continuing saga of the Ghostwalkers， Ms Feehan takes us back to Team One。 Jonas Harper， has a cauldron of predatory animal DNA that he has to tightly control at all times making him believe he is a monster that no woman could ever live with。 Camellia Mist， is one of the original female orphans experimented on in order to creat the Ghostwalkers。 Her DNA is connected with the mysterious Middlemist Red Camellia giving her a connection to all the flora and fauna surrounding her。 A sense of im In the continuing saga of the Ghostwalkers， Ms Feehan takes us back to Team One。 Jonas Harper， has a cauldron of predatory animal DNA that he has to tightly control at all times making him believe he is a monster that no woman could ever live with。 Camellia Mist， is one of the original female orphans experimented on in order to creat the Ghostwalkers。 Her DNA is connected with the mysterious Middlemist Red Camellia giving her a connection to all the flora and fauna surrounding her。 A sense of impending danger sends Jonas and fellow Ghostwalkers， Jeff and Kyle up the mountain where they stumble into Camellia’s home since her escape from Whitney， where her illusions are designed to protect her from the outside world。 Also sensing danger from her plant informants she attempts to trap the 3 of them。 Unbeknownst to Jonas and Camilla they have been ‘paired’ by Whitney to be the perfect couple， when Jonas eludes her illusions， they meet and Sparks fly。 Camellia’s inherent lack of trust， cemented by a perceived betrayal by her sister orphan Marigold， wife of a team two member， makes her hesitant to work with Jonas especially when he insults her DNA makeup which to his surprise and horror he shares on top of the predatory animal stew he was given when he became a Ghostwalker。 He， on the other hand， recognizes her as his woman and despite critical mistakes works throughout the story to make sure she doesn’t run again。The danger that led to their meeting is frightening real and despite the past betrayals and Camellia’s inherent distrust of anyone connected to Whitney， Jonas， Camellia， Jeff and Kyle form a connection that is the best part of this book。 Betrayals are a big part of this story and as you read there are parts that will just make you weep。 In true Feehan fashion after you wipe your tears you will be laughing at the comic dialogue between the characters。 To me， one of the best parts of this story is the mysterious Middlemist Red Camellia。 The research needed to add this critical piece of the story is mind boggling。 I always learn something when reading a Feehan book and the possibilities presented about how this plant works give you a whole new outlook on the plants that surround us in real life。 Another well constructed story with action， camaraderie， family and friendship。 。。。more

What an incredibly complex mind this author has。A question often asked of authors is where do you get your idea from。 I would love to hear Christine Feehans answer。 The Ghostwalker series is on of my top five series。 Soldiers （who volunteer as it's a military project） experimented on by as evil scientist who is supposed to enhance their latent psychic ability。 Only Peter Whitney does far more than that， he works on their brains yes， but he also spliced their D。N。A。 With that of various animals （ What an incredibly complex mind this author has。A question often asked of authors is where do you get your idea from。 I would love to hear Christine Feehans answer。 The Ghostwalker series is on of my top five series。 Soldiers （who volunteer as it's a military project） experimented on by as evil scientist who is supposed to enhance their latent psychic ability。 Only Peter Whitney does far more than that， he works on their brains yes， but he also spliced their D。N。A。 With that of various animals （something they didn't volunteer for） 。 He began by experimenting on little girls （ orphans which he bought from around the world） what he did to them was despicable and Lilly is determined to find these women and make sure they are not suffering。 Turns out though that's not the worst of it， as the series continues it becomes apparent that Whitney went farther still manipulating the women and the modified soldier so each has their perfect genetic match。 Lilly's is Ryland Miller leader of team one and with each book we meet another couple。 We also see a steady progression in the skills and abilities Whitney has implanted in them。 There are four teams （so far） and as with each team there are less problems/side effects from the genetic manipulation， but what Whitney has implanted in them keeps getting more and more out there。 This the 18 th book in the series and sees us back with Team 1 after a long break。 It's great to catch up with them after so long， to see how they are coping now with what was done to them。 What Camillia and Jonas are capable of will blow your mind。 Lilly and Rylands story is the。first book in the series Shadow Game。 。。。more

The GhostWalkers were men who had volunteered to be enhanced psychically so they would be more use to their country。 But Dr。 Peter Whitney also performed experimental gene coding on them without their consent or knowledge。 But because of his connections and the government who wanted his enhanced soldiers， he was untouchable and continues to experiment on people。 Whitney had also experimented on girls and used in vitro to make designer babies he could experiment on。 he ended up making enhanced fe The GhostWalkers were men who had volunteered to be enhanced psychically so they would be more use to their country。 But Dr。 Peter Whitney also performed experimental gene coding on them without their consent or knowledge。 But because of his connections and the government who wanted his enhanced soldiers， he was untouchable and continues to experiment on people。 Whitney had also experimented on girls and used in vitro to make designer babies he could experiment on。 he ended up making enhanced females that were the other half of a pair to some of the enhanced men he had experimented on。 The enhanced pheromones in the pair made them attracted to each other。 Jonas and two of the other members of his GhostWalker team had headed into the forest because one of them had a gut feeling something was off in that direction。 But Jonas came across more than he could have imagined。 An enhanced female who had escaped Whitney's experiments had run and camouflaged herself in the dense mountains。 Only another GhostWalker or enhanced person who had very specific gifts would have been able to find her and Jonas ended up being one of those people。 Camellia had been hiding for a while and she knew that GhostWalkers and some of their wives had made their home in a building not far from her。 But they had no idea she was there and she had no plans to make herself known to them。 So when Jonas was able to find her house and came to talk to her， she wasn't wanting to have anything to do with him but she knew he wasn't going to leave until she did。 At first Camellia had thought that Whitney had sent the GhostWalker team to find her and bring her back to the labs and she didn't trust anything Jonas said。 But then they both realized they were a bonded pair and that attraction made her want to talk with him。 They could both hear lies so while neither of them trusted the other at first， after talking a little and hearing no lies， they sat down and talked a bit more。 Jonas had thought the feeling that he and his team were feeling might have been Camellia but she felt the dangerous threat as well so they knew it wasn't her。 When she， Jonas and his team realize there are other men on the mountain， they go scout to see who they are。 They quickly realize that these men are the reason they all have been having bad feelings about a dangerous threat。 She helps Jonas and his team find out who they are and why they are there and it's bad news， really bad news。 More teams of soldiers are on the way to attack the building where Jonas and his team and families are living。 When they find out why the teams of soldiers are sent they think they have it all figured out but secrets are revealed， feelings are hurt and the team realizes they've been betrayed by someone close to them。 But then there's a pretty good twist and more questions are raised。 All the while Camellia is getting to know Jonas better and they are falling for each other。 She is much more than she seems and is able to help out Jonas and his team during the attacks that happen。 The action in this book was great。I've really been loving liking this series but this was definitely one of the best books in the series so far。Disclosure: I was given an e-ARC of this book via NetGalley but all thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more

A match made - well， a match made by a mad scientist。 The premise for this series is so unique。 I mean， we've all at least heard stories about enhanced super-soldiers， but this one takes it a step further and includes a made for him mate。 Camellia and Jonas have terrific chemistry， a chemistry they can't deny no matter how hard one of them may try。 The beginning of this one was a little bit slow to start， but once things get going， it's fast-paced and the tension is through the roof。 There is al A match made - well， a match made by a mad scientist。 The premise for this series is so unique。 I mean， we've all at least heard stories about enhanced super-soldiers， but this one takes it a step further and includes a made for him mate。 Camellia and Jonas have terrific chemistry， a chemistry they can't deny no matter how hard one of them may try。 The beginning of this one was a little bit slow to start， but once things get going， it's fast-paced and the tension is through the roof。 There is also some catch-up time with past series favorites for those who have followed the series。 The whole thing has a found family vibe， which I love， and the characters are likable and interesting。 There is a lot happening here， but rather than get too far into spoiler territory， I'll just say I thoroughly enjoyed the action， the romance， and the storyline。 。。。more

control of animals and the ability to see through their eyes-Camillia considers the animals under her command a part of her family， as well as controlling the weather， nature and animals; and the application of human characteristic （anthropomorphic） to animals and plants。 Camellia’s powers are akin to the Dark series character Syndil and her family line。 The GhostWalkers series is treading into familiar territory with many similarities to the Carpathian Series。There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including many familiar faces introduced in the earlier instalments: Ryland and Lily Miller; Dr。 Kyle Forbes， and Jeff Hollister-as a reminder， Jeff is the Ghostwalker who suffered a stroke in the introductory story line; Kaden and Tansy Montague; Team Two’s Ken and Mari Norton; Jack and Briony Norton， and Logan Maxwell; Raul ‘Gator’ Fontenont as well as the mention of several other Ghostwalkers and couples。 The requisite evil has many faces。PHANTOM GAME is a story of betrayal and vengeance， secrets and lies， family and friendships， fate and love。 PHANTOM GAME covers but a few days in the life of the Ghostwalkers and our story line couple， and as far as the entire series， only advances a couple of years from the introductory story line。 The action packed premise is twisted and tragic; the romance is intimate; the characters are edgy， inspiring and intense。www。thereadingcafe。com 。。。more

GhostWalker Jonas Harper knows that as an enhanced super soldier creation by the whack job scientist， Dr。 Whitney， he may very well have a perfect mate fashioned for him under the same program。 Jonas has seen several of the other members of his team with connected ones find their mates and even have children。 He sees himself as too much of a monster to ever really have the same chance。 Jonas’s special enhanced instincts tell him not only that a threat is coming to their compounds， but high up in GhostWalker Jonas Harper knows that as an enhanced super soldier creation by the whack job scientist， Dr。 Whitney， he may very well have a perfect mate fashioned for him under the same program。 Jonas has seen several of the other members of his team with connected ones find their mates and even have children。 He sees himself as too much of a monster to ever really have the same chance。 Jonas’s special enhanced instincts tell him not only that a threat is coming to their compounds， but high up in the mountains is a woman who calls to him specifically。 Camellia is his other half in every way including psychically which is most important for them to have any kind of relationship。Camellia grew up under the evil doctor Whitney’s prison-like care being experimented on， literally tortured along with several other young girls and women like her。 Once she escaped， Camellia has lived alone surviving on her unique skills connected to plants and animals in an intrinsic way。 She has some very deadly skills which will work well for combating their common enemy who is threatening Jonas and his two companions’ Ghostwalker unit as well as their families in the compound down the mountain where Camellia lives。 Camellia and Jonas are very drawn to each other even beyond the engineered part of their shared biology。 Because of her past experiences and betrayals， Camellia trusts no one so she plans to high tail it as soon as the battle is won。 Jonas as an elite hunter with animal DNA， never lets his prey go; he has Camellia in his sights。 She brings him a peace and a joy that Jonas thought he never could have because of all of his struggles to stay sane with raging instincts fueling aggression as well as the urge go ballistic in stressful situations。 With the adversaries at their doorstep， Camellia and Jonas have little time to truly get to know each other before they are under pressures from both his team in the compound and their opponents。What is interesting about this story is Camellia’s connection to the flora and fauna including the underground mycelium which is a vast network of very abundant life including wide spread fungi。 She can change the environment around her in a nearly magical way as well as communicating with the animals who protect her。 Jonas believes he is beyond redemption weighed down by guilt and grief for all his has done so after they come together， he sees Camellia as his own personal miracle。 At book #18 in the long running GhostWalker tales， most readers will know what to expect from the action and relationship of these paired main characters as well as Ms。 Feehan’s style and pacing which can get verbally lengthy at times， but these stories continue to be an enjoyable series。 。。。more

While Ive only read the first half of this series picking it up at this point felt like returning to visit old friends。 I think that while its possible to read this as a standalone， you should have at least read the first few books in the series to really understand alot of the undercurrents， and why our characters are feeling and acting the way they do。 This series follows Ghostwalkers who are genetically enhanced men， and the women they fall in love with while trying to take down the maniac th While Ive only read the first half of this series picking it up at this point felt like returning to visit old friends。 I think that while its possible to read this as a standalone， you should have at least read the first few books in the series to really understand alot of the undercurrents， and why our characters are feeling and acting the way they do。 This series follows Ghostwalkers who are genetically enhanced men， and the women they fall in love with while trying to take down the maniac that did horrible experiments on them all。。 This book follows Jonas a member of our original Ghostwalker teams。 He and a couple others are headed up to the mountain because he can sense something that could be dangerous。。 However he ends up finding Camilla， one of the women who was rescued in a previous book that Dr。 Whitney （the man who did the experiments and made the Ghostwalkers） also kept prisoner from the time they were children。。 Doing horrible experiments on them， making them special， and genetically pairing them off with one of the Ghostwalkers he made。 Turns out that Camilla and Jonas are a pair。。 As soon as they meet they know they were literally made for one another。 but before they can spend any real time together they have to deal with the danger they can both feel。。 Camilla knows that as much as she wants to be left alone in her little mountain hidey hole， that she needs to help the other women in the Ghostwalker compound。， many of whom she grew up with。。 So she decideds to help and see where the feeling between her and Jonas will go。 Their chemistry is on fire， and while I don't love the instalove/ lust trope， I do like them as a couple。 Especially after they have managed to spend some more time together and start really sharing about themselves。 While the very beginning the story is a bit slower as Jonas and Camilla meet each other and hes trying to talk her into coming with him， but after that the action starts and is pretty much nonstop until the very end。 I really loved getting some peaks at how previous couples in the series are doing。 Gator and Flame witll forever be my absolute favorite！！I think ill read the previous books that Ive missed so I can see what led us to this point， and Iam curious as to where this series is going to go from here。 。。。more

Camellia。 We also have some other involvement from some of our old favorites that was the icing on the cake This review was originally posted on Addicted To RomanceFirst ImpressionsPhantom Game is the most recent addition to the Ghostwalker series and this was purely delightful， I had quite a bit of fun with this one。 It was quite interesting because we got to see some unique dynamics that we don’t normally see here and I really loved seeing a couple come together like what we have in Jonas and Camellia。 We also have some other involvement from some of our old favorites that was the icing on the cake and if you are a fan of the series then you will come to really love how Feehan handled these interactions and see what all of the factors make sense and the manner in which they come together。 And there is an overarching plot to the series where we get further answers as well and I really had such a fun time with the quick-witted bantering that comes into play here。 I will admit that I didn’t know where Feehan was going to take this story， but I really admired the development of the plot and the depths of growth we see in the romance。SummaryJonas “Smoke” Harper is a phantom walker and has always felt different from the other and in many ways feels like he is a monster and not worthy of living at times。 But seeing the way his brothers have found their mates， he has always had the hope for finding that for himself。 When he walks into a garden， he never expected to find his other half and even though he knows that Whitney paired them， he feels a connection to her that no manipulation of genes could develop。 She is a woman that steals his breath and inspires him to be a better man。 Camellia has always had an affinity for growing nature， she connects to it in a way that is purely magical。 She has been on the run from Whitney， hiding a valuable plant that is rare and if Whitney knew of its abilities， would destroy in order to possess it。 Camella knows whose compound lives close， including those sisters she developed a bond with as a child。 But she is a lone wolf and prefers her solitude。 What she doesn’t expect is a male to enter her domain， a man she can’t determine if he is good or not。 But when she feels the connection to Jonas， she knows that he is different。 But when its discovered that they are all in danger and a team is being sent out to destroy them all， Jonas and Camellia join forces with the others to bring a stop to the force that would murder innocent children with their vendetta。 But a powerful love will be formed between Jonas and Camellia， one with epic proportions of desire and true depths。What I LovedPhantom Walker was such a pure delight and I had such a fun time with this one here。 It won’t be a story that you will expect， in some ways， it was quite different but it definitely follows the lines of similar Ghostwalker books so if you are a fan of the series as I am， you will have a good time with this one。 It was quite interesting to see this pair come together。 I really have always liked Jonas， he has always had an air of mystery surrounding him and I was so happy when I learned that he would be the focus of the story。 But we also get some fun stuff with all of our past favorites （if you loved the earlier books in the series you will adore seeing all the characters we get to see like Ryland and Lily， Gator， the Twins and their mates and they all play a vital role） We also get some side action of a marriage drama between Ryland and Lily and I had such a good time with how this played out in the story。 I had such a fun time with the romance as a whole between Jonas and Camellia。 They are both so unique in their talents， and I especially enjoyed seeing how they build their relationship。 They have such strong personalities so it’s not an “all in” from the getgo type of romance。 It does take time for trust to be built， and I really liked the slow burn smexy aspect of it。 It was quite refreshing in many ways。 As for the suspense arch of the plot， I will say that Feehan knocked it out of the park。 I was on the edge of my seat throughout so much of the book because I was really curious how our team would fight and defend themselves and some factors built into the story which I didn’t expect。What I Struggled WithThere was a couple of things。 The pacing was off in some ways and the ending was way too abrupt and I wanted a more detailed focus on solving the crisis that forms between Ryland and Lily as it was built to a crescendo and wanted more from that than what we see at the ending。Overall ViewPhantom Game is a fiery hot of a read that is bound to keep you enthralled with the vibrancy of romance， the familial connections of this brotherhood， and the intensity of thrills that will bring such delights to the reading experience of it。 FEEHAN DEFINITELY DOESN’T DISAPPOINT。 。。。more

It was really awesome to come back to some of the original Ghostwalker team characters in this newest novel in the Ghostwalker series！ The team with the most problems as Whitney hadn't yet perfected his process even after having experimented on female children for over twenty years， Jones is a member of Team One。 He and his team mates experienced the worst of the problems and made it possible for Whitney to continue his experiments on three more teams。 If you read the Ghostwalker series， it has It was really awesome to come back to some of the original Ghostwalker team characters in this newest novel in the Ghostwalker series！ The team with the most problems as Whitney hadn't yet perfected his process even after having experimented on female children for over twenty years， Jones is a member of Team One。 He and his team mates experienced the worst of the problems and made it possible for Whitney to continue his experiments on three more teams。 If you read the Ghostwalker series， it has been a while since we've had a story from a Team One character so following Jones and his discovery of Camelia， which we were introduced to briefly in Mari and Ken's story in Deadly Game was really great。 Camelia talents were different and fun to experience and the plant knowledge thrown in， whether it's true or not， made for interesting plant theory。 I thoroughly enjoyed their coming together， getting an insight into the compound that Team One had built since the last time we interacted with them， and above all， getting the sneak peak into the characters from back in book one， two， and three: Shadow， Mind， & Night Game。I received this novel as an ARC from Edelweiss+。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Captivating and tense， a fun read。 It's been a while since we've been back to Team One， so it took me a little bit to remember Jonas。 I liked seeing familiar faces， and Jonas and Camellia's powers were intriguing and new。 Her gift felt similar to Libby Drake and Seychelle Dubois， except she seems to have a little more control over it， but only barely。The antagonists felt a little weaker in this story， but the action was strong and the found family theme prevalent。 Overall， a great addition to th Captivating and tense， a fun read。 It's been a while since we've been back to Team One， so it took me a little bit to remember Jonas。 I liked seeing familiar faces， and Jonas and Camellia's powers were intriguing and new。 Her gift felt similar to Libby Drake and Seychelle Dubois， except she seems to have a little more control over it， but only barely。The antagonists felt a little weaker in this story， but the action was strong and the found family theme prevalent。 Overall， a great addition to the series。 。。。more

Let me first say that when it comes to blending DNA with animal and plants， Ms。 Feehan is one of the more creative writers。 I really enjoyed this one specifically because of our heroine， Camellia。 Can we say Poison Ivy if she was a good guy？ I always felt Poison Ivy in Batman was given a bad rap。 In this book， I am happy to say that Camellia may have been questionable for some， but she is all in for healing the land and growing her amazing flora。To read the rest of my review， click on the image Let me first say that when it comes to blending DNA with animal and plants， Ms。 Feehan is one of the more creative writers。 I really enjoyed this one specifically because of our heroine， Camellia。 Can we say Poison Ivy if she was a good guy？ I always felt Poison Ivy in Batman was given a bad rap。 In this book， I am happy to say that Camellia may have been questionable for some， but she is all in for healing the land and growing her amazing flora。To read the rest of my review， click on the image below to see it on my website。 。。。more
