This book is "ok". This is the fourth book I've read in the series (I read 8 first, then 5, then 1-2), and it's probably my least favorite storyline and couple. I found it hard to like either of them. Nico was overbearing and Dahlia's character didn't seem believable. After everything she went through, you would expect her to be distraught for longer than it took for Nico to look at her the right way. I don't know about you guys, but if what happened to her happened to me, I wouldn't be all smiles and rainbows just because a man kissed me. I wouldn't be cured of my despair by sex. And maybe I'm crazy, but Nico sounds exactly like Ryland when he talks to Dahlia. VERY little happens in this book. I would say a third of it is some variation of the same reflection about how Dahlia and Nico changed the other's life and how they can't live without the other. Then there are a few gunshots, like a hundred sparkly sex scenes, and some more pondering the state of their relationship. The storyline has so much potential, but you'll have to look beyond this one to find it.

Love it!

One of my favorite of the Ghostwalker stories but they are all great. Nico and Dahlia are perfect for each other.

In this second installment of the Ghostwalker series, we find Nico coming to the rescue of Dahlia, one the girls Whitney experimented on.

He finds out that there are more enhanced soldiers and one of them is captured by men who want Dahlia.

We are introduced the Jack Norton and his brother, Ken, as well as Logan and Jesse.

Secrets start to come alight when they find out that there is more than meets with these men. These men are all enhanced.

I enjoyed this book a lot.

Nico, a sniper for a special forces unit and a psychically enhanced soldier, goes after a child experimented on by the same scientist who enhanced him. When he finds Dahlia, she is sitting on the floor by her murdered guardian and will not respond to his commands. So, he scoops her up and keeps running before Dahlia's home explodes around them.

Dahlia was experimented on by the same scientist as Nico when she was a child. Determined he could never use her as an operative, the scientist set Dahlia up on an island in the Louisiana bayou. She is now a grown woman with extraordinary and uncontrolled talents.

Readers met Nico in the first book in the series. Being quiet, lethal, and of the shadows, it makes sense readers would want to follow his story.b while he is quickly attracted to Dahlia, the two don't hop into bed together immediately. There is a good bit of plot action and character development in this book. Bi look forward to reading the stories of the other Ghostwalkers.

I am enjoying the GhostWalkers series very much. I was very happy that this book focused on Nico as he caught my attention in book one.
I like Dahlia as his woman and think they make an awesome couple.
Dahlia is a very strong character who has accepted who and what she is and I love that she keeps trying to drill that fact into Nico.
They certainly are an electrifying couple!

It was probably one of the best books I've read of Christine Feehan UNTIL the end. She totally dropped the ball with an obvious fast wrap up and perfectly happy ending. The first book, I could handle the minimal PTSD trigger problems as Lily had had extensive training to help with them, but Dahlia hadn't. Anyone that has gone through trauma has a certain amount of PTSD and therefore Dahlia SHOULD have had triggers galore going down into that hidden section under the house.
If the author wanted a fast wrap up she should have ended with something like
It would take a long time before Dahlia would be capable of handling the secret area below the house but that was ok. She had taken the first step and that was always the hardest and Lily was ok with that. They would work together while they were also rescuing the other women and eventually healing would happen.
Or some such thing at least the ball wouldn't have been dropped so close to a perfect book.
