Rory is a rolling stone, rarely staying in one place for long. But San Francisco feels different. She has made friends and found a job she really likes. But is she ready for Gideon?
Gideon doesn't like staying still. It gives him too much time to think. And then he hears it...her laugh. It pushes away the darkness. It gives him hope. Until he makes a choice that could cost him everything.
Ghostly Game is the latest in Christine Feehan's Ghostwalkers series. I enjoyed getting to know Gideon better. He is struggling with his demons even as he supports his brothers. But who supports him? I love seeing Rory putting Gideon first. I love seeing Gideon fight to regain the relationship torn apart by difficult choices. I loved seeing family step up to help him fight. I loved seeing both Gideon and Rory look deep to see what they wanted, needed and could accept as they worked toward building something neither had experienced...a loving intimate relationship.
This is a wonderful addition to Ms. Feehan's Ghostwalkers series and I cannot wait to see where Ms. Feehan will take us next.

definitely a departure from the normal writing for Ms Feehan in her Ghostwalkers series but I enjoyed it. Showed a whole new side to her heroes and the way she wanted her relationships to build. Liked the intrigue to and the fact that it didn't revolve entirely around their pasts haunting them. Looking forward to the next one.

Rory Chappel has traveled from place to place for most of her adult life, but San Francisco has offered things she has always hoped for: a nice place to live, a good job, and trustworthy friends. After meeting Gideon Carpenter, she thinks she may have found the love of her life, but he is keeping secrets and there are things about her past that she isn't ready to reveal. Gideon believes that Rory is the other half of his mated pair that Dr. Whitney set up for each of his GhostWalkers, but even though he trusts her, Gideon knows that Whitney may have programmed her as a weapon, and he can't risk exposing her to his family until he knows more about her.
Ghostly Game is a good addition to the GhostWalker series. Even though Dr. Whitney is always in the background of these stories, this one mostly revolves around dangers involving Rory and her friends. The shooting of a police officer and shady characters living in their apartment complex are the main problems in this novel. While the GhostWalkers and their powers play a part in the story, the main conflict is more traditional for romantic suspense. Descriptions of the city of San Francisco are strengths of this story, but deeper character development could have made more of an impact. Also many ideas are repeated throughout the narrative that focuses on telling vs. showing. Overall, Ghostly Game is a light, enjoyable read but doesn't add anything new to the GhostWalker series.

This is the lowest rating I have given for one of Christine's books as she is always a 5 star read for me, but this book was just blah for me. I can normally read one of her books in a day, but it took me three days to read this one as I kept putting it down as it was not holding my interest.
There was no Peter Whitney in the background trying to cause problems, there was nothing unusual aimed at the Ghostwalker team that Gideon is part of, though it was great getting back to some of the characters we have read about before. Everything that was going on was aimed at Rory and the ladies who lived in her building.
I felt no connection between Gideon and Rory. Gideon knew she was his, before even knowing who she was, just from the sound of her laugh. They both fell in love with each other so quickly even though most of their interactions were telepathic. Throughout the book, they actually spent very little time in each others company. There was not really any chemistry, that I could feel between them. There was very little intimacy between them and they did not get fully intimate until the last 4 pages of the book which is REALLY unusual when you have read as many of Christine's books as I have.
I expected more especially as I have read all of the books in this series and normally know what to expect. This book fell really flat. I hope the next book goes back to the usual standards.

Thank you Berkley Romance for my book.
Even though this is the 19th book in the series, I have to say I wasn’t lost or confused while reading. The main character Rory has asthma which I have as well and it was nice to see it portrayed authentically. I loved the theme of found family in the story as both Rory and Gideon had tough childhoods. This story is on the slower side and I felt like the action parts were rushed at the end. Overall, I did enjoy the story and will be looking forward to the next book. Hopefully it will be about Javier?!

I loved this! I am always waiting for the book CF puts out that doesn’t meet my expectations but she absolutely never disappoints. I already want to read/listen to this one again.
