Lightning Game (A GhostWalker Novel) Mass Market Paperback – September 28, 2021

Christine Feehan is an amazing writer who brings the characters to life and makes them feel like family. I have never read a book of hers that I don't love. I can't wait to read the next one in the series.

There are many ways to feel lonely. No matter a person’s strength, intelligence, skills. Whether surrounded by those you love, by other people, or completely alone. There are many ways to feel apart from others and the need for connection. Until someone comes along and you see each other for who you are not just what you’re capable of doing. Love builds from this understanding and builds a bond between you stronger than anything else.Jonquille and Rubin are examples of this, thanks to the enhancements the series antagonist, Dr Whitney gave them. Jonquille is forced to be isolated, some of her enhancements are unable to be controlled and are dangerous when around others. Rubin is revered because of his healing gift, those who care about him feel the need to protect him, begin to only see him as this one gift and not the person he is. They are paired by Dr Whitney, giving them the balance and attraction, but how do they move toward love?It’s the people they are. The time spent getting to know each other, in search of knowledge, and due to the need to protect the other, they are brought together. Unaware of how special his gifts are Jonquille comes to know the man he became because of his past and the science he loves, the things he enjoys and the people he loves. By Sharing her past, telling him of her life with Whitney, her mind and the skills others never see, her strength and intelligence and wit, the person she became despite all Whitney put her through and took from her. He moves past this is my paired female to this is the woman I love.Their journey takes place in the wonderful setting of the Appalachian Mountains, Rubin and Diego Compo’s childhood home and their turf, so well written you feel you are there. By the end of the first chapter your heart belongs to these characters and your want their Happy Ever After to work! The relationship of Diego and Rubin, their skills from childhood and enhancements are amazing! The world they shared with Jonquille open her to the possibility she could be part of something, at Rubin’s side she could be around others and belong, use skills of her own that she was denied using most of her life. The banter between Rubin Diego and Jonquille brings wit and humor to the story. The wisdom and mischief of fellow Mountain friends drive the plot and add to understanding. The danger they face, the twists and turns on who is the target, who is the enemy, keep you on the edge of your seat…especially the “I can’t believe Christine did that” moment, even if it’s perfect event to drive the plot.The series also gets a boost in this story with Jaw dropping surprises and grin causing Karma delivered with team 4 and other teams aiding them. By the end the Happily Ever After is so sweet, both of them in love with each other and coming to a new understanding and respect for all their gifts even the ones thought to cause their loneliness. Looking forward to reading what’s next for the Ghostwalkers…

Christine Feehan is my favorite paranormal romance wtiters. This story is very imaginative with lightning at its center. I never would have have had that subject as the center of the story. Then you add my favorite character "Luther" into the mix and you now have the makings of one of my most favorite novels. "Luther" until now was the most mysterious characters.

This story was too short I could read about Rubin and jouquille more 👍👍👍👍💯💯💯🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏❤️😍it's a love story I feel so much for. And I know there is more to un fold. I'm excited for the next book

This was a enjoyable, touching story of love, and family connections of blood, and adopted family.

Jonguille's a healer, a conduit to draw energy from others, as well as lightning. Unfortunately she isn't able to direct lightning, and is afraid of hurting others. She stays isolated as much as possible, but finds out that Military trackers are after Rubin to capture. Believing Whitney is after Rubin, Jonquille tries to lead the Military trackers away from Rubin, but he arrives a week early in the Appalachian Mountains. Instant attraction, and they both realize Whitney has paired them. Rubin doesn't fight the connection, but Jonquille is determined to keep Rubin safe, even if the cost is her life. Almost too late, Rubin realizes that the men are after Jonquille, and her healer abilities.A new villain has appeared, and he wants his own Ghostwalker team, and has been conducting horrific experiments on men.

Having escaped from Whitney and his mad experiments, she is concentrating on finding a way to learn to live with the energy she attracts but can’t dispel safely. From her research, Rubin is her last hope to live a “normal” life.Ms. Feehan knocks it out of the park with Rubin and Jonquille’s story, starting with the Goldilocks scene between Rubin and Diego’s ‘who has been sleeping in my house’, to Jonquille’s comedic response to the brothers telepathic quarrels and expanding on the emotional strain they all face due to Whitney’s enhancements.Their story slowly expands to include backstory of Rubin and Diego’s extended family in the hollers, the questions as to what Whitney wants from their pairing and the inevitable bad guys. As always with a Feehan novel, there are multiple plot twists, subtle and not so subtle hints for stories down the road and the GhostWalker family having your back! Oh and The Love Story woven through it allWell Done!!!

Christine Feehan always writes good books

Good story though I find it interesting that Trap and Ceyanne had twins in Malachi story but all of sudden have triplets in this one.

Like the whole series great to read, written with a lot of love. I simply love the books and cannot wait for the next.

I am done with this one. Normally, I don't give a review in the middle of the reading and nor do I rate it already (I am still reading it. It's done 87% only) but this is just going on and on and on. This reads like a physics book. All those terms, lightning, thunder...lightning, thunder...lightning, thunder, Get a grip. This is boring. It's a compulsion for me now to read it (I paid for it!!) but I regret doing that. I actually liked the concept of Ghostwalkers. Some of Feehan's books were really gripping from the series but this seems like a never-ending sluggish ride. It feels, as if, all the characters are just getting electric shocks again and again. What's with Jonquille and Rubin? They seem to be heavily drunk.

Christine Feehan has brought to life another electric love story from her Ghostwalkers. I laughed, cried and bit my nails to the quick with the drama and fast paced life and death adventure, that is the Ghotwalkers lives. Once you pick this book up, you will struggle to put it back down.
