"Exciting paranormal romance"
Dr. Whitney had experimented on Dahlia La Blanc when she
was four years old resulting in amplifying her psychic
gifts and her inability to relate to people. Part of
Dahlia's people disconnect is due to her realization as a
young child that adults feared her as a powerful mental
freak, but also because she absorbs their emotional
charges that she can only release through a violent
discharge. Years later, Dahlia has recovered stolen intelligence
information for the Feds, but for the most part lives a
hermit's existence avoiding people because excitement on
her part leads to dangerous infernos. Someone assaults
her swampy home and kills her caretakers, but has not
attained the final objective yet when Nicholas Trevane
of "ghostwalkers" arrives at the battlefield seeking
Dahlia; he too is a by-produce of the Whitney
experiments. They must work in tandem to uncover who
amongst their teammates has turned traitor, but the
attraction between Dahlia and Nicholas is so great, she
fears she will combust and take a city with her. MIND GAME is an exciting paranormal romance that not only
stars two delightfully unique characters with an
interesting relationship dilemma (sort of like Ladyhawke)
and the return of the stars of SHADOW GAME enhance the
action. The non-stop action hooks the reader as the
ghostwalker world of Christine Feehan seems real even with
danger, treacherous intrigue, and romance with a fabulous
paranormal twist. Harriet Klausner
