Mind Game FROM OUR EDITORS
The Barnes & Noble Review
Themes of betrayal, trauma, redemption, and love pervade this sensual, action-packed sequel to Shadow Game. Once again, bestselling author Christine Feehan features characters with extraordinary, paranormal powers -- in particular, Dahlia Le Blanc, who is both telekinetic and psychic. The exploitation of her gifts as a child by Dr. Whitney, a notorious and sinister character from the previous book, has left Dahlia damaged and cautious. What's more, someone wants her dead. It's up to Nicholas Trevane, a man with unusual powers of his own, to save her, and as Dahlia learns to trust this solitary man, they fall fiercely in love. Issues of trust aren't the only ones the couple have to deal with: Dahlia generates flames in the midst of violent energy, which means that having sex with her could be playing with fire, literally.

FROM THE PUBLISHER
Hailed as "sultry [and] spine-tingling" (Publishers Weekly) and "intense, sensual, and mesmerizing" (Library Journal), Shadow Game plunged readers into a world of terrifying power and forbidden passion. Now, New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan returns to that exciting world to give us her most breathtaking novel yet.
Dahlia LeBlanc's gifts are also a curse, making it impossible for her to be around others without hurting them. But can she trust her secrets to Nicolas Trevane, a Shadow warrior sent to find her?
FROM THE CRITICS
Publishers Weekly
In Shadow Game (2003), Feehan introduced the GhostWalkers, a group of men with military training and scientifically enhanced psychic skills. This sultry and suspenseful follow-up focuses on the exploits of GhostWalker Nicolas Trevane, who sets out to rescue Dahlia Le Blanc, a government operative with astonishing telekinetic talents, from her secluded residence in the Louisiana bayou. Nicolas's mission is fraught with danger. Not only is Dahlia emotionally unstable (she can make objects go up in flames when she's particularly upset), she's also been targeted by a traitor who has hired mercenaries to kill her. As Nicolas and Dahlia evade their pursuers and attempt to unmask the traitor, they forge a strong emotional bond. Dahlia fears her psychic powers may rage out of control if she makes love to Nicolas, but their passion culminates in a love scene that, while hot, only involves a handful of harmless flames. Feehan's newest offering is as swift-moving and sexually charged as her best vampire romances (Dark Destiny, etc.), with none of their florid prose. In short, it is an electrifying read, one that should satisfy her fans and cement her reputation as the reigning queen of the paranormal romance. Agent, Steve Axelrod. (Aug.)
