Just a little update....
So I'm still reading Predatory Game since I've been swamped with work and have had little time to read, but I am really enjoying what i have read so far. I absolutely adore Kadan, he is just the cutest of them all. He is also the toughest and the one you don't want to run into when he is angry. Which I think is what makes him so cute because when it comes to Tansy he appears tough, but is putty in her hands when she knows what buttons to push. Which is why I enjoy Tansy because she appears fragile, but in reality is a very tough chick that can use her skills when she needs to. Her gift takes a massive toll on her, but yet she still uses it when she knows it can help people in need. Their relationship is also different then those that have come before them. It isn't as explosive as the ones before. Kadan has all the qualities and the pervious men, but Tansy isn't as explosive, but at the same time her feelings for him are very strong and she is determined to stay by his side. Explosive or not it is still melts my heart when they are together and interact. I'm well into the story and man is there a lot of things going on, but when I do get the chance to read i can't put it down. So that's all for now and I need to continue to read.

Predatory Game by Christine Feehan
I've recently finished Predatory Game the sixth installment of the Ghost Walker series. Our hero is Jesse Calhoun and our heroine is Saber Wynter. Now before I went into it my thoughts were why Jesse. When Jesse is first brought into the series he was Dahlia's handler, I didn't think much of him at the time. So I thought it was a bit unnecessary to have a whole book dedicated to him. Then we have Saber who has a powerful gift and a dangerous one at that. This I believe was the fault in our heroine, she had a dangerous gift, but it could also be used for good. But it didn't seem like she was willing to learn what it could be used for. She only know the bad sad and ran from it in a way, she has always been on the run and basically is scared of it. Now in the beginning of the book the two of them have been living together for some time now, but neither of them really knew what or who the other was. Again another flaw in the book. This created a rollercoaster of ups and downs that I just did not want to be apart of. I'm not saying it was the worse book in the world, but isn't in my top 10. There was jus constant back and forth between the two about her wanting to run away and him not letting her go, but seriously we all know she was never going to actually run away from him. Saber's personal demons were just always getting in the way and to top it off she ends up having a stalker that doesn't really have much to do in the story all it does is add more unnecessary drama. The biggest thing I didn't like was that she was trained to be an assian at a young age, but she let that completely ruin herself. Having lived with the things that she did can cause some serious damage, but at the same time I would have liked her to have more strength. There was also a lot of talking between to two of them, but my favorite parts were when the rest of the team was involved. IN the end though I did grow to like Jesse, but he still isn't my favorite and Saber was just lacking in spots in my eyes. All in all their story isn't really needed, but you do learn some very important information connected with Whitney and the damage that he continues to cause.

I'm back
So it feels like it has been forever since I last wrote a post, but in reality it's probably hasn't really been that long. Anyways I am out of my little slump and back on my way to finishing twenty books by the first day of classes. Being in a slump is never fun especially if you are like me and love reading every second you can. It can be hard with all my jobs and needing a little social time, but I always manage. Some may think I'm crazy, but come on reading about a different world is so much better than living the life I currently live. Anyways I am making my way throw Christine Feehan's Ghost Walker series. I was a little stuck on Gator's book Night Game, but was I was in I ran with it and couldn't stop reading. Then After Gator's book I moved on to Jack Norton's book Conspiracy Game. Let me just say I love when the hero is tortured and doesn't think he is right. Jack Norton is just that, coming from a family that is truly damaged. His father was obsessed with his mother and did not like her around anybody not even her own children. His father was so out of his mind that he eventually killed her. This would obviously caused issues in the future to both of the Norton twins. When it comes to falling in love Ken and Jack have no idea what they are doing. But one of the things that they do know is that they have each others back. The camaraderie between jack and Ken is so lovely and perfect that you look forward to when they interact with each other. I love a good set of twins and the Norton twins are PERFECT I love them so much. Now obviously Ken has to get a book and it follows up after Jack. Jack's heroine is Briony who was apart of a circus and had to deal everyday with the fact that she felt everything around her. Now on the opposite end Ken's heroine is Marigold, Briony's twin sister. How fitting that the twins would be paired up. Now Ken is known to be the easy going twin, the one everybody is friends with. In reality the image Ken shows is nothing of what he really is. He is extremely damaged inside and out, after being tortured and skinned alive in the Congo. Now Ken may not be the favorite twin after reading both of their books, but he is my favorite twin. Their is just something that I couldn't stop reading about. In the book he is suffering from PTSD and thinks that he is going to end up like his father. Both twins have this thought, but what they don't see is that their life experiences have stopped them from ending up like the old man. Now the heroines are completely opposite, Briony is sweet and slightly more submissive. Marigold on the other hand is dominant and won't do anything she doesn't want to do, she will fight with everything that she has. What I like about them is that they are different. Marigold was kept and continued to be experimented on in one of Whitney's compounds. Both very different, but at the same had to deal with a tortured life. At the end of Ken's book they finally meet and Mari doesn't know what to do. She has only lived the life of an experiment. I would live to see what would come in the future. I do hope that Feehan brings back these two couples and show how far they have gone. Now after loving Ken, Jack and Gator I am on to Jesse Calhoun. Jesse is apart of the SEAL Ghost Walkers, same as Ken and Jack. Jesse was mentioned in Nico's book, he was the handler for Dahlia. In that book he had been injured and became paralyzed from the knees down. He has his own book and I'm interested in what will come out of this book. He isn't as involved in the field anymore, so what is there that he could be doing. I have a feeling this book may be more informative instead of action so we will have to see.

What I've been up to...
So it's been a few days since I've gotten back from Mexico. It was a very relaxing trip full of sun and sitting by the pool. I started a new series at least new to me by Christine Feehan while I was there. it is her Ghost Walker series and boy am I in love with the heros in the story. I finished the first installment with Ryland and Lily and I was very pleased with how the relationship carried throughout the book. This has been a first for me in the adult generes where I am not reading about vampires. I was a bit worried about reading this series, but I have been preparing for it. I did this by picking authors that still had something along of vampires but not as much as like Ward. SO now I'm on Feehan and there are only enhanced group of men that have military backgrounds. The one thing that I truly love about this group of heroes. The way Feehan writes them interacting is just the best. I get the same feeling as when I read the interactions between the Brotherhood. They are a tough badass group of men, but tat the same time they are just a group of men that stick together and support one another. But of course there are the heroines and so far with the first two I was not disappointed. She was quirky, independent, adorable when she rambles on her own. When I started though I was a little slow to start it. I think it was because after reading the Moon and More I was a little sluggish. Once I got into it though I couldn't stop. I've read Shadow Game and Mind Game. out of the two Mind Game caught my attention more because of the hero Nicolas Trevane, he is the right hand to Ryland who is the leader of the group. There is plenty of action which in the past few months I really enjoy in a series. Now I am on the third installment which is called Night Game. The hero in the story is Gator and needless to say I am excited for his story. In previous appearances I have gotten the feeling that he is the type of character that you could just hang out with and have a good time with. And the heroine in the story is Flame and from the hints about her she seems like she is going to be a tough one. She is what they call an anchor. This means that she has stronger barriers and can control the bombardment of feelings coming at her from those around her. She also has simliar abilities as Gator which should make for interesting interactions. So hopefully I won't be disappointed, now to get reading.
