My Review
Diego has come home to die, he's had enough of life and goes to the one place he knows his brother will find him and carry out his last wishes. Diego is a Ghostwalker- an enhanced and experimented on soldier who thinks he's not as good as his brother. Ghostwalkers are men who had volunteered to be enhanced psychically so they would be more use to their country. But Dr. Peter Whitney also performed experimental gene coding on them without their consent or knowledge. And because of his connection and the government who wanted his enhanced soldiers, he was pretty much untouchable and continues to experiment on people. Diego and his teammates are more like family to each other and will help each other out.
Before Diego can get to his cabin, a bunch of soldiers come for his elderly neighbor who is an ex Ghostwalker. But he's not alone, his two nieces are with him and one gets kidnapped while the other gets hurt. Diego has to trust Leila and show her some of his psychic gifts that no one else knows about in order to save her life.
Leila is a surprise because he's never had such a reaction to a woman before and he feels a pull towards her. Once they have both rested and she is healing and feeling better they want to go after her sister but more soldiers show up. Diego and Leila work together to take them out and keep each other safe. But when Diego's brother finds out what's going on and finds out some secrets that Diego has been keeping, the rest of the Ghostwalker team make their way to them to help out.
Diego and Leila's romance was a slow burn because neither of them had ever felt anything like the instant attraction they felt for each other. They let themselves get to know the other as they grew closer and tried to find a way to rescue her loved ones from Whitney before he could experiment on them more. There was so much action in this book, so much fighting so we get to see Leila and Diego in action.
I really liked that the rest of the Ghostwalker team shows up and we get to see how his teammates, the characters from past books and their families are doing. I really loved that. It's nice to see how characters from previous books that you really liked are doing. This is the 20th book in Christine Feehan's Ghostwalker series and I can completely recommend this book as well as this series. But I would read the books in order to understand what has been happening and how it all started. This was a great addition to the series and I am looking forward to reading more.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
Disclosure: I was given an e-ARC of this book via NetGalley but all thoughts and opinions are my own.
