Night Game

Gator Fontenot of the Special Forces paranormal squad must reel in the elusive Iris "Flame" Johnson, a victim of the same horrific experiments that warped Gator--and a red-haired weapon of unimaginable destructive powers bent on revenge in the sultry bayous of New Orleans. But can two people haunted by violent betrayals trust the passion that soon ignites between them? Or is one of them just playing another seductive and deadly night game? From Publishers Weekly At the start of bestseller Feehan's suspenseful third GhostWalker novel (after Mind Game ), Raoul "Gator" Fontenot, a member of the Special Forces paranormal squad known as the GhostWalkers, is looking for Iris "Flame" Johnson, who, like Gator, was a subject of genetic engineering by the late Dr. Peter Whitney. Though Whitney's treatment left Flame with superior physical strength and hearing, he also used her as a guinea pig, deliberately giving her cancer in order to further his research for a cure. After Gator finds Flame in the steamy bayou country outside New Orleans, the pair team up to search for another young woman who has mysteriously disappeared, as clever assailants dog their every step. Though Flame and Gator are endowed with superhuman skills, this captivating story's paranormal aspects never overshadow the sexual tension between them.

The third installment in her Game series sends Cajun ghost walker Raoul "Gator" Fontenot back to his Louisiana bayou home to search for Flame, a survivor of Dr. Whitney's diabolical genetic modification experiments. Flame, who has psionic sonic talents, is in the New Orleans area searching for a missing singer who happens to be a friend of Gator's family. Finding the knife-flinging, rocket-riding redhead quickly is important because lab records show that Flame was intentionally infected with cancer. Gator's work is cut out for him as he first tries to find the elusive beauty and then convince her that he is one of the good guys as they team up to find the missing singer. Gator's wonderful, bright, and intuitive grandmother and warm familial relationships add depth to the story. And Feehan's ability to craft believable characters thrown together in wild, action-packed circumstances makes for a satisfyingly sexy romance. Donna Seaman Copyright American Library Association.
