Week 18 Review: Ghostly Game

From Goodreads:

Gideon "Eagle" Carpenter is used to rolling with the punches life has thrown at him. It's the only thing that's kept him alive. He and his team of GhostWalkers have seen and experienced it all. He does his best to live with all the sins written on his soul. Then he hears the laughter of a woman with the ability to erase--even for a few previous moments--the darkness of his past.

Laurel "Rory" Chappel has always been a nomad. She's accustomed to taking care of herself, despite the physical challenges she lives with. She thinks she's too weak to find real love, but that doesn't stop her interest in Gideon from turning into a full-on addiction. He's all rough edges and danger contrasted with a tenderness that makes her feel safe. Still, after a life spent in motion, she's not sure she knows how to stay in one place.

Gideon hopes he can persuade Rory to take a chance on him with every electric touch. But soon, life conspires against him, forcing the GhostWalker to risk everything to protect the woman he loves....

My Review:
Oh, I had a really great time reading this book! I love this series so much, and this latest installment was so great, it was so great to be back with Team 3, and it had a lot of unique elements, which kept things fresh and exciting! Though it was kinda funny having a book called Ghostly Game in a series called Ghostwalkers! Though I can understand where the title came from-they're ghosts even to GhostWalkers! 

Of the new elements, I'll talk about them in no particular order. The first is that Rory doesn't know that she's a GhostWalker, and other GhostWalkers couldn't tell if she was, at first. Which means that she's lead a pretty normal life. She has friends, who are characters in this book, and I really adored their friend group!

Another difference is that when he screws up, she calls him out on it, and ends the relationship. He was in a tough situation, sure, and she doesn't know about the GhostWalker stuff and how they might have been chemically attracted to each other because of Whitney. He still betrayed her trust, and that was a big thing. But I enjoyed watching how things progressed! 

Besides the romance, there's a murder mystery plot going on, with Rory looking like she's an accomplice of the bad guys who were getting killed. Having the cops investigate, that's not something that's happened often in this series, and it was really entertaining to read! 

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait for more! I hope we get more of Team 3, since this is the 3rd book, and Kane and Rose's story was just the two of them, really, without the rest of the team.
