Feehan's latest book centers on Ghostwalkers and lovers Mack and Jaimie. A key plot point is that Jaimie left Mack 2 years earlier when he refused to fully believe her suspicions about Whitney, the program's founder and also when Mack was unable to confirm his love for her. (Can't live without her, but also can't say he loves her or commit to a future.)

The separation was devastation for both of them and the book seems to spend more than half its plot revisiting their angst over and over again, making it a sometimes boring read.

It's not a horrible book, nor a great one. The main characters were "okay" but not anyone I'm dying to hear more about. The spy-like intrigue is not as much as other Ghostwalker books, so there are more limited chances to see their special abilities in action. I felt like 60% of the book involved them skulking around Jaimie's warehouse/home and reviewing the same emotionally-riddled topics repeatedly.

For the most part, the book has all new characters with only a few brief mentions of other Ghostwalker characters. That's a shame, because the interactions from previous characters are often interesting.

It's an average, "okay", middling book - which is a shame, because I was really looking forward to a dynamic new story.
