Okay
I liked the characters, Player and Zyah are great. However, the book repeats itself a lot and has the same conversations over and over. Like if two characters discuss something they will then go talk to someone else and tell them what they just talked about with the other person. It’s soooo repetitive. Also Player and Zyahs powers are pretty undefined. I still don’t full grasp the alternate reality terms for when he makes things appear. I was a bit confused. Definitely not my favorite of the torpedo ink series.

Gedeon "Player" Lazaroff finds his heart. Player has always feared his gift would kill but with Zyah helping he has found his answer and his heart. Christine Feehan continues to build Torpedo Ink into a marvelous series. With Player's book, she has expanded on not only his story but the story of a few others. I think she is building an unusual family with this series and with each book we learn more of each individual and the whole. I anxiously await the next installment.

The best in the series so far because it included characters, connections and a writing style that had made the previous Sea Haven and Drake Sisters series' both so great - humour, friendship, loyalty, overcoming past traumas...
It still included the very sexy, raw, descriptive sex scenes of the other Torpedo Ink stories, but it wasn't so focused on specific sexual kinks like the previous books in the series have, which I appreciated.

Let's start out by saying that Christine Feehan is one of my favourite authors.
Gedeon 'Player' Lazaroff is a member of Torepedo Ink, and we know like all the rest his past has lead him to be the rough, tough, trauma filled man. He's running out of time and he needs rest before he decides what to do. Incomes Zyah who seduces Player with every word and move. They spend a night together that is pure and honest yet Player believes it was all a dream.
I enjoyed the overall story like with the painting and break ins and actually found it was the more interesting part of the book. Anat is one of the best characters in the whole series and her relationships with the other members of Torepedo Ink, in particular Destroyer and Savage. I really appreciated and enjoyed that we got to understand more about Destroyer and Alena. I hope we get his story.
The romance between Zyah and Player was weirdly one of my least favourite things about this story. It just wasnt clicking like the others. It was a good story and different from the others. What I did think was great was the Hannah Drake and Jonas Harrington scenes. They are two of my favourite characters within in this world and it was great to have them back. It was also great to see the surprising friendship blossoming between Player and Hannah.
Admittedly this book took me longer than the others but it did make me cry which is always a possibility with this world.

4.5 I enjoyed their story and chemistry. Ending felt a bit rushed. But I REALLY LOVED seeing old characters from the Drake Sister series!! Loved seeing them interact with this series characters and it feeling natural.

Loved reading this book, these two were so great to read about, and it was a relief after the issues I had with the previous book.

Player is suffering from side effects of his gifts - and the symptoms read suspiciously like Feehan read a bit about a rare condition called Alice In Wonderland Syndrome and incorporated it into the book without actually acknowledging that it is a real condition. Whenever I find literature that does this it reads as lazy and ableist. Name the syndrome in the book and give it some acknowledgement, or else don't use it.
Otherwise, the book was very mild for the series. The decision to protect SeaHaven instead of continuing with the elusive Ghost group Intel that is so hard to come by felt a bit out of character - but I can understand protecting the area. that said I felt that the book dragged quite a bit and that both story lines could have easily been Incorporated for a stronger plot line. It was a nice shift to have the main female character b whole and not in need of anything from the main male character in order to go about their life. A nice shift to have someone who is depicted as complete on her own, and only wanting love instead of needing something from him.
In terms of 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - it was pretty mild for Feehan and was vanilla, esp compared to the kink in the previous book.

I like this series of books but sometimes I wonder where the books are headed so that we can see the rest of the brothers and sisters get into relationships. I also feel that by the end of the book Player still has a problem that I'm guessing is a long term effect of his abilities that won't go away. I'm also wondering if like there's some kind of origin story for people with these special abilities, IDK, I'm just kind of brain farting right now.
