Noah

Noah by Jacquelyn Frank

What was this book about?

Noah is the demon king. He has been having crazy dreams and knows it is now time to find his soul mate. When he finds her he realizes it may be too late. Thankfully he can use both the child Leah and the Druid Corrine to find her and save her.

He does find and save Kestra, bringing her back to his castle. But Kestra isn’t going to roll over and let him take care of everything. She is threatened by him and his emotions (as she has had many bad experiences that have left her this way).

Can Noah convince Kestra that his love is real? Can she love him back after her own problems? Add into this an unrestful kingdom and everyone is in danger if they do not figure out how to deal with everything new that has been thrown at them.

What did you think about the book?

I have enjoyed the “Nightwalkers” series for the most part. Some books I thought were better then others but the idea of Druids and Demons and finding your soul mate is always something that I will enjoy reading about.

I don’t know if this book is the conclusion of the series (I definitely hope not) but for me this in many ways closed out parts of the books. I guess there are a few characters I would like to see find love – but Noah was big on the list of “people” that needed to do so.

I enjoyed the book – a strong woman character – who has trust issues being loved by a man who can’t help but love her heart and soul. She doesn’t know how to take it.

The only question for me was what about the prophesy at the beginning of the book. She isn’t supposed to be able to have children – does that mean she is going to? Will we find out in the next book?

What books that you have read have left you unsatisfied with the ending? That you wished would go on just a little bit more? (And not just cause you love them).

Gideon

Gideon by Jacquelyn Frank (Nightwalkers Book 1)

What was this book about?

The Daemon world has been totally changed by the relationship of Jacob and Bella (in Book 1). They are now expecting a child and everyone knows this is the future of the Daemon world and they must protect it. Gideon is the healer for the Daemon’s and is years old. He has known Magdelegna (Legna) since she was a child, but recent feelings for each other cannot be denied.

They have Imprinted – and having two Daemon’s imprint is quite rare. They need to work through the issues that Imprinting brings as well as figure out who wants to kill Bella and her child.

What did you like/dislike about the book?

It is almost one big story (the Nightwalker Books). It continues on from story to story but at the same time doesn’t leave you feeling like you aren’t going to get a conclusion in the story that you are reading. You meet characters in early books and are able to follow them to “where they belong”. And once they are “done” with a couple they don’t leave totally, they just are not as much of a focus as they once were. And they aren’t a gratuitous pop-in just to let you see them – they have major character and plotline development. I can’t wait to see what happens to Noah and Damien.

Also if you want to take it to another level – the book shows you that just sticking to your kind will end with the destruction of all. You need to have friends that are Druids, Lycanthropes or Vampires. You need to mate with them and continue your races with them or the world will essentially end.

Jacob

Jacob by Jacquelyn Frank (Nightwalkers Book 1)

What was this book about?

Jacob is a Daemon who enforces the laws of the community. He must keep Daemons from hurting humans. When he meets Isabella, he can’t help but be drawn to her. She is human but also seems to have skills and abilities that humans should not have.

From there it is a journey to discover why Isabella seems to be able to do what she can do. Does this mean that Jacob and Bella can be together? (Since currently that is outlawed for fear that it would hurt the humans).

What did you like/dislike about the book?

I enjoyed this book. It shed light on many things I hadn’t really totally understood about the Nightwalkers. Starting at the beginning of this series isn’t required but nice to fully understand all the intricacies of what is happening later on.

What genre would you consider this?

Paranormal Romance

Overall: B, I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Elijah

Elijah by Jacquelyn Frank (Nightwalkers)

What was this book about?
Captain of the demons (which in this case the demons aren’t like what we think demon’s are), Elijah is surprised by an attack. He is left for dead by those who are his enemies in a land he knows nothing about. Elijah is found by the Lycanthrope queen Siena and taken to a cabin in the woods to heal. They try to fight their unwavering attraction for each other. He loves her, but she has a history that she needs to fight. She has no intention of ever marrying and putting her people in jeopardy.

What was your favorite part about this book?
I had not read any of the other Nightwalker books. They are inventive and combine demon, lyncanthropes, and vampires in an usual way. I especially like seeing and being part of all the characters that I have yet to read their books (but now I will have to).

What was your least favorite part about this book?
It took me a little bit to get used the fact a demon wasn’t something necessarily bad. I am used to demons in other books as being bad guys and the word itself has a context associated with it in my mind that made it hard to get over.
