This is a new author for me. so far, I am enjoying her series

This is the fifth book in Jacquelyn Frank's series Nightwalkers. This is a thicker book than all the previous books. I wondered why until I finished it. There is a lot of stuff going on in this book. All the characters are here but it is Noah who is the main character in this book. We are shown different sides of Noah. Some not so pretty. I was glad that J. Frank did this. It gave Noah a more real presence than he has had before. Now we see the torment that Noah has had inside him for many many years. We understand why he has acted to protective to Legna and why it is so hard for him to accept the new feelings he is having concerning a mate. I did find some of the book frustrating with the going back and forth between events and characters. It seemed almost confusing at first trying to follow all that was going on between everyone. Especially when I expected this book to be like the previous books and concentrate on just on main character. For that reason, I did find it difficult to get through. The plot was great, just not so much going on at once. I stuck with the book and decided not to give up on it. I almost wish I did. I was very disappointed at the ending. I felt slighted that it just stopped where it did. Should another one come out I will go ahead and get it in the hopes that it will not leave me hanging like this one did. I cannot understand what J. Frank was thinking by doing this after writing 4 previous great books. As far a recommending, well yes I guess I would but hesitantly. You need to have a bit of patience with this one. ( )

the last book in the series...a disappointing read; instead, the story was very slow and tended to drag a bit....the heroine was a little annoying...expected more from the character Demon King Noah ( )

Like all her previous books in this series, Frank has managed to do it yet again-- create a perfect romance novel that is a combination of lust, love, adventure, suspense, paranormal, hot alpha males, and yes, even humor. Combined with the fact that the book setting's 'world' has vampires, demons, lycanthropes, and many other species in it, all of her Nightwalker books, especially 'Noah' , are brillant books, 5 stars! No paranormal romance reader could ask for more in their books!

Sexy, funny, loving, sad, full of suspense and adventure, and filled with the very hot *literally!* Noah, Demon King, this book is perfect. If you're already a fan, then you've probably already read it or you are reading it right now. And if you are not, then I've got to ask : "Why not?!"

Oh, and a little note to all potential readers out there? Grab a bunch of tissues AND a fan before you read it! Because you will cry at times, and for most of the rest of the book, you'll need something to help cool you down after reading about Noah and his awesome sexy-ness... and his bedroom skills! :) Before reading this book, my favorite alpha male from her series was probably Jacob or Gideon, because they were the first ones she 'introduced' us to (along with some other reasons why I loved them so much), but now I have to say that Noah has taken over the 'Number 1' spot on my list.. Sorry Jacob, Gideon, I promise, you guys are still a close second! ( )

Oh, oh, oh. I'm still riding high after finishing "Noah" by Jacquelyn Frank, book five of her 'Nightwalkers' series. This series has everything I want in a paranormal romance/urban fantasy: mega-hot heroes, strong heroines, vampires, demons, and weres (Oh, my).

Kestra is a successful mercenary who uses her intelligence, agility, and highly trained body. She's also a woman who has suffered horrible loss and lives with survivor guilt every day. Until one evening, on a mission gone bad, she's saved by a walking wet dream that screams danger to her highly trained senses. And even though she knows they've never met, he somehow seems familiar...

Noah is the King of the Demons, but he's alone. For the last six months, he has struggled with his demon urges more than ever before because he's been dreaming of his mate but doesn't know her name or her face. When he finally finds her, it's only to watch her die...and he snaps. He risks everything on a daring experiment to warp time to save her. But even saving her may not be enough, because now he has to find a way to win the heart of a woman so scarred...she may not be able to love. With enemies closing in and Samhain only days away, the clock is ticking for Noah.

I adore this series. And Noah's book is everything I'd hoped it would be. His woman isn't perfect, but she's perfect for him. And Noah must admit his weaknesses to win her heart...a King...admit weakness? This series is so detailed, so intricate, so enthralling--I don't think it's possible to read just one! And the best news is that it's not over. Jacquelyn Frank intends to drive the plot in a new direction with the publication of "Ecstasy: The Shadowdwellers" to be released in early January 2009. You can bet I'll be waiting at the bookstore. ( )

The Nightwalkers have lived in the shadows of our world for centuries, gifted with abilities few humans can comprehend. For Noah, duty is all—until he meets the woman who is his destiny…

SHE WILL TAKE HIM

BEYOND HIS WILDEST DREAMS.

As Demon King, Noah is dedicated to protecting his kind from their human and Nightwalker enemies. Yet for six months he has struggled with vivid dreams that threaten his very sanity. Every night he’s tormented by images of a woman both achingly real and tantalizingly beyond his grasp. And his bone-deep need leaves him no choice but to force her to leave the life she’s known and enter a world beyond her imagining…

Every day, Kestra risks her life in perilous missions that veer just shy of the law, but she instinctively knows that the imposingly sensual figure before her is a danger unlike any she’s ever faced.

Kestra has sworn never to trust or need another man, but Noah’s lightest touch scorches her with fevered desire, branding her as his mate, blinding them both to the terrifying truth. For within the ranks of their own people lies an adversary growing in number and power. And nothing and no one will be safe again…

Desire awakens at night… ( )
