I’ve been a fan of this series since book 1. And when it supposedly ended after book 5, Noah, I wasn’t ready to let it go. But when I heard that Ms Frank wasn’t done with the Nightwalkers and there was another a new book in the works… well, I was excited. And then to be given a copy for review… well, be still my heart.
So this books starts out with a bang. We’ve thrown smack dab in the middle of the demon’s war and Ms Frank had me in tears in the first 20 pages and something unthinkable happens to set events in motion. And the roller coaster ride didn’t end until the last page. I laughed, I cried, I found myself biting my nails and sitting on the edge of my seat as the the book climaxed with a battle scene.
I enjoyed revisiting old friends as the demon’s battle with Ruth comes to a head. It was fun watching Adam and Jasmine, mortal enemies, circle each other and fighting their attraction, but also banding together against the greater evil. But in reality, the romance in this book was secondary to me as I was totally enthralled with finding out how the arcing story of the rogue demon who was terrorizing her fellow Nightwalkers was going to play out. My only complaint was that I felt the final battle scene was shorter than I expected.
I sincerely hope that this isn’t the last book in the series. I’ve enjoyed this world that Ms Frank has created and always enjoy a return trip to visit the Nightwalkers.
My review originally posted at Romancing the Book.
First off this book takes place three years after the previous books, Noah.
Adam, Jacob’s oldest brother, went missing 400 years ago. Everyone presumed he was summoned but when he turns up right when he is needed most everyone is shocked. Everything has changed since Adam was last seen, especially for the vampire Jasmine. She met him briefly right before he disappeared 400 years ago and since then has been living in an emotionless void. Now these two are fighting their attraction while hunting down the enemy.
While the previous book seemed to drag on this one seemed really quick. Adam and Jasmine quickly imprint and while there was a lot of hold out from Jasmine about it, they both also quickly accepted it. This book takes place over like two days so you can imagine it was a very quick turn around, which sometimes is ok but I didn’t love it this time. But the focus for this book was mostly on the fight with Ruth, which is the only reason I am giving this book a 3 star rating.
I was not a fan of Jasmine in the previous books so as you can imagine I struggled with her in this book. She tries to justify all her bitchiness and pettiness from before because she has been living in an emotionless void since Adam disappeared but it wasn’t enough for me. I did like watching her kickass but that was about it.
Like I said earlier, the focus of this book was more on the fight with Ruth, not the romance. First, I really think Ruth was a great bad guy and I really liked her. I really enjoyed the final confrontation with her and seeing all the different races come together to fight her. This was definitely my favorite part of the book.
While I do have my issues with Frank’s romance I will keep continuing to read the spin-off series because I really love the world she has created. Also I really want to know more about the other races who didn’t get much page time in this series.
