Noah is sure to enchant -- Karen Marie Moning --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Book Description

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 tantalisingly 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 ranks of their own people lies an adversary growing in number and power. And nothing and no one will be safe again.

Great story! I picked it up and couldn't put it back down. Loved the depth of the characters. This has been a great series to read and I will admit I have re-read them a few times already!

This review is from: Noah The Nightwalkers (Mass Market Paperback)
Noah is coming to the edge of his sanity. As a demon, he feels deeply, and during the moon phase of Sahmain and Beltane, if the needs of a male demon aren't met, his insanity grips the better part of him, making him do things he doesn't want to do. Noah struggles with this more and more as the centuries go on, and for the past six months, he's been dreaming of a wild woman who pushes him right to the brink of his sanity. He wants her, badly, and it has to be soon.

Kestra is a strong woman who endured so much as a teen and grew up refusing to become a victim again. She pushes herself on a physical level, making herself tough in mind as well as body. The dreams she has with Noah are sensual, erotic, pleasing, but then again, are just that... Dreams. Figments of her imagination, or so she believes.

Yet, their dreams hold power to each other, and it takes Noah a while to come to the understanding of who Kestra is to him - his Imprinted mate. But suddenly, the dreams stop, for a week, but it doesn't really dawn on him why. Until he goes to Bella's sister, Corrine, for help to find his Imprinted mate. He becomes shocked when he finds out why he hasn't been dreaming of her.

Kestra met one of the men she did something for, looking for payment. Usually she meets the pay-offs in a public place to avoid any confrontations or anything else of that matter. This time, she went to him, and it cost her her life. Shot in the head after her payment, she dies, and that's when the dreams stop.

However, to go back a week in time to see what happened was with help from Corrine, but of Bella and Jacob's daughter, Leah. Even at the tender age of two, her power is growing, and one of them is that she can manipulate time. When Noah finds out his Imprinted is dead, his sanity comes to the breaking point, and almost kidnaps Corrine and Leah to manipulate time back a week to save Kestra.

That works, but it costs him as well as others. Kestra is finally with him, in his arms, and becomes his mate. But Kestra doesn't believe in it, and leaves, only to be drained of her life bit by bit. But Noah gets her back, and slowly, Kestra comes to believe in what Noah is telling her is now her life, and is adjusting well through everything - except between her and Noah. She doesn't believe in love. She did once, and it cost her her parents lives and nearly her own. But with a lot of work, Noah convinces her, and finally she manages to admit that love really does exist.

The story made me laugh and cry. At first, when Kestra admits that she'd been hurt before, that someone she trusted had hurt her, you figure the usual. Only, it's not the usual. She'd been through a complete horror, and I can't imagine a woman being able to survive that, let alone push herself to what and where she is now. An incredibly strong woman, she builds a wall around herself as protection, and comes unglued when Noah shatters it.

Noah learns a few lessons himself - surprising himself with his indecisions, he does the best that he can. He hurts her indirectly, and it takes everything in him to repair it.

It's awesome to watch Kestra change, to become someone who truly makes herself shine, regardless of her past. To see her push past it was superb.

Erotic love scenes leaves the reader panting, the suspense leaves the reader holding their breath, and the action has you cheering the good guys on. Incredible, and I can't wait for the next!

4.0 out of 5 stars End of series? I think not!!, Sep 6 2008
By krissy "bookfreak" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Noah The Nightwalkers (Mass Market Paperback)
Did I miss the memo that said this is the last book in the series? After reading all the other reviews I guess I must have! Maybe, because I didn't go into this book thinking it was the last, I wasn't as disappointed with it. I'm used to the fact that once an author starts making big money on a series it never wraps-up. (Christine Feehan, Sherrilyn Kenyon, etc.) They just keep adding new demensions and aspects that can keep it going forever if they choose. The fact that she didn't even touch on the main conflict with Ruth and her band of evil-doers tells me she's not done with this thing by a long shot! It's no accident that so many loose ends were left. Believe me, She's by no means done with the vampires or lycanthropes. Those storylines were left wide open! I think through those series we'll be seeing a lot more of our demon friends! She may take a hiatus from these storylines to expound on the shadowdwellers story (which I'm looking forward to) but she'll be back!

That being said, I actually liked the book pretty well. I did take off one star for the repetitiveness of the love scenes. the first one was great but, like a previous reviewer, I found myself skimming through the rest of them. I also thought there were parts that could have moved a little faster. But I've come to expect that from this author. I don't think this book was any different from the rest in the series in that regard.

All in all, this was my favorite book of the demon series. (I think Damien was probably my overall favorite, and that was about vampires and lycanthropes, although she at least brought Ruth into it!) She did a great job touching on what was going on with our friends from past books but not letting it overwhelm Noah and Kestra's story. (i.e. J.R. Ward in Lover Enshrined.)So if you've been a fan of this series I don't have to tell you to read this book, I'm sure you already have or will!

And for those of you that are worried she's ending the series without tieing up those loose ends, never fear! This series will never end! Like the rest, She'll just keep adding new demensions until it gets populer enough to start releasing them in hardback!

3.0 out of 5 stars Being King doesn't guarantee a great story, Mar 17 2009
By Michelle888 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Noah The Nightwalkers (Mass Market Paperback)
Shortly after reading NOAH, I decided to check out Jacquelyn Frank's website as I was eager to see what the next book in the series was. To my astonishment, her blog mentioned that this was to be the last book in the Nightwalker series and she is continuing the saga with the Shadowdwellers. Whoa! Did I read that correctly? If this was to be the last in the series, I would have thought that the Nightwalkers would have gone out with a bang - literally. You know, blow up the bad guys and all that. Instead, this was a sappy read and not what I expected for the Demon King.

I have read the first four books and have always been intrigued by Noah. Reading about his struggles and constant fear for his people and knowing how forlorn he felt watching those closest to him find their Imprinted mate, it was almost an immense relief to see him finally meet his queen. I actually psyched myself up before I picked up this novel. I really thought I was going to be in for an amazing romance and some huge battle scenes based on the length of the book. Yet, shortly after the introduction of Kestra, I began to feel detached. Fair enough that the author wanted a strong female for Noah. And I could also appreciate Kestra's attitude in view of her past. However, Noah seemed weak in this novel and seemed almost like a shadow of his former self. I struggled with the central characters' relationship and found their conversations exasperating after a while. I get it, she's highly independent and he's trying his utmost to give her room to adjust to their ways, but do we have to be told about it over and over again?

What happened to the renegade Demon? I was expecting an explosive, earth shattering battle not several pages of sex scenes to be followed five pages later by more sex scenes. And why did everyone seemed so despondent? I felt disappointed by the time I finished the book. Not because it was a bad novel - indeed, there were some good moments - but because too many things were left unresolved. Perhaps answers will be found on the Shadowdweller series, but I was quite deflated by the ending of NOAH that I'm currently reluctant to pick up ECSTASY. As much as I enjoyed the Nightwalker series in general, I am moving on to another author for the meantime until the next two Shadowdweller books have been released so I can get an idea of what that series is like.

2.0 out of 5 stars All Sex;No Action!, Oct 6 2008
By M. Dominguez - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Noah The Nightwalkers (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was just one long sex scene, with a few breaks
in between to continue the same empty repetitious conversation.

There was no plot, no story and just one sex scene after another. It reminded me of Kresley Cole's last book. I really love J. Frank and KC but their last books were strange. Lacking in plot and completely under-delivering
any type of story.

"Noah" mentions nothing of Ruth and really has no villians. And makes little mention of the other characters that had been written about in previous books in the Nightwalker series. So you will find out who Noah ends up with and that is it!!!

Also, each sex scene was about 20 pages long!!! It would end and then Noah and Kestra would talk about how much they wanted each other..."I can't believe you want me again!" and then we would have to go through 20 more pages of the same OLD THING!!!!!

It is hard to have invested in a whole series and not read one ,So you might as well read this,just get ready to SKIM!SKIM!SKIM!
