NIGHTWALKER by Jacquelyn Frank is the final book in her
Nightwalker series that encompasses several
different worlds including those of the Bodywalkers,
Shadowdellers, and others. I think NIGHTWALKER should
only be read after reading a few of Jacquelyn Frank's
other books set in this world. There are
too many specialized terms and characters that crossover
from other books for a reader new to the series to fully
understand and appreciate. However, after reading and
loving this series and these characters, NIGHTWALKER
makes an exciting and satisfying end to the series. I can
only hope that Jacquelyn Frank revisits this world at
some point in the future because there are still one or
two characters I would love to see more of.
Amid a race to avert an apocalypse, there is a romance
that develops between the Bodywalker known as Kamen and
the half-Wraith Vieve. There are so many things to love
about their romance. I like that the story is told from
both perspectives, since both characters are very
complex. Kamen and Vieve both have feelings of
unworthiness when it comes to love - Kamen because of his
strong sense of guilt, and Vieve because of her feelings
of insecurity that were drilled into her by her family. I
love watching the two grow individually and helping each
other when they can't always see themselves clearly.
There is a wonderful feeling of sensuality and magic
woven through NIGHTWALKER that makes the romance so
special. Jacquelyn Frank always gives a romance extra
sizzle, but it's her unique and interesting characters
that add depth and make such a compelling story.
NIGHTWALKER is the perfect combination of action-packed
fantasy and erotic romance. Jacquelyn Frank creates a
truly monstrous villain for readers to feel good about
hating. The battle of good versus evil is epic and
thrilling. The huge cast of characters, both new and old,
add to the story without cluttering things up. As a fan
of the series, I love seeing characters from different
books interacting and getting their own moment to shine.
I eagerly await the next book by Jacquelyn Frank.
From New York Times bestselling author Jacquelyn
Frank comes the final chapter in the Nightwalkers saga! As
the momentous showdown with a powerful demon unfolds, a
passionate encounter breaks the ultimate taboo.
Kamen is a Bodywalker, an ancient soul reborn in one human
host after another. He’s also a prisoner of his own kind:
for it was Kamen who released Apep, the deadly god who
threatens the existence of their world. To atone for this
grievous error, Kamen accepts an urgent mission: to convince
the other nations of the Nightwalkers to set aside their
centuries-old conflicts and band together. If he fails, all
will be lost. And no tribe presents a greater challenge than
the Wraiths, the spectral beings who are feared and despised
for their lethal deathtouch.
Kamen makes first contact with a stunning, ghostly pale
beauty named Geneviève. Part Wraith and part human, scorned
as a half-breed, Viève shares the hunger for redemption—and
for connection. Her scintillating touch holds the kiss of
death, and yet it makes Kamen feel more alive than ever.
Soon his lips are pressed against hers, sending Viève into
fits of desire and forging a bond that breaches the divide
between them. Now they must unite all the Nightwalkers, from
Vampire and Shadowdweller to Djynns, and fast—for Apep is
ready for war.
