The world of the Nightwalkers has been turbulent. Ruth is causing trouble with the possibility of war. She knows of the children in the prophecy and will do anything to keep those ancient words from becoming reality. When Jacob's brother reappears after 400 years all the rules change. The question is where has he been and how did he suddenly appear?
ADAM, the sixth book in the Nightwalker series, is centered around Adam, Jacob's elder brother and former enforcer and Jasmine, the Vampire King's right hand lady. Both came to age in a time when there was no fraternization with members of a different species. The fact that they both felt they were above such a thing didn't help when the simple sight of each other made body parts tingle with desire. When they cross paths again during a time when mating out of your species seems to be a normal event, the internal fight to keep distance from one another conflicts with the wishes of both their kings.
Jacob, the first book in the Nightwalker series, was the first paranormal romance I ever read. I have a special bond with the characters in these books since I have read them more times then I can count. I am telling you this so you understand my next statement. Something major (not giving any spoilers) happens in the first fifteen pages of Adam that made me want to throw the book and cry into a pillow. I could not believe that Frank took the story in the direction that she did. I know authors have to do things that will make their faithful readers upset but in my mind, she had gone too far. I told myself that she would not do something so drastic without reason and I needed to continue reading the story and boy am I glad I did.
This book gives the readers of the series so many things. Being able to see how Jacob, Adam, and Noah were in younger years was a treat. I love how the boyish cockiness flowed off the page when the three best friends bantered back and forth trying to one up each other. We also catch a glimpse of the future if Noah and his faithful are not able to stop Ruth and her devious plans for all the Nightwalker monarchies. It just makes the reader dislike Ruth and her followers even more, if that is possible.
With glimpses into the past, present and future the emotions that are felt while reading ADAM are exhausting. I rarely cry while reading a book but ADAM had me weeping like someone kicked my puppy in so many places. In other I could feel nothing be unconditional love for the characters we have fallen in love with through out the series. During battle scenes all I wanted was for Ruth to get what she deserves ten fold. I had to keep a large supply of chocolate on hand just to do my best to keep my emotions in check. ADAM is a must read for all the fans and I promise you will be happy with the outcome even if you get upset at the word go.
