Fifth in series - By: Helen Hancox, 06 Oct 2008
Jacquelyn Frank's "Nightwalkers" series continues with Noah, the King of the Demons & a character who's been rather sketchyin previous books (Jacob, Gideon, Elijah, Damien) but who now gets a story to himself. As with the other booksin this series, the central plot of Noah is a man finding his fated mate,in this case the rather unusual human named Kestra. Noah, as King, is dedicated to protecting his people from their enemies, both human & Nightwalker, but he is beginning to fear his own nature - as Samhain approaches, a time when some demons lose control, he worries that this will happen to him. It doesn't help that he's been dreaming of a mystery woman for the last six months - he doesn't know her name or anything about her but he can't get her out of his mind.

When Noah discovers that he has been dreaming of his imprinted mate, a woman who knows nothing about him, he sets about finding her. But things aren't going to go smoothly for Noah, he may find he's too late to reach her, even if he does find her she may not want to become part of his life, & what if she's been too damaged by eventsin her past to feel comfortable with him?

Jacquelyn Frank's writing style is interesting because although not that much actually happensin her books, somehow they don't drag. We spend a great deal of time following conversations between Noah & Kestra & also some of the other characters whom we've metin previous books. There were a couple of moments when the 'goodies' had to fight against the 'baddies'in this book but that was a fairly minor part of the overall story, we were focusing much more on the relationship between Noah & Kestra. I didn't find Kestra a particularly appealing character, & Noah, too, had his off moments, but overall it was a reasonably continuation of this series, giving several insights into the continuing stories of some of the heroes & heroines of the previous books.

This book was significantly longer than the others at over 500 pages although it felt like it had less actual plot that its predecessor, Damien, but was still a reasonable read for paranormal romance fans.
