"Finally, Noah's story has arrived!"
Noah, the Demon King, has been dreaming of a woman, whom he
knows is his
mate. Unfortunately, Noah doesn't know how to find this
woman and
finally asks for help from the druid, whose power is to
track a Demon's
mate. Unluckily, Noah's mate, Kestra Irons, has a
dangerous profession
and is leery of emotional entanglements. Meanwhile, rogue
Vampires are
killing Nightwalkers and stealing their powers, making it
dangerous for
all Nightwalkers. Finally, Noah's story has arrived! I've been waiting for
his story
since the very first book in the Nightwalkers series. Noah
is the
strong, powerful leader of the Demons, who must keep his
emotions in
check, because if he doesn't, the consequences would be
disastrous.
Ever since his last sister left to get married Noah has
felt the
loneliness keenly, and with each Samhain and Beltane his
grip on his
emotions becomes more tenuous. When Noah locates his mate,
he begins to
hope. Unfortunately, Kestra is a very tortured heroine,
who finds trust
hard to give. Noah and Kestra make a great couple, and the reader gets to
catch up
with many familiar faces from the series. Although NOAH is
a great
addition to the Nightwalkers series, this book seems to
focus more on
the relationship between the hero and heroine and less on
the action and
intrigue, than the other books in the series. While there
is plenty of
action and suspense in this book, it seems rather toned
down, when
compared to the other books. I greatly enjoyed NOAH and
didn't mind
this slight shift of focus from the other books in the
series. All in all, NOAH is a wonderful, greatly anticipated
addition to the
Nightwalkers series, and I highly recommend it.

**A PNR Reviewer Top Pick** The Nightwalkers have lived in the shadows of our world for centuries, gifted with abilities few humans can comprehend. For Noah, duty is all—until he meets the woman who is his destiny…
She Will Take Him Beyond His Wildest Dreams. 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 tantalizingly 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 the ranks of their own people lies an adversary growing in number and power. And nothing and no one will be safe again…
Desire awakens at night…
