Search - Elijah (Nightwalkers, Bk 3)

This is by far my favorite of the series. I'll admit, Jacob (book 1) didn't blow me away. But it was enough for me to read Gideon (book 2), which I also loved.

I haven't enjoyed a series this much since I discovered the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by JR Ward and the Midnight Breed series by Lara Adrian.

I think JF does an excellent job with the love scenes. They do go on for pages and pages (as mentioned by another member) but I think the author does a great job of keeping them hot and original. You'd think writing about that much sex, she'd run out of ideas.

Anyway, hope this review encourages someone else to give this series a try.

Great characters, interesting ideas, just the writing gets muddled and the love scenes seems to go on for pages and pages.

Though I liked Elijah for the most part, the Nightwalker series is starting to lose my interest a little. I found Siena very annoying and felt that Elijah could have had a better mate. I understood her reasoning to deny what was happening, but it was too extreme. The romances remain sappy and apparently I prefer a little more grit to paranormal romances. I much prefer to read about the actual plot of the book instead of the romance. Surprisingly, (for me, at least), I find the romances distracting and I wish these books were urban fantasy instead. I think Frank does a pretty good job with the world-building and I wish that would be her main focus.

Series...book Ok but predictable. Not much happend beyond the attraction of the warrior and the queen. Queen is obsessed with her throne. She saves him, he saves her... would have been beter if I read previous books in series to care for the characters. As is they were flat for me and the mad demoness was so uninteresting I could cry, her daughter the 'autonom' was there just a shadow of a character. Over all I didn't dislike the book but I feel as if I wasted my time reading it.

Love this series, but the relationship development and insecurities the H and h experience take away from the book a bit. I hope Gideon (the next in the series) is as good as the first two (Jacob and Gideon). Also, Jacob and Bella's relationship is a little annoying because of the bickering; Bella is treated like a petulant child when there is good reason behind her opinions.

The Nightwalkers series brought me to a new world and a new perception of Demons with Jacob. Elijah expands that world to include lycanthropes (werewolves). I love Jacquelyn Frank's imaginative new take on preternatural.
