Book Description:
For a thousand years, Gideon has healed his people. And as the oldest surviving male of his race, his wisdom has always been respected without question. But Gideon knows that even he is vulnerable to the powerful, primitive desires that befall his kind during Hallowed moons -- and nine years ago that truth was hammered home when he found himself claiming Magdelegna, the Demon King's sister, in a wild embrace. Horrified by his lack of control, he left her wanting and furious -- and then exiled himself for the better part of a decade. Now, with necromancers threatening his people -- and Magdelegna nearly their victim -- Gideon must face another truth. He and the beautiful, stubborn Magdelegna are destined to be together, to share a love as deep and old as time itself. But first he needs to regain her trust. Then he'll have to save her life.

This series from Jacquelyn Frank is a very intelligent collection on demons, druids, vampires, and werewolves. This particular story hits upon the May-December romance between two demons. The story line is well thought out and extremely developed. She has put a lot of thought into making sure there is a basis for the conflict. This book, sucks you in and leaves you wanting more on each of the characters that are brushed upon in the story.

I was only mildly impressed with the first book in this series, but I decided to give the second one a try. LOVED IT! Gideon was a great hero, especially if you like your men very reserved and controlled, then watch them unravel! I never could understand how Legna could acknowledge the Imprinting, yet put off sleeping with him. Made for some great tension in the story, though! Great scene where she forces through Gideon's emotional barriers and he snaps.

For all you Sherrilyn Kenyon fans, he sort of reminds me of Acheron, who is the UBER-Man in my opinion.

I have now become enamored with the series and have already gotten the next one (Elijah). I loved Elijah's character, so I am looking forward to diving in!

I did read the first in this series, Jacob, and felt it was a decent start to a new series. So, when I found a cheap used copy of this one, I figured what the heck?

Ugh, I wish I hadn't bothered. I didn't even finish it, and I just don't NOT finish a book. It's only happened less than a handful of times.

I felt like it took way too long to get to the story for this book. It seemed like a quarter of the book was spent rehashing the first one. And not even creatively. The dialogue felt so forced and obvious, I thought I was reading a bad Soap Opera's script or something.

I got more than half way through it, and never once could connect to the main characters. Or, should I say, who the main characters are supposed to be. There's so much involving other characters, I felt Gideon and Legna, were almost side story.

Not sure if I could make myself read the next one. But who knows... I can be a glutton for punishment.

2nd book of the nightwalkers. this is gideon & Legna's story. he is the powerful ancient of over 1000 yrs old & she is but a mere 300-so very different yet fated to be together. love the way she mixes so many different species. you also get to read about some of the characters from the 1st book jacob also. this is a great series. can't wait for the next one.

Very good paranormal romance... not quite up to par as Ward's Brotherhood but still worth reading!

couldn't get into it all. Some of the characters are too dumb to find interesting.

This was just ok for me. I really enjoyed Jacob but the other books in the series didnt really hold my attention

It took me awhile to get into the story. After reading Jacob's story, I had an idea of where this book was going and it seemed to just follow along with what I expected. About 2/3rds into the book it took a twist that was much more interesting for me. I'm looking forward to the next book and the new characters introduced in Gideon.

Very good book! :) Love this series! :) Reminds me a lot of Gregori from Christine Feehan's Carpathians.

In my opinion, not nearly as good as the first. I feel she went on too many tangents that were irrelevant to the story. Of course there were many explanations, and lead ins for future books, but I felt there was too much fill that was unnecessary. The plot line itself was still good though. I am not sure though if I am going to try #3.

Ms Frank has a winner in this series.

this is the second book in the "nightwalkers". This one is Gideon and Magdelegna series. I like this book alot. It was a quick read for me.

This is the 2nd in Frank's Nightwalkers series and as good if not better than the first one, which was "Jacob". If you are just starting the series or think this may of interest let me know.
From the back of the book;
"They're called the Nightwalkers-proud, ancient beingswho live in the shadows, existing just beyond the human world. But there are also dangerous humans who hunt them--necromancers who use the blackest magic to manipulate them. And for a Demon named Gideon the battle against these evil forces will soon become all too personal."
