roxnn2000's review against another edition

When I got to Noah's story I was really excited because I liked the Demon King so much from the previous books. However, I was not a fan of this story. It had some good scenes and some bad scenes, but not one I would want to read again anytime soon. Overall, liked it but didn't love it like the others.

The nightwalkers series continues with Noah finding his imprinted mate. Kestra is not an easy mate for Noah, she makes him work for it. There is the continuing drama of the rogue vampires and the nightwalkers need to work together to fight the evil they unleash. This story is hot and steamy and with lots of action. Another great story.

While I found myself (gasp!) skimming over some sections I found to be a bit too lengthy and wordy, over all, I enjoyed Noah and Kestra's story.
I thought the drama was well done (Noah's betrayal, Kestra being in danger, everyone in danger, etc) and the love scenes were sweet (albeit it frustrating at times, especially when looked at through Noah's eyes).
I can't help but feel a little let down since we didn't learn more about Ruth and Nico or Jasmine's future that is so entwined with Damien and Syreena's, but should there be anymore Nightwalker novels, I will likely read them. Also, because of this series, I will likely re-read "Ecstacy: The Shadowdwellers" since I read it before I read this series and now have a bit more background.

booksabrewin's review against another edition

Noah was by far the most hefty book in the series. I was completely expecting the fight between the Nightwalkers and the Demon traitor to finally come to fruitition in this book. I was expecting Noah to find is way to his true love and mate, as does everyone in the other books did, and then find his way into defeating the enemies of his people and his allies. I was bouncing in my seat when I dug into the book, but was a bit surprised at what the material actually encompassed.
Noah has been becoming increasingly antsy around all the mated and Imprinted pairs surrounding him. He can't help but wonder what has become of the mate he was promised by destiny. Then the dreams begin. A first woman enters his thoughts and refuses to let him rest fully any longer. Her face is obscured but the body he craves is not. She always begins each dream trying in vain to fight him off, but ultimately their connection and feelings for each other always ends up overwhelming them both before they can't help but touch and be close to each other. It is only after the dreams immediately stop that Noah starts to worry and seeks help from Corrine, the druid mate of Kane who has the ability to track Druid mates for Demonkind. To Noah's shock and dismay, his dream woman who calls herself Kestra, has perished. It is up to Noah and his 2-year old daughter of the Enforcers and Demon of Time to fix this situation before it can even happen.
Kestra likes to make things explode. She likes her life how it is. No complications, no loyalties except to her coworkers, and no difficult relationships... except for the one with the infuriating dream stalker. As a mercenary she is born to be skeptical of the motives of all around her. The mystery man is no exception. To her surprise he comes to her rescue and saves her from what she knows was a very close brush with death. However, now that he is physically within reach she seems to continue to have issues keeping her distance from him. She feels inexplicably drawn to him and can't figure out why.
All the while, Vampire rogues are on the loose and they are a threat to every Nightwalker in existence. They are killing, feasting, and become more powerful every day. Noah knows it's only a matter of time before he comes for him and his reluctant mate. He needs to convince her to believe in this new world she has been brought into as well as in him as her mate. With Kestra's emotional baggage and Noah's fiery temper, will these two ever see eye-to-eye and find peace in their bond?
Out of the entire series that I have read up until this point, this one was the one I least liked. Noah, while a very prominent character throughout the rest of the books, did not come as a character I was anxious to get to know. I know that him being the Demon King should have held appeal over Gideon, the no nonsense medic, but for some reason he didn't. Add to that the fact that Kestra was frustrating, even to me, and it makes for a mediocre book in my eyes. As with any paranormal romance book, there is sex. Whereas in the other books it was kept to a scene or two, Noah's seemed to be riddled with it. That is something I would expect more out of erotica than paranormal romance.
But there were some good points. It was nice to take a little break from the evil that is the Demon traitor for once. Most of the books are all about the great love overcoming all the obstacles that the "big baddy" put in their way. This one has a little off-shoot evil that they had to handle. I liked getting away from Ruth for a bit. Every bad guy needs a vacation or some time to regroup. Nice to see she got it in Noah.
If Noah were not such a prominent fixture in the story line of the Nightwalkers, I would describe the book as a nice, erotica companion novel. Still worth reading, especially if you like lots of sex and lots of fighting.

Finally, another human/druid mate! I get the whole inter-nightwalker mate thing to link them all together, but personally I always favor the girl being normal and the guy being something else. And Oh, thank you Noah for not letting me down. With the last two books turning the men into such saps, I was really hoping it wouldn't happen to Noah. And while it did in a way, it was a way befitting his position and personality I think.
This book takes place about nine months after the last and really nothing has happened within that time. Except for a group of rogue vampires all gun-hoe about getting as much power from other nightwalkers as they can. In fact, that's pretty much the only issue they face in this book. We get absolutely nothing from Ruth's end of evil.
I absolutely love Noah's blatant show of favoritism toward certain people. Especially his enforcers and their daughter. The times we get in the beginning when Noah is with Leah is just so sweet and cute. And it's thanks to Leah's love for Noah that he is able to save his mate. No matter that Leah probably didn't know she was doing anything. But Noah's actions in that instant bring about a mass of consequences and some emotional pain. I was surprised at how livid Isabelle got with him when doling out her punishment on him, and how long it took her to forgive him (more or less). Unfortunately too because of that we don't get to see him with Leah for the rest of the book. But Noah can't come to regret what he did even though he hates himself at the same time. It brought Kestra to him after all. Kestra considers herself a mercenary and is loathe to be restricted or controlled by anyone or anything after a terrible event in her childhood. So even though she willingly give Noah her body, she guards her heart to the extremes. Which hurts Noah an unbelievable amount. Noah deserves the respect he gets for so many reasons especially because even when he's so troubled by something he still thinks of his people first and tries to maintain his pride and honor. He's just innately a good man. A lot of this book is pretty much just him trying to win over the stubborn Kestra with the rogue vampire actions thrown in here and there until the end. When they finally make their moves. They fail of course but the damage has been done, especially on Damien's side. But that wasn't their final attack as they almost succeed with their plan against Noah. It's not until after that that he finds out Kestra has finally admitted that she loves him. And he's all happy happy king again, yay! I very much love Noah and his personality and I think Kestra was a good character match for him for the most part. And while Kestra's druid power is definitely interesting, I'm not quite sure how I feel about it...
