booksabrewin's review against another edition

I couldn't, for the life of me, remember who Adam was and how he was significant to those within the Nightwalker series. I wracked my brain but ultimately just came to the conclusion that the only way to find out was to dive into the book. I was sure they would tell me how he was related while also making his story come alive for me. Success, I did finally understand who Adam was and why I hadn't really heard much mention of him in the previous books. I was excited to see how Adam came to play a roll in their world once more.
Adam is the eldest brother of Jacob. He disappeared off the battlefield during the Vampire/Demon war 400 years from present date. He was ripped from his time by a violet-eyed teenager who asked him the critical question, "What would you do to save your brother?" The answer was a resounding "anything". Which led Adam down the path he was on. The path that led to the present. But not before he had a brief encounter with a luscious Vampire that made him question everything his Enforcer instincts dictated of him. It is this same Vampire that comes back into his life, determined to tease and taunt the strong willed Demon into submission... and maybe a little fun along the way.
Jasmine had nothing in her life that really stimulated her. She was involved in the protection of most of the Nightwalker races, she had the ear of the Vampire Prince, Damien, and she was a skilled fighter on the hunt for her adversary, Ruth. She should have been well entertained even by Vampire standards and yet, she did not know why she continued to seek refuge in the ground for long bouts of sleep. The only time she had felt anything but indifferent to her long life was when she encountered a Water Demon who caught her interest immediately 400 years ago. Now, that same Demon is back and it is all Jasmine can do not to try to recapture their first encounter. She is not the girly swooning type. She has one goal above even the enticing draw of Adam... find Ruth and make her pay.
Ruth sees the end to the battle coming soon, as does the rest of the Nightwalkers. Nobody knows, though, how the end will turn out and whether any of them will be alive to see it. Jasmine and Adam must navigate the tumultuous waves of their Imprinting while also seeking a demise to their long fought enemies.
I loved the time travel aspects of this final installment of the Nightwalkers series. I liked that it showed how delicate time can be and how one little change can change the future, sometimes for the better and other times for the worst. I loved watching Leah explore her powers and find a way to save her parents while also bringing a highly skilled warrior into the fight against Ruth. The whole book of Adam was more so about these aspects than the budding romance between Adam and Jasmine. I never much liked Jasmine so this was absolutely fine by me.
Adam was likable but not to the extent that Jacob was. Not by half. Jasmine was everyone's favorite pain in the ass. The romance between these two was very much slapped together. I think Frank may have been more into closing up the battle between Ruth and the Nightwalkers than necessarily staging a romance between two characters. She, of course, had to include that aspect of risk losing all the swoony face fans in the process.
Where Noah was borderline erotica, Adam was borderline urban fantasy instead of paranormal romance.

Deserves a 4 purely on the storyline, and its probably the best book in the series. Its interesting, gripping and with enough twists and turns to keep me reading.
Another reviewer mentioned her writing style and I too find it over the top, and needlessly flowery but then thats just me. Usually this style is a turnoff but the characters and the story in this series made this a must read for me.

Terrible, Horrible, tear jerking beginning! I hated it.
So this book takes place three years after the last and begins with a tragic event. One that affects not only certain people, but the demon culture in general. To say it was a massive blow would be an extreme understatement. Then we fast forward ten years to Leah and Seth in the lycanthrope court. Seth's power has yet to show itself so he's troubled with feeling inadequate, while Leah has had a really hard childhood and wants to use her power to change things. She's deterred from this course of action but circumstances forced her to do it anyway. And now Adam's disappearance those 400 years ago has been explained. We flash back to the time of Adam being enforcer and get to know him a little bit, as well as getting a different side of Jacob. Leah getting Adam to come back with her to that critical time changes everything. It's understandable how lost and confused Adam is, being thrust so far into the future and not having much of anything familiar. One thing that remained was his attraction to Jasmine. And she actually ends up being the ground in which he uses to keep from going crazy with all the changes. Together they go to hunt down Ruth. During which Adam realizes she's his mate. Crazy, I know. They do track Ruth down but before they confront her Damien and a few others show up to help. Have being warned by a mysterious girl what would happen if they didn't get there in time. Now, the battle with Ruth. I don't know...I know it wasn't easy per se but I feel that it should have required a little more help. Or at least Jacob as another enforcer. The fact that Adam was the only demon there seemed a little unbalanced. I don't want to say that the end was a happy one, because there was still so much going on, but everybody was hopeful for the best. I am curious as to what would have happened with Adam being thrown in as another enforcer though...

Spoiler
I had the beginning of this book spoiled by a review on here, so I knew that Jacob and Isabella were going to die. So even though I was prepared for that, I was not prepared for the heart-wrenching emotion it caused. They have been my favorite couple and "watching" them die made me want to feel like crying. And then add to that the pain that Noah was going thru. His anguish at their loss and inability to move on was completely believable for his character. And then to be denied the right to raise Leah? Who can fault him for holding a grudge against those who took her?So this book takes place three years after the last and begins with a tragic event.

*This story needed to be longer to fit in all the povs
*No chemistry
*How does Seth play into the prophecy?
*So many unanswered questions.
*Took place over 2 days and that was enough for Adam and Jasmine to fall for each other

I really enjoyed this one. It was almost like a blast from the past kind of book. It started off really traumatic for me, but the author quickly set the stage for the comeback and executed.
The only real issue that I had was that the entire supporting cast built in the prior 5 books all but disappeared. Adam and Jasmine just took about 85% of the story. I thought that was a little much. I really hope she goes and adds another book and lets me know about Gideon's son. There was definitely a story there that needs tob e told. I also want to know about how they resolved the enforcer situation.
