Publisher's summary

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...

Spend some more time with the Nightwalkers - if you dare.

Critic reviews

"Frank continues her major hot streak with her latest Nightwalkers novel by giving this compelling hero a heroine worthy of him. Exceptional as always!" (Romantic Times)

Best in the series...so far

I loved this book it is my favorite in the series so far!!! I can't wait until Adam is released on audio.

Certainly one of the best

Oh our Demon King has his hands full in this one. We feel for Noah in this one as he is torn while trying to win his mate. Love the streamy love scenes and the level of intellegent conversations in this series are great. As usual Xe Sands does a wonderful job with the delivery of our characters.

Another Great One!!!

This Series is spellbinding and the reader is "Wonderful"! I can't wait to listen to Adam.

Decent story worth a listen

I loved this series years ago when I read it, my only gripe and its a small one is the narrator can put you to sleep. Her voice is so low and lulling. and many of her "voices sound so similar its hard to follow from time to time.

Noah w/ XeXe Sands=Winner

I have listened to this one numerous times, and I love it each time. The story is addicting, and add XeXe, you got a winner. Although I like some of the other series, none compares to the Nightwalkers!

Tied with best book of first six book with "Jacob"

Great story line. I hope their are individual books on imprinted mates to come.

Driven Crazy by the Moon!

What did you love best about Noah?

This is Noah’s story (obviously, right?) So we have to take all the things that we have learned about Noah in the last 4 books and apply them to his story. He is a diplomat, a brother, an Uncle, a friend, and a king. What we haven’t seen yet is Noah in love.

We have seen the brotherly love he has shown for his sisters, but not the real pull at your heart strings, can’t get enough of her, on my mind every waking moment type love. But one other thing we mustn’t forget about Noah is that he is a demon and as a demon he is susceptible to the madness that the call of the moon at Beltane and Samhain can bring.

In this story, Jacquelyn Frank shows us how the pull of the moon can drive a man do things he would never do if he were in his right mind. It will be the enforcers, Jacob and Isabella, that will have to dole out Noah’s punishment for his little indiscretion.

Kestra is the one that is meant for Noah and she is a strong woman. She is tuff and doesn’t take crap from anybody. She has dreams about a mystery man for several months, but when some guy just shows up and tells her that she is his soulmate and now they will be together forever … well, he has another thing coming! She is not just going to roll over and act all submissive and let him dominate her. She doesn’t care who he is. As far as she is concerned all that soulmate stuff is a bunch of crap.

This story was a great addition to the series. I loved the dynamic between Noah and Kestra. I enjoyed that they didn’t just meet and fall love and live happily ever after. I also enjoyed how Kestra was not a girly, girly but more of a tuff warrior babe type person and she stayed true to form right to the end.

When this story ended, there were a lot of unanswered questions but I don’t feel like I was left hanging. We now have quite a few mixtures of races and we don’t know what all the different new guys (and gals) can do. I will be looking forward to the next in the series.

What about Xe Sands’s performance did you like?

Xe Sands was the narrator for this book as well as for the other four in the series. As always, she uses her rich sultry voice to immediately draw you into the story and keep you listening well into the night. She really captures the essence of the love and romance that goes on in these books.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely!

King of the Demons siezes control of his fate.

Where does Noah rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have nearly 200 books so it is quite a compliment to say Noah is among my top 20.

What did you like best about this story?

I really admired how Noah fought so many seemingly unsurmoutable obsticals with his usual determination and steadfastness to create his own destiny.

Which scene was your favorite?

Watching Noah begin to train his mate in the use of her power was fun, exciting, and tender all at the same time.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No - it was quite enjoyable to pace this one out over the course of several days.

Any additional comments?

My second favorite in the series - definitely worth the credit!

Wonderful

This series is definitely a favorite. I thoroughly enjoyed Noah, and have awaited getting to book 5 to listen to his story. It's not a necessity that you listen to the books in order, but, the preceding stories are very good as well, and it helps to keep things in context. Noah's story, and to be honest, the entire series is really romantic, maybe even 'sappy' for some, but I love it! Definitely credit worthy.

Lost count....

I've listened to this book since its purchase more than 4 times & it still has me laughing & crying with comprehension of what true love/soul mates would mean to humans, if we were as lucky as these Demons (this series makes the Demons not the evil we think of when we speak of them, in the real world); truly anyone of any race, breed, color or Religion can have "Demons/Evildoers/Lunatics" that kill & maim others bc they are judging them...this is my way I explain this SyFy Romance series, so it is understood what this series is like. These Demons/Nightwalker have Laws, Moral Codes & Honor/Valor especially to protect humans. Just listen to just one to understand what I am trying to convey! Hope you fall in love with this magnificently written & performed series. Great job! #Kudos2Author_and_Narrator
