I am definitely a fan of Jacquelyn Frank’s Nightwalker series, an imaginative and believable world filled with elemental shadow demons and other Nightwalker races who invisibly co-exist with human beings.
There are four books currently in the series – Jacob, Gideon, Elijah, Damien – with a fifth, Noah, due out this month (Sept. 2, 2008).
Jacob
In Jacob the Enforcer, Isabella learns that stargazing is not hazardous to your health, but carelessness can be when she loses her balance, slips over the 5-story window’s edge and then — well, what a way to meet a demon!
Anyone looking for a hot-catch, literally? Well, Jacob wasn’t. He lives in the shadows as a Demon Enforcer, appointed by their king, Noah, to enforce the laws of their species. With fervent loyalty to his King and selfless devotion to duty, …
Lynn Viehl returns us to the lush and visceral the world of her Darkyn in Twilight Fall, and I was glad to take the trip. The Darkyn novels are one of all-time favorite vampire romance series. Superbly written with a dark, gritty edge and sharp wit, they are a feast for readers hungry for passion, romance, danger and intrigue.

Liling and Valentin’s paths cross at the bedside of Luisa, the young burn victim …

In Darkness Everlasting, the vampire king, Styx, takes it upon himself to protect the lovely Darcy Smith (by kidnapping her) when he learns that a werewolf leader, Salvatore Guiliani, is after her for some unknown purpose. Styx gets more than he bargains for, however, as the tenderhearted Darcy, who’s always known she was different than those around her without knowing why, proves a danger to the 2,000-year-old warrior’s solitary existence, threatening to melt his heart and free his soul in ways he never imagined.
I found Darkness Everlasting a truly delightful read, well written, well plotted and difficult to put down. The dance between Styx and Darcy is both sweet and devastatingly passionate, …
