Since time began, there have been Nightwalkers-the races of the night who live in the shadows of the moonlight. Love with humans is absolutely forbidden, and one man makes certain to uphold this ancient law: Jacob, the Enforcer.For 700 years, he has resisted temptation. But not tonight...Jacob knows the excuses his people give when the madness overtakes them and they fall prey to their lust for humans. He's heard every one and still brought the trespassers to justice. Immune to forbidden desires, uncontrollable hungers, or the curse of the moon, his control is total...until the moment he sees Isabella on a shadowy New York City street. Saving her life wasn't in his plans. Nor were the overwhelming feelings she arouses in him. But the moment he holds her in his arms and feels the soft explosion of her body against his, everything changes. Their attraction is undeniable, volatile, and completely against the law. Suddenly everything Jacob has ever believed is inflamed by the heat of desire. Bring on the night.… (meer)

I picked this book up in a thrift store for .99. I figured if it's awful, no harm no foul. I was pleasantly surprised.

Billed as a paranormal romance, this book could have been more erotica than paranormal romance. It is not. Yes, as is common with the romance genre there are sex scenes, but it's not every two pages at the sacrifice of having a fully developed story.

Also, having read a ton of the genre, there is always the concern of "it's already been told." This series is unique. I will continue through it. ( )

So I noticed the love interest's name is omitted from the summary, back of book, etc. Even online and such she is often left unnamed.

Now that was weird, but this book was on many websites and discount bins as three dollars. 3$! In fact on Ebay and multiple other selling sites this is one of the top books for sale at phenomenal prices such as two to three dollars with free shipping!

This almost ties in perfectly with the stuff I am fixing to discuss about it, both the price and the marketing.

So Jacob is a very stick up his ass stickler for the rules. He's above everything. He's an enforcer of the law and a punisher of all who fall, unintentional rhyme aside, he's THAT character in every book with one. All the boxes ticked for this is going to go forbidden romance route. I know a bit about him by now. But the female is sort of vagued on and on about. First the summary and book back, but then I figure out why.

Her name is Bella. His name is Jacob.

Once this is put out there the personalities really start to make sense. This whole book is Twilight AU fanfiction. And once I realized that, I DNF'd it. It wasn't that interesting to begin with and I was just hanging on to hopefully see some good conflict and writing.

Nightwalker series . . . Jacob is an Earth Demon and the feared Enforcer of his people. Finds a human woman (librarian) who is descended from Druids and just so happens to fulfill prophecy about saving the Demon race. Once mated, pair cannot be separated without causing death to the Druid. Future books will come about Noah (king and fire Demon), his sister Magdelegna (mind Demon) and Gideon (body Demon), etc.
Very much like Christine Feehan’s Dark series in terms of writing quality. Wonder if Frank will be able to keep the plots interesting enough to read more? (Unlike Feehan) ( )

Since I started out this series thinking for some odd reason the Damien was the first book, I had read that first. So I decided better start from the beginning, and well so I did and it put some things into perspective, and I understand some things a little more now like a little but more on Ruth. But this book was very enjoyable to read. Books like me is the reason I lo e books so much, that with all the crap that can go on in and outside a relationship they always manage to work things out ( )
