The idea of the imprinting is really starting to grate because it means that there is very little romance. I was really looking forward to reading Damien's story because he sounded really nice, but I hated him being coupled with Syreena, she was so boring and there was very little chemistry between them. Add in Jasmine and Ruth and the whole thing was very poor.”

“When the Vampire ruler, Damien, saves Syreena, Princess and heir-apparent to the throne of the Lycanthropes, from the clutches of the insane, vengeful Mind Demon, he's completely unprepared for the staggering attraction between them.

The possible relationship between them is a total taboo in his society, not to mention the possible ramifications if they did decide to give in to the sudden passion flaring between them...Unfortunately, neither Syreena or Damien have much of a choice in the matter. It all comes down to the stunning compatibility in their chemistry...And in true Vampire fashion, taboos and rules are meant to be broken.
I loved this one! I'm rather partial to vampires, so this was just up my alley. This book was yet another lesson in differences attraction each other and repercussions such unions might have. Damien and Syreena were perfectly delineated and absolutely perfect for one another. She needed someone to teach her to live and make her own choices, while he needed a (rather rude) shake from his Vampiric stupor and old routine for just looking out for himself (as it was beautifully put in the last chapter).
While this book was a rather drastic removal from the template of the previous ones - the characters from the first two books don't appear at all (except for Gideon's tiny cameo) - I found I didn't miss them at all, despite the author's obvious knack for making them appear without taking center stage. The story and the two leads made well for the "void"...And the new (supporting) characters was enough to keep my mind occupied with being annoyed. I'd be more than happy if Jasmine didn't make another appearance. Ever!
The progressing main theme of the series is getting more complex with every single page (and every single book). The big bad is already so out of it, I cannot imagine how Ms. Frank can to it, yet she does every single time, and I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next. Unfortunately, the next book is also the last, so the demented ploy will soon come to its untimely and well-deserved end, but I'm sure Ruth, the crazy b**** will go down with a bang...And who better to see to it than my favorite character in the entire series, Noah, the Demon King. Can't wait! *giddy little grin*
Yes, I didn't think anything could top Elijah, but Damien certainly rose to the challenge and won straight on. Unlike so many other series, when the first few books are wonderful, but then all goes downhill from there, the Nightwalkers just get better and better.
So if you are a fan of paranormals, you cannot miss this book. Yet, as I've previously noted, it would be better to start at the beginning, although this one is an "easier" stand-alone than the previous ones, since there is not overly much detail from the previous stories, except, of course, the main story-arc.
A highly recommended read! ”
“This is probably close to the best book, partly because all of the story lines seem to be coming together.”

“I really liked Damien from the beginning and waited for his book very impatiently. The relationship between Damien and Syreena was hot and worth the wait. ”

“I have read the first three books in the Nightwalker series and have grown to love the Demons who have so far been the focus in Jacquelyn Frank’s supernatural world. While I am eager to read more about their lives, it was definitely a welcome change to have a vampire take center stage. And it’s not just any vampire, but the Prince himself.

With the recent discovery of an ancient library, the Demon and Lycanthrope leaders deemed it necessary for each Nightwalker race to have a representative of their own. After being approached by the Demon King, Damien travels to the library located at the Lycanthrope region accompanied by his selected representative, Jasmine. There he meets Syreena, the Lycanthrope princess who has captivated him during their initial meeting recently. When Syreena is taken by a renegade Demon and left brutally wounded, Damien ends up saving her. As they say, all hell breaks loose in more ways than one. Not only are they now both targeted by the crazed Demon, but they are also breaking every Vampire taboo by being together.
I found that DAMIEN was more character-driven compared with the first three books. While there were a couple of interesting battles, they were not of the same scale as seen in the previous books. Frank has really spent time developing Syreena and Damien’s characters, along with some newly-introduced secondary characters. The author ups the ante with the introduction of the Shadowdwellers and two new Mistrals. I was quite excited reading about the Nightwalker meeting. It was something I truly relished and I am eager to learn more about them.
I liked how Frank really served up the romance in this book and the chemistry between the central characters really sizzled. Admittedly, I was a little disappointed with the ending. It didn’t wow me like the other books did. I understand that the author was probably setting up the stage for Jasmine’s own story, but I felt that it took the limelight away from Damien and Syreena. Yet this complaint aside, DAMIEN was a pretty enjoyable read and I’m now about to start on Noah’s story.”
“The author up the ante by introducing a potentially explosive development in the union of Damien with Syreena, the Lycanthrope Princess who has intrigued him since Book 2 or 3. As if that’s not enough, towards the end of the book, the secret behind the powerful union was revealed and subsequently used by the rogue Nightwalkers led by Ruth with dire consequences.”

“I don't know what it is, but there is just something so erotic about drinking blood and lovemaking. And Damien takes it to that level and then some. And when Syreena finally came to him and then had to convince him, that whole scene was just wow.

Lots of drama in this one. I'm soo hating Ruth!
More of the Mistrals in this book. I'm intrigued by them. We also get our first peek at the shadowdwellers. And I can't wait to find out what's in store for Jasmine. I had a definate love/hate relationship with her through this book.”
“This is the 4th book in The Nightwalkers series. A fun read full of love, sex and action. I like the way the author takes these legends on creatures of the night and molds and shapes them in a way that almost makes you believe they may really exist. In other words - she humanizes them.”
