Summary: Much better than the first book - worlds more romantic for sure!
Comment: I really didn't enjoy the first book (Jacob) in Frank's Nighwalkers series... It seemed that book was a bit rushed and didn't really include much in the way of a story... BUT, since I had purchased the first and second books together, I decided I would give the second book a go... WOW am I ever glad I did!
This book was fun, interesting, and even romantic! I felt that I really connected with the characters and was hoping for the relationship with Gideon and Legna to bloom. I appreciated the demon world Frank designed so much more this time through because the bulk of the book was written in it! Frank took her time developing the connection between the main characters, so those super steamy love scenes felt quite sensual and sweet.
Frank has definitely won me over with Gideon and I have already picked up the next book in the Nightwalker series and am counting down the hours until I can explore the next character!
Overall, GREAT romantic read with a wonderful paranormal setting! Well done Frank!

Summary: Good
Comment: I liked Jacob (Book 1) and Gideon (Book 2). A little wordy, there are many repetitive descriptions. I like the concept behind the series and the story lines. The mind reading thing between couples gets a litte old, but that is across the entire paranormal romance genre. Looking forward to Elijah next.

Summary: I loved this book.
Comment: Gideon is the most powerful and oldest demon. He has the ability to heal. Magdelegna is still considered a child in demon years and she is still learning how to control her powers. They are destined to be together whether either one wanted or expected the union.
This book explores how even a healer can be broken and how the young can teach the old. It also demonstrates how the weaknesses in one person may be the strengths in the other person, and together they are whole. Both characters have to overcome internal and external battles to that happy ever after, but it's a battle of which the reader wants to be a part.
This book delivers a powerful lover story. Jacki Frank is a master story teller.

Summary: Painful
Comment: I did read the first in this series, Jacob, and felt it was a decent start to a new series. So, when I found a cheap used copy of this one, I figured what the heck?
Ugh, I wish I hadn't bothered. I didn't even finish it, and I just don't NOT finish a book. It's only happened less than a handful of times.
I felt like it took way too long to get to the story for this book. It seemed like a quarter of the book was spent rehashing the first one. And not even creatively. The dialogue felt so forced and obvious, I thought I was reading a bad Soap Opera's script or something.
I got more than half way through it, and never once could connect to the main characters. Or, should I say, who the main characters are supposed to be. There's so much involving other characters, I felt Gideon and Legna, were almost side story.
Not sure if I could make myself read the next one. But who knows... I can be a glutton for punishment.

Summary: ÉÍÔÅRESTING
Comment: THE THEME OF THE BOOK IS QUITE ORIGINAL AND THE CHARACTERS VIVID. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE AREN'T MANY DIALOGUES AND THERE ARE A LOT OF BORING DESCRIPTIONS. THE NARRATOR TENDS TO PROVIDE THE READER WITH FAR TOO MANY DETAILS. I REACHED A POINT WHERE I SKIPPED WHOLE PAGES SIMPLY BECAUSE I GOT TOO BORED READING ABOUT THE CHARACTER'S THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS. NEVERTHELESS THE STORY ITSELF IS ORIGINAL AND I LOOK FORWARD TO LEARNING WHAT HAPPENS WITH REST OF THE CHARACTERS.
