Forbidden: World of Nightwalkers, Book 1

De: Jacquelyn Frank

Narrado por: Xe Sands

The unexpected happens in an instant. On her way to work, secretary Docia Waverley hurtles into a crashing crossroads, and she quickly begins to suspect that things will never be the same. Then, when a tall, blond, muscular stranger intervenes on her behalf, telling her it is his duty to protect her at all cost, what is just a feeling turns to proof positive. That is, as long as Docia's savior doesn't turn out to be a crazed kidnapper....

When Ram finds Docia, he has no doubt that she is his queen. But as this golden warrior sweeps in to protect her, he feels something more than body heat every time they touch. He is overwhelmed by a searing connection that goes deep into the twin souls inside him. A desire rises in him that is forbidden - this woman is his queen, the mate of his king, his leader, his best friend. And yet Docia is so vulnerable and attractive that she awakens a hunger in Ram that is undeniable, a carnal craving he cannot yield to...not without risking the very survival of the Bodywalkers.

Different

The Judge and Jury is still out on this, I really did not care for this new series as much as the others.. If you read " The Host" by Stephanie Meyer's the story is somewhat like that. Except one has to die and agree to share their body with the spirit of the body walker One minute you may be hearing the main character and the next the other personality So basically you have two individuals sharing a body. I may or may not go on to the second book. Read or listen for yourself and see if you like it. The narrator does and excellent job and there is a twist to it, not a bad story,
just different.

Good but kind of weird.

Would you be willing to try another book from Jacquelyn Frank? Why or why not?

If it was a different series. I think it’s a good listen but I thought it was kind of hard to really understand the "blending" or the idea of two different personalities in one body. During certain conversations it was difficult to keep up with remembering who said what! Overall, not bad but I probably won’t continue the series.

fun take on history

I love how it brings the history into this Era. I'm in chapter 7 and already hanging on to every word

BRILLIANT FOUNDATION TO A WHOLE NEW SERIES

If you love paranormal/romances (as I do) then you should love this and, although J.F.'s books are relatively new to Audible, I think her books are awesome. At the time of death some deserving few are given the choice of allowing an ancient Egyptian to share their bodies and they become a Bodywalker. The story builds as Docia is murdered and chooses to become a Bodywalker she wakes up and meets Vincent/Ramases (enter handsome blonde hunk) who is also a Bodywalker and there's an instant attraction. However, Ram (who is No.2 in the pecking order) thinks Docia is off limits to him because he must just protecter her as she is possessed by his Queen and she is destined for someone else - his King when he can find a suitable body to inhabit and join her.

Eventually, we find the story is ultimately about a civil war between the Politico Bodywalkers who think they should 'share' a person's body/soul and the Templars who think they should 'dominate' and completely take over a person's body once they die. Both sides have been fighting for supremacy for hundreds of years and, as they each get killed off, they have to wait for the next suitable body for them to inhabit and then they return to the fight - but this time around things are going to change.

It's got lots of great characters and creatures who all help to build a funny, sad, emotional, passionate, pleasurable and imaginative journey into this new series.

Worth a credit? If you're into a series that puts a whole new spin on the paranormal romance world then it has to be a YES and if you're a J.F. fan then it has to be a YES too.

What! Frank has just made my night!!!

Ummmm... Ok... Nightwalker! Do I even need to say more! Frank is going to make a WORLD of Nightwalkers now... OMG!!! I am sooo there...

I totally loved the Nightwalker series... Jacob and Adam where like the best books I have ever read/listen to in my lifetime and with none other than Xe Sands narration, and now we have a whole new series with more of Xe.. Yes Yes Yes!!!

This was such a great start, and soooo freakin funny. I was suprised for Frank. Doica is such an off the wall character with all her cooky sayings and these bodywalker nightwalkers, what a good concept. Good job Frank! I was a little worry when Ram was clearly inlove with the wrong woman, but it all worked out.

What I loved was who Ram really is.. OMG!!! Let me just say, I love Eygptians themes, and the way Frank worked it into this book was sooo awesome. I am on pins and needles for the next book! I mean she even worked in mummification.. OMG! Come on! SOOOO GOOD!!!

Like I said, Xe Sands is just the best narrator on the freakin planet! If Frank keep getting Xe to narrate her books, she will be an audible millionare!!! lololol....

Buy this/credit this/ keep this because the series is gonna be awesome!!!!

Forever is next... and I can't wait!!!!
