Damien

Nightwalkers Series, Book 4

By: Jacquelyn Frank

Narrated by: Xe Sands

Length: 11 hrs

Publisher's summary

He'd never loved. But she was irresistible.

As reigning Vampire Prince, Damien has tasted every pleasure the world has to offer - consorting with kings and queens and delighting in sensual adventure. Now, tired of such pursuits, he devotes his energies to protecting his people. The war between human necromancers and Nightwalkers has escalated, and when the enemy makes a daring move, kidnapping Syreena, a Lycanthrope Princess, Damien boldly follows. He succeeds in rescuing her, but is unprepared for the erotic longing her lush sensuality awakens in him.

Gifted with rare abilities, Syreena grew up in a cloistered setting and was forbidden to form attachments to others, yet the connection Damien feels with her is immediate, intoxicating, and impossible for either to resist. But claiming Syreena as his mate could have shattering repercussions for every Nightwalker - and leave their enemies more dangerous than ever before.

Spend some more time with the Nightwalkers - if you dare.

Critic reviews

"Frank's latest Nightwalker entry is fast-paced and steamy, nicely developing the world of her generally upstanding, gorgeous and charismatic supernatural creatures." (Publishers Weekly)

Great continuation of the Nightwalkers series!

Any additional comments?

Sands has created a world to dive into and stay for a while. This world is getting bigger and the characters do not dissapoint. Love and committment are challeged from within and from without. The enemies are getting stronger and you are not sure who to trust anymore.Unpredictable! This one is missing a strong ending but certainly makes you jump for the next book in the series.

The may conflict is starting to drag

I liked the story overall, however, the main conflict between Ruth and her group and our heros is dragging. I think that a resolution with a new conflict developing would have kept the series more interesting; in my opinion. I am going to go to the next book but if the action doesn't pick up it may be the last one I will purchase.

The narration is a bore...YAWN

What did you love best about Damien?

I did like the story. However, ended up purchasing this on Kindle to read. Just can't stand the "Lithium +Xanax" narration. I mean, really?! The narrator is have or full-pon baked, and asleep. AWFUL!!!

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The story is fine. I preferred to actually "read" it than listen to the audio.

How could the performance have been better?

As mentioned above, HORRID! Ms. Xe Sands sounds like she's overdosed on every kind of "down" med there is?!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Book - OK. Narration - SUCKS

EXCELLENT SERIES

You will fall in love with all of them and be in the edge of your seat absolutely love the narrator she does an amazing phenomenal job

Fractured Fairytale

This is an interesting story of a Prince & Princess who face some extraordinary challenges. I would have liked this story more if there wasn't the constant irritation of Damien's closest friend- I absolutely hated her and her influence in upcoming stories has me hesitating to read more.

Pure sweet treat for my ears

This series just gets better. If you like this genre then I'm sure you'll love this series. It's just so good. Just make sure you start with the first book to get the maximum enjoyment.

I was doubtful about this one...

I wasn't sure, from reading the synopsis that I would like this book as much as I liked the previous ones in the series. I was also concerned about some of the reviews of this book, which weren't as positive as those of previous books. But I really like Jacquelyn Frank's writing and think that Xe Sands is a great narrator, so I went for it.

I definitely don't regret it. I loved this book just as much as I've loved every previous one. I'm still amazed that I'm 4 books into this series and it's still keeping me hooked. The writing is still good, the story is still great, the world is still interesting and the pairings off the main characters are passionate and believable.

2 things: First, my biggest complaint about Ms Frank's writing is the over-use of the word 'However'. I've mentioned this before in previous reviews and this book is better about it in most places, than other books in the series. Second, the 'best friend' of Damien is a pain in the rear. I definitely hated this character by the end of the story and a previous review says she has her own book later in the series which I'm having difficulty looking forward to. It's going to be interesting to see if she can be redeemed.

crazy,sexy cool

what can i say but damien ozzes crazy,sexy,cool out his pures. there is nothing left to say.

I read the book years ago!

After listening to the audiobook, I am still glad I read it first!
I still enjoyed the story of Damien and Serena's love story! With Helen and her vengeful evil still on the loose, it was highly entertaining. I really like Jasmine too!
The character's from the other books make an appearance, and tie the storyline together seamlessly!!

Great Book
