I don´t understand why this e-book has high ratings. I was deceived by these ratings and I lost my time (I cant stop reading a book in the middle even when I do not like it, I always hope it gets better)
Night Marchers has a poor writing, with a constant switch between past and present tense, extensive descriptions that don´t contribute in anything and characters quite unreal. The worst is that nothing happens until the middle of the book. I even wonder if it has any plot beyond Emma and his fath...more

It's a really, really good book don't get me wrong. But how can i say this, I'm not crazy about it, normally i'm in a book, like in in it but with this i wasn't. I could put it down half way and i wouldn't be rushing or feeling the need or desperation to get back into it and finish it off. I read it twice as at first i lost the plot of it all. It was an easy and simple read, a tad boring at times but it was good. The ending was the best part as it wasn't a predictable one, it shocked me a little...more

When I read the summary for this book at first I thought that this book wouldn't be all that good, but then I was fooled because I really enjoyed this book and I would love to read the second book.
I decided to read this book because I wanted to fill my fantasy category on the Bingo board. I absolutely LOVED this book. There was Drama, there was Romance and a bit of Comedy now and then. I just couldn't stop reading once I started. The book was about 17 year old Emma Townsend whose father documents paranormal activity for a living. Her father was hired by a rich couple in Hawaii, the Kealoha's, and they have to move because of this. She was absolutely devastated about leaving her hometown,...more
I’ve had this book in my TBR pile for somewhere close to ten months now, and I was really looking forward to reading it as I’ve read the first book in their Project ELE series and loved it. My impression of the blurb was promises of mystery, intrigue, suspense, and maybe a few chills. At least, that’s what I thought I was going to find in this story when I read the blurb before I downloaded this book. Alas, what I got instead was something completely different.

Emma is a (very) simple Texas girl, forced to move to Hawaii for her dad's new job. Don't get me wrong, I love the girl but boy is she daft at times. And sometimes irritating too. For instance, Tristan asks her about music and she immediately says, 'Oh, I love Country Music!' I was like, yeah, that's my girl! Until she listed Taylor Swift, The Band Perry and Zack Brown Band as her favourites. To me, that's not country, it's pop. Strange girl.

I loved this book. I couldn't put this down and was turning pages like a maniac and staying up waaaay past even 'normal' late night reading. I like the characters and the story line. Although it was a little slow in the beginning, it was a leading to the point and giving a little info. I would read this again. This had me holding my breath, smiling, feeling a little sad, and sitting on the edge of my seat. The ending totally left me hanging....GRRRR! If I'd known how good this was and that it wo...more
So, now I am done the book. THANK GOD! This book was so horrible it made me want to rip out my eyes. Did the author not think about what she was writing? "I want to be a virgin till I'm married but wait let me make-out with different guys" Also there were to many problems and not enough reasoning why, the author tried to pound you with so much information that you never really got enough of any one thing. It really saddens me that this book didn't turn out better because it sounded like it had g...more
This book was amazing! I could not put it down. In a way I understand were Emma was coming from when she was being moved away from her BFI! I have moved from mine so many times that I am so grateful that we stayed in touch. Funny thing is I live in Texas like Emma did lol so I could relate on some level, not that I have moved out of state just towns over. When Emma moved to Hawaii, I was just like wow, how nice would that be. The way the authors described it in a way I felt as though I was there...more
Night Marchers was a great book and love the storyline. Let me tell you Emma is just wanting to finish high school and go to the same college with her best friend but her dad has other plans like up and move to Hawaii cause he ends up with a job offer he couldn't pass up. They get to Hawaii and thought she will be homesick but faith has other plans for her like meeting Tristan & Kai which i might add they both fall for her and she falls for them as well. Meeting some Night Marchers which is...more
Night Marchers is about a 17 year old girl named Emma who is forced to move away from her home in Texas to an all new experience in Hawaii where her father has been hired for a very important job. "Never Lock Eyes With A Night Marcher" is the saying for all Hawaiian's but being new Emma hadn't heard it, and she does just that. A curse is placed upon her. She goes on the run with a mysterious guy who will go out of his way to protect her. Will she fight to end the curse or will the Night Marchers...more

5*****s!! I LOVED this book! It was full of alot of surprises and action! I totally fell in love with Kai and his desperation to keep Emma safe from the Night Marchers, and how much love and affection Kai gives to Emma! To know that Kai cant die is.....WOW! Jabbing himself in the heart and dropping, then Emma pulling out the knife, he just pops back alive. Thats my favorite part. The last result to get Emma to trust Kai! Then Kai's evil brother who is part of the Night Marchers, boy he is sure s...more

In all honesty, I read this book as part of a challenge, and because it was convenient for me as a Kindle Freebie. I think from my experience with this book, as well as many other PNR books I have read recently, most YA PNR books aren't for me, although they might be suitable for another audience.

Sadly, I was not able to finish this novel. I realize that this e-book has high ratings. I do not mean any offense to the writer(s) and don't want to stir any drama, but this is my honest opinion of the book.

I got this for free on amazon, so I didn't expect it to be good. I was surprised to find it was a fairly good book. There are a few things that I didn't like, however.
First, there were a few grammatical errors. It wasn't a big deal, but I'm somewhat OCD about grammar, so that was just a minor irritation.
The problem was the love triangle. It was...I don't know. It just didn't sit well with me. The two guys are Tristan, a local Hawaiian, and Kai, an immortal-by-accident who knows quite a lot about...more

I loved this story! It was really different from anything I have read and it was about something I have never heard of...The Night Marchers!
Night Marchers are ghostly apparitions of a band of beings who move with purpose to the beat of primitive pounding drums. Some say they are armed spirit warriors en route to or from battle, toting archaic weaponry and clothed in decorated helmets and cloaks. Other accounts tell of high-ranking alii (ruler) spirits being guided to places of high importance or...more

Night Marchers is a YA book that takes the beautiful island of Hawaii and explores some of the darker paranormal history about it. The story is told through the eyes of the teenage Emma who is ripped from her life in Texas when her father gets a job offer too good to resist.
Whilst initially reluctant to leave her home Emma quickly becomes accostomed to the new way of life and as is typical for teenage girls is helped in her transition by a rather good looking teenage boy.

This book is a big fat 2.5
There is nothing fantastic about this book and I'm really disappointed that with two authors they made so many spelling and grammar mistakes. The story line was good, but the prose washorrible abhorrent terrifyingly bad inconsistent. There was a confusing mix of formal and colloquial language and everything needed exclamation points! Because every piece of food was amazing! And everyone felt like family in two seconds or under! And all the boys were so sweet! And sin...more

Pretty good little read.Emma not happy about her dad's new job moving her away from Texas and her BBI.But she is in for a surprise when she arrives on the Island of Hawaii.The place is beautiful and the new house that the Kealoha's has set up for them is totally amazing! Complete with a house keep/cook with a HAWT son!! What more could a teenage girl ask for? But there are some island tales and creepy eyes lingering.

I received this book from the authors for a honest review. Emma moves to Hawaii with her father so he could work on a new paranormal case as he is a paranormal investigator. She has for the most part been kept away from her dad's job. She meets Tristan and they soon become close friends and even start to fall for each other. She keeps seeing a stranger watching her and later meets hims one night while she was out. She has been told to keep in doors at night but never why. She finds out when she...more
A wonderful Captivating story Curses, LOVE, Ancient beliefs with the island feel :) Def a good read
This is an interesting story told as the first person. Emma is 17 and is told by her dad that they are leaving Texas and moving to Hawaii about 4 months before she is due to graduate. Big sulks but she goes and when she gets there, she loves it. Of course, it might help that hero number 1, Tristan, is there to make things a bit easier.
She is warned by more than one person not to be out after dark but no one will tell her why. When, by accident, she finds herself alone, in the dark, and in danger...more

I got this as a free kindle book, and am rating it based on its peers (being, free/cheap kindle self-pubs). Otherwise, I'd have to give it a lower rating. Here's the deal: Cool story, neat idea, compelling characters... BAD/no editing. It could be so much better if there weren't so many misspellings, and more annoyingly, mixed metaphors and malapropisms. Every time I'd hit one, I'd wince and totally be distracted from the story line by my overwhelming desire to correct the problem. I actually fa...more
I loved the story and the characters. I was just highly distracted by all the misused and misspelled words. Other than that, it was a great read and definitely worth checking out
A very nice read, with discriptions of Hawaii that I sware left me smelling flowers in the living room! At times I felt like I was there. We start off meeting Emma who is being moved from her friends and school "to another country" as her dad starts a new job assignment for a weathly family. Her dad is a paranormal investigator and has been hired to research the night marchers, and thou he tries to keep Emma out of the paranomal world she finds herself unwillingly sucked in when she looks a nigh...more
I can't believe I read as much of this book as I did. The storyline moves at the pace of a snail, the writing goes back and forth between past-tense and present-tense so often that it's difficult to keep up, and the dialog is cheesy. By almost halfway in, I still had no idea what the main plot of the story was. All I read about was how pretty Emma's room was, and how cute Tristan was. Honestly, I kept waiting to find out that Tristan was gay. I don't mean to be insulting to the author; however,...more
