Adam: The Nightwalkers by Jacquelyn Frank
Paranormal Romance – Oct. 25th, 2011
4 stars
Although I had thought Noah was to be the last entry in the Nightwalker series, the author has returned with the savagely stunning new hero, Adam. In this book, a young time traveler pulls a brutal Enforcer into the future to save her family and those she cares for.
It is the future. Leah's parents Jacob and Belle died when she was very young. They were killed by an evil mind demon named Ruth and her companion, the vampire Nicodemous. Ruth lives for vengeance after the death of her daughter and vows to destroy those responsible. Everyone from shifters to vampires and demons have been burned by her hate. But there is hope. Young Leah has the power to travel in time and rectify the past. If she dares. When she learns that her father had an older brother named Adam who mysteriously disappeared, she devises a plan to bring Adam back into the future to kill Ruth and Nicodemous before they can murder her parents. But by doing this rash act, will she have changed things for the better or the worse?
Adam is an Enforcer and proud of his heritage. Strong and brutal, he watches over the demon population. However, he soon finds himself having to watch himself! For Adam has found himself attracted to a vampire named Jasmine! Mating outside of the demon race is forbidden and Adam finds himself torn. When he is visited by a young child and asked to save his brother from harm, he wholeheartedly agrees. But he is shocked when he is swept away 400 years into the future! There he finds the alluring and saucy vampire named Jasmine again and, due to drastic changes in the demon society, their match is no longer forbidden.... Oh, temptation!
Jasmine was attracted to the demon Adam and never forget him but when he suddenly disappeared, she was devastated. Thinking herself abandoned, she can't believe her eyes when she sees him 400 years later and looking exactly the same. Will this time be forever?
I have mixed feelings about this book. While I loved returning to the Nightwalkers series, I imagined everyone in the Nightwalkers series living contently and happily. To read their suffering was a bit difficult for me since I had grown to care for them deeply. On the other hand, Adam and Jasmine are fantastic main characters, but it takes about almost a quarter way into the book before Adam even appears! The early part of the story concentrates on Leah. While I admired her courage and resourcefulness, Leah seemed a bit spoiled and bratty. Also, I didn't like how she manipulated Adam early in the story.
As I mentioned earlier, the author does a fantastic job of giving Adam depth. Once Adam appears in the story, I found myself very involved. He could have been a Neanderthal brute but I liked how he transforms into a complex hero. I also enjoyed his growing relationship with the tough and sassy Jasmine. I liked that Jasmine is strong and resourceful and can stand up to Adam’s fierce personality. I give this book 4 stars primarily for Adam and Jasmine wonderful personalities. Although Leah part moves along the plot and storyline, I found her a bit annoying and skipping her sections.

I agree completely Shannon- I never liked Jasmine anyway- and to kill off two loved characters and ruin the HEA makes it onto my who cares list. I'm sad about that.
Jacob & Isabella were two of my fav characters in this series. I was planning to read this book, but if it's true that they really die and aren't saved I don't think I want to read this book. I didn't like Jasamine all that much in the first place.
