En 2008 leí The empath, el primer libro de la saga de Draicon Werewolf, un libro entretenido sobre un chico que pertenecía a un raza con la que no se identificaba y que quería escapar de ella al conocer a la protagonista femenina. No continué con la saga porque nunca despertó en mi el interés que si habían despertado otras muchas autoras de fantasía romántica

So I read the Draicon novella which Goodreads says is the prequel, and it had nothing to do with this universe except for the mention of Draicon. This story however, explains Draicon's much better. Apparently they are wolf-shifters who came from another dimension at some point in the past, but live here now. Nicolas, the hero of this story, is a Draicon and a beta warrior for his pack, from which he's been banished. But he still fights the "Morphs" or Draicons who turned evil and can now shift into anything they want to keep his pack safe against their leader, Kane. In order to defeat this leader, Nicolas needs to find his mate, Maggie, the long lost path Empath who is destined to defeat him. When he finds her, she's in complete denial about her shifter abilities and a total pacifist, refusing to kill even a cockroach. But Nicolas has to prepare her for her destiny, help her come to grips with her abilities and their eventual mating. But as he gets closer to Maggie, he begins to realize that he doesn't want to change her peaceful and gentle nature, but how else is she supposed to defeat Kane?
So this was a very interesting premise. It had a lot of the hallmarks of paranormal shifter romance, what with the instinctual mating (and the attraction attached to it), the mate bond, etc. I was actually pretty impressed with how complex this universe seemed to be and that all the rules were pretty well explained. I wasn't left with any questions. Nicolas was a decent enough hero, though I constantly questioned his apparent belief that he could connect with his mate, share thoughts and emotions and all that and not fall in love with her. It seemed inevitable to me. Maggie was quite a bit more frustrating. Her continued denial of what was smack in front of her face, her need to "study" her gift and her outright refusal to trust Nicolas when he'd already saved her bacon frustrated me. Maybe it was just too much and she annoyed me. She improved though. This was a good story, and I'm rather interested to read the next one about Damian and Jamie.
One thing I do question here is the double standard of virginity. Why is it that the guy gets to have sex with all these women (in order to replenish his energy) while waiting for his mate, but the heroine was more or less asexual, since she claimed that no one had interested her in that way? This is presumably because only her mate could tempt her thusly. Which is kind of ridiculous since she's 27.

The Empath
3 Stars
Nicolas is the strongest and fiercest warrior amongst the Draicon. Following his exile from the pack, Nicolas is still determined to protect his fellow wolves by locating the long-lost empath. Maggie Sinclair is a dedicated veterinarian unaware of her true nature until she becomes the target of the Draicon's enemies.
The basic premise of The Empath is similar to many books in this subgenre of paranormal romance and does not offer anything truly original. Moreover, the characters are very one-dimensional and not particularly likable.
Maggie's constant denial of her empathic abilities despite irrefutable evidence becomes tiresome after a while. Similarly, Nick's tendency toward running hot and cold on the issue of consummating his relationship with Maggie is also annoying - either he needs to mate with Maggie to ensure her safety and save his alpha or he doesn't!
The villains are more slimy and disgusting than truly threatening although the climax and resolution are action packed and satisfying.
All in all, there are better werewolf series available and the secondary couple are not interesting enough to continue on to the next installment.

November 20, 2007A story about werewolves. The heroine does not realise that she is werewolf and only knows that she is different from others. Her destined mate finds here and must convince her that she is werewolf and that she belongs with him.

For a cover that was so bizarrely chest-baring for the Paranormal Romance genre in 2007, I was really just disappointed at how exceedingly heteronormative this novel was. A fun one to read sentences aloud to my friends from, however.

Aku suka sekali dengan kisah Nicolas dan Maggie. Kisah mereka sangat luar biasa. Aku bahkan bisa merasakan apa yang dirasakan oleh mereka. Dan aku sangat bersimpati kepada Nicolas my lovely draicon 😍

2.5 ⭐
I enjoyed the book in the first half; however, the female lead was quite irritating in terms of her acceptance of being a werewolf. A few times this occurred, and she still denied it, which was more than enough proof to explain what was happening, and that was slightly annoying for me. The plot was okay, but I think both the male and female leads were difficult to sympathise with and relate to.

Refreshing take on Werewolves and a good kick off to what looks like a great shifter series.
Description:
THE WOLF MUST HAVE A MATE TO SURVIVE...
Nicolas was the strongest and fiercest of the Draicon, until he was banished for a trumped-up crime. Now the werewolf has only one path to redemption; find the Draicon's long-lost empath, the woman who will save the pack--and Nicolas himself--from terrible danger. Maggie Sinclair is a veterinarian, dedicated to healing. She has no idea of her true nature, the magic waiting in her soul--or the man coming to claim her. The survival of their pack depends on them finding each other, on their ability to become one. But their enemies have also found Maggie, and will kill to stop her awakening to an all-consuming passion...
My Thoughts:
Werewolves or Draicons as they are in this series was an inspired look at the werewolf legend. The mystical presence and magic crosses sub-genres in the PNR world. Nicolas was a true stoic hero, misunderstood with a stiff upper lip. I adored him Bonnie Vanak gave him a depth of character that I wish she had explored further, introducing his artistic side then to make a point that he had softer edges was great but I would like to have seen it somehow brought back in the epilogue so that it another reason for making it a character trait. Maggie was another thing altogether, I liked her but didn't "feel" her to the same depth as I felt Nicolas. I understood the childhood trama but she still came off as too stubborn to me...and that fact that she went with the pack "hunting" I just couldn't figure out after her angst about it and hystria it seemed out of character. I loved the creativity of Bonnie Vanak's writing how her mind interweaves the relationships of good vs evil and how in some there is a hint of good that if nurtured would grow. I am anxious to see where Jamie and Daimon's story goes and hope we get another meeting with Nicholas and Maggie as the series progresses.
I gave this book a solid 3 stars and will be reading the next. I would recommend this to readers who are looking for something different. However I recommend they begin with this book and not the .5 as listed on BV's website.

After recently reading the latest book in the Draicon Werewolf series, I decided to go back and see where the series began. I can't say it measured up to The Shadow Wolf. More like it suffers from first-bookitis. There are glimpses of what I enjoyed so much in the later installment, but it didn't quite hit the mark.
The story centers on Nicolas, the Beta for his werewolf pack. Right now, he is banished from the pack. And the only way he can get back in, is to find his fated mate Maggie and return her to their people. Maggie was part of the pack as a child, but she has been lost to them for many years. She lost her memories of the wolves after her parents died... so she has no idea what she is. Not only is she a wolf, but she is also a rare Empath. She is skilled in healing and is prophesied to lead her people against their enemy race, the Morphs.
I can't say that I loved Maggie as a heroine. She was really kind of a whiner. "Oh Nicolas, I just can't kill animals. An ant is a living creature." Gag. I know that she's got a lot to take in, but I found myself frustrated with her for much of the book. Nicolas is a bit better... an ok tortured hero. But he walks the line of martyr on occasion, as well.
I can tell you that there was great sexual tension and the love scenes rocked. There was plenty of action too. The world building was fair. But if I had read this before trying out a later book in the series, I don't know if I would have ventured on to another installment. It was ok. A little more than 3 stars.
P.S. Who comes up with cover art like this? It looks like the heroine is doing uncomfortable things to the hero's backside. Horrible.

Bonnie Vanak has been a favourite since her first book from Dorchester, The Falcon and the Dove. She has a talent for writing, whether it is Historical Romance or Paranormal Romance, she is proving adept at both genres.
She plays with a wonderful grasp of characters, she grabs your sense of fair play and right and draws you in by inendo and touches of evil and malificence, then brings the hero and heroine in to combat the very forces that would pull them apart.
The Emapath is no different, and is a masterfully written tale of love, longing, and belonging on a scale that leaves one breathless. Maggie is stubborn, independent, and totally unaware of the danger. Her coldly logical mind cannot fathom her beginnings, a tragedy too harsh has locked away vital information. Only the lone, tough wolf. Nicolas, her lover and destined mate will be able to breach the memories, and bring her back to the dying pack. This is what Damian, the pack's dominant and yet dying leader hopes. That is why he sends Nicolas, the pack Beta, his banished second in command to find her. In Maggie's skilled hands, Damian believes they can possibly find the answer to their survival, and a cure for Damian's magiocally inflicted illness. Nicolas has faith in himself, loyalty to the pack, and has many hidden secrets from all but Damian. It is his unswerving loyalty that makes Damian sure of his success, in spite of the rest of the pack's reservations.
Available from Harlequin books, The Empath by Bonnie Vanak is definitely a must read for Paranormal and other Romance lovers.

Silhouette and Harlequin books can be good for a quick read and I was looking forward to The Empath based on other reviews elsewhere. That said, I finished the book but it could have been so much better. Let's talk about Nicolas-the-Man-Tease. Supposedly Maggie-the-Empath doesn't know her history. She was raised by foster parents and had blacked out the past prior to living with humans. She thinks she is human, too. Add to that, she is a virgin. Here comes Nicolas who believes in control, control, control. He starts something with her, she lets down her inhibitions and then, "No. Not now." This goes on for awhile. Puh-lease.
Then there is the continual explaining of the Morphs, and what evil they can do. Once, yes....twice, OK.....three times, boring. I gave Maggie credit since she had the intellect to become a veterinarian that she didn't need the constant explanations. But Ms. Vanak plays her differently. She is in constant denial and Nicolas repeats himself on these issues numerous times throughout the story.
Also, Maggie knows she can heal animals sometimes yet she doesn't want to believe she is the Empath-a healer. Again, come on. I love a good paranormal book but I don't like it when the characters are written as stupid. I know, I know, I shouldn't expect so much from a Silhouette but if I pay for a book I want it to at least be interesting. This book just didn't cut it.

This was a good book with an interesting storyline, but having read some of Vanak's books and loving them, I wasn't blown away with it, although it did have some exciting moments and was very well-written. I realize that the first book in a series tends to be the weakest, and I took that in stride. I think it was also the matter of it taking a little too long to realize what Nicolas' motivations are and not understanding why he was so dogmatic about making Maggie into a cold-blooded killer of their enemies. At the same time, once I got into the book, I didn't want to put it down. I like the direction that Ms. Vanak took with the werewolf theme, although it was pretty odd and unusual at first. The attraction between Nicolas and Maggie was fiery and the love scenes were scorching. Overall, I enjoyed this book and was eager to read the next book in the series, Enemy Lover. Actually being introduced to Jamie and Damian, I was very eager to read the next book.

I actually drifted to a halt on this book a while ago, but as I'm looking at all the things I have and want to read next year (and let's not kid ourselves, the next several) the fact that I've had little desire to pick it up again means that ultimately it just wasn't for me.
The book started out with great promise, honestly. I was drawn in and enjoyed the story and characters enough to read halfway through. Unfortunately, that's where the forward momentum ground to a halt for me. Yes, the romance is important, particularly in a romance novel, but it felt like the pacing and plot was sacrificed for the needed/expected romance to become the focus for a while. When there was a blend of plot and romance-building, I was all in.
Granted, I am reading this with a 2013 desire and the book was published in 2007. (That's how far behind I am.) That might have something to do with it. I'm not giving up on Ms. Vanak, just this particular book.

* "The Empath" is Maggie, a stupid, selfish, cowardly, blindly disobedient vet created by Bonnie Vanak, with explicit lust in most chapters, bloody violence in the others, and sprinkled with good Draicon vs. bad Morph jargon. (If female is draicara, why not morphara?) Brave werewolf Nick sends warning, soothing thoughts, and races to protect his future mate. Only she can heal (why?) the new disease afflicting even the leader of their pack, numbering dozens in New Mexico. By killing a close relative, their kind transform into foul smelling shape-shifters then disguise as any animal, from poisonous ant to dragon-like monster. Only long-lost Maggie can destroy the villain chief. (Why? Legend says.) [So why does the good leader do the deed?]

i was so looking forward to reading this book it sounded really god. however i found it really disappionting with the werewolves almost being a backstory. it could have been so much more like please be more creative we only saw the character through werewolves eyes once when she could have given the reader a very sureal experince! it's now i realise how good stephanie myers is. and the character were way too lay back maggie just went along blindly with out a fight - the small amount resistance she showed was pathetic. where as anyone else would have been totally freaked out and fighting tooth and nail!!
February 25, 2009
A werewolf that doesn't know she's a werewolf and the lone wolf that loves her and needs her to help save the pack from the evil Morphs. Sound unrealistic? Perhaps but that's the point of the Nocturne series of romances and boy are they great.
Maggie and Nicholas are great characters that you can't help but come to love, especially Maggie's devotion to her dog Misha. And the chemistry between the hero and the heroine is electric! Definitely worth the read, if you like darker tales of love.
Spooky and steamy. A great combination.
This one was a great read, perfect for a dark and stormy night.

I didn't like Nicolas - the overly aggressive, bossy, take charge beta who acted like an alpha. He hunted down and basically kidnapped his mate and transported her to his home for ulterior motives. Maggie is one of those TSTL heroines who really got on my nerves with her "I won't hurt an animal" speech...again and again. Now I have nothing against animals, I personally would hurt a person before I'd hurt an animal. It was just the way she said it.
The ending was ok but a little too pat. It was left wide open for a sequel with the alpha Damian and his mate Jamie. Unfortunately, I didn't like the world building or the other wolves so I won't be continuting this series.

Hmm, akhirnya ada juga Nocturne yang aku suka ;D
Jalinan ceritanya mengalir lancar, terjemahannya juga bagus, chemistry Nicolas dan Maggie sangat terasa, mungkin karena kedua bisa saling membaca pikiran sehingga jarang terjadi kesalahpahaman layaknya cerita-cerita di seri lainnya.
Intinya walau harus kecewa karena buku yang aku pinjam dari rental ini cacat dengan hilangnya 63 halaman, namun aku tidak menyesal sudah membaca Nocturne kali ini, ha3
Edit: statusnya sekarang sudah tidak lagi cuma pinjam karena baru saja buku ini terbeli dengan harga 10k saja, hahaha

Dibaca sebelum punya akun Goodreads & pinjam di taman bacaan dekat kampus/rumah. Tentu saja ga inget ceritanya ya Bestie :') . Salah satu novel pararom lini Harlequin Nocturne yang dibaca (sekarang sih udah ga ada lininya, sayang banget). Lucunya, baca lanjutannya ini yang Enemy Lover malah dalam bahasa aslinya, saking ga sabaran

Caira : satu untuk selamanya, dalam bahasa kuno draicon.
penuh action, & ga lupa love story nya. akhirnya ada juga werewolf yg menurut gw bisa sekeren vampir, walaupun yg ini lebih ke shape shifter. tapi Nicolas itu perwujudan dari seorang werewolf tangguh, prajurit, lembut, keren & beda dalam saat bersamaan. ga nyesel kok bacanya. ^^

Maggie had spent her life running away from her true home. Nicolas had spent his life desperately trying to find his.
Thet were both finally home. And here they would stay.
The End
An ending like a true romance novel.....
It was a quick enjoyable read.
Something light to read between the other "thinking" fantasy and fiction.

Cerita:
Ceritanya khas untuk jenis nocturne. "Fall to your biggest enemy". Tapi yang paling menarik adalah endingnya, sedikit mengingatkan pada Dante Raintree entah mengapa. ;D
Nilai plus: adegan hot minim guntingan ;p

Draicon? Draicarra? Empath? Morph?
I don't understand what the author talking about in the beginning. I just understand one by one and almost in the ending.
At all, for fantasy book, this book is average. For fun, it's ok, to read this book. ^-^

Enjoy this book but dunno why I can't seem to bring myself to give 4 stars to this one [hmpfh] Maybe coz nocturne is not one of my fave genre ^^
