Nightwalker

For centuries Mira has been a nightwalker-an unstoppable enforcer for a mysterious organization that manipulates earth-shaking events from the darkest shadows. But elemental mastery over fire sets her apart from others of her night-prowling breed . . . and may be all that prevents her doom. The foe she now faces is human: the vampire hunter called Danaus, who has already destroyed so many undead. For Mira, the time has come to hunt . . . or be hunted.

Nightwalker

The First Dark Days Novel
One

His name was Danaus. And what I remember most were his eyes. I saw them first by lamplight; a flicker of dark cobalt as he paused a distance from me. His eyes were the color sapphires were meant to be, a grim sparkle of pigment. I stared at those eyes, willing time to slow down as I slipped into those still, stygian depths. But it wasn't the waters of the Styx I swam in, but a cool lagoon of Lethe where I bathed in a moment of oblivion.

He stopped on the deserted street outside the edge of a pale pool of light thrown down by a wrought-iron lamp, his eyes darting up and down the empty expanse. He drew in a deep breath. I think he could sense me watching from some perch but could not peg my exact location. His right hand flexed once at his side, and to my surprise he stepped forward into the light, his night vision momentarily destroyed; taunting me with the bait he dangled before my eyes.

I slowly ran my tongue over my teeth. Not only was he impressive to look at, but there was a confidence about him that begged my attention. I was half t ... read full excerpt from: Nightwalker ebook

	Dark Days are coming... 09/08/2009
Reviewer: Persephone from England
Nightwalker was an unexpected gem of a book for me. I've had a lot of trouble with new authors lately, but this book really surprised me. Mira has been a nightwalker (a vampire) for centuries. But she has a secret that makes her a very valuable commodity, or target, depending on the person -- the unique ability to summon fire. Fire being fatal to all nightwalkers but her. Enter the enigmatic Danaus (a vampire hunter) with his own mysterious past. As the book opens Mira has been watching him in her territory for some time, and she seems pleased to have finally met her match -- someone she deems worth killing. However, the cat and mouse game between them quickly turns into something far larger than just their desire to off one another. The wheels of fate are in motion and Mira soon learns that an ancient enemy are once more planning to open a portal between worlds. The naturi are returning and only Mira is in any position to stop them. Nightwalker is well written in a lush prose; it is extremely atmospheric. The cover makes it look like a bad romance novel, but it is actually a very fine urban fantasy. The idea of the naturi was also clever; the interwoven history of the naturi, the bori, and the nightwalkers is cleverly done. I adored Mira. Hers was a refreshing voice and I liked that she didn't sleep with anyone in this book! She was intelligent, otherworldly, but was never too cold and distant that she wasn't relatable. Danaus was ok, although I liked him far more when he displayed the odd moment of humour. There were a lot of secondary characters in the book whom I'm interested in seeing developed further -- notably, Tristan, James, and Ryan the leader of shadowy order 'Themis'. Ryan particularly seems like he could be a very compelling character. This book did lack humour but everything else made up for this. The great characterisation, the intriguing and fairly original plot, and the tangible atmosphere.

Mira enforces the vampire code of conduct in her domain. She meets Danaus, a hunter who has been tracking her, and the story takes off as they run for their lives, battle humans, vampire and fae, and travel the world in order to save it. The fae are trying to break a seal that was formed hundreds of years ago. Mira was involved then, but the experience was so terrible she repressed the memories. No one (human, vampire, fae, other?) trusts anyone else but they must work together to survive. And that's all the spoilers you get! Vivid descriptions, tight writing, unforgettable characters, perfect pace, and unstoppable villains make this one of the best books I've read in awhile. I can't wait for the next book to be released!

Reviewer: A viewer from Mandurah, NA AU
This book was one of the better action type books involving vampires for a long time.It was gory, but rather than detracting from the book, it enhaced it.There was not a huge amount of romance, in fact there was almost none.But there was a slight hint at possible future happenings.I think the author did a good job of portraying the aspects of what it eould be like to be a vampire.Overall an interesting read.
