But one woman will tempt him with a desire unlike anything he has known, and together they will face a terrifying and relentless foe… They are the Nightwalkers, mysterious beings who dwell in the shadows of our world, and Damien, the Vampire Prince, is among the most powerful of them all.

There’s nothing special about this entry. I can recommend this to anyone who is following the series – if you’ve liked the past novels, you’ll like this one and the reverse is true too. This fact appears to be lost on our intrepid heroes and heroines, however. My only question is, if these revelations were known once and lost to history on purpose, perhaps that was done for a reason. There are some revelations about the Nightwalker races and intermarrying that were interesting. I want more meat/conflict for my characters and I don’t really get that from Frank’s books. Where things fail for me in the Nightwalkers books is the emotional tension and personality conflicts between characters (or the lack thereof). The villains continue to be good and the action interesting – two of my favorite elements of Frank’s books. Never really felt a kinship with the heroine. What I wasn’t so crazy about with Damien was I never really liked the hero. I was very pleased to see that, and so was my patience. There’s still a bit more prose than necessarily required but I never felt put-upon like I have in the other three books. Remember how in my review of Elijah I basically skewered the author’s tendency to drive a point home, then up the driveway, into the garage, and into bed, rather than just leaving it at the curb for the reader to interpret? This tendency appears to have actually improved in Damien.

Read on to find out what appears to be getting better with Frank’s writing… Fun, interesting reads, but nothing spectacular. I liked Elijah more, but this one, Jacob, and Gideon were on par with each other. This fourth book of Frank’s Nightwalkers series is consistent with the rest.
