GIDEON
The Nightwalkers- Book 2 They're called the Nightwalkers—proud, ancient beings who live in the shadows, existing just beyond the human world. But there are also dangerous humans who hunt them—necromancers who use the blackest magic to manipulate them. And for a Demon named Gideon, the battle against these evil forces will soon be all too personal.
AS A HEALER, HE KNOWS HER BODY.
BUT IT'S HER HEART HE WANTS.
BUT IT'S HER HEART HE WANTS.
For a thousand years, Gideon has healed his people. And as the oldest surviving male of his race, his wisdom has always been respected without question.
But Gideon knows that even he is vulnerable to the powerful, primitive desires that befall his kind during Hallowed moons—and nine years ago that truth was hammered home when he found himself claiming Magdelegna, the Demon King's sister, in a wild embrace.
horrified by his lack of control, he left her wanting and furious—and then exiled himself for the better part of a decade.
Now, with necromancers threatening his people—and Magdelegna nearly their victim—Gideon must face another truth. He and the beautiful, stubborn Magdelegna are destined to be together, to share a love as deep and old as time itself. But first he needs to regain her trust. Then he'll have to save her life.
Every night holds secrets.

This is book 2 in the Nightwalkers series. The blurb above basically gives you the back story. I didn't really fall in love with the two main characters who the love story is centered around but they do have a story to tell. These two characters are very prominent in the first book, Jacob, so the natural progression of the series would be to tell their story. Unfortunately, I didn't really bond with either of these two characters while they were single characters nor when they became a couple. Gideon being the eldest of his race has a bit of a pompous attitude and Magdelegna, I really wanted to like but she sometimes was a bit of a diva and not in a good way. I got to the point where I got very tired reading about how beautiful she is and how much in awe of her he is (she's pretty, I get it, move on already!).
The story itself is just a continuation of the main story with then the couple's love story woven in. We get to continue to view Jacob and Bella's lives and how the pregnancy is going. We also get to find out more about Noah and because Magdelegna is his sister, we find out more about their family history. We also of course learn more about Gideon and his past. As for the series, the book itself opens the Nightwalker world up a bit more for the reader. We learn more about Vampires and Shapeshifters and are introduced to their royalty. We also get to learn more about the Necromancers, who are the villains in the series, at least so far. There is definitely lots of action going on including a huge battle scene and lots love making. I did find a bit of continuity issues for me and I'm still not quiet sure if certain events even took place, like were babies born or not?
Anywho, it was still a good read and a must if you read the first.
3 out of 5 books
