Nightwalker Mira has traveled the world for six centuries as an enforcer for the leaders of the vampire race. Her unprecedented magical talent lies in her ability to create and wield fire, an element that kills all other vampires. Her name, Fire Starter, strikes fear in the hearts of vampires everywhere. Five centuries earlier, Mira was at the mercy of the Naturi, a race of enemies to both vampire and human. She was to be a sacrifice in a magical ritual to open a portal between the Naturi’s world and our world. A secret triad of vampires destroyed all but a few of the Naturi that night. Now the Naturi are back and determined to recreate the mystical ceremony they began at Machu Picchu so many years ago.

Danaus is an ancient vampire hunter who hates all vampires. He is just as powerful and deadly as Mira. However, when the organization for which he works discovers that the Naturi have returned, Danaus must put aside his hatred and work with Mira in an attempt to end the threat posed by the Naturi. If the Naturi succeed in recreating the earlier ceremony, life will become hell on Earth for humans and vampires alike. Mira needs Danaus’ assistance to locate the other members of the triad. Can Danaus overcome his loathing of all vampires in order to end the threat to life on Earth? Can Mira cope with the nightmares that reawaken when she learns that the Naturi want her back at their mercy? Is it possible for her to work with someone intent on killing all vampires? Are Danaus and Mira strong enough together to defeat an evil older or is the world doomed to chaos and destruction at the hands of the Naturi?

  

Jocelynn Drake’s NIGHTWALKER is a phenomenal debut paranormal novel. Drake exhibits a talent far surpassing that of a typical new novelist. Her intricate plot pulls the reader into the heart of the story from the opening lines. The characters inhabiting Drake’s creation are full-bodied and multifaceted with many hidden layers. The layers are slowly exposed over the course of the entire complex novel. Mira appears to be a just another typical beautiful vampire until her compelling personality is revealed. She is a complicated, compelling woman with talents and depths that are merely glimpsed at the beginning. Danaus proves to be a man of strength and determination. These traits often make it difficult to decide whether Danaus is actually friend or foe. The plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat trying to decide what to make of Danaus. Exploding with intrigue, betrayal, danger, and adrenaline-fueled adventure, NIGHTWALKER is a paranormal novel that proves to be a cut above the rest. This is an impressive, invigorating must-read debut novel!
