Review of Jacob (The Nightwalkers, Book 1)
Since time began, there have been Nightwalkers - the races of the night who live in the shadows of the moonlight. Love with humans is absolutely forbidden, and one man makes certain to uphold this ancient law: Jacob, the Enforcer...For 700 Years, He has resisted temptation. But not tonight...Jacob knows the excuses his people give when the madness overtakes them and they fall prey to their lust for humans. He's heard every one and still brought the trespassers to justice. Immune to forbidden desires, uncontrollable hungers, or the curse of the moon, his control is total...until the moment he sees Isabella on a shadowy New York City street. Saving her life wasn't in his plans. Nor were the overwhelming feelings she arouses in him. But the moment he holds her in his arms and feels the soft explosion of her body against his, everything changes. Their attraction is undeniable, volatile, and completely against the law. Suddenly everything Jacob has ever believed is inflamed by the heat of desire...Bring on the night.

I've read all 5 in the series!
Jacob is the first book in Jacquelyn Frank's Nightwalker Series. I have read all five books. She definitely pulls me in & kept me reading book after book. I love how each book incorporates characters from previous books. Highly recommend reading this series!

Great introduction to a series
I really liked both main characters. Yes, they don't differ much from all the literature out there of this type of the book.
Sometimes I think that once you read one you read them all. But, the nightwalkers are very interesting in the sense of a little novelty on the old path.
I enjoyed the book from beginning to end, even though on the back of my mind I knew it wasn't much different from the rest.
At least not much different Alyssa's Day Atlantis type of plot. Same I see you and I will love you forever. Honestly, what happened with the seduction? If it is all set as magical match making it lacks all the seduction don't you think?
Well, it is well written nonetheless. The author has style, use very good words to express feelings, the sex scenes are not the hottest, too much emotions going on, too much thoughts, honestly sometimes I think, how can they think so much as they are doing each other?

I can't believe they actually published this.
I'm only halfway through this book. The story idea is great, but the author loses me with mediocre writing. I thought I was reading a high-schooler's story. The characters were not defined at all. I can understand a character changing during the course of a story, but Frank's characters changed according to her whim. The other thing that was weird was the perspective. When the heroine, Bella, is observing and thinking, suddenly Frank shifts to what another character is thinking. There's not mystery to the story that way. I was fairly disappointed. I really don't understand how this book got published.

Jacob
I really enjoyed this novel. I love a series of novels and this one is a great start to the series. It isn't the usual boy meets girl romance.

I love this book
I actually bought this book in 2007. It was a page turner for me.. I loved the lyrical way Jaqueline describes this world, the emotions between the characters. And she gives just enough information so that you are not bombarded with long winded conversations. Well I recently discovered my book again, locked away in one of my drawers and re-read it. I fell in love with this world, and Bella & Jacob all over again. I haven't read any of the others in this Nightwalker series though, and honestly I'm kinda reluctant to. I don't know, maybe it's because Jacob is the first in this series, or because, although all the characters in Jacob's story are quite interesting, I'm not enthralled with them enough to care for their personal stories. I really would love a continuation of Jacob and Bella and to know what happened with them. I think that would be quite an interesting read.
