There was some exciting stuff and I'm glad the author didn't pull any punches when it came to the darker side to the Mayan beliefs with all the blood and magic and sacrifice because that is a major part of the rituals and culture yes, that's a hint that if you're a tad squeamish to keep that in mind.

But, when I put it all together, I had a few bits that didn't work as well for me. First of all, I think if I'd gone into this with the mindset that it was like an urban fantasy rather than a paranormal romance, I'd have done better. With PNR, I find the romance takes a front seat to other elements in the story whereas with UF, the romance may not even show more than a hint as other stuff goes on.

I waited a while for the romance to get rolling I don't count the instalust at the beginning and in the end, had to adjust. Secondly, the romance was only alright when it did show up. I said I was okay with Strike and Leah and this is true, but sometimes I was not. The pair of them took turns annoying me. Leah comes off as this brash cop type that had a few stubborn-stupid moments.

I don't think a Miami-Dade Narcotics officer would make it very long pulling that stuff in such a dark, dangerous world and that's even before we toss in the paranormal elements. Then there was Strike really hem-hawing around before he got going.

I felt the uneven pacing as a result of him being stuck in his head a lot. But then, it picked up and boy howdy were we finally off to the races. I think the biggest issue I had and try not to faint was there was too much. This book needed a trim. Too much background and history overshadowing the ongoing plot and too many characters and situations.

I wish the other Night Keepers' romances had been less present in this one which already was pulling the load of being the intro book to the series. So, in the end, I can definitely say I liked it, but loved parts of it better than others. I want to press forward and see if now that we're past book one if a change in characters and a tighter plot surface for me. Jul 08, Saly rated it liked it Shelves: read-in , single-titles.

This book is not bad but it just never really pulled me in coz the whole Doomsday hook is not something that appeals to me. And the whole insta-sex thing didn't work for me. I don't think I am gonna continue as the world didn't pull me in as much. Dec 05, Filipa rated it really liked it Shelves: english-books , own , reads , urban-fantasy.

I've been avoiding this book since January. I was afraid because I've read a certain amount reviews that said that this was a pretty heavy series with a great amount of information that wasn't easy to absorb. What a big, fat lie. This book was awesome and since I have an active interest in Mayan culture it was great to read this book. Sincerely it was refreshing to find a I've been avoiding this book since January.

Sincerely it was refreshing to find a book that delves on something other than sex. Good paranormal series aren't that easy to find nowadays and when I do find one that qualifies as a good paranormal series I experience a great sense of relief. I'm already reading the second instalment "Dawnkeepers" because oh my, I just don't want to wait to see Nate's story. I just hope that my sentiment towards this series isn't just a fake one.

Let's see how it goes. Foi o que aconteceu com este, thank God! E acertei no alvo. E mal se entra no ritmo sabe bem. Feb 24, Melindeeloo rated it really liked it. Despite its tendency to be exposition heavy at times, NightKeepers had a lot going for it.

Both of the leading characters, Strike and Leah, were very well done. Strike is great as the leader of the few remaining Nightkeepers who are sworn to save the world by battling the evil forces try to brin 3. Strike is great as the leader of the few remaining Nightkeepers who are sworn to save the world by battling the evil forces try to bring about the predicted doomsday. Strike has survived the slaughter of his family and almost all of his people, but I found it very refreshing in the light of all the dark tormented leading men I've read lately, that he is not so much tormented as struggling with his destiny as King and torn by his own personal desires wishing he could pursue a normal life with Leah.

Leah is a much better than your average romance heroine. She is brave tough and smart and her cop background means that even though she needed Strike to rescue her as she lay bound and moments from ritualistic slaughter by the Mayan cultist who murdered her brother, Leah fully expects to be able do that herself next time and prepares herself for that battle.

And it is Leah's insight that spurs Strike to become the leader that he must be and turn the remaining NightKeepers into a team united with a purpose instead of a ragtag group of loosely connected magic users.

Most notible in this book were Strike's sister Anna, who has fled from her Nightkeeper heritage but who must return to the fold or there will be no chance of victory, Red Boar and Jox, among the handful of the adults who survived the Nightwalker massacre both having sacrificed much personally for the cause but who can't help question whether Strike will fall prey to the same 'visions' that caused Strike's father to fail so cataclismicly, and Rabbit, shunned by his father for being only half Nightkeeper but who brings another type of magic to the mix.

And with some obvious pairings in the remaining cast, Anderson has left plenty of stories to tell in the upcoming books. The author begins the book by introducing the history and mythos of the Nightkeeper world in a textbook-y kind of way. For me this was daunting enough that I put the book aside for a few days which in the long run worked to my advantage, because once the book actually starts, it jumps straight into the action and I had had enough time to digest all the world-building crammed into the pre-prolog and loose myself in the story.

And once Nightkeepers got going, I enjoyed this fresh world and its inhabitants well enough that I will be reading the next book, Dawnkeepers: A Novel of the Final Prophecy to find out what happens next.

Dec 31, Kathleen Burket rated it it was amazing. I was surprised at how well I liked this novel. Despite its length, pages in MMP, I never became bored or had the urge to put it aside. Andersen made the Mayan mythos believable. The Nightkeepers are descendants of Atlanteans who guided the ancient Egyptians and later the Mayans.

A generation before the current time, the Nightkeeper king lead their people in an effort to close the barrier between dimensions to prevent demons from crossing over and dominating the Earth during the Great Conjun I was surprised at how well I liked this novel.

A generation before the current time, the Nightkeeper king lead their people in an effort to close the barrier between dimensions to prevent demons from crossing over and dominating the Earth during the Great Conjunction. During this effort most of the adult Nightkeepers were killed and only the babies, their guardians--called winikin, and one adult Nightkeeper survived. This story is the calling together of the surviving Nightkeepers, the babies who are now grown adults, because the barrier has been breached.

I enjoyed the story of Leah, the Miami cop who has been selected for a special role by the Mayan gods, and Striking Jaguar Strike , son of the late King. I think that Andersen did a great job setting up future stories such as Nate and Alexis' story, which will be told in book two. I love the mysteries surrounding Strike's sister, Anna. Will her hero be her estranged husband, Dick Catori; Lucius, her graduate assistant; or another character yet to be introduced? Will Lucius turn to evil or eventually be recruited by the Nightkeepers?

I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series and I am giving this book five stars. Mar 31, Aelin Lovelace rated it really liked it Shelves: 4-stars , urban-fantasy , paranormal-romance , romance. Andersen has clearly done a lot of research and gotten things right, which makes this Mesoamerican history geek very happy. The story is strongly remniscient of J. Ward's work, in that the heroes are all uber-muscular warrior men with destined romances and that the story is told from many points of view -- untraditional for the romance genre, which usually only features the hero and heroine's.

This isn't surprising as the two authors are friends and critique partners. I'm a fan of Ward's, but Andersen does not share the same flaws with weak heroines and deus ex machina endings.

I loved the external story as much as the romance. Strongly recommend to readers of both urban fantasy and paranormal romance. It's strong in both fields. I really enjoyed this book. With all the movies about coming out, I was interested to see how it would be incorporated into a sup book. I liked the characters, enjoyed learning about their back stories and seeing how they all came together to try to fight back to the upcoming evil.

Such a nice treat when I find something I like and don't have to wait a year to read the next book. It was more like a 2. There were a few things that I didn't like about this book. There were too many characters introduced with a lot of new terminology to get used to. This wouldn't normally bother me but the plot had way to much going on and it was hard to stay focused.

I didn't like that Strike and Leah had sex almost immediately, it seemed out of place and the story didn't focus on them as a couple. Strike wearing cutoffs and rope sandals did not appeal to me, I kept picturing a hippie.

I It was more like a 2. I did like the mythological aspect of the book but not enough to continue with the series or not anytime soon. Night Keepers was an average story with detailed world building heavily steeped in mythology. Descendents of powerful magi, who are called Night Keepers, must keep a psi barrier from falling and demons from entering, which would end the world. According to the Mayan calendar this date is December 21, The background and purpose of the Night Keepers is more interesting than the characters.

The premise of this series is exciting yet it failed to deliver. At times, I felt as if I was reading h Night Keepers was an average story with detailed world building heavily steeped in mythology. Overall, I grade this book a C-. Has imagination but lacks characterization. May 07, Dawn rated it it was ok Shelves: books , pnr. I wanted to like this one but in the end it was just to slow and way to much detail. Plus the characters just did not draw me in Strike was a whiny punk and Leah was meh.

I feel a little guilty about that because it was clear that Ms. Anderson put a lot of thought into the story it was to much back story and not enough character development. There were also to many points of views, I think it would have been better for the story to have switched between the two main characters.

The last two hundred I couldn't put it down. Unfortunately, it took to long to get into it. I would recommend it for someone who likes to read books with world ending challenges. I ended up liking the end that I bought the dawnkeepers which I believe is the second book.

Happy reading. Mar 22, Lori Whitwam rated it it was ok Shelves: paranormal. Listed as a "paranormal romance," the romance aspect was less than engaging. This was a heavy book, with lots of historic detail about the Mayans, and very dark, detailed information about the magical groups trying to prevent or bring about the end of the world.

It was well-written and interesting, but I didn't get into the characters as much as I would have liked. I picked this book up by chance. The end of the worl theroy is something that is always being talked about Jessica Andersen's take on the theroy is one of suspense as well as romance, but really what story can not have romance and scarifice. I look forward to reading the second book I picked this book up by chance.
