- Night of the Fae (Ana Martin series, #1) by Lyneal Jenkins;
Night of the Fae is the first book in the Ana Martin series, which follows Ana as she is drawn into the secret world of the Siis, an ancient race of empathic beings torn apart by war, treachery and the consequences of past actions. He crept towards me. A face of an innocent child, but with a smile of a beast, filled with sharpened teeth that glistened in the moonlight. So much malice, so much need for death, not a glimmer of the child he had once been.
The engraved dagger glinted in the moonlight, giving the silent promise of pain and torture. His voice cut through the air, harsh with venom, filled with centuries of bitterness, 'You killed Sheah! Jenkins's Siis are deftly drawn: Jenkins crosses genres with a sure touch, compressing mystery, the supernatural, romance and procedural crime into a genuinely compelling narrative.
Ana Martin is a name that will certainly go down in the annals of not just fantasy literature, but of classic characters in general, and Lyneal Jenkins is, without doubt, a figure to watch in the world of publishing. Read Ana Martin now and find a universe you will want to return to again and again. B Freelance Editor "Not often do I read a book that makes me feel like I actually became a part of it. When I can feel what the characters are feeling This is a book built in the present time, and shows how other "beings" live among us and the dangers that one woman faces as she becomes more involved in their world.
The characters are well developed and the story grabs you immediately. It is creepy, emotional, and edgy. It is something new. I didn't feel like I've read this story before, like I do with many others in this genre. I would definitely recommend this book. What an outstanding imagination the author expresses with the feeling you are actually reading about real characters. Definitely leaves the reader wanting to continue enjoying the complete series.
Overview Music Video Charts. I always become invested in them with a bit of apprehension for what could and usually does go wrong. There interaction was very real, even if Gabriel is not from this world. Of course, I was irritated and so was Ana too that Gabriel had not mentioned his daughter until she was just there! I will end here with the interactions with Suraya…best left for your reading pleasure. Suffice it to say, I love it when a bad character makes it easy to hate them and feel sorry for them at the same time. I loved Lexi and Maria. Both showed great qualities for a best friend to Ana.
I can certainly see where Maria, a witch as a matter of fact, can be incorporated more as the series continues….. Who was not likeable in the story???? Well of course the Fae. Creatures with sharp, pointy teeth who are evil…. I thought the story of how they came to be was interesting yet a bit frightening and sad. He is skeptical of Ana at best and the beginning of their relationship is rocky…until Ana switches from Gabriel to Adam for training in the art of fighting.
I think it is then that a respectful tolerance is born. Now to see where that relationship will develop over the course of this series. I loved the fact that throughout this tumultuous time while Ana and crew are interacting aka — fighting off the fae, Ana is carrying on with her real life…. This adds to the grounding of the story, in my opinion. Aug 05, Patricia Eddy rated it liked it Shelves: This review originally appeared on Author Alliance.
Night of the Fae is a supernatural action novel with some paranormal romance elements to it. It starts with Ana, a young woman, who is attacked by a drug addict looking for money for his next fix. She's saved and healed mysteriously and her memory altered, but she's strong enough that she manages to resist whatever spell has been woven over her.
Not long after, we meet her boyfriend, Gabriel. Ana decides to make a sex tape as a surprise for him, This review originally appeared on Author Alliance. Ana decides to make a sex tape as a surprise for him, and discovers that the weird dream she has every time they have sex isn't a dream.
Gabriel actually does turn into this being of light energy after their coupling before reverting to his human form. She confronts him about it and he comes clean. He's a siis, one of a race of empathetic beings. And he's hopelessly in love with Ana. The Fae are former children who were turned into supernatural beings. They've evolved into terrible, horrible creatures who feed on negative emotions. They smell the siis energy on Ana that's rubbed off from Gabriel and they decide to target her to get to Gabriel.
I won't give away any more of the plot, as this isn't a summary, it's a review. I struggled with this book. Ultimately I gave it three stars because it kept me reading, even though there were issues. The action is well written and satisfying.
Night of the Fae (Ana Martin Series # 1) : Lyneal Jenkins :
There's mystery woven into every character. That said, there were large gaps in the book. Bits and pieces that were left out to move the story along. This is a series, so there is every possibility that some of these items will come into play later, but there were too many of these gaps and unanswered questions.
The story jumped with little explanation and there were character reactions that appeared to be more plot related than character related. In other words, a character would do something not because it was in the character's nature, but because it needed to be done to move the story along. All in all, this is a decent book, but it would benefit from an edit to fill in the gaps, smooth over the jumps, and add some consistency to the characters.

I am not going into the actual story itself as you can read that in the book blurb or pretty much any review. This is book one in the Ana Martin Series. As a first book, it does have some flaws.

The book begins with action which is a hook for me.
Ms Jenkins established her two main characters right away. The introduction of the Fae good vs evil theme gets the plot rolling nicely. What stood out for me was the Fae. They truly are nasty beings. Good character development and my favorite showed up much later in the story in the form of a witch, Maria. Why only 3 stars? I had difficulty at the beginning as there was just too much information to slog through. I also had a hard time finishing this book as I got bogged down in too much detail about the everyday life of Ana.
I eventually skimmed these sections. The romance was also a bit boring, but this at least was elemental to the plot. The ending was mostly satisfactory minus said plot hole.

Sep 23, Ciara rated it really liked it. It has a depth of emotion the likes of which I have rarely come across in other novels, especially when it comes to the protagonist, Ana Martin. Ana is a fairly ordinary woman who falls hopelessly in love with a fairly extraordinary man, Gabriel. Gabriel is the perfect man - gorgeous, chivalrous, courageous - but he's not technically a man at all. Gabriel is a member of the Siis, not of our world, and it is frowned upon in t "Night of the Fae" by Lyneal Jenkins is an engaging and engrossing book.
Gabriel is a member of the Siis, not of our world, and it is frowned upon in this race to be with a human. Despite this, Ana and Gabriel are determined to stick together. My one qualm with the character of Gabriel is his language; he may be non-human, but I found his dialogue almost awkward sounding amongst that of the other characters. When the deadly race of Fae begin to hunt them down, Ana does not know who to trust.
The character detail in, "Night of the Fae" is fantastic and each of their developments by the end is satisfying. The relationship between Ana and Gabriel is tested and challenged, but their love united them against mutual enemies. However, can a human and Siis ever last? May 26, Liquid Frost rated it liked it Shelves: Ana becomes involved with the Siis, an ancient race of transcendent beings. With purity, comes evil in the Fae; children turned into malevolent forces centuries past. Most of the book involves crying, drinking tea, self-doubt, and co-dependency.
For female readers out there - the female lead is a train wreck. This may be off-putting at times. Sprinkled into the book are some action scenes, which I think Jenkins does a great job of depicting. Toward the end, Ana, the train wreck, finally has enough near-death experiences and starts to develop. I was pleased to see this. I also suspect that Ana will eventually get herself squared away and become a formidable force. I fear the reader may give up too soon on her though. This book is more relationship-based, which isn't my cup of tea as it were.
So when action popped up, I really enjoyed the material. Overall, it had some entertaining action and is a quick read. Ana got on my nerves as did Gabriel. The author provided a copy of work for an unbiased review. May 11, T. Payne rated it really liked it.

The writer did a great job at getting the story across although it leaves us with a cliff hanger. The characters were a little complicated to get to know but I eventually caught up with it all.

I don't know what to say about this book.
I hated it, I loved it, I liked it, I was bored. All these do not seem to give this book true justice. I had a hard time starting this book, but when I got about a tenth into it, the story took off and I really enjoyed it. So much, that I bought the next two books in succession and finished them also. I do feel I should mention that it included a witch as one of the characters and I do not like that in my reads personally. That and the porn video the main character at the beginning wants to make for her boyfriend caused me to bring down the stars by 5 to 4.

Ana works at a elder home with her best friend and meets the man of her dreams Gabriel. Gabriel is not human and saves her more than once from the Fae. I enjoyed the suspense and meeting the different characters of the different species. There is quite a bit of suspense with I received a copy for an honest review.
There is quite a bit of suspense with the right mix of humor and romance. Gabriel is the perfect boyfriend except for the whole not being human thing. Ana's story made me laugh, cringe, and get teary eyed. This is the first installment in an Ana Martin series that I foresee being very enjoyable. Ana's clumsy, always in trouble character is endearing and fun to read. The first book in the Ana Martin series was brilliantly written.
The book was written by a UK author, and as an American I am happy to say that I was able to follow along really well. There are some books written by author's in the UK that I have a hard time following based on their location , and in honesty I didn't even realize that the book was based in the UK until the context finally hit me.

I wanted to love this book, I really did. Jenkins has created some truly unique characters and done a great job of building her world in a unique paranormal story. However, despite my best efforts, I gave up some halfway through, due to the amount of typos, spelling mistakes, poorly used grammar and clear lack of editing which unfortunately, spoiled the reading experience for me.

All in all, a very entertaining read! I give Night of the Fae 4. Mar 26, Avid Reader rated it it was amazing. A totally unexpected new entry into the fantasy market. The characters are well thought out and develop well through out the book. If you like the 'happy ever after ending, this might not be the book for you. This story is real, and the characters act accordingly. I have read the second one though, so don't worry, romance isn't dead.

I was asked to read this book and found it to be a good fantasy read. The opening 'fight' scene is excellent and is a great hook, although some of that grip loosens now and again. It is a good story, however, with a fair plot and reasonably developed characters. I did like the idea of some of the Fae being corrupted children - very creepy. Altogether, a well told fantasy romance with more to come. Sep 13, Regina Griffin rated it really liked it.
I am looking forward to reading the next book. At moments, I was soooo pulled in that I laughed at myself. The power of love, and the essence of it being so strong that it can be sensed by others The conflict between the Fae external appearances vs true intentions and the inability to escape a world that you did not sign up for, was just magnetic.
Jul 06, Hannah Saldaris rated it liked it. I did see some similarities between Ana and Sookie, Gabriel and Bill but after reading a few chapters Ana got under my skin and she became her own identity. She's that person in the horror movie that runs upstairs to hide from the bad guy but she takes a few big hits and holds on til the very last breath. I would like more details about her surroundings but her encounters with the supernatural are action packed and emotionally charged.
This book is new and exciting. The characters come alive, making you feel like you are there. The story line is fast paced and has many twists and turns. The main character isn't what you expect. There are times she annoys you, but by the end you cant help but love her and feel just a little bit sorry for her. Aug 23, Marnie rated it it was amazing.

A Well-Developed Story Recommendation: I recommend this book. The story is well-developed and the characters show various levels of development. The Siis world is like a secret society full of ancient people who are incredibly powerful. Their power greatly exceeds anything humans have to offer so I do wonder why they bother with us. Ana, our protagonist, is bi-polar. Naturally, this affects her perceptions and even affects the way other people accept her perceptions. However, it does still seem to end abruptly.
Ana Martin works in a nursing home and is going to school to become a nurse. I love this as a story-structuring character flaw. We get to see her manic and how a close friend reacts to help her. We get to see her depressive episodes. Her last notable relationship was Nathan, not a nice guy. Suffice it to day that he was abusive and almost killed her. Gabriel also has secrets and no amount of getting bit in the butt seems to clear things up for him. As for his character development, I think he declines. But, hey, this is part of a series so we have plenty of time for him to shape up.
I hope to see more with this character in other books. Ana is absorbing life force energy from Gabriel causing him no harm. This gets her into trouble because she sees the Fae, evil little child-like creatures that feed on negative energy. A few times really, only a handful I had to reread a sentence to get it straight.
