Description Concering Books Ecstasy (Shadowdwellers #1)
At one with the darkness, the mysterious Shadowdwellers must live as far from light-loving humans as possible in order to survive. Yet one damaged human woman will tempt the man behind the Shadowdweller throne into a dangerous desire...Worlds Couldn't Keep Them Apart
Among the Shadowdwellers, Trace holds power that some are willing to kill for. Without a stranger's aid, one rival would surely have succeeded, but Trace's brush with death is less surprising to him than his reaction to the beautiful, fragile human who heals him. By rights, Trace should hardly even register Ashla's existence within the realms of Shadowscape, but instead he is drawn to everything about her—her innocence, her courage, and her lush, sensual heat.
After a terrifying car crash, Ashla Townsend wakes up to find that the bustling New York she knew is now eerie and desolate. Just when she's convinced she's alone, Ashla is confronted by a dark warrior who draws her deeper into a world she never knew existed. The bond between Ashla and Trace is a mystery to both, but searching for answers will mean confronting long-hidden secrets, and uncovering a threat that could destroy everything Trace holds precious.

This book was pretty good, painful sex notwithstanding. Different enough from others books I've read, which made it an interesting read. Really enjoyed the hero and heroine interactions and their personalities. Hope in the other books in the series we find out what happens with them.Weak and pathetic, in body and spirit, I hated Ashland. Wrought with misunderstandings between Ashland and Trace, of omission and jumping to conclusions. I was rolling my eyes constantly. The world building was good, but these two main characters ruined it for me.
Jacquelyn Frank's new book "Ecstasy" was disapointing to say the least. I counted at least 7 plot themes I'd seen in at least 4 different books from differnt authors, most remarkably J.R. Ward's BDB series. While I would never go so far as to accuse Ms. Frank of plagerism, I would definitely accuse her of unoriginality. I never fell in love with the character of Trace who's pushy sexuality was off putting. I wanted him to at least try to stay away from Ashla for a few seconds. There is something
2.5 Stars; It was ok...Being the first in the series I understand all the "history" Frank had to give us...After all this is a new world for her fans...But I have to say all the info dominated the book. I got really frustrated (and I'll admit, confused) by always hearing about Shadowdwellers, Realscape, Mistrals, Lycanthropes, Shadowscape, Nightwalkers, Dwellers, Fade, Chancellors, Priests, Handmadiens....the list goes on and on and on....I do however understand the need to inform the reader of
Whoa! What a cool book! Leave it to Jacquelyn Frank to have come up with this strange and complex world!Ashla was pretty great. I liked her because she was amazingly brave but she had no idea that she was brave. At the start, she would worry about everything and was scared of the worst or of what "could" happen. But she always moved forward and kept living her life, despite all of her fears. She had such an awful childhood because her mother thought that she was the spawn of the devil. Like,
Opening Line:"Ashla stood shivering in the darkened streets of Times Square.Jaquelyn Frank has created a dense and complicated new society in ECSTASY. I tried very hard to like this new world but it was a tough read and fans should be warned that this is not a continuation of the Nightwalker series. After a horrific car accident our impish heroine Ashla awakens to find herself in Shadowworld. A strange version of New York City without any lights or people. It is also a place of endless night.
Jacquelyn Frank expands her Nightwalker series by creating the world of Shadowdwellers, a community of Nightwalkers that cannot tolerate direct light - only the light of the moon and stars is tolerable to them. 'Dwellers exist in two dimensions - Realscape and Shadowscape - and have the ability to Fade into Shadowscape and Unfade into Realscape. It's easier for them to move around in Shadowscape without worrying about the dangers of Light, but they risk Euphoria and possible death if they stay
