Night Marchers Kindle Edition

After moving to Hawaii, Emma dismisses the strange goings-on as figments of her imagination — until she stumbles upon a gathering of ancient spirits. Can she combat a curse that threatens her soul and an impossible love triangle? With over 600 five-star ratings on Goodreads, The Night Marchers series is a complete young adult paranormal romance series that will appeal to fans of Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest, The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare, and The Vampire Diaries by L. J. Smith.

NEVER, EVER lock eyes with a Night Marcher! Everyone in Hawaii has heard this warning, except for seventeen-year-old Emma Townsend that is. For most Hawaiians know that looking into the eyes of Night Marcher can strike a curse that will end in death or eternal servitude.

Even though her paranormal investigator father solely raised Emma, she has little experience in the realm of the supernatural. After being forced to move with her father to Hawaii only months before her graduation, Emma starts seeing the unexplainable — fire balls in the distance, beating drums in the middle of nowhere, and strangers who vanish into thin air.

When an eventful evening lands Emma in the middle of the woods at night, she comes face to face with a procession of Night Marchers. With the help of a mysterious stranger, Emma barely escapes and finds herself on the run for her life. With her life at stake, and a curse chasing her, Emma must put her trust in a man she knows little about to survive.


Praises for Night Marchers:
"I read books but this one took me on a wild roller coaster ride of emotions. It is a hard book to put down. Be prepared to be up late reading! Can't wait to read the next book!" ~Marella4

"The story is original, thrilling, includes several twists in the romance department, and in the supernatural content as well."
~Sally

"I am always interested in things based in some kind of paranormal "truth" and this story didn't fail to impress with the authors obviously having taken a great deal of time to do their research. By the time I got to the end I could not wait to pick up the second one and see where the story went." ~Chantress

If you enjoyed Night Marchers, be sure to grab the sequel and conclusion to the series Redemption.

Also now available from Rebecca Gober and Courtney Nuckels: Project ELE and the complete ELE Series.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"If you want likable characters, myths and legends, suspense, action, and feeling as though you are on tenterhooks at times.... This is the book for you." ~Review by Lindsay Kendal, Author of Bloodlines
"I really enjoyed reading this book and I recommend it to all who's up for something new and fun! You'll get swept up like I did." ~Review by Stacey, Sassy Book Lovers

From the Author

When we finally took the plunge to pursue our dreams of writing a novel, we knew we had to come up with something truly unique to write about. We had been in love with the young adult and teen fiction genre for a long time. We also knew that we wanted to write a book that has a paranormal twist, yet not one that would include the usual vampires or werewolves. (Not saying we aren't total suckers for reading those kind of books, we love them! We just wanted to write something unique and untouched on.)  That's when we ran across the legend of The Night Marchers. We had never heard of this legend before and we instantly became engrossed in it. After lots of research on these spirit warriors, on the island of Kauai, Hawaii and finding some interesting tidbits about another Hawaiian legend: the Menehune's, we new exactly what we wanted to write about.  
Much like Emma Townsend's coming of age story, we felt like Night Marchers was a coming of age story of our own as writers. We knew nothing about publishing, cover making, building a fan base or anything. The support we received in the Indie community was overwhelming. The fan feedback was more than we could have ever hoped for.  

We want to thank everyone who has taken the time to read our books and experience with us, the magical worlds that surrounds them. To have our imaginations brought to life on paper is truly a dream come true. Thank you!
In addition, we would like to thank everyone who has given us feedback on our books. As Indie authors our books don't get the opportunity to pass by as many sets of eyes as we would hope for. When we first wrote Night Marchers, we were just starting out and of course flat broke. We edited the original version ourselves and as many experienced writers know, it's nearly impossible to do a good edit on your own work. After all, you know exactly what you meant to say, so missing mistakes is easy to do. We listened to the positive criticism about our books which inspired us to release a Special Edition version of Night Marchers. For this edition, we were able to hire an editor and correct many of the mistakes, as well as give you some fun extras as a thank you. Night Marchers is still a FREE Kindle Book, so if you would like to upload an updated version, please do so. 
Thank you again for your feedback and support! We appreciate you more than you could ever know. 
Rebecca Gober and Courtney Nuckels

When I saw the title, I was determined to read it, then I saw the price. :D It was free. And Im the kind of person who doesnt refuse a free book. Im glad I read it.
Emma is a strong willed girl who has too many huge decisions to face, but somehow she does. I can connect to her and I enjoyed the other characters, too. The Menehune were cute and funny, yet so strong in their hearts and loyal to the soul in friendship. They are just like how me and my friends imagined them.

The best part was the Night Watchers, who've I've heard about all my life. I live in Hawaii and this was a great way to learn about them and enjoy a book, too. Somehow, I wasnt expecting the Night Watchers to be like how they were in the book. I think I like it better than the zombie/crazed murder warriors I had in mind when I'd hide under covers while camping.

The love triangle somehow inserted into the book was terrifyingly interesting, I didnt know what to think. At first, I was practically yelling at Emma to ignore Kai and stay with Tristan, then a couple pages later I was utterly confused. I sort of pitied Emma, having to decide like that. Why did they both have to be so nice? (Unlike the many rude boys I know here. I'm jealous. ^_^)

It was a great book and I enjoyed every minute of it. I'll hopefully be getting the next book soon. (Though now my heart literally stops beating when I hear drums at night) ^_^

Night Marchers begins with Emma moving to Hawaii for her fathers' job. Emma's father investigates the paranormal, he started this after Emma's mom disappeared when she was three and no one could find out what happened. Emma and and her father arrive in Hawaii and find out they are staying in this beautiful house on the beach. The housekeepers' son and Emma quickly become close and Emma falls in love with him. Every night there are these mysterious lights and drums in the forest, everyone tells Emma not to go out at night but they won't tell her why. When Tristan has to leave the island for a few weeks Emma goes to there special place and falls asleep. When she wakes up its dark and Kai is tries to get her to safety but before they can the Night Marchers come by. Emma looks into the eyes of one of the marchers and now he wants to take her soul. Kai takes her away and tries to come up with a way to save her. I like Tristan his back story is sad and inspiring, he is the type of man you just want to hug. Kai is a mysterious and cute, he also has a sad back story but he has a dangerous edge to him that Tristan is missing. I really wanted to like Emma and for the first part of the book I did, but then she started acting like she didn't posses any common sense. There were instances where I was amazed at her perseverance and maturity and other times I had to put my phone down and walk away to prevent breaking it. The book itself was wonderful; the ideas were new and interesting. Even thought there were times when it switched pov, the story still flowed seamlessly together. Loved the descriptions of the island, I could practically smell the ocean and flowers. I did really like the book; I do think the book is more pre-teen/ early teen than young adult though.

5.0 out of 5 stars touching teenage love story
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2012

"Never, Ever lock eyes with a Night Marcher!" Hawaiians know this warning and heed it well, Emma learns the hard way.
Emma is strong character that has to deal with being uprooted at nearly the end of her senior year and moving across the ocean. She accuses her father of moving her to another country.
Hawaii would be the idea place to live. When Emma arrives at her new home, she is overwhelmed by it all, but feels welcome in her new home.
As she gets settled in her new home and state, Emma meets a boy, Tristan. Tristan makes her feel happy and helps her learn the island. As she is starting to fall for him, he has to leave for training.
Enter in Kai. He is a mysterious "older" figure that comes into Emma's life. She has a run in with him on the beach and then a few days later he tries to save her.
The dialogue between all the characters are well written out and all of them are described so that you can form them in your mind. The descriptions of Hawaii make me want to hop on a plane to go visit. Alani could be anyone's favorite grandma that loves to cook.
This story may be YA novel, but adults will love it also. Readers will not be disappointed with the choice of this book. Redemption is book two and will make you begging for a book 3!!

Another freebie that I just love, yes, we all know why they are free but I prefer a good freebie and buying subsequent books rather than spending £5 or so on a book that is complete dross; this way you get the feel for an author and I've discovered some amazing indie authors. Could have been proof read slightly better but that's a minor detail to be fair. I still downloaded the second book anyways,

As I'm a few years (decades) older than Young Adult I really wasn't sure what to expect, ok its fantastical and way out of the realms of believe (the little people anyway and their names, really) but I do have such a soft spot for paranormal romance and fiction. Not a huge fan of reading anything to real to be honest as I like to not think too much sometimes when reading as I am using it to "shut" off. A different take on the whole myth and legend level and not a vampire in sight for a change.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 23, 2012

Emma is a (very) simple Texas girl, forced to move to Hawaii for her dad's new job. Don't get me wrong, I love the girl but boy is she daft at times. And sometimes irritating too. For instance, Tristan asks her about music and she immediately says, 'Oh, I love Country Music!' I was like, yeah, that's my girl! Until she listed Taylor Swift, The Band Perry and Zack Brown Band as her favourites. To me, that's not country, it's pop. Strange girl.

The plot in this is one of the oddest I've ever read, which is good because I'll have a better chance of remembering it! From Little People to Night Marchers, it gets weirder as the story goes along. The Night Marchers themselves reminded me VERY strongly of The Zars from William Nicholson's The Wind Singer. In fact, they were almost the same.

One thing I didn't like was the spelling. Every so often waist would become waste, lose would become loose, lie would become lye and so on. I'd strongly advise the Authors to seek an editor (some bloggers may do it for free) and get the grammar and spelling cleared up, as it would really help the book...

As for love interests, I liked Tristan but found Kai much more interesting, as his past was.. murky at best! My favourite part of the story was actually the historical text messaging a.k.a Paul, the runner. The messaging between Adam and his wife was pretty hilarious!

This book ends on a cliffhanger so good, I'm off to go buy the sequel and read it as soon as I can!

3.0 out of 5 stars Didn't quite do it for me
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 5, 2013

On a technical note, I think these authors write very well, even amidst a few grammatical and spelling errors here and there. The story was very gripping and having lived in Hawaii for three years, I was familiar with the history of the different tribes and island history mentioned in the stories. I greatly appreciate that these authors did their research. As I said, the story was very gripping - I had to read it in one sitting to see how it ended. I loved just about all of the characters.

As for my personal opinion of the story, well, here is where it appears I differ from most of the other readers. Unfortunately we have this Twilight-esque dilemma of having to choose between Tristan and Kai for who we want Emma to end up with. *Spoiler Alert* - this is apparently only book one and there is a book two to accompany this and while at the end you have a very strong notion of who she's going to choose, you'll have to pay for book two to find out (which was mildly frustrating to me, because I hate waiting and like things wrapped up with a bow in the first book). While pretty much all the reviews I glanced at before writing mine chose to be team Kai (and I strongly dislike Twilight, so I cringe to use that allusion), I am team Tristan. I can't really pinpoint why, but I'm pretty well stuck on that opinion. It's not that I don't like Kai, I think that he's really great and I really enjoyed his backstory, but I like Tristan for her better. But, that's just my opinion.
