I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. Thank you.Night Demon is the second book in the Night Series from Lisa Kessler.I took a chance and read this as a stand alone. I wish I would of read the first and the novella before it. While its not needed for the story to flow. There was just so many characters in this book it would have been nice to have a connection to at least 4 of them. Since there are 12 characters in this book that are constant.You have Gretchen who's an archeologist working with Lukas to reveal the Mayan glyphs about the Night Walkers and the moon goddess (Kate).There are a North (muliac), South (Colin),East (Kane and his mate is Rita) and West (Issa) Night walker gods that create a guardian who's sole purpose is a mate for the Camalotz, but the guardian is sterile and wants a baby.Then there is Lukas' maker Calisto and his mate the moon goddess Kate.Zephirena the fertility goddess who was impregnated by Muliac. But the baby was frozen in an immortal womb when he made her a night walker.So basically Muliac wants to be a free raining god again. He searches for Kate because only she can summon Camalotz to wipe out the earth then use Kate as a sacrifice to seal Camalotz back in her tomb. The four god brothers decided that Muliac is the one who summoned her so he would have to be a sacrifice. By sending her and him back they have upset the North, South, East, West balance and Zaphirena tells them only an north heir will replace the balance. So Lukas becomes a mortal for one night to Impregnate Gretchen.Gretchen becomes pregnant and now the Night walkers are in search for her and want the baby.There is a lot going on in this story!!
