Awsome Book!

I have read many of Kenyon's books and I have not yet been disappointed. I look forward to more book that tie into the world of the Dark-Hunters.

Atlantis calls. . .

. Dr. Megeara (Geara) Saatsakis (her mother's maiden name), the child of a professor who is obsessed with finding Atlantis, has lost most of her family to her father's search. She chose to use her mother's name in order to have the credibility her father lost. She is angry and bitter, but when he is lying on his death bed, she returns to Greece to spend time with him. His last request is that she continue the challenge and complete his work. She agrees, never planning to actually follow through with the work that made the academic and archeology world ridicule him. Three months after his death she is presented with irrefutable proof: two artifacts dated 9000 BC with symbols that could only be from Atlantis. Determined to prove her father was right and clear his name in the communities, she rebuilds his salvage operation and begins her search. Meanwhile, Geara dreams constantly of a lover. The man in her dreams could not be real, but Arik is a god, who makes a deal with Hades to be human. So she has to rescue him when he is dropped into the sea near her boat. There is a delicious, but stormy, romance. Arik must learn to be human, which is comical. He is a part of the many twists and turns that reveal Greek mythology and the lost continent of Atlantis. This is a wonderful adventure, a delightful page-turner. I've already ordered more of Sherrilyn Kenyon's books. It is a 5 star unique trip.

Tantalizing Page Turner!!!

Arik is a dream god cursed by Zeus to drift through dreams of humans for all eternity, and he does so because it is the only time (it would see) that he, like all his kind, can experience emotion. Eternity is growing tedious and boring for Arik until he comes across Megeara who dreams of restoring respect to her father and the family name by proving Atlantis is were her father claimed it is. The plot starts to sizzle as the characters develop at just the right speed. It forbidden for Arik to fall in love with a Human, but how does one go against one's heart? Kenyon has an amazing ability to transport the reader into the character's shoes and I guarantee this edition to the series will keep you up at night wanting to know what happens next!

I liked the book...

I love the dark hunter books but I also like the other species Kenyon has created to build different story lines. This book intrigued me because of the "finding Atlantis" storyline, the return of Kat (and I suspect she'll be back again), and the huge obstacle between the two main characters (Arik barters Megeara's life to be with her for a few weeks as a human). Honestly, I didn't know if I would buy any final resolution between the two main characters, regardless of their chemistry, but I was pleased with the way the story was resolved. As always, looking forward to the next book.

She does it again!!!!!!

I don't know how she does it ? Ms. Kenyon writes some right hot books but never crosses the line to crude. Dream Hunter is another fine example and of course, it is threaded with information that will be valuble with her Dark-Hunter series which is how I got hooked. If you are familiar with Zarek's story ever wonder how he dreamed such revealing poetic thoughts. Catch the end of this book and add it to your picture for the Dark-Hunter world. And don't forget the Kat who helped Ash out with that leaf thing. See how you almost have to read all of her books to get the full story. Like I said Ms. Kenyon How do you do it?
