Atlantis Rising #1 Warriors Of Poseidon

Well If you are searching for Atlantis, you've find your self a great version of the mythical Island. It is a romance so don't search for documentary if you know what I mean. Anyways the story line is great and you desire for more. Will the great warriors of poseidon Rise Atlantis and save humanity form her ennemi are will we all perish... Well for my self I can't wait for tome 5 of the serie. After all the male in the story are candy on stick and have some damn wicked power.

Atlantis Rising is a light, fast-paced paranormal romance. As with many of these type of book, the story starts off with our heroine Riley, a social worker, having a really bad day. It doesn't help that she is an empath and feels everyone's emotions as strongly as her own. Seeking solitude she heads to the ocean for some peace and quiet. Since shapeshifters and vampires have 'come out', there is a human curfew and even though she should be heading home she decides that missing curfew won't kill her. Famous lasts words, of course, as Riley realizes she's not alone on the beach. Suddenly she is fleeing for her life, just as she begins to hear a voice in her head. The voice turns out to belong to a dark, mysterious and sexy man, Conlan, who saves her from the bad guys.

Conlan, is Prince and soon to be King of Atlantis. Recently escaping seven years of torment at the hands of Anubisa, the vampire goddess, he is on a mission to retrieve Poseiden's stolen Trident. Inexplicably drawn to Riley, he hopes her unique talent as an empath will aid his cause. Riley soon finds herself over her head as she risks her life to help Conlan and his fellow warriors.

This is the first book in the series and it does a good job of setting up the overall story. While generally a stereotypical romance, there were a few twists that will keep you guessing. There is great chemistry between Conlan and Riley and while not as steamy as some, there is certainly a bit of heat. The book has a good flow and the characters, including the supporting ones, are all interesting enough to make you want to learn more about them.

I read the second book in this series first. Reading this book, which is the first, helped clarify the storyline. Loved it!! Conlan has returned home to Atlantis from hell literally after seven years of torture. He comes home to find the Poseidon's Trident has been stolen. He and his warriors have to go topside to the landdwellers (us humans) to find it. While struggling and coming to terms with being the High Prince of Atlantis, he finds love with a human. Not any human but an empath named Riley. She can't understand her attraction to Colan or the mind link they share. While battling with their feelings and love for one another, and that fact is it possible that a mere human could become Conlan's Queen - there is a trident to find. Great plot, fantastic characters, and a few twists. Refreshing!! Can hardly wait to read the third in this series "Atlantis Unleashed" Justice's Story. Highly recommended!!

I read this book in one night (stayed up unitl 3:00 am to finish it) I could not put it down. I am looking forward to the next one which should be out Nov 2007.
