Atlantis Redeemed (Warriors of Poseidon, Book 5)

I really liked this book. Alyssa Day is a wonderful romance writer. This story was entertaining, the creepy thrilling action was exciting, and the characters interesting and different.

Hooked on those Atlantis/Poseideon Warriors books from the first. I liked the Brennan/Tiernan teaser from Ven's book. I just knew this was going to be great. Ms. Day gets better & better. I love Denal & can't wait for his story & for Alaric/Quinn to be resolved. Hope Liam, Daniel & jack get a story too!!

Alyssa Day got me hooked on the 1st, Atlanta Rising! I started reading this installment the day I got it & it didn't disappoint. Can't wait for more, especially the story of Alaric.

Atlantis Redeemed has a great hook and a most excellent beginning. Atlantean Warrior Brennan was cursed 2000 years ago by Poseidon to feel no emotion until the day he meets his mate and then he is doomed to forget her every time she leaves his sight until the day she dies. Then the most vindictive part of the curse kicks in - he will regain his memory of her so that he can mourn the loss of his soul mate for all eternity. What a wicked curse - never, ever get on a god's bad side. We met Brennan's mate, reporter Tiernan, in the previous book. Like all the other female soul-mates in the series Tiernan has a more than human power, Tiernan's is that she's a human lie detector. Brennan's first encounter with his mate is incredibly intense, all his emotions come back with a vengeance and he is bombarded with 2000 years of denied emotions at once and quite overwhelmed with his new feelings of lust and possessiveness for his mate - it is only his warriors training which keeps him from succumbing to his desire and claiming Tiernan against her will. Tiernan's power makes it so that she can readily accept the truth of Brennan's curse, which I found refreshing - no drawn out big misunderstanding to overcome- and when Tiernantests Brennan to see if she can detect his lies - wow! Talk about intense and steamy, Brennan can lie to me anytime. The intensity level eventually comes down to a more normal level but Atlantis Redeemed still ends up as my favorite in the series so far. There are also good cameos from past pairs, and some vampire intrigue by Daniel and evil scientists who are a threat to shifters and humans both, all which add to the continuing story arc. Can't wait for the next one, Atlantis Betrayed, Cristophe's book out in Sept 2010.

In 202 BC, a raging Poseidon punished Brennan for his cavalier behavior. For the next two millennia plus Poseidon cursed Brennan with feeling no emotion as a just penalty. However, that is only part one; the second half of his chastisement is that once he meets his soulmate, twenty two hundred centuries of no emotion will explode like a supernova but each time they separate he will fail to recognize who she is; that time is now. In Atlantis Prince Conlon informs Brennan that mortal reporter Tiernan Butler is their contact, as she is investigating evil experiments on shapeshifters by a consortium of humans and vampires. From a photo and then in person he knows she is the one. However, as they work together to unravel the truth at a scientific convention, the curse appears to destroy their chance of everlasting love and also catching the sinister scientists behind the shapeshifter scheme. The twisted curse refreshes the latest Warriors of Poseidon adventure (see Atlantis Unleashed, Atlantis Unmasked, Atlantis Awakening and Atlantis Rising). The lead couple is a terrific pairing as Tiernan deals with Brennan and his curse while seeking an evil group preparing to destroy Atlantis and much more. Fans will relish the latest oceanic romantic fantasy as Alyssa Day moves her overarching plot forward with a wonderful entry. Harriet Klausner
