Book #3 - The Best so far!August 4, 2008 Oh, how I loved this one! The story of Danika and Reyes is a whirlwind of emotions and self-doubts (although Sabin's demon doesn't help here either). Inner battles waging war, battles with those who want them dead and/or captured, enemies trying to get the four artifacts and Pandora's Box before the warriors do - incredible fights, incredible thoughts, incredible suspense and mystery, incredibly erotic love scenes all added up to a perfect ending!
Danika - now there is a heroine I truly adore in a novel. Running, hiding and fighting for her life, she and her mother, sister and grandmother are seperated, hiding from the one warrior who was sent by the gods to kill them - Aeron, who `houses' the demon or Wrath. (He is currently chained, by Reyes, at the very bottom of the fortress's dungeon - and I can't wait for his book!) Captured by hunters, she is told a story that she is meant to believe, and she sort of does. Rescued by the warriors, she's back under Reyes's `protection', and yet most believe that she is either bait or a plant - especially Sabin. Fighting her inner battles, wanting to run, wanting to stay, wanting to find and protect her family, she is supposed to be spying on the warriors and relating information back to the hunters. Only, she can't do it - she can't betray Reyes, for his touch alone brings warmth.
Reyes is completely enthralled with Danika. Housing the demon of Pain, he learned to control the demon somewhat, and now only hurts himself to control the demon's urges. He is forced to chain Aeron in the dungeon to keep Danika and her family alive - and it eats him up inside. Meanwhile, he wants Danika in every way - and is determined to get her. However, there's a catch. He's tried the relationship thing before, but by allowing the women to give him pain at the same time as pleasure had always turned bad - the women turning around and hurting everyone in their path. Reyes refuses to allow that to happen to Danika - until she finally proves that she can do what he needs without damaging herself in turn. But then, there is a turn of events as well, for his demon seems to `take a hike' when they make love.
An incredible love story, they both beat the odds and the head God, Cronus, the king of Titans. And very creatively, I might add. I soooo can't wait for the next novel!
Not as good as the first two books.July 31, 2008 This book was enjoyable but it did not have the intense romance that Lucien and Anya did in the 2nd book or Maddox and Ashyln in the 1st book. I felt like there was something missing. I don't feel like Reyes has much of a personality. His character needs to be developed more. Lucien and Maddox are great characters but i can't really understand Reyes. His personality was so flat. The saving grace with this book is Paris and Aeron. If it wasn't for their short storyline, i would have given this installment only 3 stars.
fun seriesJuly 27, 2008 Who doesn't love a story with a bunch of sexy men? I wasn't disappointed with this one. Reyes and Danika went perfectly together. Poor Paris! I hope when his story comes about it will be able to live up to all the hipe Showalter has led us along with. Although, I have a feeling that we'll have to wait awhile since her next book is another Atlantis one.
excellent series a must read!July 25, 2008 great book ! there is a series you've got to read them in order for best enjoyment!! they are a group of immortal warriors with demons inside of them they have to live with forever so the "perfect" girl has to be perfect for the man and the demon! just a wonderful series. can't wait for the next one!!!!!
Good story, but...July 25, 2008 I have been enjoying the storyline, even though some of the characters do seem familiar. The only complaint I have is that Ms. Showalter has a problem writing endings. She consistently tries to tie everything up neatly with a bow. And much of the time, she only tells a quick summary of action concerning the fate of secondary characters. I would rather not know or have the character's story expanded upon in the next novel than a superficial, three sentence "clean up".
