Well, two at least, and one for another book, no doubt. This book has two or three storylines converging at the end. A tried and true godlike device (Heracles, Jason, Odysseus, etc.) and always makes for an interesting read. The god/goddess who backs the winner gets Atlantis all to themselves to play with. In classic Greek mythos fashion, the gods and goddesses get bored and decide to fu… err… screw around with the denizens of Atlantis by testing them to see which species is the best. This entry is “Survivor-meets-paranormal-romance-story”. But I almost have to be dragged to the altar, so to speak. Once I’m there, I really enjoy the story. I have enjoyed these books, but have found them to be consistently “slow starters.” It takes me about 50 or more pages to really get into their groove. It’s an interesting premise with some “out there” concepts”. This means nymphs, vampires (really?), centaurs, dragons, etc., are all living, loving, and fighting together in their own little world. The ones who were considered failures were sequestered in Atlantis and sunk to the bottom of the sea. Its premise is that several paranormal species were created by the gods in their quest to create man.
