Synopsis
Arik
is such a predator. Condemned by the gods to live for eternity without
emotions, Arik can only feel when he’s in the dreams of others. Now, after
thousands of years, he’s finally found a dreamer whose vivid mind can fill his
emptiness.
Dr.
Megeara Kafieri made a reluctant promise to her dying father that she would
salvage his reputation by proving his life-long belief that Atlantis is real.
But frustration and bad luck dog her every step. Especially the day they find a
stranger floating in the sea. His is a face she’s seen many times... in her
dreams.
What
she doesn’t know is that Arik has made a pact with the god Hades: in exchange
for two weeks as a mortal man, he must return to Olympus with a human soul.
Megeara’s soul.
Thoughts
Okay, so here’s a little bit of
confession time. I haven’t read this book, shocker, not really, but still, it’s
that I just can’t. It’s truly become,
like, my kryptonite of books in the series.
I say this, because unlike a few
that are to come (I think, it’s actually only one) I have tried to read this
book like....fuck knows how many time, the last one worked better than this
time I tried to read it. At least with that last read I read a few chapters of
the book, rather than this one where I just stared at the first page pretending
to read it.
Like really, when I finally figured
out what the hell I was doing it nearly had me in tears. I was getting funny
looks from my children—and they live with me, and know how odd I truly am.
Now I can’t give out point by point
reason as to why i didn’t like the book, though mostly it’s because the female
character annoyed me to much off the bat, and the male character...I don’t know
but there was just something a bit, skeeve about the whole reasoning behind
everything, that too and two of the side characters....I don’t know, but it was
gearing up to be one hell of a reded faced moment, and maybe I’m just not
comfortable with suck flat out embarrassments in the characters.
Ha—maybe that’s why I can’t fully
get into BDSM isn’t a lot of that about humiliation?
Still, it might actually be a good
book to have as this story sorta slides into another, but I just....I just
coudln’t read it I couldn’t find anything in either major characters that made
me want to know what happened and how they got there. hell I couldn’t even feel
a need to flip it forward and check it all out. it just....
Just unappealing to me. but that’s
just me, I’m sure a lot of people would probably like the characters and the
idea around the book, I just...didn’t.
