bookwife's review against another edition

okay. So I have.. 13 audio books checked out. Yes 13. I am a nut ball. But I can listen to books at work so yay me. But I was sitting at work and I couldn't decide what to listen to. I just had too many options. So I picked this one because I kinda thought it would be ridiculous. Atlantis and Warriors of Poseidon.. I don't know. I was thinking Mermen and shit. It was late on Friday when I started. But jokes on me because I freaking loved this book.
First off I love Riley. She was super sweet but she also stood up for herself. A lot of times characters are too 'strong' and it just comes off bitchy or they are too sweet and they end up a push over. Well Riley was a good mixture of both. She gets thrown into a crazy world with these He-man Atlantis Warriors and she holds her own. Which is a good thing because she has caught the attentions of Conlan, The Prince of Atlantis.
I like him as well. He makes a few mistakes, sure but who doesn't. Since they meet at the very start of the book I can't say what he was like before he met Riley but I will say that I like them together. I think they are defiantly stronger as a couple and I think that they will be great leaders. I am excited to see how they progress in the series.
I will definitely be going on with the series! There is so much going on with the vampires attacking and trying to take over and I love all the warriors. They are funny and so completely different so I am excited to learn more about them.

This book was really interesting. Loved the mythological aspects in it.
I had never read a book about the myth of Atlantis before.
Also, I missed reading about a brotherhood of warriors like the Warriors of Atlantis.
I can't wait to read about Denal, the sweet young one and Alaric, Poseidon's priest, even though he was really pissing me off with his "I have the power of Poseidon on my side, so don't defy me, boy!" ways.

This is the first book I read by this author and while the plot was good, in my honest opinion, the book itself was not :(
The switch in POV was nice and pretty unique, but it got a bit too much, especially when you got to the steamy scenes. It just made it overly long and weird, and I must admit I skipped much of those scenes (can’t believe I’m saying this!).
I know as this is a first in the series, the author would want to paint a picture of their world, slowly introduce everyone, … But the character development was just about decent. There wasn't any depth to the characters. I would have thought Riley would have needed a longer time to adjust and come to terms with what was happening, but well, she leaped pretty much straight into the unknown :)
Conlan was also pretty blasé about what their relationship would mean to the Atlanteans and while you know what happened in his recent past, we don't really know anything about him (or anyone else for that matter).
I think of all the characters in this book, I like Alaric and Ven the most :D One is dark, broody and powerful as hell and the other is a killing machine with a fun and playful side.
Pacing and flow were good, though as earlier stated, the switching of POV was detrimental to the overall flow and feel of the story.
The book itself was well written with only a small error here and there, nothing that bothered me while reading. And yes, there is sex described in this book (if that is important to you).
All in all, I’m pretty sad it didn't turn out as good as I had hoped it would be, so I’m not sure if I’ll continue the series or not.

Meh. Typical Paranormal romance. Hopefully there are a few more tricks up the authors sleeve for the next few books in the series. I'd hate to DNF the whole thing because its the same story, different characters. :-/

Oof. I made it about 30 pages in and I'm gonna have to call it quits. A big part of why is because I didn't do my homework going in because there is so much that I needed a content warning for in here that it's unreal.
Before page 20, we have:
-Graphic torture
-Sexual violence (several times, committed against several characters)
-Graphic gun violence/death
-Domestic violence committed against a pregnant woman
By page TWENTY!!
Needless to say, this is not anything I feel the need to read, so both books in this series that I own will be going to Half Price. Maybe someone else will enjoy them.

I'm tracking the author's website and what she lists as the books in order. In this case, the website and goodreads match up. The remaining books do not.
Bk. 1, Conlan and Riley. Fast paced, instant attraction, lots of fun. Atlanteans against shapeshifters and vampires.

I love these stories, and this is a re-read for me. I read these a few years ago now but they always stuck with me. I'm beyond happy to step back into the world of Atlantis and those hot hot hot Warriors. This isn't my favourite of the series but it's a great start.
