Review:
This is the first book in the Atlantis Series where we are introduced to dragons, vampires, centaurs, etc... All those things that shouldn’t exist but do… I wasn’t that big of a fan of Grace, she is a curvy woman but didn’t embrace those curves and as a curvy woman myself that annoyed me. Called me biased, I’m ok with that! Darius as the alpha male was portrayed correctly he was cold and standoffish and confused by his new found senses. When he is tasting food again for the first time in 300 years it brought a smile to my face the way he relished the experience. Because I know that the taste of an éclair is a party in your mouth even if you taste them on a regular, let alone for the first time. Overall this book was solid, it was kind of slow and I took a few breaks from reading it but overall a good story.
