Alyssa Day - Atlantis Unmasked
Synopsis from the publisher:
"A warrior scarred ...
Alexios survived two years of unspeakable torture at the hands of a vampire goddess. Now he's been ordered to team up with a beautiful warrior and take on the most dangerous mission of his life: to retrieve the Vampire’s Bane. Without it, Atlantis can’t ascend to the surface and take its rightful place in the world. But when evil threatens, will Alexios be led by duty—or his heart?
A descendant of Diana…
Grace is part of the rebellion against the vampires and shape-shifters trying to take over her world. She is deadly with her bow, because when she takes aim, she never misses her target. But suddenly she’s focused on a damaged Atlantean warrior who sees her as a weapon, not as a woman. When thousands of lives are on the line, will passion overrule, or will her aim still be true?"
The fourth book about the warrior from Atlantis. It's about Alexius, a warrior who, like others before him by the vampire goddess Anubia been captured and tortured. She enstellt one side of his otherwise perfect face with horrible scars that everyone seems to stare.
Grace, his partner, is a fearless, insecure leader of the rebel groups and is forced to Alexios for some time to work together. It is a distant Nachfarin the goddess Diana and, as such, meets the arc of each goal. She is strong and determined, and the next moment uncertain and lonely. This unequal
/ same pair's mission to find another gem for Poseidon, so as to prevent the destruction of Atlantis. There appear elves, where you do not know which side in this war, they prefer that the evil vampires or good Atlantis warriors.
I must confess, I have difficulties to reproduce the contents of this book. Not because I have not read or not understood, but because I found it infinitely boring and nonsensical. The couple already knew her from another band and it was right on the first pages of a certain attraction. They kiss even, after which Alexius turned into water and disappear. He has prior years Keuschheitsgelübte stored, because he wanted to make the purity of his soul to the tortures at Anubia again. Grace leads him into temptation to break this vow and he does not understand why. Just as I understood what the problem was ...
you whisper sweet nothings to each other so a little while and finally around is actually quite clear that they belong to each other. There is an all-changing kiss, the so-called soul-melt and during Grace has no idea why they suddenly see things from the past and Alexios many bright colors, our silent hero, and Atlantic states to the end of the book. I even think he has not, even not explained (or I've read about yawning).
The only highlight of this book was again Alaric, the High Priest who Amoklief, is injured when his mistress. I think if I would not be the next volume in the series here already, Alexios story would have been my last. I am still waiting for Alaric, because I'm really curious to its history, but Brennan's? Interests me not at all Alexios drama. Very sad.
