Atlantis Unleashed

Finally! After a way too long wait, the Atlanteans are back! "Atlantis Unleashed" continues the story of Poseidon's warriors who have been called to save humanity and bring Atlantis back to the surface. To do this, they must gather the missing jewels from Poseidon's trident or Atlantis will crumble rather than rise and humankind will fall to the bad guys.

Lord Justice sacrificed himself to save his brothers and ended up tortured by the vampire goddess Anubis. Did I mention she's really good at the torture thing? While escaping, Justice had to open himself to the Nereid side of his nature and now he is two beings in one body...a bit crowded, don't you think? But from his first glmipse of this human woman, Keely, BOTH sides claimed her for show more his own. Now they are in a desperate race to find the lost star of Artemis and Justice is finding it hard to hold himself back from the woman who is too good for a bastard child of a king.

Keely can't quite believe it at first...Atlantis is read and her weird skill can actually help them! When she's taken down to the watery kingdom, she knows this will be the biggest archaeological find of her career...even if she can't tell anyone about it. Then she sees the man she's been dreaming about, Lord Justice, and he claims her like a possession. At first she's frightened, then intrigued, and soon in love. But she'll have to accept BOTH sides of his nature AND convince him that her love doesn't come with a measuring bar.

I'm a sucker for this series. The baddies are really bad (mostly vamps and weres) and the good guys are awesome (and WAY sexy). With each book and each warrior's story, I swear that it's my favorite...until the next one comes out.

If you like tortured heroes, then Lord Justice is your dream guy. He's tortured physically (by Anubis), mentally (by his dual nature), and psychologically (by his illegitimate birth). That's one screwed up dude! But reading about his early years will bring a tear to your eye and watching him find the woman who loves him for all of him was wonderful. Keely was mentally strong and showed her grit in their search for the stone and fighting their enemies. I see some definite threads for future books in this one.

I like the sexy parts of this series, the overarching plotline, the individual plots of each book, the heroes, the heroines, the action, the mysteries...ummm, did I leave anything out? "Atlantis Unleashed" was worth the wait (and that's hard for me to say) but I'm especially happy that "Atlantis Unmasked" is already available so I can continue Alyssa Day's fab series. show less

The first chapter covers the end of Book II, Atlantis Awakening, so you could begin the series here, but you would have missed so much of the goodness, I recommend beginning with Book I, Atlantis Rising.

Ever since Keely had touched the wooden fish placed around her neck, she could see him…her blue haired warrior.

Who is she…the face Lord Justice keeps seeing?

I am lovin’ these fabulous love stories filled with magic and wonder. Each set of characters are unique in their own way, with secrets to be revealed. I love the feistiness of the female protagonists and their male warriors can TRY to control them all they want.

It was so funny when Brennan met Tiernan. Laughing through some very funny situations. I do like to enjoy my danger show more and torment.

I love Keely’s description of the Warriors…McHotties. I think that gives you a hint of Alyssa Day’s personality shining through her writing.

Funny, sweet, dangerous, uplifting, happy…OMG…the best one yet. I am blown away with this steamy, adult, sexually and magically explosive happy ever after.

But wait…it’s not over yet.

Justice sacrificed himself to save his brother. But when Dr. Keely McDermott meets the tortured Atlantean, she realizes that she has been having visions of Justice. With the help of Keely, Justice must overcome his mental anguish and find a vital, missing artifact.

Justice is a fantastic character, with wonderful depth. And the character of Keely is just as fascinating with her psychometry (ability to read the history of objects by touch). She's smart, strong, and no damsel waiting to be rescued.

Day has created an extraordinary world, surrounding the Atlantis legend. Her Atlantis warriors are powerful, alpha males, each with different personalities and interesting backstories. And her females are no shrinking violets; each is strong show more and has their own special abilities. The adventure is fun, and the romance is steamy. This is an ideal series for romantic fantasy fans looking for something different within the genre. Atlantis has never looked so good. show less

I was looking forward to Justice's book since first meeting him in Atlantis Rising and it definitely did not disappoint. This tortured warrior, who really has a great heart, is everything and more, plus all you want to do is run your fingers through and wrap yourself in his beautiful, long blue-black hair. Keely is a great leading heroine and I appreciate Ms. Day's approach at making her female leads strong, sarcastic, and intelligent women.

Atlantis Unleashed by Alyssa Day
Warriors of Poseidon series #3. Paranormal romance. Best read in series order. Original publication 2009.
Lord Justice put his very life on the line to protect his brother. Now found, but unsure of his own sanity, he looks to Dr Keely McDermott to help him reorient and even survive.
Keely has the ability to see the history of an artifact but that’s a skill she’s thinks she’s kept hidden. She’s hired for a job that will use her skill and open her to the very real world of Atlantis. Keely and Justice clash and connect as they fight to save their two worlds.

The concept of Atlantis makes me think of Pompeii with the people living and going into hiding. Just me?
I’ve read several books of this show more series and love the advanced technology and overall protection concept. The romance is contentious to start but also flirty and protective. I loved her humor and laughing reactions to the unexpected. show less

This is the third book in a series. This book focuses on Lord Justice (book one on Conlan, book two on Ven). Justice is a more complicated character than those in the first two books. The story is more interesting than the first two. Alyssa still focuses on sex, violence, and fantasy characters. I think her writing is improving.
