Book Description:
In the ethereal world of dreams, there are champions who fight to protect the dreamer and there are demons who prey on them...

Arik is such a predator. Condemned by the gods to live eternity without emotions, Arik can only feel when he's in the dreams of others. For thousands of years, he's drifted through the human unconscious, searching for sensation. Now he's finally found a dreamer whose vivid mind can fill his emptiness.

Dr. Megeara Kafieri watched her father ruin himself and his reputation as he searched to prove Atlantis was real. Her deathbed promise to him to salvage his reputation has now brought her to Greece where she intends to prove once and for all that the fabled island is right where her father said it was. 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 holds more than the ancient secrets that can help her find the mythical isle of Atlantis. He 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.

With a secret society out to ruin her expedition, and mysterious accidents that keep threatening her life, Megeara refuses to quit. She knows she's getting closer to Atlantis and as she does, she stumbles onto the truth of what Arik really is.

For Arik his quest is no longer simple. No human can know of a Dream-Hunter's existence. His dream of being mortal has quickly turned into his own nightmare and the only way to save himself will be to sacrifice the very thing he wanted to be human for. The only question is, will he?

I love Sherrilyn Kenyons Dark Hunter series, but I must confess I was hesitant to read this book. I'm so glad I did! I really enjoyed it. I finished in two sittings. While in my opinion the majority of the Dark Hunter books are deeper and darker, this was still worth the read. I really like how she tied up the other books with this one from the "past",

In this mix of fantasy and romance, Arikos is a dream god condemed to live in a world without emotions by the God Zeus. The only time he can feel any emotions is when he is inhabiting the dreams of others. He is drawn to the dreams of Dr. Megeara Kafieri. Megeara "Geary" only relaxes in her dreams. In the real world, she is continuing her father's quest for Atlantis. The quest that ended up destorying her father. Arikos is so drawn to Megeara that he makes a deal with Hades, two weeks of being human in exchange for one human soul - Mageara's.

I really liked the way that Arikos struggles with the differences between dreams and reality. He truly doesn't understand why Geary doesn't react to him the same way she does in her dreams. He's totally clueless about the mundane things in life - the things that people skip over in their dreams.

Good book! Lots of references to Greek mythology and gods which make it fun. Summary: Arikos, who only lives in others dreams strikes a deal to be a human for 2 weeks to meet and romance a woman with remarkable dreams. The woman who is in search of Atlantis, is not as remarkable in everyday life however and so he helps her with her search to try to set her free.

An intriguing start to Kenyon's Dream Hunter series, this book blends mythology with an exciting romance. For long time fans, there are also references to the Dark Hunter books and that "universe." An entertaining and gripping read.

The book was capitivating if you are into ancient Greek mythological gods and goddesses.

A true building of consequences, secrets, and life-altering events. Arikos and Geary were magical together!

First time I've read her, a little way out but if you like Greek Mythology it's a great love story. A battle between humans and gods loving each other.

I just could not "get into" Ms. Kenyon's mythology as easily as I can some other authors'. Immortal Atlantean warriors who can see into people's dreams. Good Atlanteans, not bad, but jaded Atlanteans - they feel like Olympian gods, but they are too arrogant for me to sympathize with them.

SK has a lot of fans, however, so this might just be your cup of tea.

This book was great in the beginning, but got a little slow towards the end. I would still recommend to a Kenyon fan.
