Book seven in the paranormal romance series, this is Christophe's story.Attempting to steal one of the gems from Poseidon's trident, currently residing in William the Conqueror's sword in the Tower of London's jewel house, Christophe runs into another thief trying to do the same thing.The thief, the scarlet ninja (really Lady Fiona Campbell), and Christophe, join forces to try and recover the gem when it is stolen by a third party.Typical of all the books in this series, this is a fast paced romance, with lots of magic although this also features a few appearances of the fae. There are cameos from the other characters you have come to know and love in the series as well.Alyssa Day is a fine author in the paranormal romance field, her books a mixture of action with a few sex scenes thrown in. If you enjoy the genre, you will certainly enjoy these books. Another spine tingling adventure of the warriors of Poseidon! Moving away from disparity and tons of character angst, Atlantis Betrayed's tone is full of mischief and cockiness. Atlantis' resident "Bad Boy" Christophe is just itching for a little more adventurous endeavors. Slaying vampires and shifters for centuries has become mundane. So much so that his deeply rooted animosity towards the human race is may reach a fevered pitch; putting Colin and Alaric on edge. That is until a certain cat burglar prowls onto the scene of his latest assignment. A sultry mix of cat burgulat, Scottish aristocracy and a bit of a hellraiser, lady Fiona Campbell is the perfect match for Christophe. Her unassuming exterior hides a fierce sense of duty, honor and loyalty to friends and family. Fiona is no shrieking violet; she more than willing to take the bull by the horns and use whatever means necessar to achieve her goals. I laughed out load at he number of times she manages to turn the tables on Christope.Romantically "Atlantis Betrayed" is hot, spicy and just a bit kinky. Christophe is dark and sexy and the romantic elements successful reflect his not so vanilla ways. Though Fiona was raised as a proper "Lady" and can play the part when needed, her exuberance and forthright attitude towards her attraction to Christophe makes their courtship all the more exciting.As in the previous installments, the task of recovering the missing jewels of Posiedon's Trident is the focal point of the story-line. This time the recovery of the aquamarine stone known as "The Siren" is the goal. "the Siren" is said to have the ability to enthrall all shifters. It's a race against the clock as others seeking the power for themselves jockey for the ultimate prize. Ms. Day continues to astound with her intricate world building and character development. She never looses site of the mystery of Atlantis and its tales that circulate among the humans. It always surprises me how the other mon-human races disimiss Atlantis a just a fable or it's warriors as no real threat. The book has all the elements that are the standard for series and is a fabulous addition. I Can't wait to start "Vampire In Atlantis"
