Product 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?

Not bad October 11, 2008
I am a big fan of SK's dark hunter series. I thought about skipping over the dream hunter books because I thought that they didn't really matter in the dark hunter series, but since some of the characters in the dream hunter series are in the DH series I decided to read them.
Let me just say that this book wasn't as bad as some viewers put it. In no way is this book my fav among the DH series. And for some reason I keep missing the fact that the time frame was set years b4 the first book. Another thing is that I kind of new right away how the story was going to play out. And for some reason there was just something missing in this book. The extra "umph" that is present in SK books was just not present. A certain "je ne se quois" factor.
The characters were developed ok. Their interaction.....ok. The story line was not up to the excitement as the previous books. For the most part I liked this book. But its no where near as good as the other DH books. It was just OK to me. It is good enough to get the other dream hunter books though. And it still hasn't turned me off of the DH series either.

Ms. Kenyon owes me the time it took me to read this. The only minor positive things were the references to Greek Mythology - but I'm not sure they are correct. The sex encounters were fairly well done and one wonders where she gathered the material for those. The plot development was poor at best.
I'm happy to have this behind me. It was a struggle to slog through it.

I would sneak into my parent's library collection and borrow their huge volumes of hardcover Readers Digest books. The ones that held the intrigue of my young mind were all of the stories pertaining to Greek Mythology. Reading this book brought me back to that old childhood obsession. It was pure candy for a reader such as myself. I never give spoilers but I do wish to add that after I finished this book, I had an immense craving for a vat of melted chocolate!

I absolutely love the Dark Hunter series but this book was dry. The relationship between the story's main characters was poorly put together. I felt like I had to push myself to read it. I did enjoy the insight into Katra and how Kenyon did some back story into her idea of Atlantis. I love Tory and I hope Kenyon develops a good relationship between her and Acheron in his story. I suggest reading this book only for insight in further books but do not hope for a good read.

I liked dream-hunter. I laughed at Geary's sarcasm and the insults passed between Arikos and Solin. It didn't get five stars because it wasn't as great a read for me as some of Kenyon's other novels, but it was good. I am an avid Dark-Hunter series reader, so it was enough to tide me over along with the other dream hunter novels until the next Dark Hunter release. Keep up the good work Kenyon
Write on, read on.
