This book was give to me free in exchange for an honest review.This is an interesting read, the first half of the book felt like I was reading a'Twilight Zone' episode. One of the main characters, Quentin, having feelings of, Did I really see that? or Is this real or my imagination?. It was in a good way because I didn't know what was going on. Tyrin is an Atlantean who is part hunter looking for what is called Unders. People who have left Atlantis and not gone back, or people who don't know they are part Atlantean. His job is to take them back to Atlantis. Quentin doesn't realize he is part Atlantean, his father just up and disappeared one day. There is a lot of "accidental" meetings that lead Quentin, thanks to his closest friend, to think Tyrin is a stalker. Tyrin doesn't really want to disrupt Quentin's life, but his brother finds out and there is some confrontation.The description of Atlantis and its people is ...ok, but ...I don't know it just didn't give me a stong feeling for them. I know I'm kind of vague here but that's just it, there is a bit where Atlantis and its loss is described but I just didn't really connect. It might be just me.There are only two other Atlanteans in this story so far, Tyrin's father, the king, seems like a good guy, and his brother, a bit of a dick. Don't really know yet if the brother is really bad or if he just really wants to stick to the rules. Other characters were Quentin's best friend, Bertie, a Lesbian with a drinking problem and his mother who he finds has been keeping secrets.The only real problem I have is where the book ends. I have real problems with part one and part .... Books, especially when there is nothing concluding at the end of part one. Like a battle, or a mating or something! But other than that it was as I said good and interesting. A fresh idea.
