    About this ebook

    Since the death of their parents, Triona Pryor and her brother, Ben, have lived with their aunt and uncle in Camden, Maine. Now in her senior year of high school, Triona loves her family and friends, but she has always felt that she didn't quite fit in...in Camden, or anywhere else. Enter Caleb Wallace, the devilishly handsome man who has recently moved to Triona's small town. While their attraction to each other is instantaneous, it also proves to be dangerous...and deadly. When tragedy strikes, Triona flees to London for solace and to start her life anew. It's there she discovers from an unlikely source that her family has been keeping secrets from her - secrets about not only her birthright, but her ultimate destiny as well. Armed with this knowledge, Triona finds herself thrown into a whole new world and into a battle to save the lives of everyone she loves.

    Shades of Atlantis
    Author

    Carol Oates

    Carol Oates has never been one to remain still for long. After her parents’ mad dash to the hospital through the empty city streets of Dublin, Ireland, Carol made her debut into the world in the early hours of Christmas morning. Since then her pace has not slowed down in the least.Carol was introduced to the world of supernatural books when, as a child, her family moved to a coastal suburb of Dublin known as Clontarf, famous as the birthplace of Bram Stoker, the prolific author responsible for breathing life into the legendary story Dracula. This stirred in Carol an early passion for reading about all things supernatural. Combine that passion with a deep interest in the history and folklore of Ireland, as well as an active and vivid imagination, and Carol Oates the author was born. Carol’s love of writing about anything not entirely “human” emerged, and the premise for her debut novel, Shades of Atlantis, was born.

      Shades of Atlantis is an intriguing novel filled with soul mates, tragedy, and hope. Carol Oates has written every chapter with an entertaining and fascinating plot. The characters are lovable, flawed, and completely easy to relate to.Triona had never been interested in boys before she met Caleb, so of course he sweeps her off her feet and fills her days and nights with thoughts of him. Their romance is sweet and intense, sometimes cheesy, but it inspires hope for the future of mankind.Shades of Atlantis takes a sharp turn in the plot when Triona's world crumbles around her and she finally moves to London. Up to this point the story is addicting and unpredictable, but when Triona finally learns the truth about her family and its history, the storyline becomes a jumble of predictable events and outcomes. The tension between the Guardians and the Guardian's council comes to the light. Triona and her brother Ben play a large role in the matter, and are determined to end the council's tyranny, mending the relationship between Guardians and humans at the same time. Despite the awesomely detailed action scenes and heartfelt expressions of love between family and friends, the writing towards the end of the story was drawn out and packed a lot of information that could have been trickled to readers throughout earlier parts of the story.Carol Oates writes delightful stories and Shades of Atlantis is not one to be overlooked!*ebook provided in exchange for an honest review*

      Purchased: 3½ stars/5 starsReview by Leisha O’QuinnI have always maintained that a good set of characters can carry a mediocre plot right on through to the end. I honestly never imagined that I would come across a book with just the opposite scenario. I did however find this to be true with Carol Oates Shades of Atlantis.From the beginning I knew I was in for something pretty sweet – the title alone had me hooked as I love all things related to the Atlantis legend. (Lynsay Sands anyone??) I was right; the plot for Shades is really good and hands down the novel’s greatest aspect. There is lots of action, drama, and some very, very intense romance. To be completely fair, the combination of action, drama, and romance is sort of like a perfect storm and really keeps the reader moving through the book at near lightning speed from beginning to end. The super quick summary includes: 1)Triona and Caleb are crazy, scary in love after only a few days of knowing one another; this part of the story gets really intense2)Caleb and his family are something other than human; it takes Oates quite a while to get to the explanation of what the “other” actually is but the dragging out of the big reveal worked quite nicely3)There’s a nasty little prophecy floating around that Triona may be the beginning of the end for Caleb and his kind4)As you may of guessed from #3 above there is a group of super-bad guys that will do whatever it takes to prevent Triona from fulfilling the prophecy – nastiness ensues!Here’s the downside for me: I am a strong character lover and Shades just really didn’t deliver for me in this respect. Here’s the skinny on the characters for me:1)Triona: if ever there was a case of someone needing to be told “suck it up buttercup”, Triona is that girl; at some point, I just got used to the fact that no matter what the situation, big or small, Triona was going to break down into tears2)Caleb: although delightfully lickable in terms of his looks, as my grandmother used to say “pretty is as pretty does”. Caleb, while well-intentioned, is really kind of an idiot! Caleb’s trouble all begins when he tries thinking for everyone else and determines that everyone, especially Triona is better off not knowing everything about the über-dangerous situation they are all in. Add to this the fact that Caleb totally wimps out and runs away at a critical moment and you have a recipe for a wreck!! All of Caleb’s credibility and likability pretty much goes out the window after all the mistakes.3)The characters that were pretty awesome for me are Triona’s brother Ben, her BFF Amanda, and the super-awesome, lie detector Eila. For me, none of these characters were present enough. Each of these characters were the by far the strongest, most straight-forward and forthright in the novel and I really, really wish there would have been a lot more of all them in this story. Ben is strong, courageous, and loyal; Amanda is faithful, kind, and brutally honest and; Eila is beautiful, strong, and compassionate all while being a super-human lie detector. It’s a pretty sweet super-power The bottom line: I really am torn over this book as it had such a great plot but characters that sadly fell short for me. The plot in this novel is strong enough to carry the weaker characters and I think the book will actually play well with readers who are fans of super-intense, love at first sight romance reads. This is a YA novel but I would be remiss if I recommended it to the younger end of the YA reader spectrum as the romance is certainly not sexually explicit but it is quite intense.

      Shade of Atlantis was a very refreshing read for me. I enjoyed it a lot and I am glad that I got the chance to read it, thanks to Omnific Publishing.It was different from what I normally read, but in a good way. I loved Carol Oates take on immortality and where she took the story. When I first started reading Shades of Atlantis, I honestly did not know what to expect. I was thinking Vampires, werewolves, something along those lines. It turned out to be something totally different and caught me by surprise. There were lots of moments where I just couldn't put the book down. Then there were those moments I wanted to throw the book across the room, but at the same time I just couldn't stop reading. I loved the relationship between Caleb and Triona. I love it when two characters first meet and they just can't stay away from one another. All they think about is each other and feel an instant connection with one another. That is exactly what happened to Caleb and Triona. No matter how hard Caleb tried to deny the chemistry between the two, he just simply couldn't. Now we all know every book has to have some kind of love triangle, but what makes Shades of Atlantis different is that, Triona from the very beginning knew exactly who her heart belonged too. Even after others try to tell her maybe it didn't, her heart and love for Caleb NEVER changed. That was another thing I absolutely loved about this book. I wasn't torn between two characters and even felt positive myself that Caleb was the one for Triona lol. The only issue I had with the book is that in the very beginning Triona was very needy and whiny. She cried over every little thing and always assumed the worse instead of hearing things out. I was a little annoyed with her character, but I have to say she did grow. She went from needy and whiny, to strong and being able to hold her own. Especially with everything Caleb and Triona go through, she was perfect. So my advice, keep reading. Triona grows into a very independent person.

      This is a paranormal romance. I like the way that Carol Oates was able to take the legends of many paranormal creatures and incorporate them into one. Takes you from Maine, to London, and stops in Ireland. Adventure and romance.
    • 4/5
      Shades of Atlantis almost feels like two books in one. The first half is building relationships and connections, where the second half is revelations and action. You do need the first half to understand the unwavering decisions in the second half. The main character Triona transforms toward the end and it is necessary as she learns her destiny. In the beginning, I wanted to smack her for crying at the drop of a hat. But as the end neared, she had grown into a heroin. This is a good thing since there is a sequel to this book! I thoroughly enjoyed Oate's take on legends, lore, and Atlantis. The men in her book have yummy qualities, like Caleb, Ben, and Joshua, but they do not over power the plot. I don't want to give anything away of the paranormal nature, but I like the paranormal elements introduced. I personally would like to learn more about Caleb's brother Joshua and the intriguing Eila. She fascinates me, but in this book is a minor character. I feel there is more of a story there though? :D I recommend reading Shades of Atlantis if you are a fan of paranormal romance.

      Triona is a high school senior working at a restaurant in Maine. She’s red-haired, green-eyed, and feisty, which is a good thing since she has to navigate a world without her parents, who died when she was young. Fortunately Triona has a helpful supportive cast around her, including wonderful adoptive parents, a brother who mixes in teasing with caring, and truly loving girlfriends who are honest and fun.Three wealthy brothers own the restaurant where Triona works. When she catches a glimpse of one of the brothers — Caleb — all bets are off. (For some reason I pictured golden-skinned Caleb as a tall, blue-eyed Enrique Iglesias oo-la-la!) Triona’s completely drawn to him but, drat, he reportedly has a girlfriend in New York. Their feelings for each other smolder and then take an unexpected turn, leading to some fantasy and paranormal elements in the second half of the book.What I liked: I loved the strength of Triona’s character. She’s emotional and her emotions provide her with a sense of passion and fortitude. I really enjoyed Carol’s easy writing style. I’m a big fan of unique descriptions of the hero’s glittering blue eyes, like:“Staring into Caleb’s eyes reminded me of staring at the flames of Bunsen burners in school, fiery and dancing with blue light.” (p. 43)I also enjoyed how Triona’s friend Jen was insightful and honest:“You don’t want to admit this is some kind of freaky, we have to be together, love at first sight connection because your parents died. What you fail to remember is they died in a car wreck and not because they followed their instincts about being together.” (p.63)What I didn’t like as much: I didn’t really find the whole Seth storyline very engaging, and while John seemed interesting I didn’t feel like I got to know him well enough to have sympathy for him. I happen to find reality fascinating so I’m not a big fan of fantasy, but fantasy-lovers will thoroughly enjoy the twists and turns in the second half of the book as well.A great debut novel for Carol Oates!

      Shades of Atlantis is a teen romance with a supernatural kicker. The blending of Irish folklore with high school drama and teen love makes for an entertaining read. An "old" high school senior (she's 18), Triona experiences a rocky transition into adulthood, having to deal with not just growing up, but having to accept a whole new world of beings.The settings are realistic and the characters varied. While the story is about Triona and Caleb, minor characters Ben and Joshua and Amanda engage the reader as well.The main characters are a little on the old side for YA, but there is no explicit sexual content. The themes of love, discovery, and trust are engaging, both for teens and adults.One downside was that the kindle version I got may not have been the final version. The few errors were a little distracting.
    • 5/5
      I loved this book.The writing style is very good and kept me captivated. The story was fast paced and had enough mystery to keep me interested, but provided enough just enough detail and back story to let me build an understanding of and relationship with the characters. This was a refreshing change from some of the YA paranormal books I have read recently that have kind of 'dragged me along' with the story before I have any idea what is going on and who the characters are!The mythology in the book is very authentic and based on actual Celtic mythology.Triona started off very likeable but the more she 'needed' Caleb and we went through the 'does he or doesn't he love me' saga, the less I identified with her. Despite this I still thoroughly enjoyed the beautifully written love story between them, just lost a tiny little bit of respect for Triona.I did feel she redeemed herself in the final chapters though, showing the strength of character that was hinted at in the beginning of the book.As I have mentioned before I hate unnecessary comparisons to Twilight but with this book I feel I cannot avoid it. The romance between Triona and Caleb is quite Twilightesque: love/lust at first sight; Colossal misunderstanding where she thinks he hates her when in fact he knows he can't live without her; Heroine in constant doubt that she's good enough for her man, terrified he will leave her;Then he does leave her for 'her own good', she crumbles and struggles to cope without him; By the time she is beginning to move on, poof he's back! Plus a little love triangle with a 'good friend' who never really stood a chance but tried his damnedest anyway. This similarity really isn't a negative and I am sure any YA paranormal romance fan - Twilight fan or not - will adore this book.The epic romance aspects aside, the story is very different to Twilight and is about the Fae, or Guardians as they are referred to in this book, and their history with humans. I enjoyed the battle scene near the end immensely and would have liked it if that scene had been longer.I enjoyed this story more than other recent Fae books I have read and would highly recommend it.
