"Maybe I am evil." "Maybe I do have another side of me, a dark side, a side I refuse to let take over me." "Maybe I am dark." I thought, while sitting in my room; listening to my music. I mean I've always liked dark things', things', like vampires', werewolves', H.P. Love Craft, Edgar Alan Poe, & so on. When Diana Nightshade finds out she is a vampire, she is excited, yet scared; because of her new magical abilities' & gifts', &; the fact, she will outlive all of her friends' & family, as, she is now an Immortal Being, & on top of that; Diana is Mentally Disabled; so, she only has very few friends', that she trusts. When a new College Student, called Darque (Dark) comes into The Town of Springfield, Missouri; Diana is immediately smitten, as Darque is everything any girl would want. Darque is wealthy, well-built, handsome, & incredibly perfect, according to everyone; including Diana. When she gets to know Darque better, Diana figures out, he's just like her. Can Darque help Diana with her new powers', as a vampire, &; most importantly, can he help her "master" her emotions', when it comes to her Mental Disabilities'? Will Diana let Darque into her life, as he can help her, or not?
Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy:
"Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!"
"Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!"
"The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that."

Humanity is one secret society away from extinction.
The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe.
If they make it through the Academy.
Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess.
ADHD, that's me.
I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless.
I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head.
After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse.
I thought it might even get better.
Ha.
The universe has a great sense of humor.
I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I?
No.
That was my first mistake.
And it might be my last.
'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life.
A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand.
And the blood in my veins says I belong here.
But I have to prove myself to save myself.
And when have I ever done that?
