"I. T. Lucas is one of the best authors I have come across. The Children of the Gods series is fantastic. The characters are savage, gritty sexy, enthralling and the story lines are thrilling. I can't put the book down once I have started and I have read 11 of them. The men are superbly buffed and wild, and the women give them a run for their money in the gorgeous, sexy and strong stakes. Very highly recommend these books to anyone who enjoys sitting on the edge of their seat and chewing their nails in anticipation of what is to come."

"Outstanding! The story gripped me from the beginning and I didn't stop until I finished the third book. The other books on my kindle will have to wait because I'm going to keep reading the series to the last page."

"An excellent read! This is a very different take on paranormal and it was an accidental find. After reading the first book in the series, I bought the entire set. It's fast paced, intriguing and the characters are fully formed and interesting. I cannot put it down!"

"A new favorite author and series!!! I really enjoyed this book and the entire series. It's a wonderful paranormal book that is completely different from everything else out there. I devoured all five within a 3 day period of time. Both the writing, characters and story line was AMAZING and I'm dying to get my hands on the next book!!"

"I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SERIES! I was trying to find a series similar to the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by JR Ward and this hit the nail on the head! I finished the entire series within two weeks and I cannot wait for Book 9 to release! IT Lucas, please keep this story line going as long as possible... I cannot wait to see what happens to the rest of the clan!"

"Romance and intrigue that draws one in. Better than Shades of Grey by a mile."
While sheltered in the clan's stronghold, Syssi is unaware that Kian and Amanda are not human, and neither are the supposedly religious fanatics that are after her. She feels a powerful connection to Kian, and as he introduces her to a world of pleasure she never dared imagine, his dominant sexuality is a revelation. Considering that she's completely out of her element, Syssi feels comfortable and safe letting go with him. That is, until she begins to suspect that all is not as it seems. Piecing the puzzle together, she draws a scary, yet wrong conclusion...

All during Syssi's soak, Kian's words from earlier had been playing over and over in her mind, providing a background soundtrack to the vivid images they were painting.
On one hand, all these new and intense sensations electrified her. It was like discovering a whole new world of pleasure she had never known existed. It was exhilarating. On the other hand, she was afraid that once she had gotten a taste for how it could be, she would do just about anything to get more of it.

Before, she had never understood what drove people to indulge in careless sex, despite the potential utter devastation it entailed. Unwelcome pregnancies, ruined marriages, family feuds, wars... Literature painted an abundance of catastrophic scenarios Syssi had used to believe were mostly fictional. After all, what was so difficult about keeping your pants on?

But now, as need gnawed at her like a hungry beast, she understood.

Kian and Syssi's story culminates in Book 3 of the series: Dark Stranger Immortal, and the characters embark on a new adventure in book 4: Dark Enemy Taken.
