I love Mo-red and Vanessa’s story! There is plenty of their relationship journey, but also plenty of the overall storyline moving forward. I may not enjoy all of the different views of the Kra-el women towards Igor’s pod-mates, but it is definitely an accurate display of what I would imagine people would think. I just hope there is a decent outcome for this situation. Not sure if one more book is enough to work this out. Look forward to seeing how this all plays out along with Annani’s discovery!!

Getting better
I really enjoy the plot of this book. I got bored with drawn out plots and unfinished story lines. Slowly they are getting answered. It's making the books interesting again .

Too many POVs.
It makes the story drag.

Truly Enjoying This Series
While a lot of the storyline is repetitive the stories change enough to make it interesting enough to continue reading. I can’t say the same about the love scenes which don’t seem to change much. It also seems there are quite a few discrepancies or I may have missed or misinterpreted some key points. I don’t remember them all, but here are a couple. I thought I read that Amanda’s son had died due to SIDs not a horseback riding incident and that Eleanor stated that compulsion can’t make you do anything like make you have sex with someone or kill someone you don’t want to which is contradicted with the Kra-ell from Igor’s pod. That being said, I am still enjoying the series even though it’s not edited very well. I’ve enjoyed getting to know the characters, their world and adventures, but I’ll be very disappointed when the series finally ends. Each new installment is too short, but that seems to be the way things are done in the current climate which all voracious readers should speak up about. Enjoy!

I felt like I was reading 3 different books. Seriously, the Igor issue is an entire series all on its own. Then Mo-Red and Vanessa, and let's not forget Sophia. Then if you want to add mayhem to madness, let's talk about Peter and Kagra.
The character sheet is growing and the stories are limitless! But pick a lane. Write your 3 stories about each character and move on. I feel like I'm in a whirlwind of mini stories without an ending. Heck, I'm still waiting for Mia's friends to come. How about Syssi's vision from eons ago where there were bodies littering the Keep?
Why is Navuh silent all of a sudden? The clan's biggest threat, not an issue now. I love this series, but at times I'm overwhelmed.

The book count for this series may seem daunting since this is the 72nd book, thankfully the way IT Lucas organizes the series is by having the books are set in 3-4 books in a mini-series that revolves around a main couple. There are often side characters & couples that you will see develop along side the main couple. The series does have an overarching storyline that continues through all the books so it is best to read them in order. These books are also told from the POV of multiple individuals, even many of the side characters or members of previous highlighted coupled. Each chapter clearly identifies who is telling their story so it is easy to follow.
This is the second book for Vanessa and Mo-red. I am seriously so invested in how the whole trial will turn out and I can’t wait to see where it will go next.

WOW!
This is part 2 of Mo-red & Vanessa's story. I.T. Lucas does a trilogy for almost every couple. Jade (leader of the Kra-ell) is trying to get information from Igor (a Kra-ell that killed her children & held her captive for over 20 years) with Kian’s (de-facto leader of Annani’s - his moms clan) assistance. Gilbert has asked Toven to induce him to immortality! Finally 🤣 Annani reads Igor & finds out that he is immortal, not long lived like the other Kra-ell. She finds out that he thinks the Royal Twins are her father’s children! 😳 YIKES!

Feels like things are starting to build to a climax!!
There are so many threads that all feel like they are starting to come together, little wanderings that feel like they are building to a real crescendo and I for 1 cannot wait to see how this is all going to come together, with a bang I suspect!! I love Vanessa and Mo-Red though this is less about them as a couple and more about the wider story arcs with a few new transitions....will be waiting with baited breath to see where this is going!!

Addicted
I am addicted to this series. I have been reading I . T. Lucas series from the beginning and each book gets better and better. Vanessa and Mo-red story makes you hope that everything works out for them. JADE, I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HER! This series never disappoints. I highly recommend reading this book and the others in the series. Getting to know the characters and the love for each other , the bonding , the risk to stay together, the loyalty to one another, and the secrets so they remain safe. I highly recommend reading this series.

Vanessa & Mo-red part2, Bk72
Vanessa is working her way through interviewing the Purebloods to help decide their future. But the only future she is interested in is her own & sharing it with Mo-red.
Meanwhile Annani, Alena & Orion have all jumped back on Annani jet to go back to The Village because Annani feels deep down she is the only one that can get to the bottom of everything with Igor.
Let's hope she takes care of her Clan when the next twist on the rollercoaster is gonna turn in to trouble cos it must be brewing

Excited and Impatient for the Next Book
I've enjoyed most of the previous books in this series, but none have quite gotten me as excited and impatient for the next one as this one. Oh man. Oh man. The twists revealed in this story had a wide range of possibilities and I'm so hyped to learn what happened next. I really need/want I.T. Lucas to make the next story available tomorrow. ;-)

I enjoy this series so much I have started it over waiting for the new books....but for me, the whole Kra-ell story line is just dragging on and on......I can see where it is going and I am excited for that, but for the love of God....speed it up a little bit! It is starting to read like Russian literature!! I love the characters but it seems some of ones from the beginning have been totally forgotten. Again...I am enjoying it, but it is getting bogged down.

Always Awesome
As always the world created by I.T. Lucas keeps expanding. New characters who bring new life to the creation are blended seamlessly with everyone and everything already given to us. I have known other authors who have cranked out a plethora of books in their own worlds, unlike them, this one never relies on formula to fill pages.

I'm so invested in this series that I overlook a few chapters could really be left out because a lot of them seem like fillers. BUT....the final chapters are so good it keeps me coming back for more.
It would be so awesome to have Annani reunited with her mate at some point. Everyone else is getting their HEA she should too.

Dark Healing Blind Trust
Wow, this was a very revealing story. I T Lucas has added twists to this continuing saga that was never realized until now that will undoubtedly keep the saga continuing for sometime. Looking forward to next book to see what transpires with Gilbert, Vanessa, Jade, Karga and the others.

Holy catballs Batman!!! She did it again!
I've gotta say, I. T. Lucas is a drop dead gorgeous author who brings to life all her characters. I can use my imagination as visit each and every story she writes in this series. Her creativity and futuristic ideas are a readers wet dream!!! Lol

Amazing as always! Keep them coming!!
I'm loving the development of the new twists and turns the series has become. The new additions are adding variety and room to continue the story without it becoming routine. Very well written, you become close to all of the characters as you reach book 72. I am always watching for the next release!

Wow So Much Information
Dark Healing Blind Trust is book 72 of I.T. Lucas' The Children Of The Gods series. It's packed with information the readers have been waiting on. The Kra-ell's background is explained more. Of course with that comes a ton more questions. I can't wait to find out what is next.

I'm reading this book on my kindle and in the last few chapters there were words missing, so that was a little frustrating so this book took longer than usual for me to finish. I'm eager to read the next book to find out more about Igor his storyline is getting too long for me, I want his secrets revealed.
I've read the whole series and look forward to more.

highly entertaining
I have read all of the books in the series and have enjoyed them all. All of the characters that are introduced are interesting and the story lines that go with them intertwine with each other and make it so you do not want to put the book down. It has sex, adventure, romance, drama and some comedy.

Oh My Stars!
This one didn't get good to me until the very end... literally!
Gilbert's attempt at transition and that whole story was kinda funny.
I'm getting a little bored with Vanessa and Mo-red.
More speculation is coming out about Igor and "The Royal Twins"... and that's gettin' good, y'all!
On to #73.

And the story continues
There was a lot to unpack in this one, and it kept interested. There are some twists and turns with this one. I am really curious to see how they will play out in the next book.

LOVE THIS AUTHOR
This book like each before pulls you into the world of the immortals. It’s a brief escape from the day-to-day. You will be drawn into the storyline and be as anxious for the next installment as the rest of us. 🥰

Not as good as the others
I have read all the books, this included. Keep more to the story
line, less with the sex, found this way overboard. I enjoy learning more of the characters, the background of the gods, immortals, the plots.

More, more, and more
You would think that after 71 books I would be a little bored with this series. No way. I am just as excited now as I was to begin with. I just wish it wasn't so long between publications.

Intriguing
Vanessa and Mo-Rad were intense from the start, so things can only get more so from there. Kian and Jade are turning out to be very interesting together. Some others are also coming into more focus too.

I only gave this 3 stars because I was turned off by the Vanessa and Mo-red sex chapters. I have nothing against sex in books but I’m more interested in Igor’s story, the twins etc. No need to go into chapter after chapter with their sex.

This is my second time reading/listening to the book. I enjoyed it more this time. Curious about the trial and how the Kra-ell fit into everything. I just wish that the audio books were released closer to the written books.
