Isabell Lucas has the most amazing imagination - I don't think anyone has ever successfully created a book series with currently 70 "Children of the Gods" books published. Each set of books pays tribute to one of the fascinating characters that are part of Annani's clan. Her stories keep you spellbound and leave you with questions that you yearn to find answers for. I would give it 20 stars if I could, or more!

love it
Love this series, it’s well written gripping and such a huge story at 70 books and counting. It is well worth the read.

"It's a perfect storm. We have a real storm, a Russian destroyer on our tail with torpedoes ready to launch, a submarine on the Russian's tail, ready to take it out before he's in range to fire a torpedo at us, and the Russian navy closing in on their rogue destroyer." ~Toven/Tom
And Nils is monitoring the situation closely, dancing with the gray lady.
In Dark Alliance Perfect Storm, everyone seems to be wearing their dancing shoes. Jade is dancing away from admitting her love, Phinas is doing the impatient two-step, circling his Kra-ell prisoners, the counsel allows a new member to waltz onto their stage, and Igor thinks he is still dancing with the stars.
Break a leg, Igor. PLEASE.
Our next milestone in the Children of the Gods saga is about to take a bow, but I think there might be one more act with Igor as a supporting role. He thinks he's worth more alive than dead. I'm beginning to think that Kalugal doesn't actually have the biggest ego in this galaxy.
Book 70 touts just enough of the smooth moves to keep you in the theater, but it starts off as a slow dance. With Jade and Phinas in separate locations for much of the story, the dance of seduction doesn't begin until the curtain is about to close. You'll still want to toss a bouquet of roses, though.

The book count for this series may seem daunting since this is the 70th 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 final book for Phinas & Jade. I can’t wait to see where it will go next.

Dark Alliance Perfect Storm is book 70 in the Children of the Gods Series and is the finale in this trilogy. It is the story of Phinas and Jade.
Well it was worth the wait from the last book. The arc has turned and the Kra'ell are here to stay. Igor has answers, but you will not only get a bite from this book. The main couple are indeed Fated mates, but we already knew this. This book will dole out just enough information to set up the new story arc. It will also answer some old questions… Planet X gets a name, another Counsel seat get assigned (not telling who it is), why Igor is so different. So much going on, 5 stars.

Sort of Anticlimactic
I guess I was expecting something more. After the "chase" with the yacht and the Russian ship going after the clan and Jade's people on the cruise ship...and them finally catching Igor... I was expecting some resolution. But it continues to drag on. Now, we're looking for the Royal Twins of the Kra-ell, as well as the other Kra-ell pods? Meh...after 70 books, I'm not sure I'm interested.
Somebody let me know if they ever find Khiann in stasis in the desert.

Waiting for every book release with bated breath.
I cannot wait for the next chapters in the series to find out what happens next with the children of the gods. Will Jade be rid of the controller and will she find happiness? Will the teenager in the village be tested as a strong compellor who can override the half god/half Kraell? What is the plan taking place with the fates and will Annani have her beloved come back to life like wonder? I.T Lucas thank you for your great writing for I will be waiting for the next book!

Unexpected
I found the ending of this book, very unexpected. I did not expect Jade to assassinate him, but I did expect him to face the consequences if he could not speak to anybody by being compelled. I was left with high anxiety as to whether Jade had just put her and the clan in serious trouble by trying to make a deal with the devil. I’m not sure how this scenario play into the rest of the series since Jade’s 3 books were completed. I guess we’ll just wait to see how it plays out between the other love story that will be coming.

A colossal end to this trilogy, drama, suspense, romance
A colossal end to this trilogy, drama, suspense, romance it truly has everything written in the wonderful and inimitable style of IT Lucas. Yet again the story flows, with deep, rounded characters and associations and lots of interplay. Genuinely cannot believe book 70 is as strong and as awesome as book 1, that is a true, true mark of talent.

NEVER DISAPPOINTED!!
I am in extreme awe of the skill, imagination, and proliferative delights our dear author gifts us with! As always book 70 is as good as if not better than book 1 is. There's not a single one dimensional character anywhere in any of the stories. I'm tempted to believe that I. T. Lucas lives half in this world and half in the World where extra terrestrial gods colonized the earth.

perfect storm
What did I like?
I don’t think there was much to like except Jade and Phineas found each other. But what I dislike is that Sofia is still not transitioned. The humans in the village have not transitioned. It used to be one couple’s fight through three books. Now everything is just dragging out.
Sorry to say but I was disappointed. So I guess this will be thrown out.

Igor is Putin in Disguise
I have never hated a character more than Igor; he is aptly named...only he is monster. However, I am still committed and love each of these storylines. After all of these novels, I have yet to become bored. I find it difficult to wait for the reveal of the twins. Has Liam finally met his match? After the "others" awaken, will the Annani's bonded lover be among them?

Phinas & Jade Part3, Bk70
Yieeeeeeeee another HEA well I say a happily ever after do any of the immortals and their mates ever truly get a HEA.
There's more twists n turns than a rollercoaster in this series and this book doesn't let the ride slow down any more than any of the other books.
Not quite sure what's to be expected from book 71, but I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in A.S.A.P

Well Hell
Igor being more was always on the table. This series just gets better and better! I don’t know how you do it Ms. Lucas but keep them coming! After 70 books read I’m just as intrigued and fascinated!!! Excellent work! If you haven’t already read this series it’s so worth it!

Slow Progress
Dark Alliance Perfect Storm, book 70 of I.T. Lucas' Children of the Gods series continues Jade's storyline. The story has very little progress from the beginning of this book to the end. I love this series but story really needs to pick up the pace. I can't wait to see how the clan and the Kra-ell interact. Who will be the first to find a mate?

wow
I am so glad Igor was caught but he present a different problem I hope Annani can compel Igor or that the Odus can break through his immunity I am glad Jade finally admitted that she loved Phinus hopefully the next book provides more information into the twins and the other Kra-ell

Fantastic read
I can't believe I really enjoyed this book so much. I usually don't enjoy waiting for a new book in a series. This series is worth waiting for. I keep saying "enough is enough" when I'm waiting for the next book but I can't stop reading and wanting to learn the answers to how the characters evolved. Can't wait for the next one.

Most amazing books ever
I have never read anything like this in my 76 years. I couldn't put the series down. IT Lucas surpassed my greatest expectations. My family.can't believe I've read 70 books in a row. Now I have friends and family staring these books. Please don't stop writing or I will start having withdrawal. Thank you for this great gift of entertainment.

Dark Alliance Perfect Storm KU 332 pgs DNF Phinas & Jade What to do with the Kraell people once Igor is captured is the big question in this book. At 23%, I lost complete interest and am putting this book on hold, maybe to come back later. Too many new people to remember or even care about. Not much of the originals to keep me interested.

Dark Alliance perfect storm
Book 70 is as electrifying as Book 1, can’t wait till the next one. Each character brings his and her story to keep me from putting down my book. I love it most when their storyline ties in with my favorite character’s from earlier books. Keep the stories going. I love them…

Dark Alliance - Igor?
I find it interesting that Jade is the key to the Kra-El but Igor is the master manipulator (in his own estimation). Keeping Igor alive creates many avenues of distrust, manipulation and havoc for the Clan. The long harm seems to be leading to Kalugal’s end goal of world domination?

Loved it...
Some find a long series to repeat certain phrases. I found this series has not done that. The development of this story line is exciting. And the characters are multiple dimensional, their own personalities. I don't know what I am going to do when finish. It is so hard to find a good book after reading such an epic one.

Wow so much going on. Evil Igor is captured and being the creepy sociopath he is he holds the Kra-ell queens twins over Jade in order to save his life. I’m hoping she gets to execute him at some point.
With each one of the books with Jade and Phinas she opens up more. She has a great sense of humor I would never have guessed.
I’m excited to start the next book however I’m also a little sad. I don’t want to have to wait for the next book. ;)

Loved it, and CAN NOT WAIT for the next one. Jades personality and internal struggle of beliefs vs feelings resonates on a base level. Overcoming prejudices, adversity and diversity.

The plot thickens
The story with the clan and the kra-ell thicken. Can't wait to see who Vanessa is interested in. Hate to wait another month for the next book but look forward to it anxiously!

Good series
The series is one of my favorites and I read every book as soon as it’s released. This book did not have much of an action . Wish things were simpler for Jade to handle. Looking forward for the next one.

fast read
While I enjoy the story of jade and phineus, I’m ready for things to settle in. I’m wanting to hear about Alena and Orion and their baby. I’m curious to know what is going on in the village with everyone. Too much jade at this point.
