Rufsur and Edna:
First off I just have to say I’m so excited for the next book! Sari gets her man! We are off to Scotland! So exciting!
Loved this book and the preceding two for Edna and Rufsur’s story. Loved the solution and how it all came together.
Eleanore occupies that part of my brain that screams -red flag!!
In one minute I really want to trust her and hope she gets the help she needs and that with the love of her man she might be ok. But then she starts in on her inner thoughts and I want to put her in a cell and throw away the key. If she had a mental illness wouldn’t the transition have helped her. I’m thinking bipolar or schizophrenia. or PTSD. PTSD because in the book there’s a little snippet about something happening to her in the past. Can’t wait to read the next one!!

Fantastic as always!
Moving into the next chapter for these 2 groups.
Should be quite interesting
As always, this series is PHENOMENAL! This particular romance has key issues that must be resolved before they can be together, as they are both important to their group/clan. It seems as if things are headed in the right direction, & the groups are merging soon. I'm thrilled, yet worried that something horrible is going to happen! Kalugal seems genuine, & Jackie is a good influence, so I don't think she would allow him to hurt or endanger the clan, but I still don't trust him. I want to, and I like him, except for his wanting to rule the world crap!! But there's something inkling in the back of my mind that tells me that something is going to happen soon, that I'm not going to like!
On the other hand, if everything does go well, then the possibilities are endless for new romances between the clan members and Kalugal's men! 👍💗🥰💓🤞💖👌💞
Plus, they're headed to Scotland, so Sari's chance for her one and only true mate is coming right up, I'm sure of it !!! I love anything about Scotland, as it seems so wild & crazy, yet enchanting & fine. Can't wait to hear about the castle & how Sari's life is there as immortals. How they live, what they do, etc. We haven't delved into that side of the clan hardly at all. Just bits & pieces so far.
And, as always, the awesome romance, sex, & the fantastic ongoing plotline, which continually includes all the other previous characters, couples, & situations that could go so many different ways!!!
I'm not really thrilled with Eleanor's character, or that they basically had to bring her into the fold so to speak, cuz they couldn't let her go, as she's untrustworthy, & a wild card. I thought maybe her and Richard might be true mates, cuz both their characters are a little strange, off! But so far it seems that her and Greg may be true mates. We'll see. And maybe she'll become a better person now, like Richard . I think he's changing for the better as time goes on.
Anyway, lots of changes happening, & I can't wait to see where Isabell is headed with everything! There's so many things that are still unknown, that could go so many different ways. It's always 5 Star writing, and great editing, proofreading. I hardly ever even see a typo !!!
43 books in, and I'm still as addicted as I was since book 1 !!!
It never gets old. Granted, every romance is 3 books long, but she's continuing the whole plotline also in every book, so it all takes up space, & time to create!!! Ya know?! I lOVE IT !!!
Side note, I recently became one of her ARC readers, but that has no effect on my honest and thorough reviews. All my previous reviews gave just as much high praise and were just as supportive as before that!

Dark Choices The Accord (The Children of the Gods Paranormal Romance Series Book 43) - I.T. Lucas
Book 43 The Accord brings to a guarded conclusion to the Kian/Kalugal clan joining. With many precautions set in place and an uneasy yet promising future this move makes so much sense. There is so much hope for these immortals, besides more mating between the clans there is the added benefit of combined forces for protection and great minds working together.
It was heart warming to see Edna and Rufsar finally getting their happy ending and to see how the other characters and couples are evolving.
This addicting series continues to have me glued to the pages (iPad) in one sitting and enjoying every minute. It’s as always a fast paced exciting read set in a mesmerizing realistic world with well developed characters and interwoven storylines connecting the series into a saga.

Dark Choices: The Accord KU 341 pgs **** Rufsar & Edna
4 stars. Much better than the last book. Rufsar & Edna are still trying to figure out how to get Kalugal to move his men to the Village and they are getting a little help from others, William, Turner, Jacki etc. Eleanor (Marisol) continued with her snooping and trying to get into Kalugal’s house to find more paranormals or whatever they were hiding. She unknowingly put herself into a situation, again, with Greggory (one of Kalugal’s men) that gives her little to no control over current situation. Annani worked her magic before Kalugal & Jacki’s wedding. It was awesome how everyone got along, like family should but does it last? There were parts of the book that I skimmed but over all it was good. Can’t wait to start the next book with all the changes that are to come!

Another great addition to the children of the gods story!!
Loved this book. I love how everything is coming together, and the clan is expanding. However, i feel as if the pieces are falling into place rather quickly compared to the rest of the series. And i really dislike Eleanor more than wendy! I would like to see her get some extensive help from vanessa and evolve more.... she is still mistrusting and petty. Her self hate expands to everyone she comes into contact with. On another note, i wish sari could have the full 3 book love story! And i still have so many unanswered questions that i hope to be resolved!

What Lies Ahead?
This book marks a possible turning point for all North American immortals. How will Kalugal and Kian bridge what separates them and can they ever become one? Will Edna and Rufsur ever have the kind of relationship that their bond demands. Is Marisol a friend or foe.
Jackie and Kalugal’s wedding brings more than just the goddess to the village. There’re new relationships, potential alliances and an uncertain future. IT Lucas never fails to deliver and this installment is no exception. If you are an addict as I am if the Children if The Gods series, you wait with bated breath every single month.

Redundant & immature writing
The premise of this series is great . The characters are all great but it's all to drawn out .The redundancy in most chapters is just immature the characters will repeat the same words thru out the book, it gets to a point that I can skip paragraphs because because the exact same words were in the previous chapter . I feel the books could be more complete stories vs 3 to 4 books on the same main charters for that part of the complete story . It should take 3or 4 books to establish a characters personality.

Edna and Rufsur have been putting their heads together to make a plan on how to move Kalugal's clan into the village. They got Turner to add to the plan. Will Kian and Kalugal accept that plan? Eleanor comes onto the scene making a date with Daniel, one of Kalugal's clan members, where she is planning on how to get information without getting caught. Loved this story and can't wait for the next book.

Problem Solved
Eleanor's transition was a surprise! Other than Navuh, she was the other villain. Everyone hated her so I was surprised to see her get a second chance. Glad to see how everyone came together to plan how to merge the clan with Kalugal's people. I like that book 44 will be set in Scotland for a change. Look forward to reading about Sari and Dr. Levison.

Love the direction this is going in!
This is one of the more unique books in the set because it presents a new direction for both the clan and Kalugal. I am still a little weary of Eleanor given the inner workings of her mind presented throughout the book but curious to see where I.T. Lucas takes us to next.

Change
This one is a winner. I have enjoyed every story but I love this the most. The cousins meeting and truly getting along. Eleanor transitioning was an interesting event I still want to see how that is resolved. Expanding this world is breathtaking. Please bring on 44 asap!

Funding a Way
Dark Choices:The Accord is book 43 in I.T. Lucas' The Children of Gods series. Edna and Rufsur want to be together. They must find away for Kian and Kalugal to trust each other enough to coexist in the Village. With help from friends it might just happen. Time will tell. This series never fails to deliver. Even 43 books in and I'm disparate for more.

Here is the perfect thing for these totally depressing times. Happily ever afters all over the place. Annani is here with all her kids and it's just one big family get together. There still the hot and steamy parts but it's all about happy ending stuff. Got to admit it cheered the quarantine blues right out of me.
September 6, 2020
Love this series, just wish I didn’t have to wait for the new books to come out! Looking forward to learning more about Sari and Scotland and so excited that the clans are all coming together. When will we learn more about Annani and all the treasure that Kalugal is finding? Is her mate in stasis?????

Love it
I can't say enough about this book or this series. It's definitely one of the best I've ever read.
I still wish some how that Ananni could find Khiann alive. This is the one story I've been fantasizing about. I really hope it happens.
If you haven't read this series you should.

Things are progressing nicely. I’m anxious to learn more about Richard although I don’t find him a very sympathetic character. Eleanor is interesting but not worth a book. Now how many days before the next book is released.

What a ride I could not put the book down
When reading this book I feel part of the community part of the family.The characters are so well drawn and I know them so well from the previous books.

Excellent!
I am so loving this series! With every release, I find myself caught up in it waiting to see what happens next. With every release, I find myself rooting for characters I initially did not like.

Another stunning story
Granted it doesn't contain any battle scenes...well not quite, but it does, as always, pull on some wonderful and fascinating theories that truly can be worked into modern day society. Great book and even better series!!!

Enjoyable
I really like the series. I enjoyed Rusfur and Edna's story. My only complaint is that it is taking a long time to get to a conclusion of the series, but I can sense new plots emerging.

Another Great One
You didn't disappoint. This was as awesome as all the previous books in this series. Happy Richard is getting to stay in the village. Can't wait to get started on the next book.

Another wedding. Kalugal and Jacki make a great couple.
Rufsur and Edna pulled off a great presentation.
Annani used her powers and it was awesome for all.
Eleanor is something else. I don't know if she should be trusted so easily.
Overall, it was a good read.

As much as this couples' union was vital for the storyline, I am not sad to see Rusfur and Edna's POV go. For me, I did not resonate with them as much as some of the other couples. I am loving Sari and David though so far!
November 21, 2023
I couldn't have dreamed of a better ending for this book!
Wow! Talk about surprises! Making plans and agreeing to work to bring everybody together was amazing. Now I just hope it all comes together, and peace and harmony prevail.
