Dark Operative A Glimmer of Hope (The Children Of The Gods Paranormal Romance Book 18) Kindle Edition

by I. T. Lucas (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,110 ratings
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "You will not be disappointed!! Don't miss this series!! Wow and Wow!! Roller Coaster! Grown folks stuff! Not teenage paranormal romance but complicated, complex adult relationships, intrigue, mystery, hot sex, fantasy, and romance! This is EVERYTHING you'll ever want in a paranormal fantasy series!! It will make you cry, make you laugh, make you cheer for the heroes and heroines! All of the characters are well developed with strengths and weakness, beauty and flaws. Exciting plots! Intriguing twists and turns! You'll enjoy the mythical, the fantasy, the history! This is a wonderful series! I'm having trouble trying to find something to keep me busy until the next book!! And it doesn't come out until June! What in the hell am I going to do with myself!! Fates help me."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"There is not enough words in the English language to describe this series. HOME RUN!!!! Miss Lucas is a genius with her stories. You will feel every emotion under the sun. I've laughed with the characters, I've cried, I've felt joyous, I've felt sad, I've felt betrayed... The emotions coming off the pages is so strong that they seep into your very existence. The stories are so well written and thought out that it's hard to believe she does this on her own. She has the most brilliant imagination and it comes to life on the pages. I've never enjoyed a series as much as i have enjoyed The Children of the Gods. Tis' a true masterpiece!!! 10 stars for Miss Lucas!!!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Loving these books. Great series! This series is a good read. I've yet to be disappointed. I enjoy the stories, like the characters, and admire the wiring.
I really enjoyed Bridget and Turner's story. Like Brundar and Callie's story before it things continue delving onto deeper darker more cerebral territory with the characters. Troubled souls you can't help but feel for and root for. and just really hope to see them work thru their individual issues, and of course, ultimately transitioned and settled in their happily ever after!
Each path is different, some more difficult than others. And I've really enjoyed each step of the way. And Looking fwd to the next and many more!!"
--------------------
As Turner and Bridget’s relationship deepens, living together seems like the right move, but to make it work both need to make concessions.

Bridget is realistic and keeps her expectations low. Turner could never be the truelove mate she yearns for, but he is as good as she’s going to get. Other than his emotional limitations, he’s perfect in every way.

Turner’s hard shell is starting to show cracks. He wants immortality, he wants to be part of the clan, and he wants Bridget, but he doesn’t want to cause her pain. His options are either abandon his quest for immortality and give Bridget his few remaining decades, or abandon Bridget by going for the transition and most likely dying. His rational mind dictates that he chooses the former, but his gut pulls him toward the latter. Which one is he going to trust?
-------------------------

An Amazon top 10 All-Star, I. T. Lucas is one of the most popular authors in Kindle Unlimited.

    Dark Operative:
    A Shadow of Death - A Glimmer of Hope - The Dawn of Love
    Series catch-up:
    From the beginning of time there have been near immortal beings who have molded humanity, been the object of worship but who as a race almost destroyed each other and human civilization.
    Now only two Gods remain both sworn enemies:
    The followers of Morta, the Doomers and the descendants of the Goddess Annani.

    Books 17, 18 & 19 the Dark Operative mini-series novels are the love story of Bridget, the immortal clan’s doctor and (Victor) Turner who we’ve met in former novels, Andrew’s former boss and the only human who is allowed to know about the existence of the immortal clan. Lucas’ series continues to wow with an inventive spin on paranormal romance, keeping it fresh with her inventive storytelling and ever changing world building. These books had a turning point feel to them that may have kept the pace a bit slower but not to worry it doesn’t affect the enjoyment and readers will still get their immortal fix, an exciting side-story romance while catching up with the rest of the clan including a cameo appearance by the Goddess Annani herself. And like the rest of the books in this series they must be read in order.

    SUMMARY:
    As a black ops operative Turner has faces life and death situations on a daily basis but now with a diagnosis of cancer he’s facing certain death – unless his intuition that he’s a dormant immortal is true and he can convince the leader of the clan to allow him to try to transition. He’s got one ace in the whole his new love interest is the clan’s hot blooded, fiery redheaded doctor.
    Bridget has lived a long time (she’ll never tell just how long) and in that time she’s only loved one male, her son. But now this sexy, intense dark operative has come into her life and he could just be the one. There’s just a few problems, he’s human, he has cancer and he could be delusional because he thinks he’s a dormant but even if he is he’s way to old to transition.
    In the mean time back at the keep the clan’s new village is ready to start taking residents and there’s another immortal and dormant falling in love.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another FANTASTIC BOOK By I.T. LUCAS !!!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    The Children of the Gods Series is definitely one of my favorite Series I've read so far. I highly recommend anyone who loves the paranormal stories will devour every book in this series. The characters are and story telling is always fantastic and the Author will take you on rollercoaster adventure in every book, but always leaving you wanting more... You will never be disappointed reading this series, except when you have to wait on the next book to be released. 5 STAR 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 RATING, I'd give it more if I could. But definitely start with the first book in the series, because the Author generously keeps up caught up with all the characters you fall in love with in every book.

    The story is getting better with each new chapter. Each new life story introduces more people and the drama draws you in to read more. MS. Lucas has the gift of imagination and storytelling. I keep following her stories to see where they will lead.I can hardly contain myself in waiting for the next book! I want to see if Turner and Dr. Bridget will be able to find out if he can be one of the Dorm ants who can transition. I also want to see who will fall in love next and what adventures they will encounter! I can hardly wait!

    Right God doesn't make mistakes he made man and woman not homosexual not lesbians not transgender to God they are an abomination and my biggest problem with your books and a lot of others is that they add homosexuality which I don't want to read about to bad I really like your books and character's and I don't like wasting my time or money on books that have any of that in them and hopefully you and others stop adding them to your books three stars for your character's but not for adding them to your story
