⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I still can't get over just how absolutely amazing this series is! To intertwine Greek Mythology and history in all aspects as well as current events is absolutely mind blowing! So much so that when you really look at it can certainly seem plausible..."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Move over Romeo and Juliet!"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Loved it! Exciting, interesting and hot. Love Amanda and Dalhu starts to grow on me. Highly recommended for those looking for an exciting and sensual read."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Once in while a book or series comes along that simply won't let you put it down and this was one of those great finds! I normally find myself skimming through characters to get to the ones I like, but not this time! I loved every sentence of every character introduced and simply want more!”
Since the dawn of human civilization, two warring factions of immortals, the descendants of the gods of old, have been secretly shaping its destiny. Amanda's small clan champions progress and peace, while their powerful enemy, the Doomers, propagates ignorance and war.
Descending from a single goddess, the only one to survive the ancient cataclysm that wiped out her kind, Amanda's clan members are forbidden to each other. And as the only other known immortals are their hated enemies, they've been long resigned to a lonely existence of fleeting trysts with human partners. That is, until Amanda, the goddess's youngest daughter and a researcher of paranormal abilities, makes a game-changing discovery; two of her test subjects might be dormant carriers of the immortal gene. But before she can prove it, she gets snatched off a Beverly Hills street by a huge Doomer.
Dalhu can't believe his luck when he stumbles upon the beautiful immortal professor. Presented with a once in a lifetime opportunity to grab an immortal female for himself, he kidnaps her and runs. If he gets caught, either by her people or his, his life is forfeit. But for a chance of a loving mate and a family of his own, Dalhu is prepared to do everything in his power to win Amanda's heart, and that includes leaving the Doom brotherhood and his old life behind.
Amanda soon discovers that there is more to the handsome Doomer than his dark past and a hulking, sexy body. But succumbing to her enemy's seduction, or worse, developing feelings for a ruthless killer is out of the question. No man is worth life on the run, not even the one and only immortal male she could claim as her own. Her clan and her research must come first.

Book four in the Children of the Gods series begins where book three ends, with Amanda's abduction by Dalhu. Amanda and Dalhu are near immortals, and their respective clans are at war with each other.

He had sworn himself as well as his descendants to wipe out Annani together with her...

Yes this is a huge series, and while I've only finished book 5 now, I'm thoroughly enjoying it! To start with, I love how the characters are introduced as the story goes on and even when moving to the next couple, it still includes the first so its as if the world of The Children of the Gods keeps expanding, and not just skipping from one to the next because I always want to know what's happening next with the previous stories in series like this. Next, while this is a fictional world, its also...

Dark Enemy: Taken KU/bought 234 pgs *** 6/19/21 Dalhu & Amanda 3 stars for all of the filler pages and 16+ repeat pages from book 3. The books seem to get shorter and shorter as I read them. I enjoyed to story but it did drag in several places. The last half was the saving grace, you could say. Dalhu, a Doomer, was not what I anticipated, he was actually the complete opposite of what I thought he would be like. The abduction of Amanda was interesting as was the team sent to rescue her. Syssi’s...
