    The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

    Born of a match between good and evil, four siblings stand between hell's minions and everything they want to destroy. They are the Lords of Deliverance, and they have the power to ward off Doomsday . . . or let it ride . . .

    LETHAL RIDER

    Thanatos, the most deadly Horseman of the Apocalypse, has endured thousands of years of celibacy to prevent the end of days. But just one night with the wickedly sexy Aegis Guardian, ReganCooper, shatters centuries of resolve. Yet their passion comes with a price. And Thanatos must face a truth more terrifying than an apocalypse-he's about to become a father.

    Demon-slayer Regan Cooper never imagined herself the maternal type, but with the fate of the world hanging in the balance she had no choice but to seduce Thanatos and bear his child. Now, as the final battle draws closer and his rage at being betrayed is overshadowed by an undeniable passion for the mother of his child, Thanatos has a life-shattering realization: To save the world, he must sacrifice the only thing he's ever wanted-a family.

      I love the way Ms. Ione addresses very real issues. O. C. D. Isn't a joke if you or a loved one suffers from it. And that is not the least of issues attributed to the characters in her novels and short stories. I love the world created for truly whole and fascinating characters. Fully fleshed and marvelously flawed. I don't think I can find the right words to express how much I love the Demonica world and everyone who fills it. The hours of enjoyment are a gift beyond measure.

      This series is shaping up pretty well. I enjoyed this one, looking forward to Reseph's book, and really looking forward to Reaver's! (3.5 stars)

      Larissa Ione is back with the third book in her Lords of Deliverance series. While I am a huge fan of Larissa’s, I didn’t love Immortal Rider, the previous book in the series. I had my doubts as to whether or not Lethal Rider would get it back on track for me and I am happy to say that it did not disappoint.Lethal Rider picks up about 8 months after the events of Immortal Rider. Than’s been kept in a state of mental consciousness but physical immobility by his siblings as they await the birth of his son (of which he has not knowledge of). Baby mama Regan is hiding out in Aegis headquarters, waiting to give birth, while trying to deal with her feelings of guilt over her “seduction” of Than and the resulting pregnancy. When Than breaks out and finds Regan, she has some heavy explaining to do. Pestilence is still doing his evil best to bring about the Apocalypse and the body count rises.The events of the last couple of books really come to a culmination in Lethal Rider. Pestilence, nice guy turned douchebag extraordinaire, soars to new heights of dickdom in this one. It’s clear that Ione isn’t afraid of killing characters and I was surprised by how bloody this one was. There are appearances by the usual Demonica crew as well as Reaver and Harvester. I am not really sure what’s going on between those two but I hear a rumor that Reaver might be getting his own book and I hope it’s true. There is plenty of action to go with the romance in this book and, unlike Immortal Rider, the other plotlines in the book did not overwhelm the romance and I felt like there was a good balance between the two.Speaking of romance, I loved Regan and Thanatos together! I wasn’t sure how Ione was going to make the relationship work given how things ended in the last book. But she tackles it head on, showing us the guilt that Regan feels about happened and her struggle to come to terms with it. I really felt that she explained and handled it in a way that, while not necessarily making it right, does make it more understandable and makes me believe that Than and Regan could move past this bad beginning into a new future together. Than just might be my favorite Horseman. Yes, he’s capable of mass destruction but he is kind and protective and extremely loyal. Believing all his life that having sex will break his seal, he’s never been able to have a real relationship and has been pretty isolated except for his family. When Regan comes into his life, he has a chance for a family he’s always wanted and he’s not letting Regan and his son go. His bouts of rage were tempered with really tender moments and I just wanted to give him a big hug. I ended up liking Regan a lot more than I thought I was going to. After Immortal Rider she wasn’t my favorite person. But she shows a lot of remorse for what she did to Than and she won me over. She’s tough as nails and pretty badass for someone who is almost nine months pregnant. She and Than have crazy chemistry and the sex is super hot! I never thought I would say that about pregnancy sex but Larissa Ione can make almost anything sexy. Yay for Lethal Rider! This is definitely my favorite book of the series so far. Lots of action, demon bad guys, demon good guys, crazy angels, and super sexy times. Well paced and easy to follow, the storyline nicely wrapped up a lot of loose ends while setting up Reseph’s story. And I have no idea what’s going to happen in Reseph’s book. All I know is that I want to read it NOW. Fans of this series will not be disappointed. If you haven’t read this series yet, what are you waiting for? Get on it!*I received this book free of charge from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This, in no way, affected my opinion or review of this book.

      Lethal Rider
      4.5 Stars

      Best in the series so far as the Demonic Apocalypse plot reaches a climax and the romance finally lives up to its potential.

      Fast paced and action packed from the outset, Lethal Rider begins exactly where Immortal Rider left off with Thanatos bent on revenge and Regan guilt ridden but determined to protect herself and her child. Thankfully, their love-hate relationship is relatively angst free as they slowly come to forgive, trust and love one another.

      The politics and machinations of the Underworld and its denizens continue although this installment is not as violent or gruesome as the last, and Ione illustrates once again that morality is never black and white and so-called good people can commit heinous atrocities supposedly in the name of doing what is right.

      The only weak point involves the inclusion of the Daywalkers vs. Nightwalkers subplot, which is insufficiently developed and contributes little to the story or Thanatos's characterization.

      Finally, there are interesting developments in the Pestilence/Reseph storyline and some intriguing hints at things to come with Reaver and Harvester. Looking forward to what Ione has up her sleeve for the next installments.

      Absolutely loved the whole thing! By far my favorite of the series so far and I have a feeling that Reseph's book is going to keep blowing my mind.
      I really admire Ione's ability to create such a rich and diverse world and still deliver one book more amazing than the last.
      We get to know how Thanatos' story is going to start while still reading Immortal Rider, fact that gave the characters the chance to really develop some more in Lethal Rider. Than and Regan had some incredible things to work out in their relationship, which created some amazingly emotion filled scenes between the two of them and some of the other characters. I fell in love with them both, but the great thing about this book was that you don't exactly know how things are going to end until he very last couple of chapters. Incredible!

      Lethal Rider is the continuation of the Lord of Deliverance series from which one the Horseman of Apocalypse – Reseph’s seal was broken (or killed) and he became Pestilence and started the clockwork of apocalypse. Three of the Horseman – his brothers and sister- tried to find ways to stop him but after countless attempts, they had no choice but to find some ways to eliminate him before the entire population obliterate by incoming demonic forces. Two of the horseman, Ares (War) and Limos (Famine) survived the attempts to broke their seal while Thanatos (Death), based on a prophecy, assumed his virginity was his seal and for thousand of years he became a celibate to prevent himself from becoming Death. But of course, one Aegis agent (kinda slayer society) managed to get both of them drunk and under influenced and she actually take his virginity which pissed him off mightily since he thought his seal was broken (that he nearly killed the island’s population in a sonic wave blast) and so his siblings paralysed him by demonhound’s venom so that he won’t go kill anyone again.

      For 8 months he spent watching Jersey Shore and telemarketing until he could escape.

      At the start of this book, Regan was heavily pregnant with Than’s child and began having nightmares about her dying and him covered in blood next to her. Suddenly, she was attacked by a vampire and Than (newly prison break) came and saved her. Realizing he’s the father of her child, Regan had a bit misgivings about letting him protect her and her child (who they now realize was Than’s apocalypse seal) especially with his caveman ways and short fuse to damned destruction (well, he is Death, duh).

      Initially I had troubled with Than’s tendencies to overreact (boy, for an old old old guy, he did have them by buckloads) and the storyline kinda go to the same ways as cheap romance novels that was my guilty pleasure after depressing novels. Well, its the whole “fall in love after being pregnant and insecure tortured guy” thing. Frankly, for a story about impending apocalypse, the author doesn’t practice frugality in killing every several characters in every pages in spine breaking, blood gushing and multitude of beheading with dramatic arterial spattering.

      Well, I had keen appreciation for paranormal horror stories so if you like a bit Dexter and the sexy part of True Blood, I’m sure that you will enjoy this book.

      Since the previous book had build up to this one book, its best to say that I had faith that Larissa Ione won’t disappoint me in the next one. Well, you did get the whole idea that the world was already at the verge of collapse from all the destruction but to completely turn the antagonist in a way like it was mindblowing and very intriguing. I am so happy that the next book will be out at the end of the year so I will elaborate more about the series once I’ve reached the ending.

      Final words, about the book, the cover is absolutely gorgeous. So is the next one too… *bite fingernails*

      1 person found this helpful

    • 4/5

      As the distasteful circumstances of their first disastrous coupling (a comedy of roofies, misinformation, and miscommunication) is safely in the past tense, we get to enjoy Thanatos and Regan cautiously dealing with their soon to be born child and fledgling connection. "Fragile" is a good word for both of these emotionally abused warriors, and the back an forth dance of low self esteem is my least favorite part of the book. Thanatos's inner monologue cracks me up, and his cave man ferocity for Regan and his child conjures up some of my favorite aspects of The Black Dagger Brotherhood.

      All of Ione's books are frenetic with violence, politics, and passion. Though the themes driving Thanatos and Regan are fairly cliche (stuck together for the sake of the baby, etc.), this did not detract from my enjoyment of their story. I grew impatient with their low self esteem and continued ccle of misunderstanding, but Ione ironed that out quickly enough that I didn't lose interest. I have a spotting reading history with these books, which gave me enough background to enjoy the apocalypse raging around the love birds, but I think a completely new reader would be lost. Ione's books generate strong emotions, which helps differentiate the seriously-evil-cheer-when-they-die bad guys (like the racist Aegi) from the hidden-depths-maybe-retrievable bad guys (no spoilers here), or even the still-kill-a-lot-of-people-but-not-so-bad good guys (like Thanatos.)

      Read on March 10, 2013Read for Fun (Paperback)Overall Rating: 4.75Story Rating: 4.50Character Rating: 5.00I will be doing this in love letter form since I read Books 1 to 4 back to back “For the next eight and a half months, you're going to be mine. Every. Night.” ― Larissa Ione, Lethal Rider My Love Letter to Thanatos/Death and ReganDear Thanatos: You are my favorite horseman! Don't tell the others please as I really don't want their wrath to come down on me. You are so very alpha, so very stubborn, and so very awesome. Regan is a lucky gal to have you but I think you are pretty lucky to have her too. Your love story made me swoon!Dear Regan: You are a kick ass chick and will be a wonderful mothers. I loved that you were willing to make hard decisions, apologize when necessary, and hold your ground when it came down to it. The fact that you listened to your instincts and let love rule pretty much made me want to be your Best Friend.Dear Story: You were almost perfect. You gave me love, action, suspense, and made me cry. I wasn't aware of how invested I was in Than and Regan until the end when I was biting my nails. You fulfilled your duty of making me a happy reader.You also made me giggle... “So ask me again why I’ll win a battle of wills.” “Fine.” She jammed her feet under the covers. “Why?” “Because I’m immortal and you’re a mere human. I have an eternity to out-stubborn you.” ― Larissa Ione, Lethal Rider

It was so worth the wait. What a fantastic read. Ms. Ione pulls you into her world and wraps you into her cocoon, bringing suspense, action, and a lustful read right to your fingertips. Literally. This book was truly a humorous read and at times, had me laughing out loud. There were also times that I was arguing (outloud!) with different things going on. I won’t give any spoilers to it, in order to protect those that want to read it – and you totally should! Thanatos was such a swoon-worthy male in this piece and I have to say he had captured my heart from the very first moment Ms. Ione introduced him. This piece just solidified that adoration. Regan is the perfect fit for him, once again proving that Ms. Ione surely knows her characters. It was a fast read even though it was some 300 and something pages long. I just couldn’t put it down. The except for Rogue Rider at the end also made the entire read that much better. If you haven’t picked up the book I would run, not walk, to the nearest store and do so NOW!Five out of five stars for a fabulous adventure.
