Lethal Rider by Larissa Ione

Review of Lethal Rider by Larissa Ione

Published: June 1, 2012

5 out of 5 smirks

Synopsis: "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, Regan Cooper, 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 THIS BOOK!  Lethal Rider by Larissa Ione is a magnificent continuation of the Four Horsemen story.  I was drawn in by Thanatos and Regan's ongoing love-hate relationship them seem to have developed between one another.  Their wit and sense of humor are two of the most important draws these characters have.  I know readers everywhere will be enamored with Than, Regan, and their progression of a relationship.  What was the most fascinating aspect of this story for me was how both Than and Regan instinctively know how the other is feeling and how they both seem to know how the other feels like they have never belonged.  I also loved how Than, who is this fierce warrior, wants to just be in love and have romance with Regan but ultimately struggles to fight his past nature with the one he wants for the future.  This installment of the Four Horsemen series is the perfect combination of romance, adventure, war, mystery, and discovery.  I find myself categorizing this installment as my favorite one thus far because Than and Regan are more relatable to me than any of the other characters. Their view of the world before meeting one another is twisted and snared, but becomes clearer when they are together.  I give 5 smirks to Lethal Rider by Larissa Ione because the characters are addicting, the story fresh/mysterious, and I can't wait to read the next one in this continued story.

Immortal Rider by Larissa Ione

Review of Immortal Rider by Larissa Ione

Published: November 22, 2011

5 out of 5 smirks

Synopsis: "The signs are everywhere...disastrous world events. Evil rising up, unleashed upon the innocent. The prophecies were there...but no one listened. Until now. The time has come for those who can either usher in Doomsday...or prevent it. They are here. They ride. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Arik Wagner, a soldier with the U.S. Army's paranormal unit, the R-XR, kissed a girl and liked it. And then he went to hell as punishment. Where he's spent weeks being tortured...and plotting revenge.

Limos, Horsewoman of the Apocalypse, isn't your average girl. She's immortal, dangerous, and her fiancé is Satan himself. In a moment of weakness, she gave in to her desire and kissed Arik, triggering her fiancé's wrath - and his claim on her. In order to save Arik, and the world, Limos must make a dangerous pact with her recently turned evil brother, Pestilence. A deal that might just cost her soul...and her heart."

Immortal Rider by Larissa Ione is a continuation of the Lords of Deliverance Series.  Immortal Rider is the second book of this series and it does not disappoint.   Immortal Rider tells Limos' and Ariks' story about finding each other through the gates of Hell and finally being able to share the one thing with each other they have kept from everyone else; truth.  Limos and Arik are two characters with banter, sense of humor, and honor that will have readers turning the pages for more.  I give Immortal Rider by Larissa Ione 5 smirks because the story kept me on the edge of my seat, the characters continued to surprise me, and I'm a sucker for any story involving The Apocalypse and true love.
