I can honestly count on one hand’s finger how many author have that incredible talent. Every single book I read by Larissa Ione feels so effortless and is absolutely impossible to stop reading for a second!

Lethal Rider is the story of Thanatos, the Horseman of the Apocalypse also known as Death. Than’s road to happiness started back in Immortal Rider, but we get the whole of it in Lethal Rider and what an amazing ride it is.

Than is damaged, to say the least, and after 5 thousand years of life, a terrible curse, uncountable deaths and losing a brother to Evil, Happiness is the furthest thing from his mind and heart, regardless of how much he might desire it.

Regan is a Guardian/Warrior of the Aegi, the human organization that hunts demons. Ever since the dominos have started fallen and the Apocalypse has become more imminent, the Aegi has been changing its ways, allying with Demons and Vampires with like minds and trying to find a way to save the World.

When Regan follows an order from the Aegi in accordance with a prophecy, her fate interconnects with Thanatos’ and both their lives will never be the same. Regan is just as damaged as Than, she just has had a shorter life span. Born from an Aegi Guardian Mother’s coupling with her Guardian Husband while possessed by a Demon, Regan has incredible powers that the Aegi fear and therefore treat her like a freak.

Feeling unwanted from birth, Regan has only the Aegi to call her own, but when her fate joins Thanatos’, life as she knew it will never be the same and it is time for her to create her own destiny.

One of the most incredible things about Larissa Ione’s novels is that they are never just about the Happily Ever After of a couple. We have so much going on and so much fast-paced action that it is impossible not to be enthralled by the stories Larissa weaves. Not to mention her talent in making the Demonica and the Lords of Deliverance series almost one and the same by giving
us glimpses of our favorite Demonica characters! All I can say to that is: YAY!

Lethal Rider is the perfect addition to the amazing Lords of Deliverance series. If you have yet to
read this series or author, get off your butt and so right now! If you are a fan like me, you will absolutely LOVE Lethal Rider!

I like this book a lot. I haven't read the other two books in this series, but I have read Larissa's books that are set in this same world. I think it the Demonica series. Those were all really good. I got this title through NetGalley and I am glad that I did. I loved Than. It very rare that you find a man or being as virile as he is innocent in the sex department. That alone endeared him to me and the fact that you could tell that he loved Regan even when he claimed to want to kill her. I will ...more
