dark
tense
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated

Sigh..such a great book. The apocalypse story keeps getting more intense, and Thanatos was just yummy as the Horseman of Death.

Aw, I really loved this romance . Thanatos is definitely my favorite horseman and makes book boyfriend material.
I thought there was a nice balance between romance and story here. It wasn't as overwhelmingly dark as I felt like the last book was which I appreciated.
Looking forward to the next book.

despite the ickiness of how it started out in the last book which is why it lost 1 starI thought there was a nice balance between romance and story here. It wasn't as overwhelmingly dark as I felt like the last book was which I appreciated.
Looking forward to the next book.

Third book in the Lords of Deliverance series, this was my favorite. As a follow up series to Demonica series, I don't like this series as well as its precursor, but it's growing on me. The unborn child in this book added a surprising depth to the very recent virgin male lead. As one of the four horsemen of the demonic apocalypse, he must fight death, his brothers, and his romantic interest to protect his seal and save the world.

OMG!! I couldn't put it down until the very end...then I didn't want to put it down since that would mean it was over :( totally an awesome story full of tension, angst, humor, tragedy, and a wonderful cliffhanger...can't wait for Rouge Rider!

Seeing Than get his happy ending is just amazing. I loved him as a character from the moment he was introduced as one of the horsemen, so it was just lovely to see him get good things. I loved every second of this book. Even when I was worried for the main characters. It was wonderful.

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!

This was OK. As a third in what may be a quartet. Some info was dragged out so it can be revisited in the next one. Some storylines where very stunted.
Also I am entirely unopposed to a book worshiping pregnant women, but it got a little creepy. She was no longer a woman, just a vessel for the babe. Kinda creepy.
Overall, this one read like a placeholder for the last one.
Here's hoping it pans out.
