Wow. The chemistry between Cara and Ares was almost as amazing as the one between Sin and Con. I really don't think Pestilence can be redeemed and I can't wait to read Arik and Limos's HEA. I really enjoyed this book and intend to read everyone in this series.

Oh my gosh this book was absolutely amazing. I loved it. It was so original and brilliantly written. I would recommend this to anyone who loves fantasy or romance. It was incredibly creative.

This book suffers a little from the 1st book to a series syndrome. It did lag a little as Ione built the world around it. It helped if you'd read her Demonica series since the characters make an appearance in Eternal Rider. Over all i liked the book and can't wait to read the next book

AMAZING book. Ares, the horseman who is war, is deliciously dominating. Cara, the human who becomes Ares' seal, is definitely a heroine worth rooting for. The twists are awesome, and I can't wait to read about the other horsemen. really loving Larissa as an author.

Larissa Ione is a solid writer and a great world builder. I loved the twist on the Four Horseman idea.
But, and damn, this is a giant but, I hated how her immortal characters spoke and acted.
Hearing 5,000 year old immortals declare "Duh" on numerous occasions derailed my reading directly into the abyss. I expected one immortal to snap her gum. Instead she slapped her flip flops against the stone floor numerous times.
The cliche heroine, she frail but feisty, brave but tragic, held far more interest. To my recollection she never said "duh" in response to a question or statement.
The author makes a huge point of describing how the immortals live in remote locations surrounded by vampires or demons as servants. Unless they watch lots of TV, why do they speak like jaded kids?
I don't get it.
And when one immortal kept declaring "Jesus", I wondered again why would a 5,000 year old immortal invoke Jesus, especially since the character had once been a Greek god!
The dreadful dialog and certain "try to humanize the immortals" characteristics ruined the story for me. Hey, whee, the immortals like to toss around a football in the house! Fratboys or immortals? Yeah.
This book is the first in a series. Not interested in reading any further.

4.5 stars. Another fun read in the Demonica series. While there are some steamy scenes there is a ton of world development and exciting action - I'm always on the edge of my seat for these novels wondering how on earth it will end. War/Aries was a (duh) warrior and I really liked Cara as well. The only thing that irritated me about her was
