Excellent addition to this series. Loved Revenant and loved the ending.
So it's time to say goodbye to the Lords of Deliverance and Revenant is a fitting end. It's not my favourite of the series, I really don't think anything will beat Reaver but I did enjoy it.
I think the main problem with waiting a year between books is that I tend to build it up in my head and try and figure out what way it will go. This inevitably leads to disappointment but I can't stop myself from doing it. It didn't go the way I would have liked but I'm pleased with how it was all wrapped up.
Larrisa Ione does tease us with a little epilogue and what the future holds for this universe on her website that is worth checking out.
This series is not perfect, I actually have some pretty strong dislikes about a few things throughout, my biggest being the inevitable relationship issues, douche head behaviour and inability to listen of the characters I loved in previous books in the most recent one. In this case Reaver. I love Reaver. I knew he was going to be an asshat at some stage in this as that's what always happens but it annoyed me. It annoyed me because it's become like a formula but also because, well I love Reaver. I also love Than and he was a bit of a dick as well, he did have more reason though so I suppose I'll overlook that.
Anyway, these books, flaws and all are among my favourites. I love the world and the mishmash of demons and religion. It always makes for interesting reading and I really, really, really hope that it's not the last of this world.
Oh and I also now love Revenant (yay for brothers) and even though I posted this in my updates, I think it is worth putting in the review. This is what he looks like in my head:
Revenant doesn't have a beard in the book but 99% of the time my brain gives hot alpha males beards. It's a thing.
Another amazing story by Larissa Ione! Revenant is Rawr! I'm still not a fan of Blas.. haven't been but it was nice to get more back story on Rev and Reaver and still see all the other characters! sorry I had to stop reading when dad got sick. just picked it back up tonight and finished it! glad I did! cannot wait for more! I may have to go check out her site added at the end of the book!
Again.. loved it! I Love Rev! And I've always loved Reaver.. but damn he was an a$$ in this book! (Until the end)

Revenant is reeling from having his memory restored after thousands of years. He goes from being all alone, causing havoc in hell, where he grew up and now lives, to having a family, a twin brother and a history that includes him being an angel, and not with the “fallen” before the title. His twin brother Reaver and he don’t exactly get along, there’s a ton of bad blood and misconceptions between them so while Revenant is now living with the full impact of his entire history, he’s still seen as the enemy by his family. He comes off as a snarky, sarcastic asshole but the rejection he’s still getting from Reaver, Heaven and the Horsemen cuts him deeper than he lets on. And then he meets Blaspheme and wants her. In bed. Against a wall. Doesn’t matter, he wants this female and sets out to get her.
Blas is hiding her own huge secret. She’s believed to be a false angel, but really she’s one of the most hunted people by both heaven and hell. The daughter of an angel and fallen angel, her kind is killed, no questions asked. She’s been living under a masking spell for years but it’s wearing off and she doesn’t know what do to. It’s during this time she meets Revenant and doesn’t give him the time of day at first, but he’s a pest and keeps showing up making it impossible for her to ignore him. Once she starts to learn more about Revenant, what’s he’s been through and what he’s currently going through, she starts to open her heart to him because fighting it was getting her nowhere.
This book confused me. Not in the story sense, I always love getting back into the Demonica world and seeing past characters come back to life on page. Story wise with the fight between heaven and hell and Revenant being right smack dab in the middle of it was interesting and the final battle is bloody, and an ultimate fight to end the threat to everyone we’ve come to know and love over the course of this series. Revenant, this guy had me cracking up. Some of the things he said and did, he’s ruthless but really only because he doesn’t trust easy and he’s never had anyone for thousands and thousands of years actually care about him. Blas does, she cares and she worries and it knocks Revenant for a loop and I liked seeing some good come into Revenant’s life. He starts and ends the book with snippy sarcasm, which I got a kick out of, but he’s actually living by books end, even though the final battle with Satan takes him right to edge and even over it.
Where I was a little let down was with Blas. I can’t put my finger on what it was about her that I didn’t connect with, but there was just something missing. I didn’t fall in love with her like I have other heroines in this series and I often found myself frustrated by either her actions or the things she’d say, especially to Revenant. Their relationship was good, but it felt almost like they fell into it. I needed more relationship between them and that might be where my disconnect with Blas came in.
While Revenant had both hit and misses for me, I would recommend this book if for no other reason than to get to know Revenant. His life has been miserably hard and seeing him start to have some good come into it was a fun, satisfying journey. I especially loved the scenes between Revenant and Reaver – brothers who needed to work through a lot to get to a better place. I’m not sure if this is a stand out in the series for me, but Ione always brings the humor which I enjoy and if you love a snarky tortured hero, look no further than Revenant.

Eventually also this series came to an end, and as a matter of fact even if I read the all, I was totally happy because right now I'm so bored by angels, demons and vampires and shifters etc, that I cannot take any more of them. It`s surely my fault but it seems that I have to shift to urban fantasy to read something worthy because paranormal romance has written already everything it has to be written.
E alla fine anche questa serie é arrivata alla fine e la cosa mi riempie di gioia infinita perché proprio non ne posso piú di angeli, demoni e mutaforma e vampiri etc. Sicuramente é colpa mia, ma è chiaro che é ora per me di passare all'urban fantasy perché il paranormal romance ha giá detto tutto quello che poteva dire.

Hmm this was interesting. I wasn't expecting half the stuff in this book which makes it kinda awesome.
I love this series!
I'm sad to see this series end but the story had a satisfying end and was nicely wrapped up. I love Larissa Ione's writing, the characters and story she brings to life. This story had me hooked but I wish there would have been more of a connection between Rev and Blas, it seemed more like the rush of a new relationship. Not a strong and deep love that we got with some of the other book couples. I was a little disappointed that Blas didn't have a bigger role in saving herself or being part of the action.
This book was pretty emotional though, especially for Rev and I think this is why I got hooked so quickly. I was invested in these characters and wanted something good for Rev after all the shit he had been through.

Revenant & Blaspheme
I love love love Revenant! I liked him from the first appearance in the series and I couldn't wait to read his story! I knew it will be a big twist about him and finding out he is Reaver's brother was just amazing! I was a little annoyed by the fact that every time Reaver did something bad he would get his memory wiped too, didn't really like it for Revenant since I like him more than Reaver.
I really loved everything about this book, the action, the characters, and each decision they made, I was glued to the book couldn't let it go until I finished it!
I didn't really enjoy the first books of the series but it was really worth it in the end, I am happy I didn't stop reading them.
