Lethal Rider by Larissa Ione

4.0

 This is Thanatos and Regan’s story it begins a few months after the events of the previous book, When we left things Death was losing control managing to take many innocent lives in the process. Since then he’s been on a forced time-out courtesy of his siblings whilst Reagan has been sequestered away at Aegis headquarters percolating their little pony. When Thanatos managed to give his family the slip he goes after the female he now hates for her former betrayal imagine his surprise when he finds her heavily pregnant and weeks from giving birth to his son.

Thanatos is obviously confused about what to feel towards the slayer who previously betrayed him he’s a fury of turbulent emotions violently swinging from wanting to punish Regan but also then wanting to protect her, he’s so conflicted. All he’s ever wanted was a family and here's Regan all set to just hand over his son for others to raise no discussion merited. well, not on his watch he’s now determined to claim his child and raise them himself.

Elsewhere Pestilence’s behaviour is escalating and his actions prove so atrocious it’s obvious to all he cannot be saved not if they want to protect and shield their loved ones from his evil.

Regan and Thanatos relationship is definitely complicated they have a lot of unresolved hurt and pain to deal with. Thanatos also needs to forgive Regan for her past deceptions this is all whilst dealing with constant threats to her and his son's life by enemies some known like his brother but also those hidden and much closer to home.

There were shocks and twists and this one was a packed one it was a very easy read with some excellent writing. This reread is reminding me just why I rated this series so highly in the first place. Finally, we again have plenty of breadcrumbs dropped for future books and lots of familiar faces that I also loved catching up with.
