Lethal Rider by Larissa Ione

5.0

This was a very controversial book because of the events in Immortal Rider and I am sure every fan couldn´t wait to see how Larissa redeems Regan. And she has!

Lethal Rider starts 8 months after the events in IR. Regan is highly pregnant and being kept safe in the Aegis to deliver the baby that could save or doom the world. Inbetween Thanatos has spent the past eight months being held captive by Ares and Limos in some kind of stasis, trapped in his own body by hellhound saliva because his rage would destroy everything and everybody around him. The only thing he could think about is revenge.

When he finally manages to escape, he goes after the woman who betrayed him the worst possible way, just to find out she is pregnant with his baby. He kidnaps her and plans to keep her captive until the baby is born and than make her pay. But his plans quickly change because he realizes that he can finally have what he always desired most - a family. There is no way he would let Regan give his baby away. But when somebody tries to kill her and the baby in his house, he discovers a shocking truth - that somebody in his closest circle is determined to hurt him where it hurts the most.

Regan spent the last months with heavy guilt for what she had done. In this book we get to see how vulnerable she really is. She knows how much she hurt Thanatos even though she was also drugged and really didn´t realize what she was doing. Both Regan and Thanatos have to go through a hard journey to trust each other.

But it was not the dramatic relationship between Regan and Thanatos that kept me on the edge. It was what was happening around them. Now that the baby´s birth is coming closer, Pestilence is doing anything possible to kill it and break his brother´s seal. And OMG, he does some incredibly terrible things!! In the end every last piece of Reseph is gone forever and Thanatos looses his last chance to save his brother. After what Pestilence has done, there is only one way - to kill him.

The events in this book were shocking and I hadn´t seen them coming. The Aegis is radically splitting and being destroyed from the inside as well as outside, Regan and Kynan are being betrayed by their own colleagues and friends, the conflicts between the angels turn an unexpected way when the true enemies are revealed and a new Apocalypse prophecy arises from Heaven. And one angel has to make a sacrifice that will put him on the hitlist of both Heaven and Hell. Yes, Reaver is the one who discovers a secret so big that it might cost him his life.

I can not wait to read Reseph´s book!! After everything that he has done and how Lethal Rider ended, I am excited to see how Ms Ione wraps everything up :-)
