Rogue Rider (Lords of Deliverance #4)

by Larissa Ione (Goodreads Author)

The prophecies were there but no one listened. Until now. They are the Lords of Deliverance and they have the power to ward off Doomsday . . . or let it ride.

Jillian Cardiff came to this remote mountain town to forget the demon attack that almost killed her. Instead, she rescues - and falls for - a gorgeous stranger who has no memory of anything other than his name. Handsome, charming and protective, Reseph seems like the kind of man that Jillian can trust. But with hints of a troubling history of his own, he's also the kind of man that can be very dangerous . . .

Reseph may not know his background, or why he mysteriously appeared in Jillian's life, but he knows he wants to stay. Yet when Jillian's neighbours are killed and demon hunters arrive on the scene, Reseph fears that he's putting Jillian in danger. And once it's revealed that Reseph is also Pestilence, the Horseman responsible for ravaging the world with death and destruction, he and Jillian must face the greatest challenge of all: can they forget the horrors of a chilling past to save the future they both desire?

Hello visitors! Today I opted for a typed out review, rather than the sometimes vlog review! ;) I have nothing but awesome stuff to say about this book and so I didn't want to completely geek out over it in a vlog review! LOL! :P So, here I am again- Larissa Ione! *sigh* She's definitely on my top 5 list of favorite authors- she seriously is awesome! And Erin Bennett reads this one (as she did the other LoD books- 4 so far) and does a great job! Her familiar voice brought back the other 3 books with a seriousness that felt nostalgic and fantastic! I've read all of Ione's other Lords of Deliverance books as well as all of her Demonica series (which wasn't ever reviewed on this audiobook blog because I had listened to them all before I started this blog *sniffles*); which were outstanding as well! So with this 4th book in the LoD series, we are thrust into Reseph's world, and his mate; Jillian is along for the ride. Jillian is perfectly human but not completely ignorant to "demons". Now, we've been hearing about Reseph since book 1, and by, I think, book 2 we know that his 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse seal has broken (it's got a fancy name, but I don't know how to spell it because I don't read the books, I only listen to them and I don't want to 1) slaughter the spelling or 2) do much investigating at the moment lol) and he's basically "chanelling" Pestilence (which is baaaaad, mkay!). So that wasn't really a spoiler, just so you know! We've known that his seal's been broken through most of the book series and everyone's been pretty much fighting against him. Well in this book, after a series of motions in the very end of the last book, we are shown who Reseph really is. We "get to know" him as Reseph, rather than who we've been shown in the other books- Pestilence. And of course, we are reunited with his brothers and sister as well, the other horsemen and know all about them because all the other books were about their story in regards to finding their mate as well as fighting Pestilence. 

I really love how this book started out as well, and love the way that we get to find out and really meet his mate Jillian. She is a fantastic heroine and just an overall great character full of so much hope. A lot of the other books I've read lately are all SEX SEX SEX (little bit of storyline/plot) SEX SEX, and while that is welcomed and fun at times, it's really good to get back to a solid storyline, great plot that is familiar and feels so comfortable and is extremely well thought out and filled with tons and tons of lore that we've learned about over the course of the 4 books (even longer if you've read any of her Demonica series). This series is spectacular and I just absolutely love it. I have not visited Ione's website to read if the series is over (there ARE only 4 Horsemen, so....) or what it's going to do, but I'm completely jonesing for a series, or even just ONE book on Reever and Harvester (two angels/watchers) which I'm assuming will be up in coming since there was a serious cliffhanger at the end of this one! LOL! Anyway... for anyone interested in the paranormal/demon type books with just enough intimacy to keep you sated, please give these books a try! Ione is phenomenal! :)

If I could give it more, I would! A seriously solid:

...and because a good friend recommended this naughty little series, I'm giving the below book a listen right now!

Lethal Rider (Lords of Deliverance #3)

They're here. They ride. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Born of a match between good and evil, four siblings stand between hell's minions and everything they want to destroy. They are the Lords of Deliverance, and they have the power to ward off Doomsday...or let it ride...

LETHAL RIDER

Thanatos, the most deadly Horseman of the Apocalypse, has endured thousands of years of celibacy to prevent the end of days. But just one night with the wickedly sexy Aegis Guardian, Regan Cooper, shatters centuries of resolve. Yet their passion comes with a price. And Thanatos must face a truth more terrifying than an apocalypse-he's about to become a father.

Demon-slayer Regan Cooper never imagined herself the maternal type, but with the fate of the world hanging in the balance she had no choice but to seduce Thanatos and bear his child. Now, as the final battle draws closer and his rage at being betrayed is overshadowed by an undeniable passion for the mother of his child, Thanatos has a life-shattering realization: To save the world, he must sacrifice the only thing he's ever wanted-a family.

Hello! So last night I finished the third book in an amazing series about the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse. It was quite the jam packed read! Sooo much went on in this book that it was a whirlwind ride to keep up. Now, I've read the other 2 books in this series, Eternal Rider and Immortal Rider, each one about different horsemen (well Immortal Rider was about Limos, the only female in the foursome) and their struggles with their part in regards to the Apocalypse. This 3rd book was great though! Sadly, it wasn't read by the narrator that read the other two books, who is a real favorite of mine (Hilary Huber), it was read by a female named Erin Bennett, whom I have not heard before. She started to sound like the character Pam from True Blood, LMBO! Anyway, she did a fine job reading the book and quite honestly the writing of Ione is just fantastic, so anyone could have read it and made it sound great! I've listened to Ione's whole Demonica series as well quite a while back and LOVED it, and the 4 Horsemen were mentioned briefly in that series- so when I heard that she was releasing the books about the 4 Horsemen, I knew I would love them because of her style and mention of previous characters. I LOVE that about books in a series- did you know that about me? LOL! I just love series! I very rarely will read just ONE book based on whatever... I also cling to a series of books, the more involved, the better!

But, this book had it's interesting points... for one the main fmale character Regan was 8+ months pregnant when we start the book AND has OCD issues. That in itself was interesting because I can't imaging doing half the shit that Regan did while 8 months pregnant. Now... YES, I've been pregnant two times and have two lovely daughters, and I guess it's just a topic that doesn't really sit right with me when I'm reading about apocalyptic topics, magic, fangs, paranormal etc! And let's not remember how put off I was during the 3rd 50 Shades book when the characters were getting all bdsm'd out while she was pregnant. It's just not a topic I really want to "read", "relax", "escape" to... you know what I mean. There's nothing 'sexy' about pregnancy and to be quite honest, the sex they had in this book while she was literally less than 10 days from giving birth was a little far fetched. I guess some women are into that thing while 9 months pregnant, but me... yeah, not so much. Everything ached and hurt, I couldn't sleep... oh, the list goes on and on... but I digress, the whole pregnancy thing aside, this book was VERY involved. The plot was extremely thick and had amazing up's and down's and the twist at the end (although she slowly led up to it, so it was like a no-brainer) as quite interesting! I really enjoyed it. And it will be a total pleasure when she releases the last book in the series. I think she saved the best for last! ;) So in conclusion, I would highly suggest this book to anyone who loves a good action and story & a little bit of sexy sexy time! I would also highly suggest her Demonica series as well! Fantastic series!!!

I give Lethal Rider: ★★★★★ = Loved it!



And I just started this last night- I'm back into the Nightwalker books and can't wait to finish them!
