From the back of the book:
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, ReganCooper,
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.
My take on it all :-)
Thanatos
is hell bent on revenge. He can't believe what Regan has done to him
nor why. The Aegis convinced Regan to betray Than, but when faced
with the consequences for her actions she learns the Aegis' motives
are not true to her beliefs.
The
race is on to save the world, but who is right? Will Thanatos' seal
be broken and will he join his brother Pestilence in bringing on the
Apocalypse? Or can he be saved?

Lethal
Rider is one of those books that
had me so caught up in the action and characters that I completely
lost track of time. Larissa Ione's writing has me so deeply involved
in these characters that I feel as if I know them...some may find
that silly, but any reader can tell you that if an author draws you
that strongly into not just the story, but the entire series, the
author is doing something right!
I
loved Than and Regan
together. They definitely started off wrong, but there was so much
right about them. The sparks flew between them and the passion
sizzled once they began to see each other as more than the enemy.
Parts
of Lethal Rider tore
me up emotionally. I don't cry easy, but Ms. Ione succeeded in
bringing me to tears. First when Than finally accepted that Reseph
was truly gone and again when Regan went into labor. Than was forced
to take actions that would tear him up—and me as the reader, I
cried my eyes out for all that he was compelled to do for all of the
right reasons. Of course you're going to have to pick up the book
yourself to find out what those actions are—and the results!
I
also loved that Ms. Ione brought in the characters from Underworld
General. I enjoyed seeing my favorite reoccurring characters in the
Demonica world. And she left me chanting: “Reseph. Reseph. Reseph!”
as I canNOT wait for the story of his redemption!
Rating: 5 out of 5!
