Halloween Treats Part 2!
Back with some Halloween treaties for you all. I'm going to continue the Lords of Deliverance Series in this post, but please, if you have any requests just leave me a comment and I'll get around to reviewing. And if they're Halloween-y then, I better pull me socks up!
Okay, so where were we?
3# - Lethal Rider
![]() |
UK cover |
And he is lethal indeed!
Rating: M - mature themes, sexually explicit, questionably moral interactions and violence.
Post Feels: ALLL THE BABIES!
Blurb:
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.

Okay, so I can't really spoil the last book for you... but the blurb kinda does that for you unfortunately. We have Thanatos, aka Death, who is somewhat of a sweetie wrapped in a delicious layer of tattoos which he uses to summon death spirits - or they are the spirits (I was never too sure). After some seriously questionable activity from baby mama Regan Cooper, which may or may not break his seal, Thanatos looses his virginity and now, he's going to be a father. Impending Apocalypse and imminent responsibilities are about to hit Thanatos in the gut. Scary stuff right?
So, we pick up with 8 months after the previous books events and Regan is very much pregnant...and Thanatos is frozen in hell. Lovely. Regan fears over both her life and the baby's due to some devious machinations that have placed Thanatos there (not that she know that!). And rightly so, Thanatos escaped and finds out about all the baby duties to come. However, Thanatos has luckily always wanted a family but has never been able to, since he feared his virginity was his agimortus. Yay, sex all around! However, now they have learnt that the baby is his agimortus and the weapon to destroy the Horseman's dastardly brother, Pestilence.
The interaction between Thanatos and Regan is actually rather sweet and you get some major bump-hand action which is always welcome in romance novels. Regan however is uncertain in keeping the child. Her background isn't the happiest one and she's determined that she will be a terrible mother. That decision to give a child away, even in this realm of fiction, is always a hard thing to write about and I can honestly say there where times when I actually got upset about the possibility. There's major character development here which is always a pleasant thing to see.
Thanatos and Regan's relationship is actually probably my favorite out of the series. Its definitely one that both the characters have to develop through and come to terms with. Plus, with the added pressure of parenthood on the horizon it gives a really interesting dynamic to the couple's relationship.
I don't want to give too much away with this one. SOOO many things happen in this book that it's hard to write about it without giving too much away. But, overall, Lethal Rider is jam-packed full of great action scenes, the occasional love scene and tonnes of pre-apocalyptic fun that its definitely not to be missed!
4# - Rogue Rider

I wonder which Horsemen this is about...?
Rating: M - traumatic scenes, violence, sexually explicit and major hot guy alert. *Caution: rippling chest muscle*
Post Feels: WHYYYYY?
Blurb:
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. She rescues a gorgeous stranger who has no
memory of anything other than his name.
Technically this is the last of the Horsemen's stories, however there are an extra two Lords of Deliverance novels (which I have yet to read) that focus on their Watchers. I shall be reading them soon, but I can't really comment on them right now. So anyway, back to Reseph/Pestilence.
This is a toughie to review because its the last in the series and you can't give away the plot! So I'm going to make it brief, but trust me, you need to read it just for the ending! Heaven above. That left me wanting more so much that it hurt.
Okay, so we have Jillian Cardiff, a self proclaimed loner after a horrible demon attack in a car park one night. Jillian wears the scars of her attack both physically and emotionally. Now, she lives in the middle of nowhere, relying on little to survive except her gun and Chevy. Jillian doesn't tend to trust people, apart from her best friend, and so, when a random naked NAKED!!! man turns up, face down in the snow outside her cabin, Jillian is forced to confront the world again.
Annnnnnd, that's all I'm giving you.
Trust me, you'll thank me later! Overall, this book gives a great partial send off to a great series. It's full of all the great puns, witty characters and full on action that Ione always delivers. That, as well as some amazing chemistry between the two main characters. Definitely worth a read over the wintry season!
READ THEM ALLLLLLL! :D
