Larissa is an amazing author and as with all of her other books this is a captivating read with deep development of characters, world building and developing plots. This is not the first or the last book I have read by this author and I reccomend her to fellow readers.

There was a lot more subplots in this one making me very interested in Than's story. I do wish that Li and Arik had gotten more action. Love the story nonetheless. :)

Immortal Rider by Larissa Ione is part of the Lords of Deliverance/Demonica series. I enjoyed the Demonica series, so when I saw there was a spin-off, I knew I had to read it. This second book is about Limos, a.k.a. Famine, one of the four Horsemen (Horsewoman?). I enjoyed her story thoroughly.

There was a lot going on in this book, especially buildup for the next book in the series. I loved the characters and am looking for the next installment. I would recommend this book for anyone who likes a little steaminess with their stories.

When he is sent to Hell for stealing a kiss from Limos, an immortal beauty who is engaged to Satan, Arik Wagner uses all of his military training to survive demon torture and prove to Limos that they belong together. Easier said than done.

First sentence: "Arik Wagner had to hand it to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse; they threw one hell of a party."

This is the first book I have read in this series, and I expected to be confused as all get out given all the various players, but Larissa Ione did an excellent job of working the backstories in without taking away from the current one. I'm now madly in love with the Horsemen (and woman) and look forward to going back and reading all the books in this series.

This book definitely brought the heat, and although there was violence and gore, it was balanced out with humor and emotionally charged scenes. The plot was engaging and the various settings were described very well. The characters were well written and the writing kept me on the edge of my seat, promising myself just one more page over and over and over until the end.

All in all, I enjoyed this book very much, and heartily recommend it to others.

5/5 stars.

*** I would like to thank Grand Central Publishing and Larissa Ione for the opportunity to read and review this book.

A brand of Paranormal Romance that is becoming more and more common, IMMORTAL RIDER melds over the top violence and lust to create a supernatural telanovela that teeters on the edge of apocalypse. Though this was my first book in this series, I've read a few of Larissa Ione's prior books in this world, so I wasn't completely confused by the names and supporting stories that flew by.

Though not a unique feel, I think IMMORTAL RIDER managed to tread the line that many recent PNR's have failed: dark without becoming offensive. There's plenty of drama and human frailty in IMMORTAL RIDER, but Ione never pushes things so far as to become a turn off. Even better, her darker characters hover between genuinely evil and redeemable... and that second guessing game opens up a whole new horizon for sequels.

I did get frustrated by Thanatos and Regan's subplot. I'm not a fan of the "if only they'd talked to each other" device, and though Arik and Limos definitely have hints of that in their story, they managed not to blow things too far out of proportion. Regan herself pointed out the "secret baby" plot device for their situation, and I'm on pins and needles to see if Ione can pull off a variation of such a classic device without falling prey to the classic blunders that go along with it.
