Fantasy. Fiction. Romance. HTML: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 . . . Rogue Rider 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 whom Jillian can trust. But with hints of a troubling history of his own, he's also the kind of man who can be very dangerous . . . Reseph may not know why he mysteriously appeared in Jillian's life, but he knows he wants to stay. Yet when Jillian's neighbors 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, 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?… (plus d'informations)

Damn good book.

ARC provided by Netgalley. (

I can't remember the details of this particular book, but I have plans to reread the series soon. It follows the Larissa Ione format of erotic, humorous, otherworld demons, devils and angels, immortal badasses with smart mouths and great fighting skills. (

Ressup (the former Pestilence) has been left in a snowbank with no memory of his former life or any of the plagues he’s unleashed on the world. He vaguely remembers his name and can remember how to do things like drive a snowmobile or that he likes foods, but nothing concrete about who he is. He’s found by Jillian, who was injured horribly after one of his demon attacks. Great tension and drama as you’re just on the edge of your seat waiting for one of them to figure it out, or for the people from Ressup’s former life who are hovering ever nearer to finally find him.

Equally intriguing in this one are the scenes between angel Reaver and Harvester, who hasn’t exactly been a nice girl towards Reaver or anyone else the last few books. Will be interesting to see what becomes of that plot line in the upcoming story arcs.

All of this tension built up to a very exciting conclusion to the 4-book arc of the Riders of the Apocalypse series. Will be cool to see where the overall series goes next.

Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader.

I enjoyed the first half more than the second. The first half shows the hero temporarily without baggage working out what sort of person he is at his core and turning over a new leaf. Even when the couple are parted and later reunited I was on board, I would have probably given that book 4 stars. But after that it kind of went down hill. It felt like the author's reasoning became more about what she thought would be entertaining rather than what actually made sense. This whole four book series it about whether the horsemen will be forced into fighting on the side of evil in the demon apocalypse. This is determined by the fate of their seals. If a particular thing happens, a horseman's seal will break and they'll turn evil, if two seals break the other two horsemen's seals will automatically break and those two will join their siblings on the side of evil. That's the premise we're given for the series. For three books, all the good characters have done whatever it took to protect the seals, and all the villains have tried to destroy them to usher in Hell on Earth. - Reseph's seal broke, *through no fault of his own*, before these books even started, and he became super-evil 'Pestilence', and through the advantage of evilness apparently, was more powerful than any of the other horsemen. Many times we were told that Reseph had been good-hearted and would be horrified by what Pestilence was doing through him, and occasionally Reseph would even briefly 'fight to the surface' and beg his siblings to kill Pestilence even knowing that it would kill him as well. He would rather have died than continue to inflict so much evil. Shortly before this book, through a series of magical, prophetic events, Reseph is finally given reign over his body again (though with Pestilence still in there too) and he is emotionally tortured by the knowledge of the evils Pestilence enacted. I can buy all of that. But in the second half of this book, all the characters who understand about the seals and prophecy and everything still blame Reseph for Pestilence's actions, even the other Horsemen! Like it was just his weak character that allowed for evil to take place or something. - Either Reseph is as much a victim of Pestilence as anyone, or there's been no purpose to the prophecy or any of the efforts to protect the seals in the first place, (they could have just used *willpower* to avoid acting evil! *eye roll*) You can't have it both ways. And Pestilence was more powerful than the other horsemen combined, even with full agency over their own minds and bodies, so it's ridiculous to expect Reseph to have been able to stop him while overwhelmed from the inside, even without all the prophecy and everything else. So then they all exclude him, now that their beloved brother is actually returned to them. And just expect him to fight off the evil presence still inside him without their forgiveness and family support and things, which, you know, might help him with that. I absolutely hated it, both on principle, and on basic reason. And Reseph spends a lot of time racked with guilt in the second half as well, even at one point willing to die to try to 'make things right' for one particular human whose soul Pestilence stole. Which is a bit martyrish anyway, but also, they will still need Reseph's help fighting on the side of *good* during the apocalypse! It's imbicilic to risk still losing Earth to Hell (despite evil not having the horsemen fighting on their side), all to try to make amends to a single human for something someone else did when they had possessed your body against your will! Grrr. Despite my anger with the second half, the first half was still good enough to keep it above a 2 star. (

For Jillian. Your generosity is absolutely amazing, and truly, you are as beautiful inside as you are on the outside. I think Reseph's heroine lives up to the name. Thanks for everything... including the frying pan!
