The prophecies were there but no one listened. Until now. They are the Lords of Deliverance and they have the power to usher in Doomsday . . . or prevent it.
Sexy, powerful and immortal, Limos is on a crash course with destiny. She's been marked as Satan's bride and her jealous fiancé wants her all to himself. The only way this Horseman can keep herself - and everyone else - safe is to keep her distance. But not even Limos can save herself from the secrets she's kept . . . or resist the seductive allure of one very brave human. Arik Wagner knows the saying 'love hurts' better than most, yet he never thought stealing a kiss from Limos would land him in Hell. Literally. It takes all his military training to survive the demon torture, but once he's topside, Arik realises that the agony has just begun. With the Apocalypse looming and Satan demanding his bride, will Arik and Limos surrender to the desire smouldering between them? Or will giving in to their passion unleash hell on earth?

I am wondering if Pestilence will ever be saved, and what will happen to one of my favourite Demonverses if he isn't! I am really looking forward to the next instalment, so many exciting things can happen in this series, and the misinterpretations and deliberate manipulating of certain characters makes it all the more interesting!

Limos (or Famine as she's known in Horseman world) wants to have what most woman want: family and friends to love, to find a man who will love her forever and to be a mother. Sure, she can start a famine and wipe out an entire continent, strike down demons and other uglies with a flick of her sword or dagger just as good as her brothers and she happens to currently be engaged to Satan...but she's still a woman at heart. And it's hard for that woman to be remotely interested in a man when she knows that come the time to become intimate with a man, her chastity belt becomes a problem.
Enter Arik Wagner. He's part of the governments R-XR unit which works to keep things all paranormal hidden from humans. He's working with Kynan and the Aegis to try and figure out a way to stop Pestilence (Reseph) from further spreading his wrath across the globe while helping the remaining horseman ensure their seals don't break. Arik is especially drawn to Limos and in a weakened moment at her brother's engagement party he kisses her. That kiss sends him on a journey straight to hell.
Limos and Arik have quite a journey to get to their HEA. To start, Limos is still engaged to Satan. But then there's saving Arik from hell. Saving Arik from Pestilence who's determined to use Arik's soul. Finding Limos' agimortus and keeping it from Pestilence. All this in between their budding romance developing. Of course, there's still that chastity belt issue..but they work around that *wink, wink*.
I never really liked Arik when he was in the Demonica series. He's was always a bit of an ass. Sure that could have been his military training, especially given the unit he works in, but I always thought it was more of a prejudice thing against those that weren't exactly human. Suddenly with Limos, we see this other side to Arik. The softer, sexier than hell side of him. We learn why he's a bit biased towards demons and such, but we also watch him fall in love with a woman who's so much more and his perfect match.
Limos is an enigma. On the outside she appears as a party girl with her flirty skirts and skimpy bathing suits. On the flip side, she's also a horseman that can kick the crap out of anyone or anything that comes after her. But deep down, she's a woman who's afraid the lies of the past will destroy her relationship with the brothers that she loves and the man who has come to mean so much to her. Like the rest of us mere mortals, she struggles with how ask for forgiveness from those she's hurt and hope they can move forward. It's quite refreshing to find 5,000 year old immortals have the same issues as us. LOL!
Thanatos and Regan's secondary storyline was a great set up for the next book, Lethal Rider. I'm not sure how that one is going to get pulled off since Regan has caused Than to enter into a entirely new sphere of pissed off. I can't wait!
An awesome installment in the Lord of Deliverance series.
