Redheaded Bookworm: Review ~ Rogue Rider by Larissa Ione

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. 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 that Jillian can trust. But with hints of a troubling history of his own, he's also the kind of man that can be very dangerous . . .

Reseph may not know his background, or why he mysteriously appeared in Jillian's life, but he knows he wants to stay. Yet when Jillian's neighbours 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 with death and destruction, 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?

My review
This is the one we were waiting for. After the horrible, terrible things Pestilence did, how can Reseph redeem himself? I admit, I was worried that Ione wouldn't be able to pull it off. I mean, how can I ever like Reseph after the terror he reigned upon humanity? Well, we needn't worry. I really felt bad for Reseph. After all, it wasn't him that wreaked havoc, but for everyone it's hard to seperate the two. Which is understandable.

Jillian is a great heroine. Strong, independant and loyal beyond reason. She is the perfect compliment for Reseph. We find out a lot in this book. We finally find out who fathered the horsemen! Which, I would have never guessed in a million years! It also seems others have secrets as well. Get ready for some major surprises!

AND, Reaver's book comes out in 2013! I cannot wait to find out more about my favorite angel!

I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley for review.
