They are here. They ride. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
His name is Ares, and the fate of mankind rests on his powerful shoulders. If he falls to the forces of evil, the world falls too. As one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, he is far stronger than any mortal, but even he cannot fight his destiny forever. Not when his own brother plots against him.
Yet there is one last hope. Gifted in a way other humans can't-or won't-understand, Cara Thornhart is the key to both this Horseman's safety and his doom. But involving Cara will prove treacherous, even beyond the maddening, dangerous desire that seizes them the moment they meet. For staving off eternal darkness could have a staggering cost: Cara's life.

*NO Spoilers

I am a huge Larissa Ione fan. Her Demonica series constantly features on my favorites lists and I can’t recommend them enough to Paranormal Romance fans.

However, when I heard that there would be a spin-off series I was a bit apprehensive. I mean, I loved the Demonica Series characters so much, that nothing could ever compare, right?

I am glad to say that I should have had more faith in the awesomeness that is Larissa Ione. Because, with Eternal Rider she has more than delivered. It does help that some of my favorite secondary characters from the Demonica series show up.

Ares is War, well, he will become one of the Horseman of the Apocalypse known as War, if or when his seal breaks. That means that he needs to do whatever it takes to make sure that does not happen, but what he did not expect was that to keep himself from going evil, he needs to make sure a human woman stays safe and alive.

Cara is human, well, she does have an ability she’d rather not talk about, but she is human and when a hellhound, Aegi hunters and basically the whole supernatural world comes knocking, it’s time to trust Ares or be killed.

Despite being a great Paranormal Romance novel, Eternal Rider is very dark. Larissa has no fear of making her characters go through hell, sometimes literally, to make they reach where they need to be. The journey is amazing and a wild ride I did not want to leave.

Demonica fans will probably love this, specially the cameos in it =) But, if you like your PNR light, this is not for you, yeah, there is some humor, but Eternal Hunter is dark at it’s core and if you’re ready for that, I think you’ll absolutely love it!

    I love love loved this book! I love Ione, she had me laughing so hard I cried in some places and in some places she just had me crying. I cannot say enough good things about this book and Ione! Thanks for the review!

  2. I will say this is my fave book for 2011 I absolutely devoured this book and I could easily go back and reread it back to back(I reread but never back to back ) I can't wait for Limos book.

  3. @Amanda and BLH Mistress!

    YAY so glad you guys loved it too!! =D

    I cant wait for Limos story either!

  4. You've really made me aware of Larissa Ione. I haven't read anything by her yet, but I picked up a few books recently of hers. Hopefully I'll get to them soon. Thanks for the great post.

  5. I've been wanting to get into this series so bad! Oh your review wants me to go out and pick them all up. You know my pocketbook is giving you evil looks, don't you?

  6. Julie says:

    You are perfectly right. Not light at all...but AWESOME!

  7. Fiktshun says:

    This book sounds really good. I haven't yet read anything by the author but I think I'm going to pick up Eternal Rider! Loved your spoiler free review!

  8. Blodeuedd says:

    Sometimes I want light, sometimes dark, sometimes humour. I never know :)

  9. Deea says:

    I haven't read the Demonica series yet (I know, I know, I'm on it) but this book really caught my eye and I added to my wishlist some time ago. It sounds awesome and I don't mind a darker plot!:D
    Thanks for the review, now I'll try to read it ASAP!
    P.S. Since this is a spin off, would it make more sense if I read the Demonica series first?
    xoxo

  10. Great review hon. I am so with you, it is dark, but I prefer it that way. I don't do light that well LOL!

    @Deea - It is not necessary to read the Demonica series in order to understand this. The only thing you will get are the characters from the Demonica series.This books has lots of cameos. But still, read the Demonica series because they are just plain awesome :)

  11. Hi Larissa!

    Yayayayayay! So happy that you liked Eternal Rider! You know I was sweating it! :) Thanks also for being part of the KLB event. What a great group of ladies.

    Thanks to everyone who commented!!

  12. @Midnyte

    Hope you love them as much as I do =D

    @Melissa

    LOL My own pocketbook is giving me evil looks =P

    @Julie

    Amen to that!

    @Fiktshun

    Thanks and you so should read Larssa's books, she rocks!

    @Blodeuedd

    I know how that is hehe

    @Deea

    You dont need to read the Demonica books before... but they are so awesome, that I totally recomend it!

    also there are some cameos from the characters, so they will be more meaningful if you do, but you'll still enjoy the book either way =D

    @Offbeat

    Thanks! =D

    @Larissa

    My pleasure! you know I luv your books! =D
