 I wanted to give this 5 because Reseph is a well of HOTness and I can't decide if he's my favourite horseman, or if Thanatos is... 
 Anyway, I feel it SHOULD have been Reseph, but I felt he needed more humour, given his playboy, fun-loving background. Than's book (Lethal Rider) had way more humour in despite the darker emotional aspect. 
 I sort of feel this book should have been darker with all of Reseph's history as Pestilence, but for me, it didn't really go deep enough into the tortured emotions that it could have. 
 When Jillian found out about [Reseph being] Pestilence, I just didn't feel the angst I was supposed to feel - neither from her or Reseph - and I suppose it was this general issue that had me knocking off a star. Jillian seemed to accept it all with too much ease, given her own background with men. 
 Having said that, I read the book in one go, as I always do with Larissa Ione - I love her writing style and simply can't put her books down. Of COURSE I will be buying the next book, and I developed a little crush on Reaver back in Lethal Rider, so I'm really looking forward to finding out more about him :D 
 The sex in this book was HOT, HOT, HOT and as well written as always, and I even felt a stab of jealousy at the fictional character that is Jillian... But, my weakness is blond men with blue eyes :p 
 So, in short, a very good book that kept me hooked, but just didn't grab me by my emotional coat-tails like Lethal Rider did, and like I had expected it to. 
 But without a doubt, I am a total fan of this series, and the series as a whole gets 5 stars from me: great plot, great mythology, loads of action, hot men and luscious sex, all wrapped up in a funky and witty writing style - perfect!
