review 1: WARRIOR OF HEAVENReaver is an angel with a past, a record, and a less-than-heavenly attitude. Powerful enough to fight alongside the fiercest battle angels-and crazy enough to risk his wings on a one-way mission to hell-he's agreed to go where no angel has ever gone before...to steal the most seductive and dangerous prize of Satan himself.ANGEL OF HELLHarvester is one of the Fallen, a once-heroic angel who sacrificed her wings to work as an undercover agent in hell. But now her cover has been blown, and she's been doomed to an eternity of agonizing torture. Even if Reaver can snatch her away from Satan's lair, even if they can fight their way out of the underworld's darkest depths, there is one thing Harvester can never escape-her newfound thirst for an angel's blood...Lar... moreissa Ione is the number one.I waited so long to make up my mind to read this book, because I didn't read some of the previous books of Lords of Deliverance, but I was very lucky.I'm not saying I haven't lost anything, but definitely Reaver for as was written by Ms Ione is a great book to read alone.In the story there are all references to the events happened in the past between the various characters featured in the book and what a past, I dare say, now I'm just more curious than ever to be able to read the books that I miss in this wonderful series.What can I say? The plot is engaging, the world created by the author amazing,I love it, it's full of contrasts, the division between good and evil is not always so clear compared to what usually is used to think about angels and demons, the relationships between the various characters are very intricate.I love also the continuity and connection that Ms Ione has managed to keep her Demonica series and Lords of Deliverance, making always present the protagonists of the several series, even with brief appearances, which allow us to see them and enjoy their company.Reaver and Harvester are both amazing and compelling, and their relationship full of love and hate with very deep roots linked to their past.Not always a idyllic relationships, in which they were also enemies and Harvester has even tortured Reaver, but once he discovered the truth about her, the Angel can not refrain himself from trying to save her from a horrible fate, doing one of the things in which he's the best, going against orders from his superiors.Reading their story full of passion, irony and sarcasm and adventure makes the pages fly off in a heartbeat and the twists are always around the corner.Fantastic book!Thanks to Netgalley and Grand Central Publishing for the book.RATING: 4.5 starsTITLE: ReaverAUTHOR: Larissa IonePUBLISHER: Grand Central PublishingLarissa Ione è veramente la numero uno.Ho aspettato tanto prima di decidermi leggere questo libro, perché alcuni dei libri precedenti dei Lords of Deliverance non li ho ancora letti, ma mi è andata di lusso.Non dico di non aver perso niente, ma sicuramente Reaver per come è stato scritto da Ms Ione è un gran bel libro da leggere anche da solo.Nella storia sono presenti tutti i riferimenti alle vicende accadute in passato tra i vari personaggi presenti nel libro e che precedenti oserei dire, ora sono solo più curiosa che mai di poter leggere i libri che mi mancano di questa serie meravigliosa.Che dire? La trama è coinvolgente, il mondo creato dall'autrice unico, affascinante, pieno di contrasti, la divisione tra bene e male non sempre così netta rispetto a quello che di solito si è abituati a pensare su angeli e demoni, i rapporti tra i vari personaggi sono veramente intricati.Adoro la continuità e la connessione che la Ione è riuscita a mantenere tra le sue serie Demonica e Lords of Deliverance, rendendo sempre presenti i protagonisti delle diverse serie, anche con brevi apparizioni, che comunque ci permettono di rivederli e godere della loro compagnia.Reaver e Harvester sono entrambi meravigliosi, e il loro rapporto d'amore e odio con delle radici ben profonde legate al loro passato.Rapporti non sempre idilliaci, nel quali sono stati anche nemici e Harvester ha persino torturato Reaver, ma scoperta la verità su di lei, l'angelo non può trattenersi dal tentare di salvarla da un destino orribile, facendo una delle cose che gli riesce meglio, andare contro gli ordini ricevuti dai suoi superiori.Leggendo la loro storia piena di passione, ironia e sarcasmo e avventura le pagine volano via in un baleno e i colpi di scena sono sempre dietro l'angolo.Libro fantastico!Ringrazio Netgalley e la Grand Central Publishing per il libro.VOTO: 4,5 stelleTITOLO: ReaverAUTRICE: Larissa IoneEDITORE: Grand Central Publishing
review 2: Decent story, Larissa Ione always puts our something decent, but I'm growing very weary of the caught in hell and tortured story line. It's becoming a rite of passage and a contest to see how uglier it can get book after book. It's totally lost it's impact on me by now.Harvester and Reaver though are fun together though I never did care for their story lien and previous lives. And of course everything not only comes up roses for them but 24k roses that made me roll my eyes. But the trek out of Sheol was fun and Ione does a great job of mixing in characters from other books yet doesn't let them take over the story.Not sure I care about the next one but glad to see Reaver and Harvester get out of the purgatories they were in. less

well, as a german reader I was totaly waiting for him! From the first Demonica book I asked myself who is Reaver and what's his part in this amazing Demonica World, Larissa Ione made for us!I must say it was hard to read the book slowly becaus from chapter to chapter it was a rollercoast of suspense, humor and intrigues. It's really incredible how the story developed since the first book and I can say it's a must read for every one who loves to fall in a world and forget everything around! and well, if some one loves hot guys and also hot scenes than you've got a second reason to read the whole Demonica series.
