Review of Pestilence (Book One)
Review of War (Book Two)
Publisher’s Synopsis:
“They came to earth―Pestilence, War, Famine, Death―four horsemen riding their screaming steeds, racing to the corners of the world. Four horsemen with the power to destroy all of humanity. They came to earth, and they came to end us all. Ana da Silva always assumed she’d die young, but she never expected it to be at the hands of the haunting immortal who spared her life years ago. Famine. But if the horseman remembers her, he must not care, for when she comes face to face with him for the second time in her life, she’s stabbed and left for dead. Only, she doesn’t quite die. If there’s one thing Famine is good at, it’s cruelty. He can’t forget the pain humanity has brought him, and he’s ready to bring it back to them tenfold. But when Ana, a ghost from his past, corners him for what he did to her, she and her empty threats captivate him, and he decides to keep her around. In spite of themselves, Ana and Famine are drawn to each other. But at the end of the day, the two are enemies. Nothing changes that. Not one kind act, not two. And definitely not a few steamy nights. But enemies or reluctant lovers, if they don’t stop themselves soon, heaven will.”
My Review:
Ok y’all, here we go with the next one in this series. Did I request the entire series from the publisher? Why yes, I did. And I seriously couldn’t be more grateful that they actually blessed me with all four books!
The cover redesigns are all so good and I will be getting physical copies.
I’m actually obsessed with this series. Ahhhhhhh, I just can’t get enough. These books are everything to me.
Ana is so sassy and I loved every snarky remark. (Side note, I’m still disappointed Ana didn’t tell Famine that she was “famished” when she was craving him… such a missed opportunity there.)
The suffering of Famine devastated me. As with every book thus far in the series, this story raises such intriguing existential questions that will have you contemplating humanity.
This story, in particular, focuses a lot on compassion for others regardless of whether they deserve it or not.
Someone asked me which one is my favorite so far and honestly I just can’t even choose. I love them all so much.
In Famine, I really loved how much time was spent developing their relationship on a deeper level before things got physical. And when they did finally get physical … HOT.
I love that these books don’t take themselves too seriously while still offering such depth to the plot and world-building.
Five stars for all of them. I didn’t take longer than two days to read any of them even though they’re all around 500 pages because I literally could not stop.
I’ve yet to start the last one and I’m holding off for the moment because I’m dreading it being over. No, really, I’m actually gonna cry when I’ve finished the last one and there’s no more.
Rhapsodic was just okay for me and I’m still debating continuing that series. But I also have this author’s newest release on my shelf and I can’t wait to read it as well.
