Pestilence by Laura Thalassa

Pestilence (Four Horsemen, #1)

by Laura Thalassa

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.

When Pestilence comes for Sara Burn’s town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed.

Too bad no one told her Pestilence can’t be killed.

Now the horseman, very much alive and very pissed off, has taken her prisoner, and he’s eager to make her suffer. Only, the longer she’s with him, the more uncertain she is about his true feelings towards her … and hers towards him.

And now, well, Sara might still be able to save the world, but in order to do so, she'll have to sacrifice her heart in the process.

A little but slow but do worth it

I really liked this book. And the subject and plot was very interesting!

It's a bit slow paced, but I still felt it flowed well. I felt it was a melancholy book more than nesesseraly a dark book. Pestilence was very well written and he made me laugh as well as cry.

The sex is great and there are certainly gross descriptions, but it's not super dark.

Sara is a strong woman but is also merciful and hates as well as loves.

I really liked it and I'm really looking forward to 'War'!

Also I couldn't help it but Pestilence reminded me a lot of DEATH in Discworld. Haha. Especially when DEATH decided to take a vacation and learn about humans, for this familiar with those books. It was just the same type of innocent "but what is this feeling" and questions if "why". Hehe. It had me giggling many places in this book.

Pestilence isn't evil...he is just serving his purpose, and humanity isn't exactly showing him a good side... ;)
