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.

I have a bit of a mixed bag of feelings when it comes to this one. I've heard so many rave about it and it has been sitting on my kindle for months. With all the raving, I was kind of expecting more. I found it to be a little bit redundant because in the grand scheme of things, they were riding through different cities doing what he was created to do. However, I tapped into the emotional side of things and how he has been processing it. The more time he spends with Sara, he's becoming more human and starting to feel all these emotions he's not accustomed to. That is where the true story lies.

I couldn't quite connect with Sara at all, to me, she felt a lot younger than her age. And at times, I kind of found her immature.

I found their conversations very interesting, they were constantly going back and forth with one another. His reasons were valid at times despite all the destruction he was causing. These two were always at war with what was right and wrong.

As far as the world building goes, there was so much room for more and that's kind of where things fell flat for me. I had so many questions about Pestilence and how he and his brothers came to be. He stated every time that he wasn't able to talk about it and I was always wondering the why.

For the most, I did enjoy the read, it was something I easily devoured, but I just needed so much more. I am planning to keep reading from the series in hopes we get more world building!
