"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"--Page 4 of cover.

"Ok so I finished it in hours, don’t come for me. I really love this theme of enemies to lovers, villain’s deep dark twisted purpose questioned by a heroine who’s willing to risk it all for the greater good, even if it means losing what she comes to cherish the most. Their first encounter?PHENOMENAL! The end however, eh. But I’m committed nonetheless, cuz apocalyptic sexy horsemen #sayless "
"Yep I got enticed by a beautiful cover so sue me. You ever just get in the mood for a trashy read? Rhetorical question you wouldn't be here if you didn't. This plot to me was highly interesting but the execution of course was below par.<br/><br/>Let's start with the main character Sarah. False modesty seemed to sweat off of her. Please tell me of a more annoying trope than someone acting like they haven't done a good deed when they have 100 times over. "You saved a man." "No I was just there and it happened it's nothing no no no don't thank me." *blush* And come on is she really ignorant enough to think no one else has tried to kill Pestilence? And oh the inner ramblings. A little immature and eye rollingly annoying at times. I gawked at one scene were Sarah gets hurt and instead of soaking up every second she can so the rest of the world doesn't parish she's like "I'm healed let's go take out the rest of the world." <br/><br/>The book had a nice atmosphere which was nice for the cold fall weather. A little world building which is always my favorite. I loved Tricksy even his silly name. Pestilence character was over all well done. Of course I have my gripes but he was curious and timeless. Though the talking during, and I'm finger quoting here, love making was weird. But in all honesty I couldn't imagine the weight on his shoulders to be put into being to destroy the world. It must be very lonely.<br/><br/>I felt very uneasy about them throwing God into some things. It sound off hand and in poor taste. I am in no way wildly religious but it's unnerving when you mention God in trashy books like it was his plan all along for you to bone her.... So to end this rambling I was just disappointed at the main character. This was also a strange subject to write about riddled with mine fields and to me the Author wasn't careful enough to get around most of them. The cheesy inner monolog probably is what ruined it most for me. Oh and the talk about #lovemaking sometimes while in the middle of the act. Trashy books for me are always balanced on a ledge and it takes one corny conversion to tip it over."
"this book is ridiculous from start to end. there were many times I audibly gasped while reading it because every time I thought it could not get more silly, it did. could not take the plot seriously for one moment, but that's probably how it's best enjoyed. 1.5 stars because it made me lol and I read it in a day"
"The romance/love story of this book I honestly was not a fan of. However. I thought the plot was truly amazing. To be able to see the truly evil, hateful, vengeful sides of humans that lead to our existence being destroyed. And to also be able to see the love, the sacrifice, and true kindness that humans can offer to someone that they barely know that redeems mankind. That was incredibly powerful and something I really enjoyed in this book. Ruth and Rob crushed me. <br/>For the romance part, I am all for morally grey characters and for falling in love with them. However this enemies to lovers just seemed incredibly forced. It seemed more of a Stockholm Syndrome love affair than anything else. She would see him wipe out families even the ones who deserved it and then think he was angelic looking and incredibly beautiful. It was very strange. I did like the ending where he sacrificed for her instead though."

"I accidentally started on the last book, love it and fell so deeply in love with the main characters. This one however, it just didn’t really have that same impact. The female lead didn’t really have much fight in her, both the female lead and male lead didn’t have that much of a personality. It was an okay book. I will try to follow through and read the other two books, but I really do recommend the last."

"This is one of those books where I had no idea what to expect. Much of the conflict in the book seems to repeat, which shouldn’t be too shocking considering it’s about one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. I loved getting to know one of the horsemen from the authors eyes and seeing the characters overcome trials and tribulations. There were some scenes where I was uncomfortable; however, overall, it wasn’t different than the books I’ve read before and it was good!"
