Yesterday I posted a review of a Four Horsemen romance book called Pestilence….and now I’ve also now read book 2, War, so here we go with my review!!!!

Title: War

Series: The Four Horsemen #2

Author: 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.

The day Jerusalem falls, Miriam Elmahdy knows her life is over. Houses are burning, the streets run red with blood, and a traitorous army is massacring every last resident. There is no surviving this, especially not once Miriam catches the eye of War himself. But when the massive and terrifying horseman corners Miriam, he calls her his wife, and instead of killing her, he takes her back to his camp.

Now Miriam faces a terrifying future, one where she watches her world burn town by town, and the one man responsible for it all is her seemingly indestructible “husband”. But there’s another side to him, one that’s gentle and loving and dead set on winning her over, and she might not be strong enough to resist.

However, if there’s one thing Miriam has learned, it’s that love and war cannot coexist. And so she must make the ultimate choice: surrender to War and watch humankind fall, or sacrifice everything and stop him.

War is here, dealing out his own brand of justice to offer humans, redemption.

And he just happens to find his ‘wife’….

‘I saw you, and for the first time, I wanted. And so, I took.’

Poor old Miriam. Enough tradegy has befallen her and now she has landed in the lap of a horseman of the apocalypse. Can’t get much worse than that.

Or can it….

‘You are my wife, you will surrender to me, and you will be mine in every sense of the word before I’ve destroyed the last of this world.’

I tell you, War said those words to me after I got a good look at him and my clothes would probably just disintegrate!!!

I’m not sure I’ve read any books about The Four Horsemen so when my friend recommended this as a must read, I got right on it!

And it was so good!

Title: Pestilence

Series: The Four Horsemen #1

Author: 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 forbidden romance of the highest order!

This book is addictive. But my god I read through this book with Thors voice playing in my head everytime Pestilence spoke, every time!

His forthright attitude and the way he ponders over Sara’s thoughts and questions, almost innocent and endearing even though his quest is anything but that. In short I loved him. Absolutely loved him!!

‘I cannot decide if you are a toxin or a tonic, he says, lifting a hand to my cheek. Only that you plague my thoughts and fill my veins.’

That glimpse of Death and then that ending, this is going to be fun!

I can’t remember where I saw this post so I’m sorry if I haven’t credited you (let me know and I’ll add on!!)

I saw a post for Wishlist Wednesday and it had books that were coming up in the next month but I decided to change this up a bit for me.

In July I’ll be showing books that are on my Amazon wishlist. The books I’ve added on but haven’t got round to buying yet….I don’t why though!!!

 

Penmort Castle (Ghosts and Reincarnations #3) by Kristen Ashley

I read the first book in this series, Sommersgate House last year and loved it!  I automatically brought book 2 (which is still on my tbr) and wish listed the rest of the series.

I had a lovely week at the beach, it was so hot that it was a week of lazing about, diving in the sea/pool and READING!!!! I was disappointed that I had to come home to normality!

My apologies as I didnt get a chance to blog hop, read posts or hardly reply to any comments mainly due to the fact that there was no signal!!!

Sweetwater by Rivi Jacks

Transcendence by Shay Savage

A caveman romance? Say whaaaaat? But this was it. And I’m not ashamed to say that it was such a great read, and just so unimaginably sweet!
