    Dark fantasy perfection
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2023*

This is Pestilence, the first book in the Four Horsemen series - Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death. This story is filled with carefully crafted, meticulously planned and expertly delivered words but the characters breathed into life, images painted, feelings evoked, and epiphanies delivered make this so much more than a simple dark fantasy. It is storytelling perfection. Pestilence is a horseman of the apocalypse and as such, is not a very likable character. No one is going to feel like cuddling Pestilence at the beginning of the book. Sara is also not a typical damsel in distress. She is a capable strong firefighter who chooses to kill Pestilence to save the rest of humanity even knowing her death will also be the result. Of course, Pestilence is immortal and when Sara’s murder attempt does not work, he decides to make Sara suffer as she allowed him to suffer. This is not a flowery love story chock full of sunshine and rainbows. It is at times dark and harsh. But despite being a dark fantasy, there is also light here, goodness, hope, and love, as an immortal being, now made flesh, learns about the human experience.  On their way to finding love with each other and to Pestilence letting go of his divine purpose, they have to deal with the changes in Pestilence as he experiences a human body and a human experience for the first time. The storyline is told through tender moments, mundane life snippets, death, violence, steamy scenes, chuckles, painful pasts, and poetry. It also gives you all the feels - horror, anger, love, sadness, resignation, joy, and annoyance. Underlying the main storyline is thought provoking realism about the effect humans are having on the world and each other, all the goodness and all the depravity. Actions which lead to the arrival of the Horsemen in human bodies.  I am excited to continue reading the stories of the other horsemen.

    I did not expect to enjoy this

**No spoilers were harmed in the making of this review**"It’s a strange feeling, being vulnerable around someone who’s both hurt you and tended to you."Hey guys, so I decided to read Pestilence (The Four Horsemen, #1) by Laura Thalassa. I had heard mixed reviews about it and decided to just give it a whirl. And Damn. For the premise of this book, a hot guy captures a girl who tries to off him and they turn from arch enemies to not...damn. I was not expecting what this novel would contain: a storm of emotions. This novel made me cry, it made me hate, it made me laugh, and it made me love. All of these emotions were bundled up in the storyline and the characters, mainly the horsemen, though also occasionally Sara as well. Their relationship...because lets just face the facts, this entire novel was literally just about their evolving relationship, and all that things that came with it. It was obviously a very horrid and torturous in the beginning. The horsemen was cruel and vindictive and a really horrible guy, harming her in the ways he did. And she had every right to try to escape, to hate him, to think he was a monster. However...over the course of their time together...their emotions changed, slowly but surely, with many setbacks, many, many. Think you take one step forward, but then three steps back. Goodness. It was never ending mix of pain and pleasure. The tension was killer and it made you hold your breath, wondering if one wrong move would make rverything come crashing down upon them. At first the horseman just keeps Sara alive to 'make her suffer', and boy does he ever, so much suffering, physical, mental, emotional, all of it. He hates humanity, he only wants to fulful his task, and he basically is a total alphahole. But...over time, through Sara, he begins to see the other side of humanity, the caring, soft, loving, happy kind. And he begins to yearn for it. ANd when he falls, he falls hard. It was...it was really intriging to see the gradual and slow desccnd to humanity of the horseman, the small things he comes to enjoy, the way he changes, softens. But just when you think everything is so beautiful, of course it is. Cause where would be the fun in that?! Jesus christ.. More pain and suffering and heartbreaking, holy crap so much heartache, for real!! Then of course, when Sara begins to see these changes in the horseman, her perspective on life changes, one everything changes, her world axis is forever tilted. She begins to see the human in the inuman. She begins to crave it. But damn is she a sassy and stubborn woman, holding onto her morals and values to the very end, jesus, so much conflict and second guessing, it makes my head hurt. Though it was kinda smart of her to try and keep her wits about her given the situation...even if im sitting here like "jump his bones already, goddamnit!!!!!!". But he holds onto his values and morals as well, but once he falls...he cannot seem to get back up, not turly. This book....damn this book to hell and back for making me think and feel. I do like the enemies to lovers trope, but I didnt think I would like this scenario, but it was very intriguing and compelling, addictive, could not put it down. The writing was also easy to read, very fast, could still understand the gist of what was happening. It also happened to be graphic regarding gore and violence..and...adult activites.. But it was very good, good writing, good characters, the storyline was good, the plotline, so so. But overall...damnnn. Okay, remember, this is all my opinion, if you want your own read the book. Till next time, bye.

    unique and compelling
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in Canada on April 30, 2023*

Finally, a new paranormal series to obsess over!I’ve been starting and not finishing a lot of paranormal romance series lately (it’s partially my fault, I’m looking for a good fit!) And I’m so glad I decided to finally pick up this series!There’s something about the bleak and hopeless nature of a well-written post-apocalyptic story that gets me right in the feels. I absolutely adore Sara Burns as a protagonist. She’s a firefighter and she’s tough, funny, and smart. She stays behind in Whistler, Canada when she knows that Pestilence will be riding through, because she intends to try to kill him to save humankind from extinction. What she doesn’t realize is that he’s immortal, and he decides to keep her as a prisoner as a warning to others who try to stop him…This is quite the slow-burn romance, and it’s rife with heartbreak. If you don’t want to read about many innocent people dying from the “Messianic” plague, then this book definitely isn’t for you. It’s hard to stomach, and I definitely cried a few times while reading this.That said, I loved the themes of religion throughout, but it never overwhelms or feels preachy. Humankind has ravaged the earth, and it’s time for the four horsemen to take it back.Bah! I can’t wait to read War’s book. 5+++ stars
