This book is so amazing, the entire series is just beautifully written and brilliant. This book was my first from Laura Thalassa, but she sucked me in with her griping characters and driving story line. I love those she turned what is a usually sullen subject into a story with heat, passion, and romance. I cannot believe I was SWOONING for Pestilence at the end of this book! But that’s what Laura does, she’s incredible. This book is a must read!

WOW. This was nothing to what I expected and yet everything! It hit hard a lot of times especially during today’s COVID crisis so I cried A LOT when she kept witnessing death - which did NOT discriminate in age. EVERYONE died - but those children’s deaths were more tragic.

Pestilence’s character was a little subdued for my liking - I mean he’s one of the Four Horsemen! Yes he was still a strong developed character but there was just a hint more I wanted from him. Especially during his struggles as he develops his humanity and a conscience. BUT spice factor was there and it definitely made up for it.

The romance was such a slow burn! I hate slow burns BUT it was an important factor here as the story focuses more on the fact that WE destroyed the planet and our consequences for it. I can’t help but continue to compare the COVID crisis to how this is a splitting image of it.

Definitely intrigued with the next horseman to debut into the world!
