This book was fun and entertaining and I loved the dialogues . It was more character-driven for me. I really liked the idea of life and death being lovers. As much as I enjoyed reading this It felt kinda repetitive. (with relation to the series not as a standalone)The other books in the series follow the same type of storyline
The ending however was full of action. It was a real rollercoaster. The character of Thantos(death) was incredible. I liked how determined he was and also sooo adorable. Laz was a badass -fighting, running and protecting people she loved.
I loved their chemistry.

Death is the last of the horsemen to ravage the earth. The last book of the series takes place in the US where Death is killing off whole cities even before arriving to them and leaving the city in rubble after he leaves. There is no escaping Death when he can kill even without seeing or touching, except for one. Lazarus has escaped Death twice in her life and now she is out to stop him from destroying the rest of humanity. Death's brothers, with their own families on the line, are also there to help. While I enjoyed this last book, my only complaint is that it, like all the other books, are way to unnecessarily long and could use a good edit to get rid of a good portion of the book that doesn't move the plot along.

Apocalyptic dark urban fantasy romance

Death is the closer to the human soul, the guide of the dead, and the biggest mystery of this series.
From the previous books, we know he considers his brothers below him. Stopping their task to kill mankind just shows their weakness.

What always strikes me in the Four Horsemen series by Laura Thalassa is how much we don’t want to accept the horsemen as a love interest and end up understanding them enough to wish their redemption for all the atrocities committed against humans and eventually their happiness.

Death is unstoppable. Before his arrival, all humans just drop dead, until unforgivable silence is all that is left. This until Lazarus. From all the heroines in this series Lazarus is the one that endures more loneliness and perhaps more pain. I loved how she outsmarted Death on her relentless fight to save humans.

Death is definitely a gray line between bad and good. I did expect Death to resist more his push towards Lazarus, although watching him trying to kill her and reading his frustration was a high point.

Since I binged this series, the constant use of children to drives the plot to higher stakes made me cry, not due to the connection to the characters but due to the shock. This since I am a mother.

Content Warnings:
• Mention of death of parent
• Death of loved ones
• Fear of death of a child
• Extreme Violence, particularly towards women (not by Death)
• Torture
• No pregnancy

Series with overarching plot, cannot be read as a standalone, since Pestilence, War and Famine are important characters in this book. Last on the series.
Each book focuses on one couple with HEA.

This series just keeps getting better and better!

He needs her alive, she wants him dead. He is Death and she is life. It was perfection!!

I literally devoured it. Lauras writing is amazing and I love how she tells the story. I am so sad its over, the ending was bittersweet and I think Death is my favourite horseman ♡ he was so sweet and their chemistry was spot on. Loved it.

Wow.. just wow.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this arc.

I am once again completely blown away by Laura Thalassa. Her ability to create such loving relationships with these clearly evil characters and have the reader absolutely fall in love with them as well is phenomenal.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series and can not wait to find more of her work, as it was her writing style that kept me hooked from page one. I never thought I would say that I loved Death, but if the afterlife is anything like this story portrays, I can’t wait to meet it.

This one is by far my favorite book in the series. I kept wondering how it was all going to get wrapped up in the end and it ended better than I could have imagined. The only thing in this book I didn't care for very much was Ben. It kind of felt just thrown in there as a bargaining chip to get Lazarus to be with Death. It felt kind of out of place and just random. But it was still very good anyway.



Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

When you get to the final book in a series like this, with such high stakes, what you really need is for it to make your heart explode. That it certainly it did. I am so grateful for all the hype surrounding this series and can’t wait to dive into it once again.

Death wrapped up Laura Thalassa's brutal, heart-wrenching, bittersweet, incredible series. I think that Thalassa is at her very best in every single one of these books and Death is no different. I laughed, I cried, I screened very important phone calls because I could. not. stop. Seeing the return of the previous horsemen and their women added such a richness to the story. I loved this series, I loved this book, and I can't recommend Death enough.

The day Death comes to Lazarus Gaumond’s town and kills everyone in one fell swoop, the last thing he expects to see is a woman left alive and standing. But Lazarus has her own extraordinary gift: she cannot be killed—not by humans, not by the elements, not by Death himself.

Phew. I can’t believe it’s over! Laura really let us go out with a bang. The things I loved about this whole series was when each guy would find out all these strange human nuances. When they’d start to feel their humanity creeping in and look at the world with wonder and a new appreciation. No one did it better than Death. He was the one who was so sure that his path wouldn’t be swayed, even if he was the one who fell for his woman the quickest.

I loved it when all the brothers were together and their banter. The brothers working out that Death had found a woman just like them was funny too. War has been my favourite throughout but Death might just be giving him a run for his money.

Thanks to #NetGallery and the publisher. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Words can’t describe how much I loved this book. Lazarus was a wonderfully written heroine. She was a strong willed bad bitch but also feminine and soft. Thanatos was the perfect amalgamation of righteous and morally unstable. I loved that religion is written ambiguous and all encompassing. The end of this series was more perfect than I could have hoped.

OH WOW PHEW FINALLY.

ok ok, since this is the last installment of the series, I was kinda hoping that the plot would be a bit different than the 3. Where horseman met a women, then they fight, the i hate you you mortal you try to kill me, then they start calling each other beautiful and then made out then feeling confused then the women protect their horsemen when he was attacked then yeah...

NEVERTHELESS,
only this epic finale, to have all of his 3 brothers vs 1, the battle was epic. even the ending was good and well deserved.

Thank you NetGalley & publisher for this eARC.

This book wrecked me. It's pure genius. This whole series is. Death is book four in The Four Horsemen series and it truly couldn't have ended better. I cried like a baby.

Death is probably the most troublesome of the four brothers just because of how relentless he is. He is here for a purpose and that's exactly what he's going to do. Meanwhile, Lazarus is doing everything in her power to get him to change and Death just will not let go. That's why I think the ending is so poetic. I'm also so glad that it ends from Death's perspective.

The last few lines, though... I lost it.

I loved the nickname.

This book had some interesting and surprising parts as well as some dull ones.

Once again very repetitive, it was the same story 4 times.

Also the killing of each other at first it was fun but it got repetitive.

I liked that the other horseman made an entree in this book.

The ending was interesting.

In the unnamed novel, readers are thrust into a world on the brink of apocalypse, where four horsemen—Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death—ride forth with the power to annihilate humanity. The story centres on Lazarus Gaumond, who possesses an extraordinary and seemingly inexplicable gift: she cannot be killed, not by human hands, natural elements, or even Death himself. When Death arrives in Lazarus's town, leaving death and destruction in his wake, Lazarus becomes the lone survivor. Death is both baffled and drawn to her, as her soul remains elusive and untouchable, unlike any other. An unsettling desire begins to consume Death, complicating his mission to end humanity.

As Lazarus attempts to thwart Death's killing spree, an unexpected and dire situation forces her into a dreadful deal: seduce Death to save the world from its impending doom. Despite the enmity between them, Lazarus cannot resist the allure of the ancient and beautiful being known as Death, and a complex and passionate relationship emerges. The fate of humanity hangs in the balance, with Death determined to fulfil his final task. Only Lazarus possesses the power to alter the course of events, but the path to salvation is fraught with challenges and uncertainty.

The book offers a gripping and imaginative take on the concept of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, blending elements of paranormal romance and fantasy. The narrative is marked by its dark and apocalyptic atmosphere, which serves as a fitting backdrop for the unfolding drama. The character of Lazarus Gaumond is a compelling and resilient protagonist, marked by her unique ability to resist Death's grasp. Her determination to stand against the horsemen and save humanity adds depth to her character, and her evolving relationship with Death is central to the story's emotional arc.

Death, portrayed as an ancient and enigmatic being, is a complex and intriguing character. His inner conflict and growing desire for Lazarus provide layers of depth to his personality. The dynamic between Lazarus and Death, filled with tension and attraction, drives the narrative forward. The concept of a mortal attempting to seduce Death to save the world is a unique and thought-provoking premise that keeps readers engaged. The novel explores themes of desire, sacrifice, and the power of human connection in the face of impending doom.

The author's writing style is atmospheric and evocative, creating a vivid and immersive reading experience. The dark and foreboding tone of the story complements the themes of apocalypse and the supernatural. For fans of paranormal romance and fantasy with a dark and apocalyptic twist, the untitled novel offers a captivating and unconventional tale. It delves into the depths of desire, the complexities of mortality and immortality, and the enduring power of love in the face of the end of the world.

The last of the Four Horsemen Series by Laura and I've been loving every single book in this series. Such a great series, epic romance, and absolutely head over heels screaming crying spice.

Book 4!! I have loved all of this series so far. Death and Laz are quite the snarky pair. This series is a must read!

Death by Laura Thalassa, the final installment of the Four Horsemen series, is an emotional rollercoaster I didn't want to end. The book beautifully explores the philosophical aspects of death and life, and I was captivated by Lazarus, the last woman tasked with convincing Death to see the good in humanity. Her inner struggles and journey were relatable, making it easy to connect with her character.

Death, the last Horseman, was everything I hoped for. Thalassa skillfully portrays his complex character and his unique perspective on humans. The interactions between the four brothers are both amusing and thought-provoking. The story made me laugh, cry, and fall in love with the characters all over again. Thalassa's writing is exceptional, and the book is a perfect blend of love, tragedy, humor, and heartbreak. The epic love story between Death and Lazarus is both captivating and memorable, with sizzling romantic scenes and poignant quotes. I couldn't put this book down, and it's a fitting conclusion to a fantastic series. Laura Thalassa has once again proven herself as the queen of endearing characters and epic storytelling.
