Amazon Book Blurb:
The Four Horseman are trapped in the
world they desolated. Their only purpose now is to exist amongst the ruins. All
of that changes with a small group of survivors... The seal was broken, and
Hell was unleashed. Pestilence, Famine, War, and Death rode over the earth,
creating a super-virus that turned humans into bloodthirsty monsters, opening a
path for demons, decimating nearly all natural life, causing chaos and death
throughout the world. Now that their duties have been preformed, the Four
Horsemen have disbanded, reduced to human bodies and trapped in the world they destroyed.
No longer the Horseman Pestilence, Avery wanders through the waste he created,
slaying any undead monsters and demons that cross his path. But when Avery
comes across a group of survivors looking for a safe haven, his priorities
begin to change. Not that the demons are going to let him stand in the way of
their plans. Avery ended the world once, and he refuses to see the demons end
it again. But to protect the last of the living, he must seek the help of his
brothers, all of whom are content with sitting back and watching the world
burn…
My thoughts: I have long been interested in demons,
vampires, zombies, and of course the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. I managed to find a well written,
entertaining, keep me up all night novel that had all of those components in
it! From the first page to the last I was
totally wrapped up in the storyline. The
characters were believable and written in a way that I cared about what
happened to them. I was actually rather
happy that the bad guys were bad and the good guys were good it is sometimes
tiring when you have to try to figure out if someone is really bad or really
good. This was fairly cut and dry, from
the start a fact that I appreciated immensely.
I am hoping that maybe we will get to see more of this story although as
of now it is a standalone novel. The
pacing was excellent it never stayed in one place to long, the tone was right
for the setting and purpose.
Rating 8.5/10
Recommendation: If the apocalypse, vampires, zombies, and
demons interest you then check this book out!
