Book Summary
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.
My Thoughts
Pestilence is the story of the apocalypse plot filled with repetition, ignorant heroine, and cheap romance that undid me. The first book of this series told us about how the earth is on the brink of doomsday. The almighty God has sent His Horsemen to clean His human creature. One of them who actively killing people is Pestilence. His killing method by spreading infection among the people.
Meanwhile, there's Sara, a firefighter woman who lost bet and she had a task to kill Pestilence while all of the people in her town evacuated. Unfortunately, she didn't know that The Horsemen couldn't be killed. The angry Horsemen decided to keep Sara alive under his watch as his prisoner. And so the predictable situation began.
Have you ever thought that within several years, your reading preference would be changed?
Well, I just did, especially when I'm in the middle of reading this book.
I feel if I read it like three years ago, I would easily give Pestilence four stars rating. That was when I'm all about reading all of those NA Paranormal Romance.
Now I feel old, I got cringe over the whole plot. No, not that the author writes badly. I enjoy Laura Thalassa writing, her writing style made bearable for me to finish it and I will read her books more in the future. This series is just not my cup of tea.
My rating is 2 out of 5 stars
