Week 52 Reviews: Famine, Death, Famine's Homecoming

From Goodreads:

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.

Ana da Silva always assumed she'd die young, she just never expected it to be at the hands of Famine, the haunting immortal who once spared her life so many years ago. But if the horseman remembers her at all, he must not care, for when she comes face to face with him for the second time in her life, she's stabbed and left for dead.

Only, she doesn't quite die.

If there's one thing Famine is good at, it's cruelty. And how these blighted bastards deserve it. Try as he might, he can’t forget what they once did to him. But when Ana, a ghost from his past, corners him and promises pain for what he so recently did to her, she and her empty threats captivate him, and he decides to keep her around.

In spite of themselves, Ana and Famine are drawn to each other. But at the end of the day, the two are enemies. Nothing changes that. Not one kind act, not two. And definitely not a few steamy nights. But enemies or reluctant lovers, if they don’t stop themselves soon, heaven will.

He's known by many names: Thanatos. Horseman. God's last angel. And then, of course, there's the one I'm all too familiar with—

Death.

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.

She is the one soul Death doesn't recognize. The one soul he cannot pry free from her flesh. Nor can he ignore the unsettling desire he has for her. Take her. He wants to, desperately. And the longer she tries to stop him from his killing spree, the stronger the desire becomes.

When Lazarus crosses paths with the three other horsemen, an unthinkable situation leads to a terrible deal: seduce Death, save the world. A hopeless task, made all the worse by the bad blood between her and Thanatos. But Death's attraction to her is undeniable, and try though she might, Lazarus cannot stay away from that ancient, beautiful being and his dark embrace.

The end is here. Humankind is set to perish, and not even the horsemen can stop Death from fulfilling his final task.

Only Lazarus can. 

My Review:
Oh, I had such a great time reading these books! I love this world and these characters, and things are getting intense, because with each brother, they get more and more powerful, until Death, who has all the powers, and who is the end. I loved reading these books!

I think I might have laughed the most in Famine. They're the couple who are the furthest away from mainstream, she's a former prostitute, and he is grumpy multiplied by anger and hurt. So I just devoured their story, I mean, she thinks about saving humanity with the skills that she's learned, and it was just so great! 

Death, oh man, what a ride! After everything that happened in Famine, Death brought it all together. I loved his and Lazarus's story and how they challenged one another. I wasn't sure how things would work out, but given the past history of the previous books, I had a hope that things would work out positively in the end! 

And oh, that ending! It was brutal and thrilling, and I wanted to know what would happen next. And oh, it brough the emotions, I teared up a bit, which I almost never do. The ending was so fitting for what this series has been, and I loved it! 

These were such fantastic reads, and I can't wait to read more by Laura Thalassa!
