Pestilence by Laura Thalassa



4 Stars

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.

Four horseman of the apocalypse how could it not be a bit on the dark side. There were a lot of dark moments but I enjoyed the story. It flowed nicely. I loved the struggle Sara is dealing with where she’s falling for him but she doesn’t want to. She doesn’t want people to die but then when it is between people and Pestilence she has to choose. I know some people were saying this book is spicy romance but I would say it’s about 2.5/3 on the spice. I don’t know if I just read super spicy books so when people say it’s spicy I expect a lot of spice and this didn’t have that at all. Saying that I don’t care if it wasn’t spicy I just liked the book. Can’t wait to read the next one.

Sanctuary Books by SM Oliver



2 Stars

Avery is on her way to the Olympics when everything changes. The world is dealing with something that is changing everyone. She and her loved ones need to get to their sanctuary and hunker down. They will have to deal with strife and change with little to help. Will they be able to make it in this post world?


I am combining all three of these books into one review as there is no good way to write the review for each book since it is like one big, long book just with breaks. In addition to this notice, I also want to say I am not a huge fan of post-apocalyptic books. My issues with the book weren’t because of this trope but because there were other issues with the book. The big one being spelling errors and the misuse of words. In one instant ran was used when run should have been. When I catch errors like this there are problems because I don’t usually catch them. Each book ends on a cliffhanger and only 3 are out but the story isn’t completed. Nothing really happened past book 1. The same things happen in book 2 and 3 that happened in 1. More families show up and more kids are rescued but that is about it. Nothing is resolved and there isn’t any real progress in the story. I also want to know how they never seem to run out of gas even though months and months have gone by. Anyways I would pass on the books.
