Review: Famine

 

Title: Famine

Series: The Four Horsemen

Author: Laura Thalassa

Release Date: 

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.

So if you guys didn't know, I have been binging the Four Horsemen series by Laura Thalassa, and loving it! I cannot wait for Death's story!!! (Seriously, I am dying to get my hands on it!!)

As with the other two Horsemen, Famine makes his appearance upon Earth. Famine is good at cruelty- learning from the worst of the humans. 

Ana meets him twice. The second time she was stabbed and left for dead by the Horsemen, without so much a glimmer of recognition, or remorse from the Horsemen. Only Ana doesn't stay dead. She meets him a third time, promising pain for what she endured at his hands. Her and her threats captivate him, so Famine decides to keep her around. Ana and the Horsemen are enemies drawn together, and more then just the Hunger for Vengeance stirs inside Famine. But if they don't stop what they are doing heaven itself may just have to interfere. 

I loved Famine. He was dark, cold, and cruel- more so then his brothers before him, with every reason to be. He was broken by the very thing he was set out to destroy, in more ways then one. But one human shows him in ounce of kindness. 

Ana was also shown the true nature's of the humans she lived in a world with. But she didn't let her surroundings break her. She came out strong, with a sharp tongue. The two together, an unlikely pair. But together they thrived. They fought every step of the way, Ana pushing Famine's buttons, testing him every kilometer they spent together. 

I loved this book, and the back & forth between the characters. I cannot wait to see what else Laura has in store with the next novel. 4.5 ⭐ out of 5 ⭐.
