Pestilence by Laura Thalassa

The Four Horsemen · Book 1

She tried to kill him. He took her instead.

When the horseman rides into Sara's town, death is inevitable - until she does the impossible and shoots him. For a moment, hope flickers. It doesn't last. Pestilence cannot be killed. And now, furious and very much alive, he takes her captive, determined to make her suffer for her defiance.

But the longer she travels beside him, the more the lines blur between hatred and something far more dangerous. He came to end the world. She tried to stop him. Now they're bound together in ways neither can escape.

READER RESPONSIBILITY
Know the genre. Know the tropes. Know your limits.

You can dislike a book, DNF it or give it one star. But there is a difference between a book being wrong for you and a book being bad.

Don't pick up an apocalyptic captive romance and then punish the author for writing exactly that.

He came to end the world. She tried to kill him. Now they're bound together in ways neither can escape. Start here - and prepare to read all four.
