Famine is the 3rd book in the Four Horsemen series, and it does not disappoint! This one keeps you entertained with the amazing story-line you expect, and with enough romance and steamy scenes to make it worthy of the romance title. The synopsis does not disappoint either:
"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."
While we enter the realm of science fiction a bit more with this one in the aspect that the heroine survives a few scuffles with outlaws, it does it in such a way that you don't care. Famine is a lot more bitter about humanity than the other 2 horsemen have been, but his backstory does a great job of explaining why.
The storytelling in this one is also superb. You truly feel transported to this desolate wasteland he causes, and you side with the heroine more and more throughout the book. Once again, the Horsemen has to choose which is more important to him: his job, or the woman he has come to love. And his decision does not disappoint! While this one ends in a bit more of a cliffhanger than the other 2, it sets up the 4th book perfectly.
Again, this book is free on Kindle Unlimited and is $16.39 on Amazon, $19.99 on Barnes & Noble, and $17.52 on Thriftbooks.
