We finish up the Four Horsemen with the darkest book of all: Death. This book does a fantastic job of finishing out the series in a way that makes you feel satisfied in the end. This book reads a lot different from the others, for 1 very good reason:
"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."
I have read that synopsis and this book at least 4 times, and it STILL gives me chills to read that. Everything you guessed based on basic information from the other books gets thrown out the window with this one. The Horsemen can be stopped?! The book leaves you guessing about so many things, leaving you in a bundle of different emotions until the end. I cannot recommend this entire series enough, especially this one. It is very rare that I fall in love with a series so much that I finish it in just 2 days because I cannot stop reading the books, but this one I did.
Just like the other 3, this one is on Kindle Unlimited as well as $16.99 on Amazon, $22.99 on Barnes & Noble, and $17.97 on Thriftbooks.
