The Four Horseman Series by Laura Thalassa

Have you ever read a series that hangs on in your head for days on end?

One that you were so sad to see end, but impressed as hell at how it ended?

Well, The Four Horsemen series by Laura Thalassa is that series for me.

I bought Pestilence solely based on the first cover. I knew nothing about it or the author, but that first cover Laura had was striking in a way that spoke to me. That first book became one of my all time favorites. It surpassed the expectations that I had based on the original cover, and I have been addicted to this series ever since.

That first book still haunts me to this day.  I read Pestilence at least ten times in a row - it was my exercise book and I kept trying to dissect it as a writer - but every time I set out to do that, it sucked me into the story and I forgot about trying to figure out what devices she was using to get me to care about the characters and what was happening. As an author, for a book to do that to me, it has to be beyond just good, it has to be stellar. And Pestilence is THAT good!

War and Famine the next two in the series are good as well, but they did not capture my attention the way Pestilence did.  But they are still well worth the read. 

Anyway, I was lucky enough to be able to get an advanced copy of Death that comes out on November 9th. And I finished it within two days, ignoring my own writing schedule and despite having company at the house for the weekend.  

Holy cow. This one blew me away as a reader, and completely humbled me as a writer.

It is now my new favorite book of all time. 

I cannot express how beautifully written this is. It made me immediately care for the main character and I did get a few laughs between biting my nails with the tension that Laura layers throughout the story. It moved me to tears on more than one occasion, and wrapped up the entire series in a way that was incredibly satisfying.

And yes, I know I'm being vague here, but I don't want to give any spoilers, as my hope is that you will grab this series and devour it as completely as you will that turkey you have for Thanksgiving!

If you like dark paranormal romance novels, pick these up. I promise, you will not be disappointed!

The Devil's Offer is now available for preorder everywhere!

Grab your copy at your favorite vendor HERE

When I make a deal with the devil to save my boyfriend, I never imagined that he would break up with me two days later. Or that Lucifer himself would show up at my door, demanding payment.

What is he asking for as payment, exactly?

I must track down the last demon hunter for the devil, so Lucifer can kill him once and for all. If I do this, Lucifer will tear up my contract.

If I refuse, he will drag my soul to Hell to start my eternal punishment.

My choices suck. An eternity in agony, or lead someone else to their death in exchange for my very soul.

What would you choose?

DEAD AWAKENINGS

*¨¨*•ღ*•.¸ New Release *¨¨*•ღ*•.¸

Being dead is a great way to find yourself…

Struggling to pay her bills, New York theater student Evaine Michaels sees an opportunity to make money by taking part in an unsanctioned clinical trial for a new drug. But things don’t go as planned. Instead, she wakes up in a derelict hospital, chained to a bed with no memory of who she is or how she got there.

Then a band of pale-skinned, fiery-eyed men, led by the gorgeous Luca, bursts in and rescues her. Taking her to a safe-house for her kind, Evaine learns that the drug trials have made her a Deader- a reanimated Undead.

Luca is inexplicably attracted to newly rebirthed Evaine. But he has no time for the feelings she’s awakening within him- or the fact that she can read not only his thoughts, but his feelings as well. He's spent the last decade exterminating the scientists experimenting on, and creating Deaders. And the last thing he needs is a female messing with not only his mission, but also his head, and his heart. Especially a volatile newborn Deader.

Evaine and Luca find themselves drawn to each other in a way neither has experienced before- until Evaine remembers not only who she is, but that she’s engaged. And that her human fiancé, Tristan, is probably still looking for her.

But when a rogue faction of Deaders, called Feeders, attempts to kidnap Evaine, Luca suspects she might be the key to stopping the experiments for good. And everyone will have to band together to keep Evaine off the enemy's cutting table once and for all.
