Then it starts a sort of game of cat and mouse, where Lazarus keeps ambushing Thanatos. Even if she can’t do that, she will delay him long enough in order to warn the cities of his arrival.

She’s not actually her mother but she found Lazarus when she was a baby, alone and hungry, the sole survivor of the disease Pestilence spread all those years ago.

Her mother is in the garden and she’s the one Lazarus mourns more. When she realizes her town is in Death’s path she rushes forward, trying to reach her family before he passes. He has a purpose and he intends to keep it. He wants to take her but he doesn’t want to make the same mistake his brothers made.

When Death sees her standing in the middle of the road, he’s surprised she’s still breathing and fights the urge he feels towards her. It is when everyone starts dropping dead next to her that she realizes: it’s happening again. A dollar fifty for one single apple? It’s beyond reason! But she really needs them for her niece’s birthday party. She’s at the market, discussing the stupidly high price of an apple. Spoilers: Please note that my review will contain spoilers!Īnd after Pestilence, War and Famine, came the most feared horsemen, the one with the final say in the surviving or extinction of humankind: Thanatos aka Death.įor Lazarus is just another normal day. Trigger Warnings: Violence/ Near-death Experiences/ Sex scenes Humankind is set to perish, and not even the horsemen can stop Death from fulfilling his final task. 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. A hopeless task, made all the worse by the bad blood between her and Thanatos. When Lazarus crosses paths with the three other horsemen, an unthinkable situation leads to a terrible deal: seduce Death, save the world. And the longer she tries to stop him from his killing spree, the stronger the desire becomes. Nor can he ignore the unsettling desire he has for her. The one soul he cannot pry free from her flesh. She is the one soul Death doesn’t recognize. But Lazarus has her own extraordinary gift: she cannot be killed-not by humans, not by the elements, not by Death himself. 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. And then, of course, there’s the one I’m all too familiar with. They came to earth, and they came to end us all. Four horsemen with the power to destroy all of humanity. They came to earth–Pestilence, War, Famine, Death–four horsemen riding their screaming steeds, racing to the corners of the world.
