♥AFTER READING♥


NOT GONNA LIE!!! I love this series and my 5 stars is for the series as a whole not for this book, which was really good but it felt like Thalassa went off style, she's at her absolute best when she and her H's are at their darkest and go full into the gore. I love love love hidden meanings and I felt that some of the depth went missing, but still couldn't put it down and laughed so so much. I love it! It doesn't matter that I needed more darkness, Netflix will go deep with the dark stuff and the Streaming series will be AWESOMETACULAR!!!!

I have so so many things to say but if you haven't read the series beware of spoilers. Spoiler talk inside the spoiler tag.

You haven't read it yet? YOU'RE MISSING OUT BIG TIME. Go and grab your copy ASAP, is free with KU, just careful cuz you'll want to binge the four books and skip work, trust me on this one.

SPOILER TALK STARTS
*scratches head*
*meditates on lotus flower position*


*scratches head again...and a few fleas off*
*thinks so hard steam pours out of ears*
*takes a deep breath*
Did Laura Thalassa write this? She went slightly off-style!!!

So this is the most romantic, sexiest book of the series. More sex and more romance 'cuz Death is a sweetheart, which is not bad per se, these are pandemic times we can do with more romance, but it's slightly confusing 'cuz I love love gory stories, and the other horsemen took their women to darkest places where they questioned their morals and the meaning of being human... this series is so so good! Death is also a good book but....

but...

but...

You know that Famine said Death was the most terrible out of the four horsemen? That set me up for unmet expectations:

EXPECTATION


REALITY


I feel like having a go at Famine for over-hyping Death's dark traits
*glares at Famine*
*realizes how hot he is*
*Swoons*
Okay, I can't get angry at Famine but he for sure overrated his bro. Sure Thanatos was very difficult to stop, but no one was as sadistic and terrifying as Famine himself, which makes Ana's man my favorite of the horsemen followed by Pestilence.

Speaking of which, how cool was that horsemen fight? Uh? I was blown away!! So so good. I also love that Lazarus was always fighting her attraction to Death. If it had been me I would've run to his arms in 0.5 seconds and let humanity screw themselves. Lazarus was a strong h and I love love love her.

Ben got mixed reviews. For me, he was meh! He was barely in the book thankfully, it's just that Thalassa sensei is growing older and her target market nowadays skews older with those shirtless covers, and maybe that's also why she missed this great opportunity for dual virgins. Virgins are still my jam, just not stupid virgins, something like Serenity-Montes Or Edh-Beh (Transcendence) works well. I'm practically still a teen I don't mind older stuff, but I prefer new adult stories, cuz for me they're more relatable than single mothers, but older buffs don't always dig virgins and Thalassa is older now, you guys realize she hasn't written a virgin heroine since Serenity? That's a shame but I still will read and pre-order anything she writes cuz Thalassa sensei is always amazing.

Did you guys cry? I cried so so much, there were so many moments, like when Lazarus finds her family and the last one she finds is her mother...OMG! That was so heartbreaking, I would've broken down, that's like the worst of my fears, but Lazz licks her wounds and goes after the horseman. I also cried so so much when her mother asked her to leave the dead alone....I felt the fact that just right after that tearjerker moment there's sex was wrong, I didn't like that, but that's not something that takes away from the brilliance of the story, I love Death more than most books I read this year just I had unrealistic expectations and ruined my reading for myself. So many epic moments, that I ruined for myself trying to make Death something that he's not. But when Death takes Lazarus to the land of death and is saying his goodbyes? Oh gosh, that was so so good.

Famine was hilarious, he's the coolest of the four. I also love that the other horsemen looked their age, I imagine hot 40 YO's actors like David Gandy and Henry Cavill playing the older War and Pestilence. GUUYYYYSSS we need to make the mini-series adaptation happen, it wouldn't even require the budget of other post-apocalyptic series cuz the sets are built already and the extras can wear modern clothes. VFX could be kept at minimum. Low budget+ Good scriptwriter + Four hotties playing horsemen+Netflix= Success!!!

It's funny that so many things didn't work for me at personal level and yet I still love this book so much. I won't go much into detail about it cuz Thalassa's books are always mercilessly targeted by the losers of the literary agencies and they have connections within the Goodreads staff. But they can't hurt Thalassa sensei's sales now, the book did great the first week and the 45-day new releases window has passed so now I can talk about this freely without hurting Thalassa sensei a.k.a. #WritingGoddess #AutomaticPurchaseAuthor. Basically, I shouldn't be so nitpicky cuz this book is good, it's just that usually when something bothers me I skim over it or DNF, but this time I couldn't cuz this book is so so good and I would've missed out all the numerous moments of greatness if I had skimmed. It's kinda like what happened when I read another genius book: Land of the beautiful dead.

My review of Land of the Beautiful Dead is here what I said about it applies to this one too. I personally would've loved it if there had been less sex, or more like the sex shouldn't distract us from the darkest scenes, I also felt this time this could've been a contemporary read with Death being a mafia lord and not a horseman and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference, the other books felt so unique and Death was more standard mafia romance, I love mafia lords but contemporary isn't my cuppa. But I truly love the book and most of my friends received a recommendation to read Pestilence, I'll keep recommending the book until we have a Netflix series. Nobody should miss out on this greatness!!!
Long story short: GUYYYSS You need to read this series! I'm gonna miss my hot horsemen so much.
END OF THE SPOILER TALK♥

♥BEFORE READING♥


I'm so so excited and just can't can't hide it!!! GUUYYYYSSS, this isn't drilling.

I repeat this isn't a drilling.
DEATH IS LIVE...LOL
I repeat
Death is LIVE!!!

Not only is live it's on top of the charts already so if you wonder why a few (losers) literary agents on Goodreads and their multiple accounts are so so mad at Thalassa sensei and the Kindle Unlimited elite authors here's why:



So they use multiple accounts to post things like "Don't fall in love with Pestilence cover it'll lead you to your doom" and a classic: "War setting is so offensive to Muslims, nobody should read this book."
Be a sheep or be a thinker, it's up to you. Borrow this series for FREE!!! You don't need a Kindle, just the app.
*kisses KU app on cellphone*

Guuyyys this is the end and knowing Thalassa is going to be AWESOMETACULAR

I'll update you with spoilers when I'm done. So so happy to finally read my lovely Thanatos book.
