Death is the fourth and final book in Laura Thalassa's The Four Horsemen romance series which follows the Four Horsemen of the apocalypse.
This has to be the best series by Laura Thalassa that I have read out of her two. I was absolutely obsessed with every single book for different reasons. I loved seeing one human showing these horsemen the value of humanity. It was a very different romance novel series but in the best way possible. I also have to give a shout out to Laura as God is referred to with she/her pronouns and that just made me so happy.
I really loved Death and Lazarus. I thought they were so interesting, especially the dichotomy of him being Death and her being a representation of Life. Two sides of the same coin who are in a battle to see who wins. Death is truly the definition of a grumpy hero whose heart is only open for Lazarus. I thought their dichotomy was so interesting and I loved seeing them face up against each other.
As this was the end of the series, I also loved seeing Lazarus's interaction with Death's brothers and the other horsemen Pestilence, War and Famine. War is absolutely unhinged still and I loved that for him as he was my favorite horsemen. I loved seeing Pestilence being so sweet and being so caring nad understanding. Famine was ready to risk it all for Ana and his chance at the life Pestilence and War have been living and I loved it. I thought they really played an interesting role in this novel and added a lot to it especially at the final fight scene. Everything about this novel had me at the edge of my seat and I wasn't sure how they were going to stop the apocalypse but I was living for it.
The only reason this book got 4.75 is that there is a child who shows up in it. I, personally, don't mind children at the end of romance novels or if they are funny children who push the characters together. I understand the need for the child in this to put some motivation for Lazarus but I don't find children my favorite in the middle of romance novels. That is just a me thing. I also wish we would have gotten more of the other horsemen's families as I loved all their romances.
Overall, this was such a unique and interesting story. I loved this series so much and this was a perfect final book in the series. I would highly recommend picking it up.
