The Four Horsemen is a post‑apocalyptic romance series in which the biblical Horsemen—Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death—arrive on Earth with orders to wipe out humanity, each spreading their own form of devastation across a crumbling world. Each book follows one horseman and the human woman who confronts him, beginning with firefighter Sara Burns, who tries to kill Pestilence to save her town, only to discover he cannot die and becomes his captive as he rides across a dying continent. As these women travel with beings who see themselves as instruments of divine judgment, unexpected bonds form that force the Horsemen to question their purpose and the worth of humanity, blending road‑trip survival, moral conflict, and intense, enemies‑to‑lovers romance without revealing individual book endings.

Jamie’s review

The 4 horsemen of the apocalypse come to earth in various waves to judge all the humans and kill everyone off. Each book follows one of the horsemen during their mortal experience and surprise surprise!!!… they each meet an altruistic baddie determined to save humankind.

Started out meh with Pestilence, really liked War, then Famine was meh again, but we finished strong with Death.

These got repetitive since the EXACT same plot happens in every book. I liked that the setting is urban fantasy but the juxtaposition of the FMC speaking modern slang and the MMC speaking biblical proper dialect was a distraction. For example, "calm your tits" followed by "I do so hate following through on threats."

Not my favorite series, but not mad about reading it.

Erica’s review

4 books with the same exact plot? Yup. I don't know, I think I kept going just because I was so intrigued how this possibly could be happening, and it did. All. 4. Books. Each book had their own MMC (1 of the 4 Horsemen) and a new FMC so that kept it somewhat interesting, and I did love that each pair had different challenges, but it was still very repetitive. I read it, it was fine. I was happy to be done with it too and move onto a different story line.
