‘The Four Horsemen’ book series by Laura Thalassa follows 4 brothers of chaos and destruction. Each one has a role in destroying Earth as we know it, descending to us one at a time to make way for the end of the world. Pestilence is the first brother, an immature snob who spreads an illness with no cure. What is worse? He commands the speed of the infection at will. War, a human born warrior that spreads propaganda and violence across the nation. He uses resurrection to force the undead to burn down, bomb, and destroy innocent homes. Famine, the slyest of the brothers, turns plant life into insanely sharp weapons while draining the world of its nature. Death, the final boss, can end humanity in an instant except, someone is stopping him? All the books in the series focus on the terrifying nature of these brothers, but they are also dooming love stories. Going into the visuals on the covers, each brother is represented by an animal that is represented by their powers and/or their personalities. The rat is unfair and spreads disease. The lion is violent and leads its packs. The scorpion is dry, dangerous, and associated with starvation. The vulture is the wise scavenger, picking up the remaining corpses. There is a secret heart in each cover, glossing over how each brother met their love interest and what is preventing their love from truly blossoming.
