Here’s the problem with myths and legends; they’re fiction. At one time, they may have been stories of real people, but over time, the story was passed from person to person, so what was once fact, becomes the written fables of those long ago.This is the true story of Death and the five horsemen.Quitting her teaching career and working full time on her fledgling editing business, Julie Michaels … business, Julie Michaels isn’t prepared for the shedload of changes heading her way. To be precise, it’s just one screeching stop on the crazy train away.
Dean “Death” Apocalos never imagined change would come so swiftly in the form of love, chaos, and Decay. Dean and his three brothers are about to see their worst fear come to light; their forgotten brother and the fifth horseman, Decay.
Previously entombed, someone has let the loon loose on LA. It’s now up to the horsemen to put him back in his box… before he upsets the balance once more.

As of late, paranormal hasn’t been my go-to genre. When I read the blurb of this book though I decided to give it a try. I’m SO glad I did. Instantly I fell in love with Dean and his brothers (which seems odd considering they’re the four horsemen, but read this and you’ll fall in love with them too!) Of the brothers, Connor had some of the best lines (“Talk dirty to it”) and Falcone seems like a big ole sweetheart the kind of guy you’d want as a friend. This book had everything I love about paranormal – a great storyline, action, detailed history, plot twists, and a good bit of humor thrown in. The way this was written reminds me of the paranormal style of Joss Whedon (one of my all-time faves) where a serious moment is suddenly made lighter by a sarcastic comment. In short, this book was awesome. It has flown up to the top of my faves of this year and I am recommending it to my husband and anyone else I know who enjoys reading!
Well written paranormal with such intriguing characters. Was drawn in the storyline from the start not putting down until I finished it. Loved the humor and interaction between the characters. Awesome start of the legendary four horsemen of the apocalypse.
I am so glad I picked up this book!! I love anything to do with the Horsemen!
I love when a book has humor in it and this book had me laughing out loud multiple times. And the Horsemen….
HOT DAM!!!!! Each one is different so you can have your cake and eat it to!!
I can’t wait for book two!
Ms. Littleton weaves a world that is unique and believable. Her new take on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is fantastic. I’m just a little in love with Death!
Death
The Horseman Series 1
Lila Rose & Justine Littleton
I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him.
The four horsemen have always held a morbid fascination for me and this book takes this fascination to a whole new level.
We have an awesome cast of characters in the four horsemen:
Conor AKA Conquest the manwhore prankster.
Dean AKA Death the fun carefree one.
Warren AKA War the broody and angry one.
Falcone AKA Famine the quiet book nerd.
Then there is the fifth brother, the mistake, Kayne AKA Decay. The brother that had turned crazed, afflicted with his own gift of balance.
Their last name of Apocalos to me is a brilliant idea.
Warren runs the detective agency they all work for; and when there is a major train accident with a lone survivor Dean has a puzzling need to go against Warren’s orders and not go to the accident site. Dean’s ability to talk to, see and feel the dead is needed at the site but his need to go to the survivor’s is puzzling. For centuries they have heard the stories that they had a mate out there; but that was a centuries old tale they held no hope of coming true.
As the brothers search for the cause of the “accident” we experience some humor, paranormal activity, inventive tie ins to the story of the four horsemen and some great storytelling.
The book flowed well, had good character development and has me eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next book.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book I was drawn in right away and once started I could not put it down I cannot wait to find out what is next for these brothers and to find out what is Fallon’s part because there has to be some important part up with Fallon and I can’t wait to find out. Read the book and find the clue into what I’m saying…Again I recommend this book…Excited for more.
