Genres: YA, Paranormal
For eighteen-year-old Gideon Blake, nothing but death can keep him
from achieving his goal of becoming a U.S. Army Ranger. As it turns out, it
does.
Recovering from the accident that most definitely killed him,
Gideon finds himself with strange new powers and a bizarre cuff he can't
remove. His death has brought to life his real destiny. He has become War, one
of the legendary four horsemen of the apocalypse.
Over the coming weeks, he and the other horsemen--Conquest,
Famine, and Death--are brought together by a beautiful but frustratingly
secretive girl to help save humanity from an ancient evil on the emergence.
They fail.
Now--bound, bloodied, and drugged--Gideon is interrogated by the
authorities about his role in a battle that has become an international
incident. If he stands any chance of saving his friends and the girl he's
fallen for--not to mention all of humankind--he needs to convince the skeptical
government officials the world is in imminent danger.
But will anyone believe him?
My Thoughts
The
horsemen and YA? Sounds like a fantastic read, especially considering Veronica
Rossi’s name will be on it. I’m hoping this is kind of like Supernatural mixed with a darker version
of Rick Riordan’s books.
What
book are you waiting on this Wednesday?
This one is so high on my wishlist! I absolutely loved Under the Never Sky, so I can't wait to see what her next book has in store!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree! XD
DeleteI can't wait for this one either! Under the Never Sky was one of my favorites so I can't wait to finally read more by this author.

I feel like I read UtNS soooo long ago, but it's still a good dystopian series. I'm hoping Riders brings the Rossi reading experience to the next level. :)
