Riders of the Apocalypse by Jackie KesslerI read this series awhile ago and just reread it. I forgot how much I enjoyed it. The story is about issues that teenagers face each day but with a twist. It is fast paced, edgy and brutally honest.
Each book and there are 4 in total deals with some tough subjects, here comes the twist, Death decides to make each one of the main characters one of the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse. In the first book, Hunger, 17 year old Lisabeth is Famine. She suffers from anorexia and is given a scale and rides out to dish out her own idea of justice.The second book, Rage, 16 year old Missy cuts herself to relieve all the rage she feels inside, so Death makes her War. She is armed with a sword and payback is on her mind. The third book, Loss, it is Pestilence. Billy is 15 years old and is his school's punching bad. He is bullied by everyone, armed with a bow Billy gets to exact his vengeance. In the fourth and final book, Breath, Death becomes so depressed that he is thinking about suicide. The other riders must help him find his way, if they don't the world will end.
This is only one of the books. They will all leave you breathless.
