Book Description

Publication Date: September 29, 2009

Four women. Four shooters. Four destinies to save the world... The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are coming. And four Archangels must find the perfect champions to save the world: fighters, warriors, soldiers, and brave men, all ready to fight for humanity against end times. All they have to do is drink a shooter -- a caustic mix of alcohol and divinity that will imbue them with the conviction to battle the Four. The only problem is these warriors don't drink the shooters. Call it fate, chance, or what you will, but four women drink the divine concoction. Alexandra Carlton, Julia Wolfe, Emily Keller and Dinah Medrano must all take up the mantles of champions ... whether they want to or not. Four writers, four horsemen, four Women of the Apocalypse. The world will never be the same again.

This review is from: Women of the Apocalypse (Paperback)

This book has a very different premise. Archangels, all men, leave a guy (Tobias) on earth to warn them if the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse plan to destroy humanity. That guy is supposed to get four male champions to fight the horsemen. When four women drink the Four Horsemen shooters (and there's a recipe) and get empowered instead of the men, the angels aren't happy. Then the fun begins. Four very different stories, all with surprises. I was going to read one story each night. I read all four stories last night. This whole book is a very good read, every story. Angels aren't always what you think they are and neither are the horsemen. And I warn you, you might get your eyes opened about where famine will strike.
