Riders
Riders, Book 1
by Veronica RossiWebsite | Twitter | Goodreads
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?
Veronica Rossi's Under the Never Sky series was one of my favorites from 2014.
I thought her writing was brilliant and let's just be honest:
Perry is a MAN.
I also read the first book in her new adult series, Boomerang.
I am very excited for Riders.
I think it has the potential to be the next big series in YA!
If you haven't read Ms. Rossi's books yet, I highly recommend you do!
Yes - can't wait for this one!
