A fun and unique take on the Four Horsewomen
RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥 I had so much fun reading G.H. Brookhorn's debut novel. It introduces us to the Four Horsewomen sent by the Goddess on separate missions to retrieve a human critical to their subsequent mission. The book is divided into four novellas as we follow each Horsewoman on their individual mission. I love the Horsewomen's relatable quirks and how they engage with the man they were tasked to retrieve. Who would have thought that War is a true believer of Edna Mode's philosophy on capes? That Death is a Twihard AND Team Jacob? That Pestilence likes to chat on message boards about Disney Princesses? Or that Famine cannot resist a good adult shop? Each Horsewoman's story is a novella that comes together at the end. Because each story is a quick read, there is an element of instalove, but G.H. Brookhorn maintains a great and entertaining pace. It does end on a cliffhanger, but even though I am not a big fan of those, the stories were wrapped up well enough and I felt like the cliffhanger is more a setup for the next book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Really Fun Story!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2022

    I want to begin this book review of The Four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse by admitting that I had a feeling I was going to enjoy this story by G.H. Brookhorn. I had read her descriptions of her story on IG, and I was fairly confident her story would be right up my ally. I love a story with strong female lead characters. I’m always on the lookout for stories that feature women in MC positions. In the author’s own words- “Expect swearing, fast burn steam, a spot of silliness and four fierce females.” She had me at ‘swearing.’

    This story starts with a bang. Without hesitation, this story captured my imagination right from the opening scene where the reader is introduced to a corrected version of history and meets the Horsewoman, War. There’s no slow buildup to this story. There doesn’t need to be. The pace of the narrative is fast and engaging immediately. G.H. Brookhorn’s fluid storytelling, combined with vividly described imagery, easily transports the reader into the new world she has built. All the while, the Horsewomen and their four human males engage in seriously entertaining banter as they work through various situations.

    The groundwork for book two is laid as the story progresses. Small reveals lead to a conclusion that left my imagination open to a wide variety of possibilities to come in the next book. This is clearly G.H. Brookhorn’s story to tell, though. I couldn’t have imagined such a fun and engaging story as she’s created here, so I’m just going to have to wait for book two to find out what happens to the Horsewomen.

    It was really so much fun to read this story. It’s not a YA story, but I highly recommend it to all adults looking for a fun book that promises an exciting part two.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully creative
    Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2022
    Really enjoyed this retelling (AS IT WAS TRULY MENT TO BE) of the "Horsemen (HORESWOMEN more like)" of the Apocalypse. I delighted in G.H. Brookhorn's interpretation of Famine, War, Death, and Pestilence. They were wonderfully contradictory to what most of us have in mind of who they are supposed to be, and it came together so perfectly. Seeing them instantaneously fall in love with their male counterparts had me swooning and giggling like a girl with her first crush. The Goddess (yep, we have been lied to about that too) knew what she was doing when she sent them on their top-secret missions. I can't wait for book 2 where we get our HEA and get to see Ms Brookhorn's interpretation of "the final Apocalypse."

    3.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing Revisionist History
    Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    For me, the most interesting part of this book was the idea of a feminist history and deities rewritten to promote the patriarchy. Social media as a disease was a nice touch, too. Neither feels impossible, though I felt plot was too often sacrificed for rushed romance, including any and all obstacles wiped out in mere pages to get onto more romance. I'll admit part of the blame here is mine because I'm a slow burn person which this definitely isn't, but all the meet cues felt like the same insta-lust despite the horsewomen's vastly different personalities. Even just a little more back and forth before jumping into the portal then the sack would have worked. I may still read the sequel for mere curiosity, and it was well-written with different personalities coming through.

    G.H. Brookhorn’s debut, a collection of four short, kickass stories, is a wild ride. Follow War, Death, Pestilence, and Famine—the REAL Horsemen… the FEMALE Horsewomen!—on their quests to find love. TFHoA is funny, witty, and an insta-love/fated mates feast. I was laughing out loud and digging these women. They are all so different, and their men are unique and interesting. I can’t wait to find out what happens in part two! It’s sure to have more snort-my-soda humor and spiiiiicy sex scenes, just like the first.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sassy retelling of the Apocalypse!
    Reviewed in Australia on May 20, 2022

    Who knew history got it wrong? G.H Brookhorn’s debut introduces us to four strong, feisty and sassy women, the four horsewomen of the apocalypse. For thousands of years, men have done their best to rewrite history, changing Goddess into God, horsewomen into horsemen.

    War, Death, Pestilence and Famine are not what you think, with War loving unicorns and Pestilence loving to debate about her favourite Disney princess. It was a clever twist that in this modern era Pestilence’s way to spread the plague was through social media

    “I loved to scroll the depths of social media and feed the trolls, spreading the plague of misfortune.”

    These women have been brought together by the Goddess to complete a mission and find one particular man (or man-sheeple according to War) to bring back and help them fulfil their assignment. These women are awesome, each finding their chosen man and falling instantly in love. Finding a giggly, flirty side of themselves they didn’t realise they had.

    My favourite one of the male characters would have to be Silas (G.H Brookhorn, you had me at “Holy Brian Molko” – Anyone who doesn’t know who he is just look up “Every You Every Me by Placebo). He and his PVC trousers that creaked as he and Famine were trying to do some stealth hunting were hilarious.

    The book is in five parts, the first four dedicated to one of the horsewomen, then the final one to the Goddess who reveals why she has brought them all together. Is there a cliffhanger? Yes. Am I busting for the second book – absolutely!

    This was filled with everything I love of well written strong characters and some sass, humour and steam! A fantastic debut and I cannot wait to read more from this author.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 1, 2022

    If you think you know the story of the four horsemen, think again. This is about four incredibly sexy, incredibly badass, incredibly female, horsewomen. I absolutely loved this fresh take on a well known concept and the fact the stories are short, extra spicy, and extra fun, makes them a page turner.
    Each horsewoman had a distinct, individual personality and so did the love interests which, given these are short stories, is testament to the author's writing. The overall story builds and hints with each horsewoman's short story and I cannot wait to see what happens next - I'm so happy the author is doing a follow up! Whilst the stories are short and focus on the steamy romance, the world building and overarching plot shine through for an interesting fantasy storyline.
    A must, must read if you want quick, spicy fun with sassy, intelligent women as leads!

    What if women were really in charge? This fun book explores just that. A female goddess and the four horsewomen of the apocalypse.

    I really enjoyed the whacky, kinda messed up horsewomen. They each have their own quirks. And their male companions were all hot, as was the action when they met up!

    Death who likes tie-dye? But of course. Famine who likes cooking? Why not? Don’t buy into the stereotypes – LOL.

    I was a teeny bit confused by their Greek and Roman God names, but hey, I just went with the flow.

    This is but book 1. We’re introduced to each deity and their partner in hilarious yet steamy action in this collection of short stories. And then we’re all queued up for the actual mission which will presumably take place in the next book.

    Lots of fun!

    The Four Horse Women of the Apocalypse is a collection of four kick ass short stories.
    Following Death, Pestilence, War and Famine as they are sent back to Earth to complete a mission given to them by the Goddess. Each must retrieve a man, and bring him back to the Goddess for further instructions. Although each story is standalone, they all come together at the end, and will leave you wanting more.

    As they are short stories, each HorseWomen experiences their own version of instalove, but the fast pace and storyline keeps you enthralled throughout. I absolutely adore the way at how Unique each Horsewomen was, especially Death. She was by far my favorite. A great Debut, and I can't wait to read the next installment.

    Quirky, Steamy, and Fun you will not be disappointed in grabbing this 5 * Read.

    I loved this! Delightfully different in every way, this is such a fun and funny collection of stories subverting popular tales. Every horsewomen is as unique as her mate (or mansheeple, as the case may be). The feminism rings strong through this one, but there are insightful comments on humanity at large dotted throughout with inimitable snark. Definitely excited for the next one. (And I'm not even a fast burn person.)
