Tears of Pestilence: An Urban Fantasy Adventure (Ruby Morgan Book 4) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 21 ratings

WHEN TEARS TURN SCARLET, DEATH IS IMMINENT

My life is spinning out of control, and nothing is as I believed. While I am proud of Mum for creating a haven for injured and hunted Mags—I can’t face her, her secrets, or her lies.

Instead, I bury myself in studies, writing for The Whisper, working at the cinema, and adapting to my growing relationship with Brendan.

The world is becoming increasingly dangerous for anyone with magic in their veins. So, when a deadly virus threatens the whole Magical population, what can I say, all hell is about to break loose.

Again.

What readers are saying about TEARS OF PESTILENCE:

"
In a word WOW! This installment blew me away ... There are some very powerfully written scenes in this book, and one in particular that brought me to tears. It's a very rare writer that can bring that much emotion to a scene, and take the reader along for the journey.

"I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about fantasy."

"Omg! This book takes the reader on an epic emotional rollercoaster from the first chapter right up until the last page!"

"Another great story in this series so well written and I couldn't put it down the characters are fantastic and I cannt wait for book 5 to see what's in store next!🥰"

"Each book just gets better in this series, with more secrets being revealed every time and others merely hinted at. I love the world building, and the characters are becoming like old friends, each with their own quirks. I can't wait to see where the next instalment takes us! I highly recommend the whole series."

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

LJ Rivers is the pseudonym for a writing-duo of one older chap and one younger dame. Linn and Jørn are both from Norway, living on opposite corners of the country, so they rarely get to meet face to face. That doesn’t stop them from laughing together, crying together and creating as a team.

They started out as a team by creating the wonderful world of Ruby Morgan, an Urban Arthurian YA Fantasy series. Now, they are expanding into more Fantasy worlds, ready to entertain you with lots of spellbinding magic, twisted intrigue, exciting action, and maybe even a little bit of slow-burn romance.

They also write independently and Linn has published several books under her own and other pen names.

    The Ruby Morgan series just keeps getting better, and this installment keeps that trend going!

    BUT that said, I really enjoyed this particular story because Ruby and her friends have become almost like family, and it's always interesting to see how their relationships develop.

    With everything that Ruby has already discovered about her heritage the arrival of a new disease that targets Magicals while leaving humans alone could be what it takes to break her. Yet there are secrets beyond what she has already uncovered and unexpected allies. However, will the truth destroy her, and will those allies be there when she really needs them?

    There are some very powerfully written scenes in this book, and one in particular that brought me to tears. It's a very rare writer that can bring that much emotion to a scene, and take the reader along for the journey.

    At the time of writing this review, there is an world-wide pandemic going on, and it's possible that some people might find this book a little close to home at times.

    I am lucky enough to have been chosen for a review copy of Tears of Pestilence after I requested one, here are my thoughts on the book.

    Omg! This book takes the reader on an epic emotional rollercoaster from the first chapter right up until the last page!
    Ruby is back on top form again, along with her friends in this 4th book of the Ruby Morgan universe, continuing on from book 3 (Virtues of Purity).
    There's more than enough action in this magical instalment of the series to keep you turning the pages and not wanting to put the book down, and the feels?! Wow! I felt like I was right there, in the thick of the action, laughing, feeling the anger and the love felt by Ruby, Brendan, Charlie, Jen and a whole host of other characters L.J. brings to life throughout the pages.
    Cudos to the author's for yet another fantastic book! Itching to read what Ruby and the gang get up to next!

    Ruby and her friends are back and Ruby seems to find herself in trouble again. Fun to see Ruby closer to her friends and watch her relationship with Brendan grow with all the craziness happening around them. Add in the truths of her past Ruby learns and puts together and that pesky flu that is targeting non-pure Mags and a wild race has begun. I was entertained and had to keep reading to see what Ruby would learn and do next. And how she much trouble she could find.

    With fiction eerily mimicking life, Ruby Morgan finds herself in a race against time to save non-Pure Magicals from a deathly virus. But there are a few surprises along the way!

    Each book just gets better in this series, with more secrets being revealed every time and others merely hinted at. I love the world building, and the characters are becoming like old friends, each with their own quirks.

    I can't wait to see where the next instalment takes us! I highly recommend the whole series.

    The story line was okay and the book had a smooth flow to it. The character work was good. It was an entertaining book, but I was unable to connect to any of the characters.
