Riders of the Apocalypse series by Jackie Morse Kessler

Riders of the Apocalypse #1
“Thou art the Black Rider. Go thee out unto the world.”

Lisabeth Lewis has a black steed, a set of scales, and a new job: she’s been appointed Famine. How will an anorexic seventeen-year-old girl from the suburbs fare as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?

Traveling the world on her steed gives Lisa freedom from her troubles at home: her constant battle with hunger, and her struggle to hide it from the people who care about her. But being Famine forces her to go places where hunger is a painful part of everyday life, and to face the horrifying effects of her phenomenal power. Can Lisa find a way to harness that power — and the courage to battle her own inner demons?

Riders of the Apocalypse #2
Missy didn’t mean to cut so deep. But after the party where she was humiliated in front of practically everyone in school, who could blame her for wanting some comfort? Sure, most people don’t find comfort in the touch of a razor blade, but Missy always was . . . different. That’s why she was chosen to become one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: War. Now Missy wields a new kind of blade—a big, brutal sword that can cut down anyone and anything in her path. But it’s with this weapon in her hand that Missy learns something that could help her triumph over her own pain: control. A unique approach to the topic of self-mutilation, Rage is the story of a young woman who discovers her own power and refuses to be defeated by the world.

  Riders of the Apocalypse #3
  Fifteen-year-old Billy Ballard is the kid that everyone picks on, from the school bullies to the teachers. But things change drastically when Death tells Billy he must stand in as Pestilence, the White Rider of the Apocalypse. Now armed with a Bow that allows him to strike with disease from a distance, Billy lashes out at his tormentors...and accidentally causes an outbreak of meningitis. Horrified by his actions, Billy begs Death to take back the Bow. For that to happen, says Death, Billy must track down the real White Rider—who is lost in his memories.

Vai de mine, de cand vreau eu seria asta in Ro...!! Si a zis admin ca e posibil sa apara. :-?
[din cate imi amintesc eu, asta daca memoria mea scurta nu ma inseala]
Si prima oara mi-au placut copertile si titlu, apoi descrierea....
imi aduce mult aminte de Supernatural, banuiesc ca de asta m-a luat asa de tare valul dupa ea.

povestea este interesanta: copii cu probleme de adaptare care devin parte a uni razboi, suna dragut

imi plac la nebunie copertile, si n-as zice "nu" seriei. din descrieri, fiecare volum are cate un personaj principal in parte, nu?
