It started when they stole me from my life. The daughter of a crime lord who ruled with an iron fist. The heir to a family of blood and ruin. They left only a whisper of a name in the air. Il Diavolo. A man whose reputation preceded him. Ruthless. Merciless. Cunning. The one they called the Devil. He was as beautiful as he was terrifying.

Or maybe I was the right one and none of us knew it quite yet.

The Four Horsemen. Gods reincarnated as men. Scarlett returned to the fold, but not as the girl we once knew. The girl I’d been obsessed with my whole life. The one I’d have given everything for.

Death. They call us the men who will drive the world to its knees. The Four Horsemen. A pity for them really. Prescott, West, Francis, and I are done with our masks of civility.

The power of hashtag activism became clear in 2011, when #IranElection served as an organizing tool for Iranians protesting a disputed election and offered a global audience a front-row seat to a nascent revolution. Since then, activists have used a variety of hashtags to advocate, mobilize, and communicate. In this book, Sarah Jackson, Moya Bailey, and Brooke Foucault Welles explore how and why Twitter has become an important platform for historically disenfranchised populations, including Black Americans, women, and transgender people.

It started with the war. The war we'd wage upon the very man who'd raised me. The war which would either tear us apart or keep us together. We'd finally found our way to each other. The five of us gave in. It'd been inevitable from the start. Desire had forged us, but it was love which set us free. Made us into what we were. A family drenched in blood.Everything had built up to this moment. Our final fight for survival. Our final battle against corruption.

It started when I chose to remain with them. The ones who took me from my life and changed all the rules. The chains binding me to my family loosened their hold. Little did I know that by taking me, Quinn and his friends began the long process of setting me free. And even as I got closer to the boys, the past always held us back. Keeping our feelings at bay. The questions plagued me. Where did my loyalties lie? Who could I trust? And the biggest one of all. Could I really go against everything I knew to be with the four people who kept me captive to use me against my father?

It started with an impossible choice. One I had no wish to make from a person I'd only just come to know. So many of our decisions had led up to this moment. Perhaps it was the way we'd come together which threw my life so off balance. Leaving me with the final say in a matter I wanted no part of. We had to draw up the battle lines. Change our fates. Or we'd all crash and burn. It wasn't a case of if we'd fight for survival, it was when. When would he come after us? When would he try to destroy us? When would he decide I wasn't worth saving any longer?

It started when they betrayed me. The ones who I'd come to trust. The ones I was starting to love. My world flipped upside down and nothing is as it seems. Everything was unravelling before my eyes, tearing us apart while pulling us closer together. I'm caught between two worlds. The one I grew up in and the one Id' started to forge with the boys. Everything came to a grinding halt when long hidden secrets came to light. The truth changed the rules and made us realize nothing in life is ever as it seems.

Listen to two broads who speak solely in quotes from their favourite shows and movies, whilst getting to grips with why these things have made such a significant impact on their lives (and vocabulary). Great shows and movies - even not so great ones - have inspired friendships, emotions, life quests globally, so why not sing their praises, whilst also picking out their shortcomings?
