Roslyn Blackthorne is dead.
I should know, I watched it happen.
My twin and I didn’t believe we’d ever meet our mate, and then she showed up in our bar, and the world as we knew it changed. Fate hadn’t been kind to us. Not once. So it shouldn’t have come as a surprise that we lost her as soon as we claimed her.
I spent so much time worried about her manipulative demon, I didn’t anticipate it would be my own sordid past that killed her.
It was our fault. They should have blamed me and Remi. Instead, for the first time since Rosie turned our lives upside down, we are united:
Her vampire husband.
Her hybrid hacker.
Her alpha wolves.
I thought I’d give anything to see those amber eyes of hers again.
I was wrong.
So wrong.
Because the moment I got my wish, it wasn’t my sugar staring back at me. It was a monster.
And now I’ll never be the same.
Warning: The Mate Games: Pestilence is a spicy why-choose series that is sure to set your...heart...on fire. If you’re not a fan of grumpy dukes with a penchant for pain, purple demons with fancy body parts, nosy hackers with boundary issues, angsty wolf shifters who like to share, sword crossing, and plenty of group activities, this one’s not for you. But if it is...welcome back to The Mate Games, we’ve been waiting for you.

With this opus, we’re back on track with the apocalypse. Sure, Rosie’s relationships with her mates are still the main element of the story, but it’s now tightly connected with Pestilence’s plan to end the world. With Pan being at the center of it all. He spends the whole book manipulating or torturing Rosie’s other lovers, following his mother’s orders. But we also learn a bit more about him, his fears, his interests, his past, his family…
With the apocalypse progressing, we get more cameos from the previous series. And they aren’t just fan service.
All the participants in Rosie’s little harem have a rough time. She’s back after her death at the end of the previous book, and you can guess how she changed. Which affects mostly Ben, who has trouble accepting her as she is after his traumatic past, and Gavin, who’s in charge of teaching her the ways of her species. And with Pan possessing Asher’s body and not interested in anyone besides Rosie, Remi loses his other love, and we see that he can hide pain behind the flirty facade. After the kink fest in the previous book, we get an angst fest.
It’s still seasoned with tasty spice. The mates have finally realized that Rosie needs all of them, and it’s time to share.
Because balance is everything, we also get more gruesome moments. The plague is setting in, and the effects aren’t pretty. It’s also hanging as a threat over the characters’ head, as unlike any other illness, it can affect all species.
Since we see the other side of every character, the narrators got to play a wide range of emotions, and they did it perfectly. Bonus point to Bentley’s narrator, who was able to go from stuttering grumpy guy to growly alpha wolf, from swoony to sexy in half a millisecond. But they all did amazing. Great audio.
Can you imagine a book that shakes you?

I absolutely loved it and the humor was chefs kiss with Club Aubergine and the coconuts, need I say more!
The Duke is still my favourite as he just takes charge and gets everyone in line when he has to. Rosie on the other hand gets quite whingey on her guilt trips but hopefully will "man up" when she has to save the day!! The twins are as great as ever, but I can't even mention that dreadful Pan!
The narration is sublime and gets better and better and then ... to top it all ... we have the delicious Jason Clarke playing the juicy Irish Priest.
Can't wait for #4! Such a great series.
If you haven't tried it, what are you waiting for??
An excellent series!

The whole Pan body snatching Ascher, the pain he caused to Acsher by throwing him into memories he cut off, and the trouble and pain he caused to Remy and the town... oh, I can't help hate Pan. He's taken Gavins mantel in that prize.
Talking about Gavin, awww, and he's still snutty but less evil and more morally grey, but awwww, sweet his love for Rosie, he's embraced it, and it's so sweet. Although he is also still a top in scene, our Lord Gavin.
Remy, oh he and Kingston, I can just imagine them together bouncing their antics off each other's, and I would love to be there for that again. Remy was not just funny in this book. He was in pain, and I just wanted to hug him.
Ben, on the other hand, I wanted to slap and hug him, I understood his position, but I just wanted to slap his eyes open so he would come to his senses.
Although this book was filled with so much more pain and discomfort, it was also amped up with funny, cosy, and steamy moments.
Now book 4, because that ending was another cliffhanger of no don't do it! and oh dammmmmmnnn he is what, wait I knew that but he is what! and I'm ready for their HEA, Rosie deserves it. She's so far my favourite FMC in this series!
4.5 stars
Oh Pan, you silly demon!

This book starts off right with the scene that stopped our hearts in the last book and we get to breathe again. Or at least for a little bit. The emotions were swirling around in this next book. More questions were raised and more answers were found.
Oh my heart broke for Remi. He has always been so light hearted but whatever is up with Asher has him beaten down and he is held back from Rosie while she is transcending into her new self.
Gavin pulls the guys together for her. I’m warming up to this vampire more and more. And don’t get me started on Ben! Why it takes him so long to accept his mate after her change made me madder than I should have been. But thankfully he comes around.
Pan is wreaking havoc now more than ever. And his mother Pestilence is getting closer to her goal of creating the destruction of the world.
Rosie’s mates will need to help her find a way out of this nightmare situation that is brewing because we all want a happy ending.
The narration is off the charts again in this book. The whole series has held my heart and I can’t wait for the finale to come.
The series is so amazing. I laughed, cried and worried myself at every turn. Bring on the finale and let’s see how Rosie and her men get out of this mess.
Kim & Meg at their best!

In this penultimate book, James Joseph as Pan and John Hartley as Gavin really stood out, but this entire cast is just solid gold. Stella Hunter is just the woman to take on Rosie's band of merry men, including Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan as well. Plus the added cameo by Jason Clarke, reprising his role from The Mate Games; War series, was like icing on the audio cake!
If you love spicy, you'll love this latest listen!
