Meh 🤷🏼‍♀️ Banter was good in spots but the ending was too abrupt and dialogue bordered on cheesy at times. And yes, I’ll be reading the next one.

All I have to say is this book is freaking amazing. It popped up at random on Amazon and the title and book cover art just jumped out at me. Read the blurb and was intrigued, so I bought the physical book as a treat to myself, and a treat to myself it was indeed.

I am so ready to dive into book two and find out what happens next because freaking cliffhangers. The MFC is one lucky woman because the 4 supernatural men that she is in the wellness center with are glorious in every way, shape and form. The spice, the plot and story. All of it served hot!!

If you haven't checked this book out yet, make sure you add it to your TBR and thank me later

Total Star rating 4.5/5
I am so excited for the rest of Death's apocalypse plan! This was a great introduction to the cast of characters for this segment of The Mate Games. I love the new setting of Blackwood Asylum. It's dark and creepy, while also being peaceful beautiful. I really have no idea where the plot is going for this series and I can't wait to be surprised in the next three books. I'm very much obsessed with our dragon shifter Kai, but Tor probably comes in a close second. Hook and Cain still have to grow on me. The banter, comedy, and make me blush moments were perfect.
Doing an immersive read with the audiobook was absolutely the way to go. Stella Hunter, Samantha Brentmoor, JF Harding, John Hartley, Jason Clark, and James Joseph did a phenomenal job in this multi-cast narration. If you want to swoon over some growly deep voices this is a must listen.

Ever wonder what would be like if you fell into some of the fantasy stories you read? Thats what this book is, just like you fell into all of the romantasy books at once and i loved every moment of it! And so much spice 🌶🌶🌶🌶 . Once i started this,i couldn't put it down and nearly finished the whole thing in 1 day. I'm so eager for the next book.

3.5/5. Not a bad book but not great. For a story that was supposed to be about Tor it didn’t have a lot of him or his POV in it. The end was also a little confusing bringing in Death’s POV randomly. Maybe book 2 will be better.

I listened to the audio books and what an immersive rollercoaster, laugh out loud series. Auditory perfection. Addictive and engaging with never a dull moment. Reverse harems are not normally my thing, but this series is highly recommended.

It's not extremely spicy, but it's a good story. Series has a lot of potential, and I'm excited to see what the 2nd book has to offer.

Having a full cast narration with great narrators made the book so much fun to listen too. A great range of characters with funny personalities (although they don't think they are funny.)

I’m sorry, four hot men after one girl? Yep works for me!

A vampire, a witch, a wolf and a sexy priest who watches while she gets slammed by another man?

Uh yep! Book 2 please..

I absolutely love this series! I found myself giggling at times and my heart racing at others. I didn’t realize I came into this series 3rd set it. I’m so excited to go back and start over. (After I read the new release because I am HOOKED!) I absolutely love my monsters! It’s got a little bit of everything in it! Love, romance, serial killers, there’s no shortage of trouble they get into! I highly recommend it!
