The Mate Games: Apocalypse #1
Sin: The Mate Games
I always thought I’d start the apocalypse. Instead I’ve been asked to help end it.
How does one stop the end of the world, you might ask? You gotta knock up Lucifer’s vessel before he does.
I know, I know. I was surprised too. But let me tell you, if ever there was an incubus made for the job, it’s me.
With a name like Sin, you’d think this should have been the easiest task I’d ever been assigned. And you’d be correct. Except said vessel is a beautiful and dangerously powerful succubus in her own right. Oh, and she’s not interested.
Not in me or any of the other horsemen who were assigned to protect her. Yup, that’s right. The four horsemen of the apocalypse are back.
War
Pestilence
Famine
Death
She may not be our biggest fan, but one of us has to be her baby’s daddy. Which is why she’s been forced to live with us until we get the job done. We’ve never been very good at sharing. Or at saving things instead of destroying them, but when you know who calls in a favor, you don’t say no.
The Doomsday clock is ticking, so save the world it is.
Now if only we could get Merri to play ball. Because if we don’t find a way to get her pregnant before he does, then it’s not just the end of us. It’s the end of everything.
For fans of Supernatural and American Horror Story, USA Today bestselling authors Meg Anne and K. Loraine are thrilled to bring you the final installment in the Mate Games Universe.
The Mate Apocalypse is a spicy paranormal series featuring morally gray heroes whose methods of protection aren’t always above board. Not that you can expect much honor from a celibate recluse, an incubus rockstar, the original shadow daddy, and a grumpy ex-Spartan. They are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, after all.

✅ Multiple POVs
✅ Reverse Harem
✅ Smut
✅ Merri
✅ Brief apparitions of characters from previous series
✅ Pace
✅ Forced proximity
✅(🆗) Plot
✅🆗 Horsemen
❗️❗️Cliffhanger
❗️❗️This series is part of the Mate Games universe, and I recommend reading the 3 other series (War, Pestilence, and Death) first to fully understand what is happening and the connections between the characters.
The Apocalypse is there, and now the gangs from all 3 previous series need to unite to try and stop it before Lucifer can take over the Earth. A few chapters show us what they are up to, but most of the book focuses on Merri and the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse. After having been used by the horsewoman Death, they are angry and weakened, and tasked by Lilith with the protection of Merri. If Lucifer finds her, he will be able to create the Antichrist by getting her pregnant. The Horsmen need not only to keep Merri hidden and safe, but also to get her pregnant before Lucifer can.
The plot was not the most elaborate, but as usual, the books in the Mate Games series are fast paced, sexy, and addictive. The first half felt a little weaker, since it was mostly about Merri meeting the horsemen and coming to terms with the fact that she was to stay with them, but the pace and action picked up in the second half. Overall, it was still an addictive book, and I flew through it.
Merri is easy to love. We were introduced to her in the previous series (The Mate Games: Death). She resided at Blackwood for a while and crossed paths with Dahlia. I like that she tried her best to get to know the horsemen, it was actually what most of the plot was about. She had some sweeter moments with the reclusive Grim, and she let herself loose with Sin since he is an incubus, and understands what she is going through when she needs to feed. That being said, I still feel that the relationships between her and the guys remain pretty shallow and based mostly on physical attraction.
The four horsemen are intriguing, but also a little disappointing. First, their personalities are all very similar, except maybe for Sin, who has a younger, more jovial vibe to him. The other three felt pretty much the same, and I struggled to differentiate Chaos and Malice for most of the book. Grim set himself apart because of his death touch and the fact that he stayed hidden for most of the book, but the other 2 were pretty much interchangeable.
Cole is intriguing, and I wonder if he will become more important in the series. He is sweet and kind, but a part of me can’t help but wonder if he is trying to con Merri, playing the long game, or if he is working with/for Lucifer. I guess we’ll see…

AAAAAAH THE LAST MATE GAMES SERIES IS FINALLY UPON US FRIENDS, AND THE STAKES ARE HIGHER THAN EVER!!
First thing's first, Operation PUFFIN. Yes. BIIIG YES. Possibly the funniest chapters in the book, and we got to see the other players as a cherry on top. The first two recording sessions, I didn't think we'd see more than a few total, but the third one really blew me away, my heart is full, I missed them all so much.
Second, SHANE EAST. The narrator who became my fav the moment I first listened to Meg Anne's solo books has a main role in this epic series??? To say I'm happy would be an understatement. He's the perfect addition to the Mate Games cast, so it's no wonder I've been favouring a certain character.
Third, Crombie. You already know I love him and he'll get a shoutout any time I see him. I love his dynamic with Lilith AND Sinclair. He'll never fail to make me laugh.
Ok now, the actual stars of the show, Merri and the infamous Horsemen of the Apocalypse!! I feel like I've been waiting to meet the four Horsemen forever and now that I have...I'm in love with all of them. Oopsie.
Am I jealous of Merri? Yes. Would I take her place in a heartbeat? Also yes.
The Horsemen are tasked not only with protecting Merri, but also with preventing someone else from sinking their claws into her. But you know, after those beach dreams, I wouldn't blame Merri if she fell for his charms.
Merri is such a great character to follow, because she's a succubus with a ravenous appetite, raised by auntie Lillith, who cams in order to feed. So what's gonna happen when she's stuck in a penthouse with her new "bodyguards" you ask? Chaos. Hah, I had to.
The tension was perfect, and the scenes where the Horsemen "helped" our dear girl to feed were simply delicious.
I said I love all four of them, but Grim is my fav, surprise surprise. I am also partial to Luc. Yes, look at me, falling for the bad guy (again). Even if Merri doesn't somehow end up with all five of them (or six, Cole, anyone?), I'm along for the ride.
Speaking of Cole, I do have ~ theories ~. I don't think he'd have as much interaction with Merri if he wasn't important, or someone we'll be introduced to later. Or maybe it's someone we already know? Either way, he's suuuper sweet, I'd love to see more of him. Also, I feel bad for him because at least twice, from what I remember, his private session with Merri was cut short. Let my man live!!
But other than that, I don't know which of the Horsemen is going to succeed in their "mission" and stop the Apocalypse, I can't predict it. Maybe it'll be all four, wouldn't that be something? They are supernaturals, after all.
Bonus points for Andi, who seems like a true gal pal, and that Cerberus cameo, I DIED, I WAS LITERALLY ON THE FLOOR, I wasn't expecting that. It's actually even funnier when you remember whose voice Sin was imitating that one time. Full circle moment.
The ending was obviously a cliffhanger, I am panicking as we speak. What a way to leave us hanging, you gotta love Kim and Meg.
Lastly (because I saw a few people read this book only), please go back to the first Mate Games book, and read the whole universe from the beginning. It's so much better to start there and have all the context rather than just jumping into this one.

TROPES:
why choose
RH
4 horsemen of the apocalypse
succubus FMC
(ALC review) This was book 1 in the final installment of The Mate Games.
Merri, our FMC is a Succubus with a bit of a hard time being around men and not feeding. She feeds off of pleasure and the one time she slept with someone they passed away. From that point on she used camming as a way to feed. Her caretaken Lilith knows a little something about her and that she is in danger, so she has the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse look out for her, sorry of like her bodyguards. They are also tasked with something quite important...impregnate her before the devil can!!
This of course ended on a cliffy and holy crap how I need book 2!
The narration of course was phenomenal as usual! Full cast and glorious!
(Stella Hunter, Shane East, Jason Clarke, JF Harding, James Joseph, Teddy Hamilton, Christian Fox, and Laura Landa)

• Thoughts:
I mean, really, this book was EXCELLENT! From the introduction to the epilogue (yes, it ends on a cliffhanger), I was glued to this book! It was so good. I have loved this world that Meg and Kim have built! Like this is a series I could listen to over and over again! I am absolutely in love with Sin, Chaos, Mal, and Grim. Merri is awesome. Each have their own unique personalities that just flow together flawlessly. Merri is going to steel the show. Her personality is fun and spunky, and she is going to grow so much in these next few books. I can't wait. Getting to know these characters is a treat. My mind is working a million miles a minute trying to figure out what is going on, who I need to be suspicious of, and what is connected. I am telling you. The number of times I have stopped what I was doing to just sit and focus on this book. (Not that it was a bad thing, oh no!) I basically did nothing while this book was playing. Lol and when it was over. I am pretty sure I yelled. NOOOO! I wanted to immediately start book 2. HAHA. but sadly, I will have to wait.. again. I am glad to wait! If I haven't mentioned it, add this to your TBL! It does need to be read in order. I will accept thank yous when you devour them and are left in a book hangover... I'll say it now. You're welcome.
NARRATOR THOUGHTS:
•Duet Narration and a full cast
•Listening at a 1.5 speed.

This entire cast totally nailed it! But of course they were. You should not be surprised! Everyone was fantastic!!!! They all did such an amazing job! Each was cast perfectly. Le sigh!!! I just know this installment of the Mate Games is gonna be epic!!! Go quick add to your TBL. You will not be disappointed. This is a top read for me this year

I’m so addicted to this universe. Each series keeps getting better and better. I’m loving all four of the horsemen and the narration. Normally I’m not the biggest fan of Jason Clarke and Shane East. When they narrate younger MMC’s with their overly deep voice it just doesn’t fit. BUT for these MMC’s god their voices match the age and 🔥🔥🔥🔥. I’m new to these authors so I’ve been able to binge since all the prior books are out. To say I’m dying that I have to wait until April is an understatement 😭
Beware of the cliff hanger I literally yelled WTF. Lol

This was spicy, hilarious, and had a really fun plot.
I did a tandem listen and read through on this one, because I couldn’t skip a multicast duet style narration that included Teddy Freaking Hamilton! The voice talent was excellent, I was impressed by everyone that worked on it. And the story!!! The story was so good. I finished it all in one go. I highly recommend this to anyone that likes angsty PNR and spicy books!

I have been impatiently waiting for the Apocalypse! If you know me, you know I can never stop talking about The Mate Games. I’m trying to get all my friends to listen and it’s slowly working.
Anything Meg and Kim write, I will read. They are the Queens of Why Choose!
This is book one and I already have some theories and ideas of what’s happening. I’m really enjoying this series already. Peek chapter 7 btw. 👀 I’m a very small character mention!
Every single narrator is a beast in this series. They are the reason why I ALWAYS listen. They really bring all the characters to life and they deserve all the praise!
Thank you Meg and Kim for the ALC!

I have to start out by saying the updates by Remi, Asher and other characters in related series had me dying laughing. So funny.
Merri (FMC) is a contradiction of a character I thought. Yes she's a succub so seduction should be second nature to her and in a way it is but because of events that have happened in her life it's made her guarded about herself. There was also a sweetness about her that I found endearing. It came out more with her dynamic with the guys/her protectors. Swoon my word, did they all steam together and it was hotter than hell. Pun intended! That cliff-hanger ending was just naughty. I'll be on tenterhooks until the next book comes out now.

ALC: The Mate Games: Apocalypse book 1
Sin
Not even 24 hours later and I finished this masterpiece.
I've said it more than once and I'll scream it again, if you haven't started your Mate Games journey, do yourself a favor and start!
Book 1 is jammed packed with narrators and characters, including some cameos.
I was in a bit of a book slump this month, but once I got the notification in my email, I knew what needed to be done.
We finally get to meet the four original Horseman. Since Death (the lady version) started the apocalypse, the boys are not too happy. Especially when they are given a task to stop it by impregnating the next vessel, Merri.
Within a few chapters my theories have already started to spin and it made me so excited to be back.
Also, hearing all of our past men in one chapter had me kicking my feet.
Thank you Kim Loraine and Meg Anne for allowing me to review.
5⭐
3🌶️...this will heat up as the books continue

I was in a bit of a book slump this month, but once I got the notification in my email, I knew what needed to be done.
We finally get to meet the four original Horseman. Since Death (the lady version) started the apocalypse, the boys are not too happy. Especially when they are given a task to stop it by impregnating the next vessel, Merri.
Within a few chapters my theories have already started to spin and it made me so excited to be back.
Also, hearing all of our past men in one chapter had me kicking my feet.
Thank you Kim Loraine and Meg Anne for allowing me to review.

Welcome to the Apocalypse.
I liked Merri as the MFC, she's sassy and has a bright personality despite some trauma. I love that, without really trying, she has the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse on their toes, waiting for whatever she throws them next. Merri is simultaneously innocent and worldly, a wildcard. The guys fall hard even if they don't want to admit it. Somehow she's gotten past those grumpy exteriors and found the person they buried underneath. I liked Sin's personality the best, he reminded me of a puppy with all that playful energy. If I had to group him with the others, I would say he would get along perfectly with Kingston and Remy, they have the same energy.
I am telling you the mixed media used in The Mate Games as a whole has been one of the things I enjoyed the most about the series, and the tradition continues in Apocalypse. The recordings were hysterical, I never laughed so hard. There was more humor throughout the book, but nothing topped those transcripts. Everyone was together, and between Kingston and Remi, gods, I had tears leaking from my eyes. Along with the recordings, there were chat group threads and DMs between Merri and others. This is my first read where there was a camgirl, let alone as the MFC, and let me tell you it was an experience. It's not just a small part of the story, Merri's a succubus and it was intricate to her survival, as a way to feed. It was a genius, a totally new take on things. The plot was mostly setting up Merri and the guys, there were hints of the bigger plot with the horsewomen and Lucifer, which makes me really excited about the upcoming books, especially after the final two chapters.
This book had everything. Grumpy alphaholes who don't know a good thing when they kidnap it, a cheeky MFC who knows how to use her power, tension, drama, and humor. I got that random Seinfeld quote that was thrown in. Sin was absolutely marvelous and an excellent start to Apocalypse.

This audiobook is like a party in your ears!
When I saw that this audiobook was paranormal and apocalyptic, with a full cast narrating in duet style, I ran! Often, when I see the word "apocalyptic," my mind immediately goes to places like dark, sad, and intense. While the ending was intense (that cliffy!), this book is not sad or really dark. It was fun, and sometimes so unserious! So, if you pick this book up, go in with those expectations, and you won't be disappointed.
Sin: The Mate Games is a new series spinoff from these authors series: The Mate Games. I did not read or listen to that series prior to listening to this audiobook, and while I believe that listening to those books prior to this one would have enhanced my listening experience, it didn't stop me from enjoying this audiobook. My favorite parts were the way that the vlogs were produced—it felt like graphic audio and I thought it was incredibly clever. I also loved the concept of a succubus heroine in a reverse harem with the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. LIke,come on. A reverse harem with a succubus heroine is just a good idea, and I liked it.
This audiobook is fast-paced, and the narration is perfect. I loved each and every cast member.
If you're a sucker for reading order, I would suggest starting with Obsession.
Thank you, Must Love Audio, K. Loraine, and Meg Anne for the Advance Listening Copy of Sin: The Mate Games. All opinions are my own and I voluntarily left this review.

Narration 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧
I’m so happy to be back in the Mate Games world! This is one of my most absolute favorite worlds to immerse myself in, and with narration cast and duet style, it makes the whole experience just next level. This is the first book in the fourth series in the Mate Games world and if this is your first experience, I highly recommend going back and starting with the War series. It’s not necessary, but definitely recommended as there are cameos from the previous characters that pop up and getting to know their personalities and relationship dynamics will really help.
As far as Sin goes, this was a great starter to the new series! It was a bit of a slower burn than the previous series, which I kinda like, especially for a series where the 4 horsemen are tasked to knock our girl Merri up before Lucifer does. And as a very powerful succubus, you think she’d be all about the spicy times, but due to some past trauma, she has written off physical intimacy so camming is how she feeds. I can’t wait to see how this series will evolve. I already have theories brewing and can’t wait to see if any of them are correct!

Now that's how you start a new series!! Sin was so good. This is the newest installment in The Mate Games. When Sin a.k.a. Sinclair/Famine is asked to end the apocalypse, he thought he would be the one to start it. However, to do this he must knock up Lucifer's vessel before he does. Sin believes it will be the easiest task he'll ever do, but the vessel is a beautiful succubus and she's not interested in any of the four horsemen. Now they're hit with a dilemma they weren't expecting.
In the previous books it had been hinted that the apocalypse was coming. In this newest book, Sin and the other horsemen have their work cut out for them. Merri was an interesting character. Besides her being a succubus she was also a cam girl. It helped with her sexual desires and her need for power. I loved how confident she was in her own skin. The four horsemen each had a different dynamic with Merri. I also loved the cameos and loved the character development.
Most recently I listened to the audiobook, twice actually. It's that good. Performed in duet by a full cast. Stella Hunter as Merri, JF Harding as Sin, Shane East as Grimsby, James Joseph as Malice, Jason Clarke as Chaos, Teddy Hamilton as Asher and Christian Fox as Remy/Lucifer. This full cast is outstanding in this book. They embodied their characters. Brought out all the emotions including in the more intimate scenes. They were perfect! Christian Fox is the newest addition to the cast. He does an amazing British accent. I loved his scenes. They were funny and very on par with Lucifer. The book does end on a cliffhanger. It has me super excited for the next book!! I can't wait!!

I cannot express enough how thrilled I am about the Mate Games universe! The opportunity to explore anything crafted by Meg and Kim truly excites me. Their witty dialogue and clever one-liners have brought me endless laughter, masterfully blending humor with exceptional narration. The slow-burn romance offers an enchanting journey that leaves me longing for more, and when the conclusion arrives, it feels like a heartfelt farewell that comes all too soon. I eagerly anticipate the next installment, as I am truly captivated by this remarkable world and can hardly wait to delve deeper into its wonders! The talented voices of Stella Hunter, J.F. Harding, Jason Clarke, James Joseph, and Shane East bring the audiobook to life. Their duet narration creates a deeply immersive listening experience.
Stella’s sultry voice perfectly aligns with Merri’s complex character—her vulnerability and charm make her utterly irresistible. J.F. introduces an uplifting and confident tone that embodies Sin, skillfully mixing flirtation with charisma. Jason’s signature grumpy growl captures the fierce spirit of Chaos, resonating with intensity and raw energy. James’s refined British accent elegantly conveys Malice’s guarded arrogance, giving depth to the character’s personality; Shane’s brooding presence hauntingly embodies Grimsby’s dark and gloomy nature. Meanwhile, Christian Fox’s portrayal of Lucifer strikes a compelling balance of arrogance and menace, leaving a lasting impression. The supporting cast also shines brightly, featuring delightful cameos from many of my beloved characters within the Mate Games series; these cameos enrich the overall experience and immerse me even further into this enchanting universe.

THIS WAS SO FREAKING GOOD!!!!
I have been so excited for this audiobook - I love this entire universe the authors have created and couldn’t wait for the next installment.
Everything about this audiobook is epic - from the characters to the plot to the ridiculously good narration, I could listen to this cast read me an encyclopedia I would be obsessed.
Mal, Chaos, Sin and Grim are the most eccentric, grumpy, OTT horsemen I could ever imagine. Merri our FMC is a succubus cam girl. I loved their chemistry how we get to know each character and they have such distinct personalities.
This ends on a cliffy - I can’t wait for the next book!

5 star narration 3 star story.
I have listened to hundreds of audiobooks and I would say that this is probably the best team of narrators I've heard.
The editing is excellent, the voices are spot on, everybody obviously enjoys the characters that they are playing, people are doing their accents and actually staying in character - it's great!
The banter is excellent and you will laugh out loud.A lot. If you're familiar with the series and you should be by this point - you'll know what I'm talking about.
Major con for me is that this is a weak story. It's also short!
While they are a brotherhood, there isn't that connection and humor that is in the other series. The guys are all doing their own thing as is Mary.
Maybe it'll come in the next book. glad I got this one on sale

An amazing beginning to the end of the world.
While I'm sure my complete obsession to this entire series colors my opinion, this was a truly fun read. Watching each of the four horsemen slowly succumb to their feelings without even realizing it was an utter delight. I especially love how hot Chaos burns with need. And Grim...omg, Grim. I know we shouldn't pick favorites, but his deep longing for her makes me melt. I cannot wait for book two.

4 horsemen, an succubus, and a plot to save the world. The horsemen must get Mary pregnant in order to save the world. There just one problem, she’s a celibate succubus. This book entertained me so much. It was sexy, spicy, funny, and the narration was perfection. I can’t wait to see what comes next after the cliffy.

“You heard her boys, stroke ‘em if you’ve got ‘em!”
I was SO happy to be back in this Mate Games universe!!! There is nothing else out there with narration and production quite like these miniseries within this bigger series! The full cast narration - where every SINGLE narrator is an absolute powerhouse - in duet style, with background sound effects!! It’s like you’re watching a movie with your earballs!
The characters are so well written, all with big distinct personalities, there is so much humor, so much longing and chemistry, with lots of twists and turns and drama! I’m gonna need everything to read these books, but I do suggest starting at the beginning because here in the final miniseries there are just SO many characters popping up and you might be a little bit lost. BUT SPLURGE AND LISTEN TO THEM!! You won’t be disappointed!!
I don’t want to say too much about the characters or the storyline because it’s all very spoilery, but I loved it and CANNOT wait for the next three books!! (Omg that cliffhanger?! Gimme gimme gimme a look behind the curtain, can I please have the first few chapters of the next book so I can know if you know who is ok?!?!)
Must Love Audio are the best, the GOAT, the bee’s knees! Thank you for the ALC!! I loved it so much!!

My phenomenal paranormal duo starting things off with a bang!! Delicious morally grey men who are doing their best not to but I know they will fall harder than hard for their sassily sweet Merri. Buckle up because this is about to be a hell of a ride!!
After the previous events of the prior books, Sin is chock full of tension. It only intensified with each turn of the page.
Things were sizzling in more ways than one…until things took a turn for the shocking.
Oh hell to the no!! My heart was and still is in my throat where it’ll remain until I get answers!!
Kim and Meg, IKYFL!!
THIS is how you are starting the beginning of series?! We doing like this in book one!????
Nope. I refuse, refuse to believe what I’ve just read. I will be sitting here patiently impatiently waiting in disbelief on the absolute edge until book two.
Per usual, the audio was freaking spec👏🏾ta👏🏾cu👏🏾lar!👏🏾
Kim and Meg assembled powerfully talented narrators in a full cast in duet narration that took this story to the highest of heights.
Stella Hunter, Jason Clarke, J.F. Harding, James Joseph, Shane East, Teddy Hamilton, Christian Fox and Lauren Landa. And the cameos, laaaaawd just too too good!! Chef’s kiss perfection!!🤌🏾💋

3.5/5 🌶️ (it was a lot of build up, I’m expecting the next ones to be explosive 🥵)
This was the best audio production I’ve EVER listened to!!! 👏🏼
I’m absolutely kicking myself over not having got into this series sooner! Literally 20 seconds into it and I was already smiling like a goofball.
The comedy intertwined in the story is so incredibly well done I don’t think I’ve ever had so much absolute fun listening to an audiobook, this was truly so unique and I finally understand why everyone is so obsessed with the mate games
I did stupidly start on this audiobook (and rightfully got told off for it by my friends) but I was having such a good time with it I couldn’t bring myself to stop, so my mission now is to absolutely inhale all 15 or so of the previous books 🤣
🎧 The performances by every single narrator was like a masterclass in voice work, I’ve honestly never been so gagged 🙌🏼 the scenes were Merri was doing her cam work had me laughing so hard at all the different accents for each of her patrons from the site
I absolutely cannot wait for the next audiobook, it’s immediately getting marked in the calendar. I can’t recommend this series enough consider me a stan 🫶🏻

For full review: https://wordsoftheroses.com/2025/02/0...
“Snow White at least has different personalities to go with her seven roommates. I got stuck with the grump brigade.”
I will start by saying that I was given an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review. Thank so much Kim & Meg for sending a copy my way!
I couldn’t think of a better way to start 2025 than to read a new Mate Games book. Sin has the signature spice and wild plot I’ve come to know and love from the series. I can’t wait to see how this story plays out.
After the event of The Mates Games: Death, the four horsemen, now free, seek retribution for their mistreatment. What better way to disrupt the balance of power than by joining the force of good and helping stop the apocalypse? All they must do is knock up Lucifer’s vessel before he does. Simple, right? The Horsemen are assigned to protect Merri–the vessel–which creates the perfect forced proximity opportunity to get the job done. However, despite being a succubus, Merri has taken a vow of celibacy so they will need to woo her to achieve their goal. Queue the chaos.
I always appreciate how sex-positive Meg Anne and K. Loraine made their books. Both Sin and Merri need to feed on sexual energy as they are an incubus and a succubus. If either don’t feed, they end up getting sick. This leads to some interesting group scenes. I know the feelings will develop once our broody horsemen stop huffing and realise that she is perfect for them. This is always a fun part of The Mate Games romances.
I love the cameos from the characters from the previous Mate Games series via Operation Pffn. Our resident hacker, hermit and puffin enthusiast, Asher has started a radio broadcast to reach out to the other characters to share information so they can try to stop another apocalypse. I loved it when we get cameos from the other characters. It was a beautiful touch.
I listen to Sin on audio, which is my favourite way to consume the series. The narrators do an absolutely fantastic job of bringing these characters and this world to life. Shout out to Stella Hunter, Shane East, JF Harding, Jason Clarke, James Joseph, Teddy Hamilton and Christian Fox for their amazing performances. I always get a kick out of any changes they make to the audio production. For example, the Operation PFFN interludes are slightly distorted to mimic the sound quality of a radio broadcast. That attention to detail is incredible. This is why The Mate Games series will always be my favourite audiobooks.
I flew through Sin. I almost dived straight into a reread. I know I should come to expect a cliffhanger ending, but wow, this one just hit differently.

The Horsemen are assigned to protect Merri–the vessel–which creates the perfect forced proximity opportunity to get the job done. However, despite being a succubus, Merri has taken a vow of celibacy so they will need to woo her to achieve their goal. Queue the chaos.
I always appreciate how sex-positive Meg Anne and K. Loraine made their books. Both Sin and Merri need to feed on sexual energy as they are an incubus and a succubus. If either don’t feed, they end up getting sick. This leads to some interesting group scenes. I know the feelings will develop once our broody horsemen stop huffing and realise that she is perfect for them. This is always a fun part of The Mate Games romances.
I love the cameos from the characters from the previous Mate Games series via Operation Pffn. Our resident hacker, hermit and puffin enthusiast, Asher has started a radio broadcast to reach out to the other characters to share information so they can try to stop another apocalypse. I loved it when we get cameos from the other characters. It was a beautiful touch.
I listen to Sin on audio, which is my favourite way to consume the series. The narrators do an absolutely fantastic job of bringing these characters and this world to life. Shout out to Stella Hunter, Shane East, JF Harding, Jason Clarke, James Joseph, Teddy Hamilton and Christian Fox for their amazing performances. I always get a kick out of any changes they make to the audio production. For example, the Operation PFFN interludes are slightly distorted to mimic the sound quality of a radio broadcast. That attention to detail is incredible. This is why The Mate Games series will always be my favourite audiobooks.
I flew through Sin. I almost dived straight into a reread. I know I should come to expect a cliffhanger ending, but wow, this one just hit differently.

I am so in love with the Mate Games universe! I am obsessed with the way the Apocalypse series is playing out and this is only book one. I know and trust that Kim and Meg are going to make me fall in love with every character (I am already fully on my way).
THE AUDIOBOOK! Are you kidding? The way the audiobooks are done for this world are everything to me. Full cast of favorite narrators, sexy accents, what more could you want?
I am so excited for the next three books to come out the cliffhanger at the end of this one was crazy!
Sin releases in all formats January 27th!
