Grim: The Mate Games: Apocalypse, Book 4
I did the unthinkable and rejected the only woman who ever really wanted me. What else was I supposed to do when she was asking for a future that could never exist? Horsemen didn’t have souls. And if a future did exist for our kind, it was bathed in blood and unholy fire. Hardly the stuff dreams were made of.
Merri deserved more than nightmares. I thought I was saving her from such a fate, instead I’d unwittingly sent her flying into the arms of the one being I was supposed to protect her from. My wildflower was in Lucifer’s clutches, and we had no idea how to get her back.
My brothers blamed me for her absence, and rightfully so. I’d broken her heart as well as theirs in the process. The only way we’d stand a chance at bringing her home where she belonged was for the four of us to stand together and ride to her rescue.
Lilith chose us to be her protectors.
Chaos protected her body.
Sin protected her heart.
Malice protected her mind.
And I did all I could to protect her soul from anything that might harm it, including myself.
But we couldn’t carry out our mission without her. With the apocalypse looming ever closer, it was time for the four horsemen to do the impossible and use our considerable power for good. Otherwise all of this pain and heartbreak was for nothing and no one would ever get a chance at a happily ever after again.
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.

GRIM is the kind of audiobook that grips you and pulls you straight back into the shadows of the Mate Games: Apocalypse universe. Dark, atmospheric, emotional, and razor sharp — it’s everything I love about this series, amplified.
Performed in duet multicast by an exceptional core cast — Stella Hunter, Shane East, James Joseph, J.F. Harding, and Jason Clarke — supported by Teddy Hamilton and Christian Fox, with cameos from Aaron Shedlock, John Hartley, Lauren Landa, and Samantha Brentmoor — the audio experience is nothing short of cinematic. Every performance lands exactly where it should.
With the finale on the horizon, I’m nowhere near ready to let go. Meg Anne and K. Loraine continue to prove why they’re absolute masterminds in dark paranormal fantasy romance — their pacing, world-building, character development, emotional precision, the banter, the spice, and the twists remain unmatched.
Consider this whole review my love letter to them and to this cast.
We’ve waited years for Shane to step into this universe, and hearing him as Daddy Death feels like destiny — it’s the role he was made for and has perfected. He gives Grim(sby) this quiet gravity, this dangerous softness, this tenderness buried under centuries of shadow. It’s intimate, powerful, and absolutely unforgettable — the kind of performance that doesn’t just settle in your soul, it echoes.
And Grim has a lot to atone for. The danger surrounding Merri is intense, and you feel every beat of it. Meg and Kim build the tension with such precision, only to pull the rug out with a twist that even long-time readers absolutely will not see coming.
And Stella’s portrayal of Merri deserves its own moment. As a succubus, Merri carries sweetness and strength in equal measure — vulnerable without ever being fragile, warm yet powerful in ways she’s still discovering. Stella captures that balance with stunning nuance. She makes Merri feel grounded, emotive, and deeply human in the middle of all the chaos.
Then there’s Lilith and Crombie, whose dynamic continues to own every scene they’re in — I will never get enough of them and Shane and Stella’s performances.
The core cast is incredible. Stella remains the heartbeat of this universe, with Shane East, James Joseph, J.F. Harding, and Jason Clarke adding depth, intensity, and emotional weight that only a long-standing ensemble can create.
If you love dark paranormal romance, morally grey men, mythology, end-of-the-world stakes, why-choose intensity, and that perfect mix of depth and tension… add this to your TBR immediately.

This series/universe is just so amazing! The storyline flows so smoothly that before you know it, the end credits are happening. I am so excited for Lucifer but also will be incredibly sad bc the Mate Games will come to an end. Phenomenal, brilliant, epic, masterful…and so many other words that describe not only the story but the narration. The switch between accents for some of the narrators is mind blowing and just shows how immensely talented they are.

5 ⭐️ performance as always! These narrators are all so talented. I love the banter and the group dynamics. Plus in this last (I think) part of the series we get to catch up with our favorites from previous games. Remi and Kingston will always have a special place in my heart with their shenanigans. The actual story jumped around a little to much in this one, was a bit confusing. But the narration kind of covers in up because it’s done well.

I WILL NEVER GET ENOUGH OF THIS SERIES!!!
I’m telling you right now…if you haven’t started this…do yourself a favor and either read or listen ASAP. I personally prefer the audio because this is duet with an allstar cast that just hits every character perfectly! I can’t wait till the next audio…I’m dying!!!
