The Mate Games: War #3
Possession
He saved me from a vengeful wolf but became a monster to do it. And now I’ve lost him. My Viking. My Alek.
Locked away in Novasgard, he’s beyond reach. I have no way to find him. No way to tell him about my secret. About the two words that changed everything. To make matters worse, Noah and Caleb want nothing to do with me now that they know.
Two little words, and I’m on the verge of losing them.
My confessor.
My berserker.
My prince.
My Alpha…the only one remaining by my side.
A couple months ago, my biggest worry was finding my wolf. Now we’re dealing with demons, and fending off attacks from the fae. For every enemy we defeat, more lurk in the shadows.
The one thing they all have in common?
They’re after me.
We’re not safe anywhere, and there’s something dark and powerful inside me. Something only Alek can help me control. I have to get him back, to fix what’s broken between all of us. Because if I’ve learned anything since coming to Ravenscroft, it’s that I’m not going to survive this without my mates.
All four of them.
Warning: This series is not for the faint of heart. It contains an obsessive stalker, a foul-mouthed, inked and pierced werewolf, a naughty professor with a fondness for watching, a god of mischief, and plenty of heat. If you don’t like your books spicy, your men broody, built, and more bad than good, this is not the series for you. But if you do...read on, and welcome to The Mate Games.

Second read: I still think that my poor baby Alek deserved better. 😞
_______________________
This book picks up right where Rejevction ended. Alek turned berserker while defending Sunday and was taken to his homeland by his father. Sunday is left with only three of her mates, and not for long as Caleb decides once again to keep his distance from her, and Noah freaks out when he finds out that Sunday is pregnant, because if the baby is half-vampire and half-shifter, it will mean the death of Sunday and the baby. Not letting any of this stop her, Sunday embarks on a seemingly impossible mission to find a way to enter Novasgard to go get Alek and bring him back to her side, while keeping on having to fight and evade the faes and demons who are hunting her and trying to kill her and her unborn baby.
It’s good that Sunday is a strong and resilient woman because she will need this mental strength to survive the temporary loss of her mates and the big changes coming in her life. She is not ready to just let them go though, and she will fight tooth and nail to get the happy ending they all deserve.
This book focuses more on Alek, his past, the reason he was at Ravenscroft, and also his relationship with his family. I admit that Tor annoyed me at first, I thought he was nothing more than the typical jealous twin out to get revenge on his brother, but I like how despite their insults and mean teasing, Tor and Alek have each others’ back, and they will stop at nothing to protect each other from a real threat, as well as their extended family. I loved how Tor was willing to help and protect Sunday as soon as he realized who she was to Alek.
While Possession focuses more on Alek, the other guys still shine. Kingston remains the steady support Sunday needs, and his banter with the other guys is one of my favorite things in this series. The sass between Noah and him is perfect, and there is potential for a strong bromance here.
I was a little annoyed with Noah’s reaction at first, and even more annoyed when he was again separated from Sunday, but he did have a good explanation and redeemed himself. Who am I kidding, he’s been husband material since book one, I don’t think there is anything he can do that will make me stop loving him and his smooth accent.
Caleb is trying (and failing) to distance himself from Sunday, for her protection, and also because of his vows and his secret mission given to him by Gabriel, but let’s be honest, he was never good at resisting Sunday. I like that even though he is still not “officially” a part of Sunday’s harem and he is trying not to get romantically involved with her, he remained there to protect her and help her when the other guys couldn’t. He cares about her and she knows it, he just can’t allow himself to be with her at the moment, in his usual tortured way… She managed to wear him down though, slowly, but surely, and oh my is Father Gallagher a hot kinky man when he lets himself be. His scenes with Sunday are hot.
Moira is still the best. If you made it so far in the series, I don’t even need to explain why. You just know that she is the best.
I. Fecking. Love. Her.
I want her to have a spinoff book. Or two. Or three.
Also, am I the only one who felt a connection between Moira and Tor? Those two were clearly on the path to becoming buddies, before Sunday and Moira had to leave again for their next crazy adventure. I want to see more of Moira and Tor being buddies. Pretty please?
The plot was more developed in this book, but there is still a lot of hot smut, and it remains a highly entertaining, quick-read series that any RH and paranormal lover should enjoy.😉

“So you gave me your basic stats, but what made me fall for you?”
The question caught me off guard. “I . . . um . . . I don’t actually know. It never really came up.”
His expression went from tender interest to disbelief. His brows dropped low, and his smile faded. “Then I failed as your mate.”
“What?”
“If you don’t know everything I love about you, I wasn’t doing my job as your mate. It’s simple. I should’ve made you aware of exactly how wonderful you are.”
This book focuses more on Alek, his past, the reason he was at Ravenscroft, and also his relationship with his family.

I loved how Tor was willing to help and protect Sunday as soon as he realized who she was to Alek.
His eyes moved to focus on something behind me. “I don’t want to wake her. Should we take this somewhere else?”
I followed his gaze, finding a candlelit balcony. “Are you trying to seduce me? Boundaries, Kingston. They’re important.”
“I call middle spoon,” I said, pulling on the stretchy shirt and loose pants. Alek came over to me and scooped me up.
“Then I’ll be the big spoon.”
“Can I be the fork?” Noah asked.
“Fork?” I asked with a snort.
“Yeah, so I can see your face and tangle my legs with yours. You know, like two forks facing each other?”
“Real romantic, man. You’re a regular Shakespeare,” Kingston said. “I love it. Yes, Noah, you can fork me whenever you want to.”
While Possession focuses more on Alek, the other guys still shine. Kingston remains the steady support Sunday needs, and his banter with the other guys is one of my favorite things in this series. The sass between Noah and him is perfect, and there is potential for a strong bromance here.

Who am I kidding, he’s been husband material since book one, I don’t think there is anything he can do that will make me stop loving him and his smooth accent.
A soft rustling noise from the dark corner at the other end of my room had my pulse resuming its frantic pounding. I grabbed the nearest thing to me—Jake—and sent it flying in the direction of the disturbance.
“Fecking hell, Sunday. Do you regularly accost people with sex toys?”
“Caleb?”
“Well, it bloody isn’t Father Christmas now, is it?”
(…)
“You definitely don’t have the right frame to be Santa. When you laugh, do you say ho, ho, ho?”
He was mostly in shadow, but I could just make out his mouth as it twitched in the ghost of a grin. “No, I do not.”
“That’s right. Because you don’t laugh. You scold and scowl.”
“I laugh.”
I quirked a brow. “Sure you do. When you’re torturing people in that dungeon of yours.”
Caleb is trying (and failing) to distance himself from Sunday, for her protection, and also because of his vows and his secret mission given to him by Gabriel, but let’s be honest, he was never good at resisting Sunday.

“All right, fuck face. Let’s head back to the house.”
“Already on my way, twatwaffle.”
“Twatwaffle?”
“Like that one, did you? The witch taught it to me.”
“Taught it to you? Or called you one?”
Tor grinned. “Same difference, really.”
Also, am I the only one who felt a connection between Moira and Tor? Those two were clearly on the path to becoming buddies, before Sunday and Moira had to leave again for their next crazy adventure. I want to see more of Moira and Tor being buddies. Pretty please?

Sunday and the seven seals of the apocalypse!
The following ratings are out of 5:
Romance: 💙💚💜❤️🖤
Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📕📗📘📙📔
World building: 🌎🌍🌏🌎🌍
Character development: 🤐🤫🫣😍
Narrator(s): 🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙
Narration Type: Duet Narration – Full Cast
The heroine: Sunday - she came to Ravenscroft University to find her wolf. She found her wolf and so much more than she ever could have imagined. She found four men who she is in love with, though nothing has been easy for her. She has dreams of her mother every night, which often reveal big things about her life, not all of which are good. And she recently found out some huge surprises which will change her life forever.
The Heroes: Noah, Caleb, Kingston & Alek - Noah Blackthorne (a vampire prince who gave up everything for Sunday and branded himself a traitor to be with her), Caleb Gallagher (a vampire and former Priest who can’t stop himself from watching Sunday with her three other men but won’t allow himself to become the fourth), Kingston Farrell (Sunday’s werewolf mate who is home to her and only wants her love), Alek Nordson (a viking berserker demigod (a.k.a. Loki), who is flirty, charming and totally in love with Sunday).
The Story: During a fight against demons, in which Alek turned berserker, he was taken home to Novasgard by his uncle and his father (the warrior of Odin). From the start of this book, we find out more about Alek, especially about what he was doing on Earth at Ravenscroft. He was there on a military mission for his people, keeping up on intelligence about the supernaturals and technology on Earth so Novasgard is not caught unaware in case of an attack.
Kingston Farrell was a surprise in this book. In the first book he was a bully and often mean to Sunday, though we found out how truly hurt and in pain he had been after her rejection of him. I am actually surprised he forgave her so easily. In this book, he totally manned up and stood by Sunday’s side though everything, even when the others left her.
The book is told in multiple points of view via duet narration and narrated by a full cast. This series is narrated by Stella Hunter, Jason Clarke, JF Harding, James Joseph, Aaron Shedlock and a special appearance by Shane East. I have been totally enjoying this series and have been binging it one after another. I wish every book was narrated like this.

HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO POSSESSION!
I DO NOT DISLIKE KINGSTON ANYMORE, EVERYONE CHEER!!! He finally proved himself enough by being there for Sunday during the whole book, so what the hell, he can stay.
Possession went in a slightly different direction than I was expecting, especially in the Alek department. My poor, poor Alek.
Something, or should I say someONE happens, and you know what? I suddenly don't like that person anymore. THEY MAY HAVE HAD VALID REASONS TO DO IT, BUT THEY SHOULD'VE KNOWN BETTER! I'M SO MAD AT THEM!
Aside from that, everything was fun, Sunday had her guys to take care of her during her growing pregnancy and they also helped to stop assassination attempts, you know, normal everyday stuff.
I should not be excited for what comes next, which is a war, BUT I'M EXCITED ANYWAY. I think it's going to be awesome, hopefully no one important dies. And I'd love to see Novasgardians participating to save the world too.
NOW, NOW, NOW, something I'm sure you've all been waiting for as much as I have, CROMBIE FINALLY APPEARS! Like 70% in, and only for a short while, BUT HE'S BACK. I'm so happy to see him still kicking in questionable places. This better not be the last we see of him, I need him to cause some trouble.
And I'm delighted to see dear Heather lives on. She hasn't been forgotten, and is now forever immortalised with a mention in book three. Go Heather.
THE ENDING HAD ME SCARED FOR MY LIFE TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, SO THE AUTHORS CAN EXPECT MY THERAPY BILLS. I WAS JUST SITTING THERE IN MY LITTLE BED, READING MY LITTLE BOOK AND THEN BAM, THE ENDING??? IT'S CRUEL TO LEAVE US HANGING LIKE THAT.
C R U E L.
So yeah friends, I am SHOOK. Alek's book was a ride, I love itttt. I don't want this series to be over though. Am I sensing a possible spinoff with Tor or is that just wishful thinking on my part? FINGERS CROSSED THERE'S MORE BOOKS.
*Thank you to the authors for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

*ALC received from Audibly Addicted in exchange for my honest review. *
Just when I think I can't love Sunday and her mates anymore K. Loraine & Meg Anne swoop in and prove me wrong.
Possession really changed the game for Sunday. Everything she has been trying to avoid is starting to boil over. Just when she thinks she has her footing the forces at play come in and make her realize she doesn't know how to survive this world.
Alec has gone back to Novasgard and Sunday's soul feels like it is being ripped apart. She might have her prince, her alpha and even at times her confessor but she can't feel whole without her berserker. On top of that the power inside her is growing and she doesn't know if she can control that power without Alec.
We get to see a whole new side to Kingston, a softer side where he is still very much the protective Alpha but where his kindness is much more on the surface. The gentleness he shows Sunday really made me more endeared to that shifter. Seeing Noah in his element with his family really helped show his human side which we have never really seen before. Daddy Gallagher on the other hand gave me whiplash. That man aggravates me just as much as I adore every little depraved thing about him.
K. Loraine and Meg Anne went next level with the narration for this series. With Stella Hunter, Jason Clarke, J.F. Harding, James Joseph, Aaron Shedlock and guest appearances by Shane East and Jacob Morgan you are in for so much more than a treat. You are in for a whole damn buffet of delicious voices and the way that the voices interact is nothing short of magic. The banter between Noah & Kingston was so well played with J.F. Harding and James Joseph I couldn't stop laughing.
I can't believe we only have one book left and with the ending like I just experienced my mind is f*cked in the most literal sense. There is a feeling in my stomach that I know what has to happen and I am not prepared for it. Not even a little.

Whaaaaaat theeeee freeeeeck
That cliffhanger should be illegal. I’m gonna need their address to send my therapist’s next bill to them.
So, all the men are really hot and all that, but I think Sunday should leave them for Moira. That witch is amazing and I need her spin off. And remember, there’s nothing any of those alpha machos can do that Moira can’t with her fist ✊🏻✨💖
If Moira can’t be my first option, then I’m picking Kingston. He’s hilarious, shameless and his scene with Sunday where he subbed for her made all my dreams come true.
His banter with Noah is probably one of my favorite aspects of this series. And yes, they make me wish there were some ⚔️ in this story because those two together would be off the charts hot. Although I must say that eye contact between Noah and Alek had me feeling some type of way.
I feel really bad for Alek, tho. I think he was done dirty with that amnesia plot. He’s no longer the same Alek from previous books and that kinda sucks. If he were my favorite, I’d be royally pissed at what they did to him.
I was going to remove a star because Daddy Caleb stomped on my heart and pretty much threw it to the garbage can. But at the same time, this deserves the full 5 stars because this fucking character ruined my life. Well played. I salute you, little fucker.
Honestly, I can only make bad jokes about this or I’ll cry on main. He really made me feel the betrayal deep in my very soul.
I was tempted to remove another star for the pregnancy / Devil Baby subplot, because I’m not a big fan of this kind of tropes. And Sunday’s last scene with all her men kind of soured the whole thing up for me. I could never forgive or trust them again, I think.
The smut tho… oof girlies, the audiobook made me literally droll. So this is my usual reminder to listen to the audiobooks instead of reading the books, please. Don’t ruin this for you, go right ahead and get that free trial on Audible to listen to these.
Good girl.

★3/5!
I’m 50/50 with this one, in the first two books I loved Sunday and Caleb but in this book they were so annoying- however Kingston + Noah + Alek I love them so much. Plot was a lot better in this book, most questions answered but still confusing and no detail. Mate Game Series is one of those series were they are so badly wrote but you cant stop reading.

Why does the female lead always got to get pregnant...put that as a spoiler on the first page of the 1st book for God's sake....and why the cover is Alek sniffing his armpit 😖😖
July 7, 2022
(audiobook) I don’t read a lot of PNR, nor a lot of reverse harem. To be honest, I may never have started this series if not for the narrators. And I would have unknowingly missed a great story with great characters. And it keeps getting better and better.
This third book focuses primarily on Sunday’s relationship with Alek, who’s disappeared at the end of the previous book. Though her main goal is to find him and bring him back, the little secret she’s only shared with Kingston until now, isn’t a secret anymore, and both her vampire lovers decide to stay away. I have to admit that I liked that there was more alone time for Kingston and Sunday–and that time was well used, believe me.
So the first part of Sunday’s journey in this book is dedicated to finding a way to Novasgard, while she’s trying to reunite with Caleb and Noah. Now that they’ve all accepted that they’ll share Sunday, it was interesting to watch them navigate these new dynamics.
Once they’ve found Alek, the second part is about getting him back, and it isn’t that easy. I don’t want to spoil anything, so I won’t say more. But I loved that the situation had another unforeseen consequence: it shifts yet again the dynamics between Sunday and her mates, in that she realizes that she needs to have some alone time with each of them regularly, to show them that they are special and loved.
The story speeds up in the last part, when they discover that Sunday is in danger. A lot of action, stories of alliances, enemies, betrayals… That part is eventful and ends on a cliffhanger that made me impatient for the next book.
The narration is still great. There were a lot more side characters this time, with almost the same number of narrators–just one more compared to the previous two books–which means that all of them did multiple voices and it could be slightly confusing at times. But they’re all so good that they know how to have different tones for different characters. Another superb performance!

This third book focuses primarily on Sunday’s relationship with Alek, who’s disappeared at the end of the previous book. Though her main goal is to find him and bring him back, the little secret she’s only shared with Kingston until now, isn’t a secret anymore, and both her vampire lovers decide to stay away. I have to admit that I liked that there was more alone time for Kingston and Sunday–and that time was well used, believe me.

Alek has been my favorite one of Sunday's mates since Book 1. Alek was known as the life of the party. He was fun, mischievous, understanding, patient and always knew how to make people laugh, smile or feel better. His story cost me a good Wig because the stress made me throw it across the room. The heartache, angst, misunderstandings, the loss. Everything was just too much.
This book picks up on the events that transpired after Alek was taken back to his realm. Alek was absolutely devastated to be separated from his mate. Sunday calmed his inner Berserker. Sunday gave Alek peace and comfort to be himself without worrying about anyone getting hurt when his beast is unleashed. Sunday and Alek were each other's other half. He gave Sunday strength and encouragement. Alek was Sunday's superpower until the day he wasn't.
If you are a true fan of Alex, be prepared to be gutted. My heart literally broke for Alek during his captivity. Not only was be brought back to his homeland but he was locked up as a prisoner in his own home. When the unthinkable happens to Alek and he suffers a great loss he proves what it means to be a man possessed when it comes to fighting for your mate as well as fighting to get her back.
Sunday is constantly under attack due to her pregnancy. Her mates Noah, Kinston and Caleb work hard to keep her safe and protected until they can find a way to bring Alek back into the fold. With the news of Sunday's pregnancy Alek does his part to protect his child and Mate. On the run from Fae, Demons, Hunters and the Council Sunday literally has no peace. Sunday and her mates have no idea who they can trust except each other, and they will soon realize that one of them has been keeping secrets from the harem especially when everyone learns the truth about the child Sunday is carrying.
This book ends on an unexpected Cliffhanger making the reader anxious to read the Conclusion of this series. Will the prediction about Sunday's baby come to fruition? 6 of the 7 Seals has officially been opened. Will Father Gallagher fulfill his mission in gaining his sou back or will he fight to protect his mate and child? More importantly will Sunday, Kingston, Noah and Alek forgive him for his betrayal?.

well… there’s a few tropes in here that I’m not the biggest fan of (i.e. the good old “oh no I’ve lost my memories whatever am I to do”, alongside the classic “oh no my period is late whatever am i to do”, among others), but the plot is juuust interesting enough (and let’s face it, the love interests are juust hot enough) to make me want to finish the series.
although, another thing that has bothered me a lot since book one: the love interests include: 1. a vampire 2. a werewolf 3. a Norse god and 4. ………another vampire 🤦♀️
like… could we not have thought of one more fantastical race so that the posse wasn’t lopsided?? The fourth could have been fae or a centaur or a mermaid or even a feckin lizard and I would have been much more gratified 🦎
But no matter, I’ll just lie awake at night and let the irksome imbalance and existential dread consume me 🙃

No clue how this series got so many 5 stars. The first two books were good, but the 3rd and now 4th are ridiculous. The FMC is a selfish, know it all. I felt bad for her wolf mate who after she rejects him had the audacity to feel upset that he’s been with other people and hates her. Then her so called priest mate, who is absolutely horrible, calling her names and treating her like crap and of course she has the BBS Syndrome with him. I mean he kidnapped her to kill her unborn child and all she can think about is calling him Daddy? So dumb.

5/5⭐️ 5/5🌶
Mindblown. Let’s talk good stuff before bad stuff. Yeah, it’s obviously the spice🤫 I think I had a brain aneurysm from it being so heated up. Remember that otherworldly plane I astral projected to? Yeah, I think I forgot my name and where I was this time. Like what even was life? Did I die and come back? My soul left my body at some of these scenes. Meg Anne and K.Loraine took their sexy time writing very seriously. It is next level, filthy perfection.
These books are so much fun to buddy read/listen to because the reactions are priceless! The men treat Sunday like she’s the center of their world and I love it. I also love Moira. I’m questioning if the authors took my personality and made a side character out of it lol. She is me. I beg y’all to write a Moira based book!
Anywhooo, now to the bad stuff.
The way this plot took a turn…I have no words. Tables have turned, betrayals have surfaced, secrets are unfolding. Trust no one. NO ONE. By the end I was just sitting the dumbfounded like why? What happening 😫 On to book 4 IMMEDIATELY! If you haven’t started this series, what are you doing with your life?
Repeating myself once again to listen to the audios, because they are elite.
Favorite Quotes:
Family had always come first to me, but I was learning that it may not always be the one whose blood ran through my veins. Sometimes family was made of the most unlikely creatures.
I’d broken every last vow in favor of new ones. Sunday was my religion. The goddess I worshiped with my body. The only mistress I served.
I woke up spooning Thorne and never want to do that again. You’re the middle of the sandwich.” I snorted at the mental image. “Tell me you were the little spoon.” He growled at me. “When am I ever the little spoon?” I lifted on my tiptoes, licking him as I whispered. “When I command it, pet.”
Noah leaned in and whispered, “I don’t need to be your daddy to know you’re mine. Call me whatever you want. I’ll still fuck you senseless no matter what.”
She lifted the life-sized replica of Jake I’d had made for her. That process was weird as fuck, but the look in her eyes made every awkward moment worth it.

The ONLY thing I regret about reading this series is that I read it before the last book was released 😫 This is the best PNR series I’ve read in a while, and I really wish I could read the last book NOW. I read the first 3 books in 3 days! I couldn’t put them down. I was riveted from the first chapter. I didn’t want to sleep or take breaks to eat, and you better believe I took my iPad with me every time I had to go to the bathroom. This series is worthy of more than 5 stars. It gets all the stars!!! And the smut is soooooo good! The scenes with her and the priest are always so hot. Father Gallagher can spank me any day and I have no issue calling him Daddy! And I’m in love with all the men. And I really didn’t like having to stop with the cliffhanger 😭😭 2 weeks is way too long to wait for the conclusion of this story.
If you love RH then this series is a must read. And if you don’t read RH then this will be the series to make you crave more of the genre. RH is addicting in itself, but throw a demigod, a shifter, and 2 vampires (and one is a priest who has to ask for forgiveness every time he sees his own personal walking sin) into the mix with some hot smut, spankings, and some super swoon-worthy lines….then you’ve got a world you won’t want to leave.
And let me tell you…I literally squealed and yelled, “oh no she didn’t!” at the reference to Tamlin from A Court or Thorns and Roses. There were so many things in this series that I have laughed at, but that one takes the cake for me 😂
Superb writing from these authors. All 3 books have been added to my book boyfriend’s and favorites shelves.

This series continues to impress me! I have been alternating between reading the ebook and listening to the audio, and I highly recommend the audio version. It is an incredibly immersive experience with multiple narrators - I am now completely spoiled and don't want to listen to audiobooks any other way.
So much angst here - mates acting like idiots, mates being taken away, memories being stolen, and fear over the fate of the world. I love my books with a healthy helping of angst, so I was delighted here.
The smut level is high. Sunday does have four mates to please, and she is pregnant, which increases her libido. We get to share in the wealth with multiple scenes: MF, MFM, MFMM, and more. There is one scene specifically from Noah's POV that is super spicy involving 1st-time @n@l.
There is a crazy cliffhanger at the end of this book, but since the entire series has already been released, there is no need to wait to find out what happens. I can't wait!

“The language of love is like that, possessive.”
- Holly Black
…So Sunday is pregnant. No one’s reaction is great except for Kingston. He really stepped up! I loved it!
Who knows what Alek is up to or where he is…
Noah is… doing Noah things.
And Caleb. The struggle is real. I’ll absolve you of your sins, Father.
Well, ok then. And that ending!?! This is why I try not to start series that are not finished because if I had to wait a month I’d be so anxious!
This is Alek-centric…. That demigod could do sinful things to me.

Book 3 pics up right where we left off with Alek having to go back to his home world to tame his berserker. We definitely get more pieces moving and some more info about why it's such a big deal Sunday is pregnant and also a hell of a lot of spice. Our first group scene where everyone is present (still no ⚔ other than DP) and I want to pummel Caleb. Fucking make up your mind. His waffling is annoying. Another mild cliffy but ofc I will be reading the next one right away.

The first two books were infinity ♾️ 🌟 for me!!! I did not love the amnesia trope that was dropped upon poor Alek but I loved the angst, loved the pining, the tension, everything!! That cliffhanger and the priest angst that is coming in the last book is going to be chef's kiss, i just fucking know it.
I'm a woman obsessed with this PN RH romance. And specifically the audiobooks. They are so so so well done. Again, they are the best way to read the books, but I still would have loved having the books to annotate them.

If you haven’t read this series, I don’t know what you’re doing. This has got to be one of my favourite why choose series of all time. Please, do us all a favour and listen to the audio. The accents? The dialogue? The banter? Like come on. 25 million stars.

OMG! This series has my heart in a vice! What an ending!! Great narration again! On to the next. I can't take this stress lol... I have loved this series so far.

This installment felt a little repetitive even though it was still intriguing and kept me completely interested it felt like the book was there just to make the series longer. It had some fun little subplots though. And a lot more spice than the first two.

**Audio Review**
Holy harem hotness! Just when I think this series can’t get any steamier and more intense, these ladies sure prove me wrong! (which I’m not mad about one bit, thank you!) Possession by K. Loraine and Meg Anne continued the sinfully delicious suspenseful journey of Sunday Fallon and her hunky harem of men. The plot thickens even more with Sunday’s unexpected yet pivotal pregnancy and danger lurking in the shadows everywhere she turns. With the absence of one of her protectors, is anywhere safe?
The entire cast returns to voice their characters in multicast duet narration. Stella Hunter presents this fierce protective confidence (hey mama) in her performance of Sunday which makes you want it all for her. Aaron Shedlock in full on berserker mode was overbearing dominant perfection. I loved J.F. Harding and James Joseph’s playful arrogance in showcasing Kingston and Noah’s newfound bromance and of course their connection to Sunday. Jason Clarke once again brought that broody Irish accent to Caleb’s conflicted, tempted, and tortured being that left me begging for forgiveness! The steam leveled up in Possession, and these narrators were all pure fire!
Overall, I LOVED this audiobook! If you are a fan of a paranormal reverse harem with a fierce heroine who holds the fate of the world, four loyal hunky protectors, dangerous fae, trips to meet your fated mates families, Jake 2.0 (down boy!), suspenseful twists and turns, hella hot steamy times (oh hey, orgy!), giving into temptation, bossy alphas in the bedroom, Council meetings, witchy prophecies, and a crazy plot twist ending that will leave you feeling absolutely possessed and of course needing more, then you will love this book. I can’t wait for the epic conclusion in Temptation!

Possession is booked three of four in K. Loraine and Meg Anne’s Mate Games Series. It was everything I hoped for and more! This installment has so many layers, it had me riveted from chapter 1 to that holy hell of a cliffhanger! We find Sunday reeling from the loss of her beloved Viking mate Alek. She realizes she needs ALL of her mates, especially at this point of demon and fae attacks towards her. She must do what she can to get Alek back from Novasguard. The adventure described in this book is phenomenal. The writing really sets the scene in my mind for all the different worlds and places. One of my very (unexpected) favorite parts was the humor. Of course this has all of your deliciously hot as sin reverse harem scenes with Sunday and her Vamp, Wolf, and hulking Viking, but WOW! The quick wit and the one-liners Kingston delivers are excellent. The banter between Kingston and Noah is extremely funny and sweet. This is so action packed I loved every second. Stella Hunter gives us another amazing performance as Sunday. Which is each book I feel the growth of her character especially the self-assured in this one. She’s always a pleasure to listen to. Stella is bringing Sunday to life through and through.
J.F. Harding really had me in this one! Of course he is perfect in portraying the growly, cocky, alpha Kingston, but WOW! He is on fire with his comedic and HOT deadpan tone..I absolutely loved it!
James Joseph brought more of a “relaxed”Noah. Of course he brought the uber protective and obsessive vamp again, but now almost a bromance going on with Kingston. I loved hearing that side of him!
Aaron Shedlock was of course amazing as the hulking Viking, Alek. We learn A LOT more about his character, and Aaron brought his A game. He bought Alex’s confidence and protective side, yet vulnerable side perfectly.
Jason Clarke brought our tortured vampire priest to a new light which I loved. He had me on an emotional roller coaster for sure… That Irish accent never gets old.
I absolutely loved hearing Shane East and Jacob Morgan both in this! Both had small parts, but brought a huge smile to my face when I heard their beautiful yet commanding voices.

This book did a good job of further developing the MMCs. I really enjoyed the banter between Kingston, Noah, Alek, and Caleb throughout the book and found myself laughing quite a few times. Thank goodness for this or I wouldn't be able to continue with this series. I even like the banter with Tor. All of those interactions made the book enjoyable, and I keep reading to see what is going to happen with each of the mates.
Unfortunately, I like Sunday less and less as the series goes on. She gets weaker and weaker in each book despite being described as having berserker strength and gaining strength from exposure to her mates. We're repeatedly told that she can't shift because of the pregnancy, which is fine but what happened to the powers that she had in the first book that she had in the training class and at other times? After the first book, we never saw those abilities again. She's constantly needing to be rescued by everyone. Even with Moira giving her a bracelet that can detect when someone means her harm, she disregards and dismisses it.
Something that continues to barely be held in the story is the key plot of Sunday and her baby being the harbingers of the apocalypse. It's supposed to be a key part of the story, but it's never really a focus of the series. That may be shifting based on the final 7% of this book, but it never gets sufficient attention to feel like it's vital to the story considering it only gets brought to with the secret society of ruling entities gets meet at Iniquity to talk about how powerless they are to stop Sunday or the baby from bringing about the apocalypse.
Oh, and there's a Vampire Council that's trying to terminate them, but (again) this is forgotten until there's an attempt, and the characters are talking about it. I love when a story has spicy scenes, but this one has so many that it disrupts the flow of the story. It makes it feel like the attempts on Sunday and the plot by the secret council aren't that important or relevant.
Ultimately, I want to see a happily ever after for the mates because they deserve it.
Unfortunately, I like Sunday less and less as the series goes on. She gets weaker and weaker in each book despite being described as having berserker strength and gaining strength from exposure to her mates. We're repeatedly told that she can't shift because of the pregnancy, which is fine but what happened to the powers that she had in the first book that she had in the training class and at other times? After the first book, we never saw those abilities again. She's constantly needing to be rescued by everyone. Even with Moira giving her a bracelet that can detect when someone means her harm, she disregards and dismisses it.
Something that continues to barely be held in the story is the key plot of Sunday and her baby being the harbingers of the apocalypse.

Is it just me or does the guy on the cover look like he’s sniffing his pit?
The above blurb claims that Noah and Caleb want nothing to do with Sunday. That’s an outright lie as Noah approaches her but is snubbed for his effort. Caleb spends every night with her while Kingston is out running with his pack mate. It seems a shame that the group doesn’t manage to share a home after agreeing it would be ideal. Moira would be included but isn’t keen on the idea of living with a "sausage fest.”
Alek is snatched by his father and uncle after manifesting his berserker heritage. He is imprisoned in a magical chamber where he daily destroys its contents due to his frustration at being unable to return to Sunday. His Aunt Quinn (one of the Society members) takes it upon herself to wipe his memory of Sunday and their mate bond. His twin, Tor, decides to finish out Alek’s semester at Ravenscroft.
Meanwhile, Sunday and Noah reunite and he moves in with her and Kingston. Tor shows up and they initially mistake him for Alek but that doesn’t last long. When he discovers Sunday is Alek’s mate he enables her and her other three mates to portal to Novasgard to retrieve Alek. Quinn’s subterfuge is discovered and Alek returns with them to Ravenscroft without his memory restored. He determines that since he can’t remember his past with Sunday that they will create new memories.
Sunday has been attacked several times by those determined to avoid the apocalypse that her child's birth portends. The group ends up at Noah’s family home, Blackthorne Manor, but it proves not to be a safe haven either. Sunday overhears Noah’s father's idea that they kill her child when it's born and have Noah turn her into a vampire so that Sunday won’t die. She flees with assistance from Moira. She doesn’t even make it off the grounds before she is drugged and kidnapped.
