Probably not the sentence you would expect at the start of a 5 star review but its the truth. Book 3 of the Mate Games: Pestilence by Meg Anne and K Loraine is a punishing assault on your emotions as the tension ramps up on the se This book broke me.

Probably not the sentence you would expect at the start of a 5 star review but its the truth. Book 3 of the Mate Games: Pestilence by Meg Anne and K Loraine is a punishing assault on your emotions as the tension ramps up on the second attempt at the apocalypse but along the way we have to deal with the fallout of THAT cliffhanger. Listening to this you will be constantly on edge, one minute you are plunged into agonising despair, the next you are delirious happy and giggling insanely like you are high, then you are burning up hotter a freaking supernova with all this intense passion and desire before plummeting right back down into aching sadness. Strap in because that cycle plays on relentless repeat and throw in bouts of momentary anger which will have you screaming in frustration.

Speaking of which, Meg/Kim - we need to talk about what you put my beloved Mercer twins through in this book!!! What.The.Hell. Fellow Mercer devotees, heads up. Ben and Remi are both strung out and crushed in this book. Thanks to some cruel antics by our resident demon, Pan, Remi's relationship with Asher is tested to the max in this one and its painful to watch and even more brutal to listen to as the amazing Jacob Morgan and Teddy Hamilton dial up the heartache and longing in this one. Jeddy fans, rejoice, your favourite pair do not disappoint.

However, I'm a Ben girl and what happens to him and Rosie in this one is like something out of an epic romantic melodrama. Its heartbreaking as the fallout of Book 2 threatens to put their relationship in permanent jeopardy as Ben struggles to reconcile the war raging between what he wants and his past trauma. For this reason, J F Harding is the standout in this particular book, he continues to completely floor me with his raw agonising performance of Ben's vulnerability but then also manages to dial the rugged, sexy, growling Alpha wolf voice in other instances to completely seduce the hell out of me. Daddy Ben, yes please!!! Harding is a dangerous actor for this very reason and I freaking adore him for it. Prepare to swoon.

In the mix of this drama and heartache are moments of wicked delight and the authors trademark humour thanks mostly to the aforementioned purple demon, Captain Aubergine himself, Pan. Played to gleeful perfection by James Joseph who clearly is having way to much fun in this role, Pan the anti-hero is back in full force causing maximum mayhem in all his glory.

Gavin, our Duke of Tears, manages to shine in this one by stepping up and holding the group together and being the unsuspecting rock to Rosie during the transition. He is proving that its not only his devilishly arrogant domineering ways that make us love him...but he actually has a heart under there...but let him hear you say that. John Hartley has clearly embraced this role so much he wields his seductive voice like a weapon that you will be powerless to resist him.

Stella Hunter continues to impress with her spectrum of vocal talent by beautifully portraying our beloved Rosie through all the facets of her journey in this one. She and J F Harding made me cry several times throughout including one haunting scene on a doorstep....I say no more. But Stella has such range and a new character popping up, the Southern Dynasty style Mayor DuBois is truly delightful.

You would think with all these interweaving relationship dynamics that the plot might suffer but nothing could be further from the truth. The authors have cleverly kept us all distracted, mainly by ripping our hearts out and stitching them back in, that you would be forgiven for missing the subtly planted clues that had been sprinkled in the first two books and starting to bloom in this one. We get ever closer to the finale and whether the world will really end this time and there is a genius plot twist towards the end that will have you going, oh god how did I miss that.

All in all, its a breathtaking thrill of a ride and will have you salivating to find out how it will all unravel in the final book.

Remember, the game is in play, the Queen will now make her move! ...more "

Hannah’s Notes & Highlights

The Victorian Traveller by L.M. Bean

3 highlights

“You think I’m lonely?” A moment of silence hung in the air. “To be honest, I don’t know if you’re content with it, or resigned to it. But either way, you don’t have to do this alone.”
