Roslyn Blackthorne is dead.
I should know, I watched it happen.
My twin and I didn’t believe we’d ever meet our mate, and then she showed up in our bar, and the world as we knew it changed. Fate hadn’t been kind to us. Not once. So it shouldn’t have come as a surprise that we lost her as soon as we claimed her.
I spent so much time worried about her manipulative demon, I didn’t anticipate it would be my own sordid past that killed her.
It was our fault. They should have blamed me and Remi. Instead, for the first time since Rosie turned our lives upside down, we are united:
Her vampire husband.
Her hybrid hacker.
Her alpha wolves.
I thought I’d give anything to see those amber eyes of hers again.
I was wrong.
So wrong.
Because the moment I got my wish, it wasn’t my sugar staring back at me. It was a monster.
And now I’ll never be the same.
Warning: The Mate Games: Pestilence is a spicy why-choose series that is sure to set your...heart...on fire. If you’re not a fan of grumpy dukes with a penchant for pain, purple demons with fancy body parts, nosy hackers with boundary issues, angsty wolf shifters who like to share, sword crossing, and plenty of group activities, this one’s not for you. But if it is...welcome back to The Mate Games, we’ve been waiting for you.

With this opus, we’re back on track with the apocalypse. Sure, Rosie’s relationships with her mates are still the main element of the story, but it’s now tightly connected with Pestilence’s plan to end the world. With Pan being at the center of it all. He spends the whole book manipulating or torturing Rosie’s other lovers, following his mother’s orders. But we also learn a bit more about him, his fears, his interests, his past, his family…
With the apocalypse progressing, we get more cameos from the previous series. And they aren’t just fan service.
All the participants in Rosie’s little harem have a rough time. She’s back after her death at the end of the previous book, and you can guess how she changed. Which affects mostly Ben, who has trouble accepting her as she is after his traumatic past, and Gavin, who’s in charge of teaching her the ways of her species. And with Pan possessing Asher’s body and not interested in anyone besides Rosie, Remi loses his other love, and we see that he can hide pain behind the flirty facade. After the kink fest in the previous book, we get an angst fest.
It’s still seasoned with tasty spice. The mates have finally realized that Rosie needs all of them, and it’s time to share.
Because balance is everything, we also get more gruesome moments. The plague is setting in, and the effects aren’t pretty. It’s also hanging as a threat over the characters’ head, as unlike any other illness, it can affect all species.
Since we see the other side of every character, the narrators got to play a wide range of emotions, and they did it perfectly. Bonus point to Bentley’s narrator, who was able to go from stuttering grumpy guy to growly alpha wolf, from swoony to sexy in half a millisecond. But they all did amazing. Great audio.
Can you imagine a book that shakes you?

I absolutely loved it and the humor was chefs kiss with Club Aubergine and the coconuts, need I say more!
The Duke is still my favourite as he just takes charge and gets everyone in line when he has to. Rosie on the other hand gets quite whingey on her guilt trips but hopefully will "man up" when she has to save the day!! The twins are as great as ever, but I can't even mention that dreadful Pan!
The narration is sublime and gets better and better and then ... to top it all ... we have the delicious Jason Clarke playing the juicy Irish Priest.
Can't wait for #4! Such a great series.
If you haven't tried it, what are you waiting for??
An excellent series!

The whole Pan body snatching Ascher, the pain he caused to Acsher by throwing him into memories he cut off, and the trouble and pain he caused to Remy and the town... oh, I can't help hate Pan. He's taken Gavins mantel in that prize.
Talking about Gavin, awww, and he's still snutty but less evil and more morally grey, but awwww, sweet his love for Rosie, he's embraced it, and it's so sweet. Although he is also still a top in scene, our Lord Gavin.
Remy, oh he and Kingston, I can just imagine them together bouncing their antics off each other's, and I would love to be there for that again. Remy was not just funny in this book. He was in pain, and I just wanted to hug him.
Ben, on the other hand, I wanted to slap and hug him, I understood his position, but I just wanted to slap his eyes open so he would come to his senses.
Although this book was filled with so much more pain and discomfort, it was also amped up with funny, cosy, and steamy moments.
Now book 4, because that ending was another cliffhanger of no don't do it! and oh dammmmmmnnn he is what, wait I knew that but he is what! and I'm ready for their HEA, Rosie deserves it. She's so far my favourite FMC in this series!
4.5 stars

I don't want to give away too much but I will say that Rosie, because of her Blackthorn heritage has turned and is now a vampire who can walk the sun. Obviously, Gavin is excited and loving his time with Rosie, but what about Ben with all his past trauma, how will he cope? Remi’s acceptance of their new situation is much easier, as for Asher - well I'm giving nothing away!
Will they all come together again? Can they protect not only Rosie, but the world from the evil about to befall them all? This exciting, moving and delicious addition to the series has so many twists and turns, I couldn't stop listening until the end, which is the greatest shocker yet! I can’t wait to see what happens next!
The narration by Teddy Hamilton, J.F. Harding, John Hartley, Stella Hunter, James Joseph, Jacob Morgan and Jason Clarke is excellent, all the characters are brought to life beautifully and it was lovely hearing again the sexy Irish lilt of Farther Gallaher!

Due to their devastating past Remi and Ben handle the changes in different ways as Remi knows that he can’t be without Rosie whatever the cost and while Ben is trying to distance himself he soon realizes that the bond they share can’t be broken. Pan is the demon we know him to be which has Asher stuck in the past uncertain how to overcome the predicament he finds himself in.
The chemistry is hotter than ever and the surprises keep coming which all lead up to a cliffhanger that leaves us needing to know if they will be overcome the plans of others. The performance of the narrators was everything you could want as they vocalize the personality of the characters and what they are going through.
The Surprises Keep Coming!
