About this listen

An all new full cast duet narrated series in the Mate Games world from USA Today best-selling authors, Meg Anne and K. Loraine. Includes the prequel novella Promised to the Night.

Roslyn Blackthorne is dead. Technically. I faked my death to get out of a loveless marriage, but that was only half the battle. To ensure my vampire duke can never find me, I have to run far and fast enough so he can’t catch me. Because if he does, it’s over. Not just my life—for real this time—but my entire family’s.

So how does the princess of the Blackthorne vampires disappear in a world where every supernatural creature knows who she is? Summon a demon, of course. Pan agrees to keep me hidden, help me start a new life…for a cost. And it’s not my soul he’s after. Oh no, he wants my blood…and my body. But so do they. The shifter twins. The cursed hacker. And, of course, my estranged husband.

Starting over should be easy after my bargain with the demon. New name. New job. New reality in a tiny town where no one would think to search. Welcome to Aurora Springs, Alaska, a sleepy place where everyone is hiding something and nothing ever happens. At least it was…until I arrived and people started dropping like flies.

It looks like I brought my past, and a whole host of other problems, with me. But that’s not a big deal, right? It’s not the end of the world or anything.

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.

This is awesome. This book is full of surprises, suspense and mystery. Then there is so much heat and humour to boot! I’m loving it!

Okay I’ll admit that I have listened to this audiobook multiple times to escape into this world. Hearing names we became familiar with in the Mate Games Series and getting glimpses into where they are was everything that I wanted and needed.

This is book 1 of a new series and I’m entranced by this fantasy world. Pfff who needs the real world, not me!

This new series has a multitude of interesting characters that are performed by a variety of professionals. You’re sure to have an eargasmic experience like I did.
Most was of the Mercer twins who are aiding in hiding Rosie from her husband. Asher is the one who helped her create another persona in this new life she’s trying to make work. Yet there’s also a demon Pan, who has been taking Rosie’s blood as well as taking her body in many sensual ways. Rosie finds herself attracted to all of them, even the husband she is running away from. Then it all comes to a brilliant suspenseful cliffhanger ending that leaves you wishing for more!

Exciting New Series in the Mate Games Realm

In the previous series, we met some of the characters who get their story here. So to say I was excited about this book is an understatement. And my very high expectations were mostly satisfied.

It’s again a character oriented series.

We get an officially married and dead vampire as the heroine. Rosie has married her family’s enemy, Gavin, then faked her death to escape this marriage. She’s determined to use the skills of a previously met character, Asher the hacker, to stay hidden. But where she ends up in Alaska, she meets twin werewolves, Remi and Ben, and makes an arrangement with demon Pan. And that’s how Rosie loses her V card.

Rosie is, of course, the fated mate of every member of her little harem. They all feel a pull to her that they can’t understand–but the readers who enjoyed the first series may have an inkling of what’s happening. Gavin, her kinky possessive vampire husband; Asher, the cursed hacker, who has an intimate relationship with; Remington, the flirty werewolf; and his twin brother, the stuttering and broody Bentley; and Pan, the demon who asks for her blood.

The array of males displayed here was quite impressive, and also different from the mates in the first series. Clearly, the authors were careful to write new dynamics into their book. Even Rosie is a new kind of heroine–though she shares some characteristics with Sunday, like the fact that she’s an outsider in her race.

To keep writing something new, the authors also sped up the way Rosie accepts the various men in her life. I understand the reason behing their choice, but I must admit I wasn’t a fan of how fast Rosie falls in bed–and in love–with every one of them. I’d have enjoyed more building up. I felt it didn’t leave Rosie much time to really know each of them. And as she’s introduced as a virgin, that was some leap from no man ever to five men.

The setting changed too. The characters are stuck in a small town in Alaska, where everybody has something to hide–a good pretext to surround the characters with various creatures. I liked this idea a lot, and the side characters are pretty interesting.

And of course, there’s a grand scheme. We get just a hint at what is planned for Rosie, with most of the mystery kept in the dark. Add to that a killing spree, and you can imagine the tension and suspense that fill this book.

And it’s another great cast of narrators behind the audio. The female narrator comes back for the heroine, with a slight British accent that comes and goes–but for legitimate reasons. Gavin’s narrator is full on British, and perfect for the angry vampire with his deep voice. Asher’s brings a nervous energy that works well for the hacker. You’ll fall in love with the cute stutter of Bentley’s narrator. What a performance! Flirty Remington’s narrator gets his nonchalance, but goes angry when it’s needed. And finally, Pan’s narrator offers a strange mix of British accent and French words that is weirdly enticing. They all do a great job, and clearly enhance a book that is pretty good in the first place.

Deal with the Demon by Meg Anne and K. Loraine is a why choose paranormal romance that I listened to on audio narrated by J.F. Harding, Jacob Morgan, James Joseph, John Hartley, Stella Hunter, and Teddy Hamilton.

This is the first book in The Mate Games: Pestilence series. When you purchase the audiobook, it also includes the prequel novella Promised to the Night.

I loved The Mate Games series and was so excited when they announced they were doing this spin-off series following Noah's sister Rosalyn. They did an amazing job pulling me in from the first chapter. I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I am loving the chemistry between Rosalyn, Asher, Pan, Bently, Remington, and Gavin. I loved that we got all of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

The book ended on a great cliffhanger that left me begging for more. I can't wait for the next book in the series Claimed by the Shifters to be released on February 27, 2023.

I absolutely love that they do a full cast of narrators for this series. It really brings the story to life. You can't help but binge the audiobook in one sitting.

I would recommend this book if you like paranormal romances, why choose romances, or fated mate's romances.

Rosie will do anything to protect her family and that includes marrying Gavin, a dark and dangerous duke and faking her death to escape those who mean her harm. She now finds herself in Aurora Springs trying to become a new person with the help of Asher, a hacker who is having his own difficulties.

He arranges for her to with Remi & Ben who are not only wolf shifters but twins who believe she is their fated mate. When you throw in a husband who is not pleased to find out what you have been up to as well as a demon you know you are in for quite the adventure.

The chemistry that these characters share is intense as they find themselves battling their feelings for each other as well as the ever-escalating danger and surprises. I listened to the audio and the narrators were a perfect choice both for the characters and the story.

Suspense, Steam and Surprises!
