About this listen
An all new duet narrated multicast series from USA Today best-selling authors Meg Anne and K. Loraine.
One heroic act damned me for eternity. With a name like Tor, I should have been a hero, just like my father and twin. Turns out I’m not. Not even close. Instead I’m the very thing we hunted. A depraved monster. I thought there was no escaping the curse. No hope for a future.
And then I met my mate in the unlikeliest of places: Blackwood Asylum. A place for criminals. Power-hungry madmen. Supernatural outcasts. And her, the curvaceous writer who sees ghosts.
I’m not the only one with a need to claim her though, and I don’t know which of us she’ll choose.
The dragon
The pirate
The lost soul, or me...the beast.
Dahlia was my reason for holding on to the last shreds of my humanity, but with every passing day I lose more of myself. And I’m starting to think that’s for the best.
With threats closing in from all sides and a serial killer on the loose, maybe fate brought us together because she doesn’t need a hero. Maybe what my beauty really needs is a villain.
For fans of Supernatural and American Horror Story, USA Today best-selling authors Meg Anne and K. Loraine are thrilled to bring you another installment in the Mate Games Universe.
Warning: The Mate Games: Death is a spicy paranormal series with a cast of antiheroes utterly devoted to their heroine (even if they haven’t realized it yet). It contains a cursed Novasgardian berserker with primal energy, a dastardly pirate captain who deals in pixie dust, a possessive fae dragon shifter who is fond of hand necklaces, and a mysterious Southern gentleman who’d show her what he liked, if only he could remember. Please refer to the authors' website for all tropes, tags, and CWs.

Right off the start there is delightful humour between Dahlia and Kiki in this next session of the Mate Games series. I love when a book has suspense, romance and humour.
Dahlia is none other than a paranormal romance author in her own right and with a frightening past. While at a gala to celebrate her successes she breaks down and is swept away to a rehab facility unlike any facility out there! This one is full of magical, mythical people and Dahlia is left wondering what rabbit hole she dropped into.
I roared with laughter in places especially when Dahlia tries to explain the rehab centre she finds herself in and the glorious men in her rehab group. Comments such as “is it my birthday, this feels like a present “ and “sweet baby Jesus in the manger with the donkey” or “ this is so good I should have made popcorn.” While Dahlia is trying to tell her friend about the gorgeous men in her group. Anyone who didn’t know of magical creatures would flip out at this facility. And of course it’s just the delicious start of another fantastical tale that is just starting with this first book. Already there’s many twists and turns and deceit and lust floating in the air. Can’t wait to hear more!!!!
The accents, the personalities brought out by the amazing performers in this multi talented audiobook will blow anyone away and captivate you.
Dahlia is going to be so lucky to have these 4!

They continue to level up on themselves and this story just shows how effortlessly they can create this beautifully evocative and sexy paranormal why choose romance that also has so much classic humour but also earnest heart to it. For this round we find ourselves whisked away to the entrancing but menacing Blackwood Asylum in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland and a backdrop of a sinister looming threat of a supernatural "Ripper" serial killer.
Its an absorbing and fascinating story which is threaded through with so many easter eggs and links to K Loraine and Meg Anne's other works and characters that this really is one for the fans. It is also a love letter for all those who fell in love with the villains and wanted to run off with them instead. But there is also an added extra to this story which immersive audio drama nerds will love, with audio effects in little extracts sprinkled throughout the book to really drill in the unsettling foreshadowing environment of this new world we are living in for this series.
They have once again managed to create a superb ensemble of characters you instantly relate to and get drawn in by, aided expertly by their stellar audio cast. Dahlia is probably my favourite of the main female characters so far in the Mate Games universe. She is effortlessly relatable as the adorable funny, sweet but awkward recluse writer who is tormented by her past and her ability to see ghosts. Of course, Queen Stella Hunter is the only one able to take on the mantle with her effortless charisma and talent and I just always want to listen to her. However, I was deliriously happy when Samantha Brentmoor made her debut in the universe and joined the cast in a delicious complement to Stella, by playing Dahlia's confident, sassy, slightly manic best friend and editor Kiki and as the mysterious Dr Masterson running the Blackwood Asylum. I have such an unashamedly hard girl crush on Samantha and it is not helped one bit listening to her in this. Sigh.
But it wouldn't be a Mate Games without the boys. And they don't slack on this one with the Jason Clarke finally getting to play the Beast of Novasgard, aka Tor Nordson twin of Alek. Anyone who ever obsessed about the Beast from Beauty and the Beast well....this one is for you. With his trademark deep gravely voice and an English accent and playing the giant softie desperately trying to battle control with his inner demon for his fated mate. Its everything.
James Joseph being given free reign once again to just run with it and create a larger than life instant fan favourite with his turn as the devilishly charming rouge fae pirate, Caspian Hook. He is a trickster but a seductive one and will lay waste to an array of fans.
John Hartley, the definition of method audio actor if I ever heard one, playing the tormented artist Scottish fae dragon Kai is something you just NEED in your life. He gives Tor a run for his money as an overly possessive slightly out of control beast who wants to lay siege to Dahlia's heart and take his gem back to his hoard.
J.F Harding gets to showcase a completely different weapon in his acting arsenal in this series by playing a completely different character than usual. He is the mysterious stranger Cain, with a lethal Southern drawl and lost memory but that doesn't stop him from being probably the most villainous of the whole harem.
All of this mixed together in a deliciously enticing cocktail of intriguing mystery, spinetingling suspense, four dominant alpha guys vying for the attentions of our lovely Dahlia, a sprinkling of intense heat and topped with wicked humour...you will never want it to stop.
#bestroundyet - Bring on the villains!!!!
