Sin: The Mate Games

Apocalypse, Book 1

De: Meg Anne, K. Loraine

Narrado por: Stella Hunter, Jason Clarke, James Joseph, J.F. Harding, Shane East, Teddy Hamilton, Christian Fox

I always thought I’d start the apocalypse. Instead I’ve been asked to help end it.

How does one stop the end of the world, you might ask? You gotta knock up Lucifer’s vessel before he does.

I know, I know. I was surprised too. But let me tell you, if ever there was an incubus made for the job, it’s me.

With a name like Sin, you’d think this should have been the easiest task I’d ever been assigned. And you’d be correct. Except said vessel is a beautiful and dangerously powerful succubus in her own right. Oh, and she’s not interested.

Not in me or any of the other horsemen who were assigned to protect her. Yup, that’s right. The four horsemen of the apocalypse are back.

War
Pestilence
Famine
Death

She may not be our biggest fan, but one of us has to be her baby’s daddy. Which is why she’s been forced to live with us until we get the job done. We’ve never been very good at sharing. Or at saving things instead of destroying them, but when you know who calls in a favor, you don’t say no.

The Doomsday clock is ticking, so save the world it is.

Now if only we could get Merri to play ball. Because if we don’t find a way to get her pregnant before he does, then it’s not just the end of us. It’s the end of everything.

For fans of Supernatural and American Horror Story, USA Today bestselling authors Meg Anne and K. Loraine are thrilled to bring you the final installment in the Mate Games Universe.

Warning: The Mate Games: Apocalypse is a spicy paranormal series featuring morally gray heroes whose methods of protection aren’t always above board. Not that you can expect much honor from a celibate recluse, an incubus rockstar, the original shadow daddy, and a grumpy ex-Spartan. They are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, after all.

THE STORY IS SOO GOOD

The story telling is SO GOOD just like all of the other books in the series. I don’t want the series to end!!!!

Excellent voice actors to go with the engaging content

Loved the different voice actors. The storyline kept me wanting more. The ending is def a cliff hanger.

Narration Spot On

This dynamic writing duo has done it yet again! The full cast of narration is the absolute best ever and I listened to Sin in one go! So excited to see the next book in the Apocalypse series. Don’t miss out on this book especially in audio.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Great combination of steam, spice and sass

This series is not for everyone. Definitely go to the website and check the content warnings before diving in. If you don't love spicy paranormal why-choose epics filled with lust, swearing, fighting, possessive, morally grey guys with accents and supernatural powers, this is not the series for you. If you read that list and said "check, check, check..." welcome, my friend, you have found your happy place.

That said, you want to experience all of these series in order, so go back and experience the other Mate Games series, War, Pestilence and Death, first. It's worth the investment of your time. Then come back here to start Apocalypse. This will then make you go through to all of K. Loraine's and Meg Anne's backlists. Again, worth the investment of your time.

After failing to end the world in the prior three Mate Games series, our fourth harbinger is up. Our female lead, Merri, is not thrilled to learn that she's Lucifer's intended vessel, and she's even less happy to learn that her Auntie Lilith has sent the four horsemen of the apocalypse to guard her. Sin, Malice, Grimsby and Chaos are not who Merri wants to spend her time with at first, but the sparks inevitably fly, and the sparks are giant flames. Given the title, Sin, a lot of the focus is on Sin as the most charming, enigmatic incubus ever tasked with knocking up our heroine before Lucifer gets his hands on her. The charm, flirt and banter just ooze out of Sin, and he was easily my favorite character so far in the series.

The world that Meg and Kim have built throughout these series is just phenomenal and so much fun to experience. Their attention to detail, their creativity, their willingness to go where you don't think they will and take you on a journey that makes you slightly uncomfortable with just how attracted you are to morally grey, makes these series such epic experiences. They create a dirty, flirty, edge-of-your-seat way to escape reality.

I firmly believe this book is best experienced in audio, because the all-star cast that they have assembled for this is one of the best in the business hands down. This multi-cast recording features Stella Hunter as Merri and reprising everyone's favorite Lilith, Shane East as Grimsby and reprising his role as Crombie, J.F. Harding as Sin, Jason Clarke as Chaos, and James Joseph as Malice in the lead roles, with Teddy Hamilton and Christian Fox in featured roles. Did I almost spontaneously combust a few times listening to this cast? Yes. Yes, I did. Did Christian Fox make me not hate the bad guy and sign my own deal with Lucifer? Yessir. Did Stella Hunter make me a jealous, jealous woman? Yes, she did. A+ narration.

That cliff-hanger ending - O.M.G. I need more! Can't wait to see where Meg, Kim, Merri and the four horsemen are going to take us next.

Wow, Another Winner!!

So these authors are amazing! When they write, it’s an automatic download. I was so sad when the mate games ended, but then saw we would get one more series, I was ecstatic! This book pretty much goes a step further with the whole Apocalypse as it’s getting real. I love that we have the original horseman back as I didn’t care for women horseman. It definitely ends on a crazy cliffhanger, which is crazy. Hoping the next book will be out soon, but it will be worth the wait.

Fullcast Duet Audio Perfection!!!

Another great addition to this amazing interconnected mate games series. I love how each chapter is different. Sexy, funny, great plot, great characters, and even better narrators. Never complaints about this series. Always one of my top suggestions when people ask for new books. Can’t wait to continue this last chapter. Hoping there’s a book for each guy.

I am obsessed with this series!

Oh wow…(fanning cheeks) – Sin was, in a word, SINFUL. This is the first book in the Apocalypse trilogy within the Mate Games. I will be VERY sad when this universe is over since this is the last trilogy within the Mate Games since I have loved EVERY SINGLE BOOK.

In this first book, it focuses on the 4 horsemen that we met in the previous trilogy – Grim (death), Chaos (war), Malice (pestilence), and Sin (famine). They are told by Lillith that it is imperative that they keep her ward, Merri, safe and away from Lucifer since she is destined to be the vessel he uses to start the apocalypse. We also met Merri in the last trilogy, and she is an uber-powerful succubus. She makes her living and feeding by doing web cams and chats. She is completely innocent though and is afraid to go any further with men since she accidentally drained her first boyfriend.

Even though each of the horsemen initially don’t want anything to do with Merri, slowly each of them has become not only very protective of her but want her for themselves. I can’t wait to see how this all plays out in the following books.

I was able to read and listen to the audiobook and they are BOTH amazing. I will say the audiobook is especially fun since it is done with a FULL cast and can hear each of the characters voices as a different person. They even bring back people from the previous books and their voices. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!

As I stated earlier, I am completely obsessed with this series, and I really hope that Meg and Kim keep writing these types of books together for a LONG time to come.

Sin

This is Merri and the four horsemen's story. Can Grimsby, Chaos, Malice, and Sinclair protect her? If not there will be a apoclypse. Her being a succubus can they keep their hands to themselves? You bet not, there are sex scences.

Best of audiobooks

If you haven’t read the other Mate Games series (War, Pestilence and Death) they are must before this book. Ok back to Sin, it’s amazing, the banter, the writing, the plot, the spice and especially the narration. This is definitely a must read and worth every bit of your credit!

Another great Mate Games Series

I absolutely adore the narrators for all of the Maye Games books. I’m DYING for the whole series to be released tomorrow haha.
