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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

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.

Love love love this book

Overall Thoughts: Holy four horsemen of the apocalypse, Batman! I have loved every series of the mate games, and will be doing a realist of War next month for my birthday! Now about this book, I have very high expectations given the past series and this book blew them out of the water. All the teasing, and promos leading up to release had me on the edge, and boy did it deliver. I have no complaints about this book, it is a great start to what is sure to be an epic ending (even though I am sad it is ending). Stella Hunter is amazing as Merri, and her bratty, seductive personality is top notch. Jason Clarke is the embodiment of Chaos (War). JF Harding, is fantastic as Sin (Famine). James Joseph gives something special to Malice (Pestilence), and new to the cast this time is Shane East as Grim (Death) rounding out the grumpy Brits. Christian Fox also lends his voice as Lucifer, and is perfect. Teddy Hamilton also reprises his role as the Hacker Asher, with surprise appearances by some of our other favorite characters from earlier series.

Merri is a celibate succubus taken by the four horsemen in order to stop the end of the world. She works at Iniquity as a cam girl and feeds off the sexual desires of her fans.

Our four dark and broody horsemen consist of Sinclair (Sin) aka Famine, Grimsby (Grim) aka Death, Chaos aka War, and Malice aka Pestilence. With the goal of getting Merri pregnant before Lucifer does and ushers in the next apocalypse.

Between keeping Merri safe, fighting of demons, and fighting amongst the men, it isn't long before things are coming apart at the seams. Will their common goal bring them together, or will it be their downfall?

Yes Yes Yes

Narration literally pinnacle of perfection.
Story was great Merri got on my nerves just a smidge but I warmed to her.
Smut was good but way to sparse for my preference.

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.
