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.

The great writing team of Meg Anne and K. Loraine have outdone themselves with this spinoff of the “Mate Games” series, not only did they turn up the heat a notch but they introduce some new and exciting paranormal characters. The audio also included the prequel, Gavin Donoghue and Roslyn “Rosie” Blackthorne’s arranged marriage and rush wedding, Gavin, a Dom had plans for his new wife, have her submit to him completely, but he never had time to because she fled and then got herself killed. Or did she, Roslyn, definitely fled after faking her own death, and needing a new identity she knew who she needed to see to make that happen, Asher, who is hiding out in small shifter town in Alaska. One problem with that town is they hate vampires, and Roslyn, who is a hybrid, part human, part vampire, would be considered an enemy despite never fully turning into a vampire, which made her special and the reason the Donoghues wanted her blood. Asher who is hiding away up in Alaska agrees to help Roslyn and they come up with a new look and identity for her, Nadia, the only problem is ridding of her scent, he was going to get a witch to help but after too much time on her hands and moonshine Roslyn winds up summoning a demon, Pan, and they make a deal that will hide who she is, a deal that will bind her to him. Asher gets her a job at the Mercer brother’s bar and an apartment to live above the bar. The Mercer twins are wolf shifters, Remington and Asher are more than friends, the chemistry between them is smoking hot, Bentley, the older of the two and the alpha, is drawn to Nadia/Roslyn and after seeing her helplessness he takes it upon himself to help her. Nadia/Roslyn is building a new life with these men, Ben, Remi, and Asher, and she wants that except Pan is threatening their existence and when she tries to tell him she filled the deal, he has none of that. Another complication arrives in Alaska, Gavin is there and learns that she is still alive. And something else is amiss in Aurora Springs, Alaska, someone or something is on a killing spree and they arrest the wrong person. Wow, this is one action packed and brilliantly plotted story, it has plenty of drama, some humor, angst, twists and turns, heartfelt emotions, and some steamy romance.

🎧📚🎧  And for the amazing narration and lineup of talent, J.F. Harding, Jacob Morgan, James Joseph, John Hartley, Stella Hunter, Teddy Hamilton were the perfect cast to bring these characters and story to life, Each one as brilliant as the other in their prospective roles and their performances and voices complemented each other’s perfectly. Stella Hunter nailed it as Roslyn, British accent and all, John Hartley’s Gavin was alpha all the way, just as intended, Teddy Hamilton’s Asher was perfection too, James Joseph’s Pan was both chilling and hot, Jacob Morgan was great as Remi and last but not least was J.F Harding’s Bentley, he made it so easy to fall in love with him. This multi-cast is a definite treat for the ears, they set the perfect tone for the story and captured all the character’s emotions and projected them into their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

Wow, what an introduction into two new tropes #reverseharem (RH) and #paranormal (PRN)!

It was an incredible yarn but best experienced in audio as its multi-cast #duet and it is phenomenal!  I've also found two new narrators #jamesjoseph and #johnhartley to add to my list!

If you are reading, remember to read the prequel "Promised to the Night" which is included in the audio.

This is full of smut and Rosie is such a sl*t and can barely keep her knickers on from one chapter to the next while pleasuring the demon and  her mates, but perhaps that's because she's a vampire. What I didn't get was surely if you mate with one, you can't mate with everyone?? Anyway I suppose I'll get used to the idea as it's my first shape shifter book too!!

I now can't wait for book #2 to drop next month and  I may be in the minority but I'm on Gavin's Side!  😉

Narrators:

Gavin = John Hartley
Pan = James Joseph
Asher = Teddy Hamilton
Remi = J.F. Harding
Ben = Jacob Morgan
Rosie = Stella Hunter

Wow, what an introduction to RH and PRN!

I’ve finished all four books in the pestilence series and I am here for it! I thought I enjoyed the first mate games series (war) but this one’s even better! The characters are so thorough and enjoyable.. it unlocked kinks I didn’t know I had lol.
The narrators were excellent - gave the characters life and depth. Especially enjoyed Pans voice because it suited him so much and I always knew I’d enjoy what’s about to happen when it was his POV.

Yes yes yes

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.

What an opener! This first book in the Mate Games Pestilence series has it all, swoony shifters, hot vamps, devilish demons, romance, a bit of MM action and even a tail.

This is a brilliant introduction to a new group of characters, with a few spicy moments and some scenes that will have you laughing so hard.

I cannot wait to see what happens next.

The summer of 2022 was amazing because it gifted the world with the first Mate Games series from the genius writers K Loraine and Meg Anne. I became instantly addicted to that series, it was practically perfect and I have constantly re-read it because that story and those characters mean so much to me.

So, how do K Loraine and Meg Anne top that? If I was them I would be too daunted to even try. The fans adored Sunday and her four men so will we ever be able to live up to that? I really should have had more faith. Not only did they live up to it, they clearly just sat down and went right everything we ever want to put in to this series lets just do it! This is next level and there are no safe words ;)

And I am here for it. This is a scorching hot, filthy, decadent, intensely sexy and thrilling ride of a book....and its only book 1!!! I don't know if I can stand it but I think it is official and I will submit to K Loraine and Meg Anne wherever they want to take me.

At the centre of this new series, is Roslynn Blackthorn, (played with an exceptional British accent by Stella Hunter) who is the kind, sweet, naive and unworldly princess who ends up on the run and hides out in Aurora Springs, Alaska. But she is also clever, brave and resourceful and determined to do whatever she must to keep her family safe. It is hard not to love her.

She finds allies in the elusive but sexy hacker Asher and the Shifter Mercer Twins Ben and Remi. An added bonus, missing from the first Mate Games, is the MM element between Asher and Remi and just praying that develops over the next three books.

But there are a couple of seductive anti-hero bad boys in this one too. Our Rosie ends up in an intense "deal" with the wickedly enticing demon, Pan (played to perfection by James Joseph) which awakens her latent sexual desires and then of course, there is the little matter of her estranged husband, the vampire Duke of Tears, Gavin who will do anything to track down his wife.

I love this book so much, it is just too intoxicating and there are plenty of hot and racy scenes so as not to disappoint you.

Before we go any further, you can ONLY experience this book in audio. The authors have assembled for you a handpicked stellar cast of actors to PERFORM this book for you like your very own audio drama. It's the height of aural decadence going on here with a smorgasbord headed up by the Queen of Audio herself, Stella Hunter. She rules over all she surveys, as usual, but absolutely crushes it as the sweet kindhearted Rosie who just happens to need a bit (OK a lot) of pain to go with her pleasure. Her talents are put on another showcase in this one as she takes on everyone from a no nonsense American shifter barmaid, a creepy Irish vampire and everyone's favourite demon, Lilith. I could listen to Stella all day, everyday....and that's not far off reality.

Returning to play in this series are the truly wonderful J.F Harding as my personal favourite, the grumpy Alpha Ben and James Joseph in an absolutely sensational Tom Ellis-esque turn as the demon Pan. I spend way too much time imagining (and praying) for these two actors to do more stories together **Hint to the Audio Universe**

Joining the Mate Games Universe in this book are some high calibre actors, the silkily seductive John Hartley really brings the sadist vampire Gavin to life in a way no one else can. Teddy Hamilton was born to play the moody and sarcastic hacker Asher and brings his unique humour to the book which sparks beautifully with the equally brilliant, and his regular collaborator, Jacob Morgan who plays the irresistible flirt Remi. You can see why #Jeddy is an electric fan favourite and the authors have delivered them up to the fans on a platter in this one.

This is one of those magnificent gems of a creation which had me praying that the audiobook would never end. Every chapter, every twist, every moment had me salivating for more and made me want to hit replay again. I have listened to this multiple times and it never ever fails to deliver. I love you Meg and Kim!!! Give us all the books, now!!!

Pure aural decadence of the highest order!

Never listened to a full cast before and by God I’ve been missing out! Story is wonderfully narrated. Jacob Morgan as Remi is just yummy scrummy and so funny! Stella Hunter as Rosie/Nadia is also an absolute treat. Its very spicy in part and they do like to say the C word a lot but I’ll forgive that. It’s such an engaging storyline and I will defo be purchasing book 2

What a wild ride!!’

A sassy vampire hybrid; a set of hunky wolf shifter twins; a cursed, lovable hacker; a deviant, determined demon; and an intimidating, scorned (ex-)husband … oh my! K. Loraine and Meg Anne are taking us on another wild, intense ride with their brand-new dark, twisty, steamy why choose paranormal romance series, that’s for sure! And if you’re an audio lover like I am, you’ll probably die and go straight to heaven, just like I did, with a multicast like this one. I mean – Stella Hunter, John Hartley, James Joseph, Teddy Hamilton, Jacob Morgan, and J.F. Harding all in one audio – and in a high-steam story, chock-filled with secrets, mate bonds, danger and murder like this one? Eargasm deluxe! Even if audios aren’t usually your jam, I highly recommend to give this one a try!

I'm in audio lover heaven

The story was good. The ensemble cast as usual is fabulous. But I’m afraid all the stuttering spoiled it for me. It actually made me very anxious and tight chested as if I couldn’t breath. Please say that as soon as they mate, it will miraculously cure him.

Good continuation of the Mate Games

Okay so I'm going to need these awesome authors and narrators to find a way of actually achieving immortality themselves so that they can keep doing stuff like this. Because it's all round perfect.

Great story with a good amount of naughtiness, and brilliant characters with a fantastic performance.

Also, I need to find myself a Remmy!

Favourite Series!
