The Mate Games #2
Rejection
I made my choice, and it wasn’t him. But Kingston Farrell won’t take no for an answer, and I’m not sure I want him to.
Noah gave me his mark, made me his, and vanished all in the same night. Kingston used that moment to claim me and bind me to him irrevocably. What he couldn’t know was by sealing our bond, he set something in motion none of us can stop.
He unlocked my wolf, freed her from her cage, and she wants nothing more than to make up for lost time by starting off with a bang…literally. His mark throws me straight into my first heat. My wolf mate can give me his knot, but I’m insatiable. I need more. I need them all.
My Norse demigod.
My royal vampire.
My fated wolf.
My tortured priest.
But we can’t afford the distraction. A war is brewing, and there’s no denying I’m at the center of it all. Not when girls who look just like me keep dying.
I thought I’d gotten rid of the target on my back, but when I find myself in a demon’s clutches I know it’s not over.
Something evil is coming. It’s stalking my dreams. Making me second guess everything. And with each new attack one question looms…
What if that evil is me?
Warning: This book is not for the faint of heart. It contains an obsessive stalker, a foul-mouthed, inked and pierced werewolf, a naughty professor with a fondness for watching, a god of mischief, and plenty of heat. If you don’t like your books spicy, your men broody, built, and more bad than good, this is not the series for you. But if you do...read on, and welcome to The Mate Games.

4.5 stars
That was 70% smut and 30% plot, but I'm not really complaining because I love those suave sexy characters. I do hope the plot will be more developed in the next book though because smut can only grab my interest for so long… I need a story too and this one lacked depth.
Right after Sunday was finally able to bond with Noah at the end of Obsession, he had to leave her, again, and she is now left with a Noah-sized hole in her heart. With emotions running so high, introducing Kingston to the mix is sure to be explosive, but that’s exactly what happens as he hunts Sunday down and finds her hours after she completed her bond and was left alone. Add to that one sexy Viking that seems to always know what to do or say to win Sunday over and make her feel better, and an ex-priest that tries his best to resist the pull he feels toward Sunday, but doesn’t have much success and you have one hot and addictive sequel.
The demon threat is still there too, and we learn more about Sunday and Kingston’s backstories, as well as Caleb’s mysterious mission. I am very curious to see where this series will be heading for the two remaining books as there is one kind of shocking twist at the end of this one (it was not really unexpected, but it will change the dynamic between the characters for sure).
The first book focused a little more on Sunday’s relationship with Noah, and this one was more about Kingston and his path to redemption. While Sunday interacts with all four men in this book, there is an emphasis put on her bond with Kingston. She spends more time with him, and we get to see him redeem himself for all the shit he said in the past. He remains a typical alpha, of course, but we get to see a softer side of him when he is with Sunday, and she realizes how much she hurt him too in this book. Their relationship in Rejection is all about second chances and forgiveness. Kingston improved since the first book, and while I had conflicted feelings about his character in Obsession, I am a fan now and I like his fierce protective side and sweet devotion to Sunday. His banter with the other characters was also a very nice touch that made him even more likable.
Caleb remains a hot-as-hell character, especially if you are listening to the audiobook. His “just-the-tip” moment with Sunday? Fecking hot. Nothing else to say on the subject.
Seriously though, while I love his dilemma and his conflicted emotions since he is struggling to choose between his feelings for Sunday, and his commitment as a Priest (even if it was a long time ago), the way he freaked out and ignored Sunday after their special moment together made me so mad at him. I was not impressed.
Noah. My sweet Noah is still amazing, and awesome, and I want one just like him. I am sad and frustrated that he was separated from Sunday for a while, but hopefully, he will stick by her side now and they will live happily ever after. Once again, listening to the audiobook with his deep voice and smooth accent just makes his character even sexier too.
Alek was not as present, or intense in this book, but when he is there he shines. He always knows what to say or do to help and support Sunday. He is sweet, kind, funny, and light, but also fiercely protective and would do anything to protect her. It hurt me to see how he was sad because contrary to Shifters or vampires, he could not physically mark Sunday as his mate, but once again, he proved that he could be mature and level-headed, and he didn’t let that make him bitter and jealous. He trusts Sunday when she says that she loves him as much as the others, and I am really happy that the next book will focus a little more on his bond with her because he deserves happiness, love, and a whole lot of sunshine.
Moira remains one of the MVPs in this series, seriously. She is often the voice of reason, granted with a lot of sass and questionable jokes, but her “no-shits-taken” vibe mixed with her “I’m allergic to penis” humor is perfect for this series. She keeps Sunday on the right path, and she balances the intensity of the men surrounding Sunday in a perfect way.

“Good luck being the only hotdog bun at the sausage fest. I’ll light a candle for your vagina.”
That was 70% smut and 30% plot, but I'm not really complaining because I love those suave sexy characters. I do hope the plot will be more developed in the next book though because smut can only grab my interest for so long… I need a story too and this one lacked depth.
Noah was my peace. Kingston was my home. Alek was my superpower. And Caleb . . . well, I guess we’d find out if the infuriating priest ever decided to take that step.

“You really do love her in your own psycho macho way, don’t you?”
“She’s my mate. Of course I fucking love her.”
“What if I give you my broken heart and you realize you don’t want it?”
Shaking my head, I leaned close and kissed him softly. “I want it,” I whispered against his lips. “I want to unbreak it.”

“You’re broody, stern, angry. Never nice.”
“That’s not true.”
“It isn’t? Do you even have friends besides me and God?”
His lips quirked. “Is that what we are? Friends?”
“I don’t know. It’s not like I can just call you my spanking buddy. And you don’t like it when I call you my daddy.”

“Fuck that. Don’t make excuses for him. It’s complicated to love a woman who loves three other men too, but I do it. It’s bloody complicated to abandon my family because I know I can’t be without you and stay sane.” He slid his shirt sleeve up, exposing the traitor mark he bore for me. “I welcome the complications because the reward is worth everything. You are worth everything. Don’t let this coward make you believe you deserve this.”
Noah. My sweet Noah is still amazing, and awesome, and I want one just like him.

“Praise Jesus, hallelujah.”
“You don’t believe in Jesus.”
“Sure I do. He was a nice boy. Good beard, bad tan lines.”
I cocked a brow. “I feel like we’re crossing some kind of blasphemy line.”

Narrator(s): 🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙
Narration Type: Duet Narration – Full Cast
The heroine: Sunday - She is a wolf shifter and princess of the most powerful wolf pack though she has never been able to shift and is seen as a failure by her family and pack. She was sent to Ravenscroft University to find her wolf. Her wolf is closer to the surface than ever before but is still blocked from shifting. Though she has found four men whom she is attracted to. Her roommate, Moira is a powerful witch and had a vision telling her that Sunday must choose and the wrong choice would have dire consequences.
The Heroes: Noah, Caleb, Kingston & Alek - Noah Blackthorne (a vampire prince who knew from the beginning that Sunday was his mate despite her being a shifter, he has been dating her for months), Caleb Gallagher (a vampire and former Priest who can’t seem to fight his attraction to Sunday despite the catholic guilt he endures), Kingston Farrell (Sunday’s werewolf mate, who declared his love for her despite her constant rejection), Alek Nordson (a viking demigod who just wants to be with Sunday and has no problem with sharing her).
The Story: The first book was a great introduction to the characters and world building, but centered mostly on the relationship between Sunday and Noah. I have looked ahead at the blurb on each of the books in this series and though this series is a reverse harem, it seems like each book really focuses on Sunday’s relationship with one of the men, who is pictured on the cover of that book. This is new to me and I kind of like it, since we really get to know each character individually and at length.
This book focuses on Sunday and Kingston, the wolf mate she rejected and the next Alpha of the Farrell pack. Sunday rejected him because she was trying to save face for herself and her pack since she couldn’t shift into her wolf. Though her rejection hurt and embarrassed Kingston and he made her pay for it by talking crap about her and bullying her. Since they have been at Ravenscroft, he has both messed up with her and also declared his love and tried to protect her.
I haven’t always liked the way Sunday has treated Kingston. Sure he didn’t handle things well when they were younger and handled them even worse in book one, but Sunday wanted him from the beginning and kept rejecting him and she was never very nice about it. She kept hurting him over and over, so I felt for him and thought he deserved better.
Despite the fact that Kingston went to ease his frustrations with someone else in the first book, Sunday basically did the same thing when she went to Noah. From his point of view it was exactly the same even though for us as readers we know this is a reverse harem so it wasn’t really cheating on her part. But for Kingston, it didn’t get to that place yet in the relationship of all her men. I didn’t like the priest much in the first book because he was a bit too priestly, but I am liking him more and more. It doesn’t hurt that he is narrated by Jason Clarke who has a deep sexy voice. I also love Alek, the viking demigod who is a bit of a dashing rake and very protective of Sunday.
The book is told in multiple points of view via duet narration and narrated by a full cast. This series is narrated by Stella Hunter, Jason Clarke, JF Harding, James Joseph, Aaron Shedlock and a special appearance by Shane East. Jason Clarke, Aaron Shedlock and Shane East are some of my favorite narrators and I just love duet narration so this is a great series to listen to via audiobook!

Again, the best way to enjoy this story is by listening to the audiobooks. I had such a great time, I think they are kinda ruining other audiobook experiences for me lol
It was interesting to see Sunday’s character coded like a male alphahole. Possessive, jealous… saying things like “I want you too much, I can’t be gentle,” always horny, persuading her mates for more sex… I think it’s the first time I notice the classic male alpha archetype in a female character. It made for some interesting dynamics. I’m not sure I’m necessarily into it but if anyone has to be like that, I’d rather it was the girl. At least that brings in something new to the story.
You know what’s funny? I started this book loving Caleb and hating Kingston, and ended up switching them up lol Let me explain…
"Somewhere along the way, Sunday Fallon had become my religion. The only one I’d sworn my eternal devotion to."
Everything was going soooooooo well with Father Gallagher, aka Daddy Caleb. He was still nailing the Priest Kink, his obsession with kitty slaps was totally on point for me. His struggles between what he felt for Sunday and his beliefs was so well done.
And then he did something truly stupid that pissed me the hell off. And now I'm mad at him until he makes things right in the next book lol
His ‘Just the Tip’ moment with Sunday was probably the hottest moment in the entire book.
I understood why he resisted going all the way with Sunday. Not only because of his past as a Priest, but because of his current situation we are getting more details on as the story evolves. But the fact that he refused to open up his heart to Sunday after giving in to his desires was a deal breaker for me. I was most definitely not impressed by his antics. He ‘just the tipped’ Sunday and then ghosted her. Not cool, Daddy. Which is probably the reason why it upset me so much. Daddy characters need to be caretakers, and never act selfish. He crossed the Daddy line, which is unforgivable for me lol
“The sarcastic cut of my own inner voice made my lips curl up in amusement. I was an asshole even to myself.”
On the other hand, funnily enough, Kingston started as bad or even worse than in the first book, but once they mated together, he became this charming, mean, sassy bastard. Everything that wasn't working for me, made a 180 and started being on point. And I was suddenly into him??
Without getting into spoilers, first he won me over with how friking mean he was to the other dudes, but like, in a funny way. He was so sarcastic and blunt. I’m starting to suspect I have yet another type and sarcastic little shits may be one of them. Then he started being super supportive of Sunday and her harem, which is always a plus for me when I’m reading RH. And then, his reaction to the big reveal at the end and how much he was into it? THAT was hot.
“I love you. As you are. Simply. Completely. Without limitation.”
Noah is still husband material and she better marry him before the series ends.
Poor baby freaking out when he saw her astral projecting because he thought she was a ghost is still sending me 😂
I’m mad at the authors, though. For keeping him away for most of the story with some stupid plot device. I understand we needed time to develop the other relationships but the way it was done was weak. I’m hoping we get more Noah in the next one. And the way things ended up with him? I’m so mad. My Vampire Prince deserved better.
“Good luck being the only hotdog bun at the sausage fest. I’ll light a candle for your vagina.”
Not only is Moira hilarious, but her sapphic energy is exactly what this series needed. She’s the voice of reason while throwing shade to the ridiculousness of the story, which in turn helps to make it work. If that makes sense. I wish we got a spin off just about her.
Oh, and Alek was great. Nothing wrong about him, I just don’t care that much about him? lol

*Spoilers ahead because I got ranty.
Goddamn. Another DNF. After a great start with book #1 no less! URGH. I hate this mood I'm in.
The half of the book that I read focused heavily on Kingston and Caleb (The Priest). With every new chapter in their POV the more I hated them. Kingston is a bossy, pushy, and domineering asshole. He likes to push Sunday (the heroine) around and even when she tells him no he hears a yes. He should grovel more before being forgiven if you ask me. Caleb has an air of self-righteousness and holier-than-thou going on that I despise and he can only react to spanking when it comes time to do it. I dislike both their personalities as a whole. They're both icks that just won't go away.
I understand there's this whole other intricate plotline supposedly going on behind the scenes of Sunday and her mates but frankly, the few breadcrumbs that have been sprinkled have not been enough to get me intrigued. I'm just plain confused. I know Sunday is at the center of it and that a few leaders want to murder one of her mates for the sake of preventing *something*. If the story was interesting I could maybe overlook my hate of 2 out of the 4 mates. I think I'd be much better if someone told Sunday what was going on with her and have them deal with it altogether. But if one mate has to die I volunteer Caleb the righteous asshole.
There was a HP reference so take that how you will because it personally ticks me off.
The Audio Book:
The narration was fantastic! If there's one thing I can recommend from thsi book it's the audio narration. Full cast gloriousness!

When you thought you were in an obsession with The Mate Games, here comes REJECTION to crank up the kink and the drama! Book 2 gives us more backstory for why Kingston is the bully to Sunday’s bravado telling us how everything went wrong for the two of them. But just when you think Sunday has chosen one mate, he vanishes (as vampires tend to do) and in steps Kingston to protect her and awaken her long dormant wolf.
Meg Anne & K. Loraine laid the foundation for Sunday’s world in Obsession and now we see the intrigue begin to playout with attacks from demons and hunters. Why is Sunday now the focus of attacks only when she’s arrived at Ravenswood Academy, not locked away at her grandfather’s home? Who has her safety in mind and can the men that have taken her under their wings be trusted? The layering the two authors have created in this series is sensational making you want to keep the pages turning or the audio playing.
The banter between Kingston and all the characters is just next level, as not only do you see his hurt and vulnerability, but you see his comedy that is at the heart of his happier personality. Sunday and Kingston discovering their love for each other is beautiful after so much hurt, but their connection doesn’t stop with each other. We start to see the bond Sunday feels with each of her men – rejected wolf mate, vampire prince, demi-god, & forbidden priest also develop between each other. The authors throw in every single kink you could ever want in a fantasy reverse harem situation, but the way they weave the emotional relationship building is what makes this series exciting and devour-worthy.
Audio fans will need all the fangirl triage items nearby as the words Meg Anne and K. Loraine amassed become truly delicious feasts in the hands of voice acting superstars Stella Hunter, James Joseph, J.F. Harding, Aaron Shedlock & Jason Clarke. Each actor in this full cast performance steps up and nails their character voice so well that you always feel like you are listening in on actual conversations, not just a listener of an audiobook. Stella’s Sunday is brave in the face of fear and palpable with the emotions she is working through with each of her devoted crew of suiters. She then transitions easily to the voice of best friend Moira and other side characters – including the French accented Head Mistress making her #GirlCrush worthy.
The gentlemen all become their characters so well that you are expecting real life conversations between J.F. Harding and James Joseph to be just as full of banter as Kingston and Noah do in the text. Aaron Shedlock is the Norse god you didn’t know you needed in your ears, but his kindness and loyalty voiced become something you hear when reading the text, too. Then there’s the Irish Priest-turned-Vampire that is Jason Clarke setting us all ablaze with his strict taboo professor role – as if we needed one more reason to adore #JasonEffingClarke. The entire audio is not only award worthy, but fills aural fans with all the reasons we love Romance Audio. Oh, and the special guest appearances are scream worthy, too!
Meg Anne & K. Loraine laid the foundation for Sunday’s world in Obsession and now we see the intrigue begin to playout with attacks from demons and hunters.

HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO REJECTION!
First thing's first. I do not hate Kingston anymore, but don't like him either.
He did improve a lot in Rejection, but he was still pulling his old tricks and I am not having it. If he isn't 10000001% devoted to Sunday without question in the third book, I'm going to throw him a stick so far, he'll never be able to come back with it.
NO BUT SERIOUSLY, he let his pack members get inside his head. You couldn't sniff the meddlers out, could you Kingston?
Judging by the blurb of the next book he's going to be very present so I'm expecting he'll finally grow on me then. For now, he's still my least favourite. But, I will admit that some of the scenes with him and Sunday were hot, like the one where he thought she was dead, then she wasn't and you'll need to read the book to see what happened later.
Oh, and Alek's book is next, which has me super excited. I'm wondering how that will go, considering how this one ended. But we didn't just get Kingston and Sunday. We also got Noah, Alek and Caleb when the moment called for it so we'll probably get their PoVs again even when it's not their turn.
Alek was a sweetheart here as expected. I'm happy he joined the group officially, now we just need Father dearest to get over himself and under someone else *cough* Sunday *cough*.
SPEAKING OF, THE FATHER CALEB SCENES WERE AMAZING. He won't steal Alek's spot as my favourite, but they can share right? They share everything else, so why not that too? Exactly. It's decided.
I can't wait to listen to the audiobook later, and yes, feel free to blame Caleb for that, it's all his fault.
Finally Noah...pretty much the same opinion as I had in Obsession. He was gone even longer this time, and eventually appeared when Sunday needed him the most so props for that. ALTHOUGH, it seems he'll be gone yet again in Possession, at least emotionally and sir. Sir. SIR. If you don't stop your shenanigans and be there for Sunday no matter what, I'm going to start giving you the Kingston treatment. Mhm.
Oops I almost forgot to mention Sunday, the reason these guys exist (AND THEY BETTER NOT FORGET IT!). She found her wolf! I'm proud. But also kinda sad because of something that happens later. It's a trope I like, but I wish she got to shift a few more times and enjoy her wolfy freedom before getting into that situation where she can't do it anymore until it's over.
And her mother...still a mess, but in an insane way. Is she alive? Is she dead? I don't know, but she's creepy. There's an extra mystery there, one that will be resolved soon.
AND STILL NO CROMBIE! WHERE OH WHERE IS HE??? I miss him.

If you are looking for hot sexual scenes this has it. If you require a solid storyline as well.....this may not be for you.
I found this far too predictable. At times similar to book 1. Even the sensual scenes...which were hot....were similar to book 1.
Happy reading,
DD 🥂

(audiobook) It’s official: I’m in love. I know, it’s a reverse harem, so the main interest is that the heroine has multiple lovers. But we can have preferences, right? And mine is Kingston. So, of course, I was excited to read his book–well, the other characters are here too, but it’s the book where Sunday chooses him as a love interest too. And I wasn’t disappointed.
As he showed in the previous book, he’s a lost little boy who’d had his heart broken and who didn’t know how to deal with it. We see less of the bully he’s become though, and more of the lovesick puppy. Literally, since he’s a werewolf! He’s a key character in Sunday’s arc too, as he’s the one who pushes her wolf to come forward. Because of their similar nature, and because of the feelings they shared all this time while keeping them a secret, when they finally meet for real, and get together, it’s hot!
In this book, Kingston isn’t Sunday’s only lover, and she has some alone time with other characters. Basically, with all her love interests. Together. Yes, you read it right! The previous book was steamy–this one will melt your insides.
And that’s because Sunday’s starting to understand who she is, and accepts it. And her urges. As in a true coming of age story, she’s growing into her own skin. And it isn’t an easy fit, as the revelations… I mean, without spoiling the story, there were a couple of interesting twists. The hint we got at the end of the previous book at a bigger story, one that could change the world, isn’t a hint anymore. Expect secret society, prophecies, the whole shebang.
And fights. This book is a bit more violent and gory than the previous one. I didn’t mind at all. My only complaint is that, clearly, the adults of the school are terrible at keeping their students alive. It’s puzzling that they don’t simply close the school and send the kids back home. Oh well. At least we get some exciting fights.
Thanks to the amazing cast, it’s definitely a book worth listening to. Once again, each narrator embodies their character perfectly. Special mention to Kingston’s narrator who blew my mind. I told you, I’m in love.

*ALC received from Audibly Addicted in exchange for my honest review. *
If you thought, you were obsessed with The Mate Games get ready for Rejection where everything is more! More obsession, more drama, and MORE HEAT!! Meg Anne and K. Loraine somehow upped the steam from book one from about an 8 to a 12 and let me tell you, my knickers were incinerated!!
Sunday rejected Kingston but the alpha wolf isn't going to sit back and take it. She is his. The fates have decided that she is made for him, and he won't let anyone get in his way.
On the very night Sunday seals her fate to the man she loves he disappears and there is a huge hole in her heart where Noah resides. With Noah's leaving and Sunday's emotions at all-time high events are set in motion that finally set her wolf free. In freeing her beast, she has also unlocked a part of herself that only Kingston can touch. Only he can relieve the ache that she is feeling.
As if a missing vampire mate and an alpha shifter aren't enough, she also has a Norse demi-god that she knows owns a part of her as well. The deliciously handsome Viking might not be able to mark her as his but that doesn't mean she isn't. Sunday is also caught in a web of dark desire with Father Gallagher, but he won't let her in. Every time she thinks he is about to admit his feelings his walls go up even higher. She can't survive without him anymore than she can survive without the others.
The audio gods were looking down upon us with this cast, cause seriously damn!! J.F. Harding done did the damn thing, though. He won this narration for me. He was every bit the alpha wolf I would have expected for a character like Kingston. If Father Gallagher was any sexier with that brogue someone would have to revive me. Jason Clarke melted my headphones with that voice, gah!! That is not all though, with Aaron Shedlock, Stella Hunter and James Joseph as well as a special appearance by Shane East this book is here for all your audible pleasures. Literally.
Evil is looming at Ravenscroft University and Sunday along with her mates have to find a way to keep her safe or risk starting something that no one alive can stop.

ARC/ALC Review
OMG, this series! I am addicted! Rejection literally starts with a bang! I mean, dayum, the steam in this book is insane! Trust Meg Anne and K Loraine to switch up the heat a few more notches. They went all out! So, hold on to your knickers, get your fans, water, and cold showers at the ready as you will need them! Hallelujah and Amen!
In the 2nd book of the Mate Games series, we get more insight into Kingston’s tortured soul, his initial unrequited love for Sunday and reasons of why she rejected him, but he is #KingOfTheDickSwingers for a reason and proves it too. Besides them sorting out their differences, Sunday´s story development is interesting and jaysus it´s spicy as her sexual appetite is getting insatiable and she has needs only all her mates can satisfy (special reference to Chapter 25 – what a scorcher 🔥🔥🔥). Then there is the undeniable sexual push ‘n pull with a certain priest that will certainly hold your interest. That Father Caleb definitely has a HARD time keeping his vows under control.
I really enjoyed the pace of the story, and the description of places, smells, situations, and appearances, which are remarkably detailed. Although the storyline is very decadent, there is also a great balance of suspense, emotional moments, and mystery. It´s great how the different stories/worlds fade together, and the thought of world build is also distinctive.
Overall, it was so much fun reading & listening as the banter and one-liners just made me crack up, laugh, and chuckle as many times as the explicit steam and delectable racy scenarios had me in hot flashes causing dehydration. This really makes ALL the steamy reverse harem fantasies come true! And HOLY SAINTS, THIS AUDIO! I already read the book but WOAH this audio cast is just phenomenal! They all more than delivered! James Joseph, JF Harding, Aaron Shedlock and Jason Clarke will give you all the smoulders, whispers, growls and more, whereas Stella gives us accents galore, sass and a lot of spice. This is one spiced-up delicious aural treat to feast your ears. Again, look out for a special guest (Hello Shane East) and fun easter eggs.
Am I ready for Possession? Hell yes, I AM!!!!

I almost DNF
This was seriously a struggle for me. I almost didn't finish. First of all, she treats one mate better than she treats all her other mates and in a reverse harem that's really disappointing to read. While her wolf mate can be sweet some of the time the entire first book he's nothing but a major jerk who puts her down at every turn. The minute she turns into a wolf and goes into heat they're in instant love and become different people. Not to mention he cheated on her but I guess we're just going to ignore that part . Her mates are also supposed to be all powerful, like the most powerful in school and yet after she mates each one they disappear on her and leave the book for a while and are locked down somewhere. It's seriously repetitive and like... why?
This is just a personal opinion but I also really can't stand the character of Caleb. It's just not my thing it could be someone else's kink but the whole bringing religion into it, constantly bringing Bible verses into sex play (he's a priest but he's not anymore because hes a vampire AND 138 year old virgin so must stay away from temptation) who also whips/flogs himself until hes bleeding every time he's tempted by her but then does "Daddy play" too it just gives me the creeps... I skipped entire chapters with those two.
Then you know those books that constantly hint on how this feminine character is supposed to be so powerful that she's dangerous to the whole world but she can't even defend herself or take her arm away from someone that's dragging her somewhere? It's like choose a personality, is she supposed to be so powerful and so scary that she's going to end the world or is she so weak that she can't even walk down the hallway without even being attacked and can't possibly yank her own arm out of people kidnapping her because both happens in the book multiple times. It's seriously inconsistent and one of the main reasons why I'm not finishing the series.

Plot ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Vibes 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Multi-1st person POV
Alright, another character-driven book with not much plot development other than in short bursts and then every other chapter has spice in it but I am just addicted. Sunday's in heat for almost the entire book lol. I can see why this wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea but it is doing something for me. I love the BFF Moira and I'm really getting annoyed with Caleb, the priest. Get your shit together dude. The back and forth is fucking annoying. The conflict is definitely on the backburner and they still don't know about her ancestry or why she's different. There's only 4 books so hopefully some movement is made soon. Another cliffy but again, the entire series is released so not that big of a deal to me.

LOVING this series! Book three comes to audio next Monday. can't wait!

I might have finished this book faster than Obsession. The pacing is faster and the smut is plentiful. Be prepared to fall for Kingston if you haven't yet. (Though Caleb is still my #1!) The story twists and turns, leaving your heart pounding by the end.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

UUUUGGGGHHHH YES. This series is just absolutely fantastic.
Not only is the smut absolutely TOP TIER, the plot is actually super interesting and I find myself being SO invested in all of it and all the characters.
The audiobook with the full cast is TO DIE FOR. Cant get over the accents and how much they bring all the characters to life.
Its just a really great time all around and I reel like it has a little bit of somethin for everyone.
So good guys, def give it a shot if you haven’t yet.

★2.5/5!
I’m confused on how I feel about this book, it was good and interesting but boring and confusing at the same time. If you asked me to tell you what happened in this book I wouldn’t be able to expect for the last 3 chapters ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Still feels like a silly goofy time type series. Dialog is cringey, but in an over the top funny way. The reason for the lower rating on this one was the FMC using her "heat" as an excuse to coerce and essentially SA one of the MMC. That chapter really grossed me out.

OMG!!! Just when I was thought I was blown away by Book 1 "Obsession" here comes Book 2 "Rejection" blowing me away again....thought I was about to lose my Wig this time. LOL
Sunday was on cloud 9 after officially bonding with Noah only for him to leave her AGAIN in a forced attempt to keep her safe. This was the same night that Kingston helped her to unleash her wolf and give her his mark. Kingston has been longing for Sunday for 7 long years ever since her first rejection towards him. He started out a jerk in Book 1 but after mating with Sunday he was an absolute sweetheart. There was nothing he wouldn't do for Sunday, and he accepted the fact that she also had 3 other Mates in addition to himself.
The love between Sunday and Kingston grew throughout this book and unlike Noah; Kingston never left Sunday’s side unless it was due to circumstances out of his control. Kingston, Alex, and Noah created an unspoken truce in Book 1, and it was refreshing to see the guys still working together and depending on one another in keeping Sunday safe. Between Sunday’s mates Kingston and Alex has the best working relationship because when you saw Kingston with Sunday; Alex was never too far behind and vice versa. All the guys love Sunday completely and accepted the fact that Fate chose the 4 of them to be her Mates. Sunday’s relationship with Noah, Kingston, Alex and Caleb is hot enough to set the pages on fire. Being marked by Kingston has thrown her into perpetual heat that her mates are all too willing to attend to at any given time.
I love Sunday and not because she has 4 big sticks to choose from but because she always wanted her wolf and was ecstatic when she finally emerged. Sunday is trying to navigate life and get answers for the dreams she keeps having with her mother starring in a recurring role. Ravenscroft University is under constant attack by demons who are returning to the surface, and they are all after Sunday. When Sunday's dream reveals a clue about her mother's true identity, she finds herself racing against an invisible clock to prevent the cause of the demon attacks.
This book leaves you on the edge of your seat because you really don't know who to trust at this point. There are too many Secrets, Hidden Agendas, Betrayals and Surprises at every turn. All things that pales in comparison to the fact that Sunday is the Harbinger of the Apocalypse, and she doesn't even know it yet but one of her Mates does.
Ending with an emotional Cliffhanger as one of her Mates leave Sunday in an attempt to keep her safe which in turn has caused the darkness within that she didn’t know she possessed to come forth. What will happen now that Sunday’s dark side is trying to emerge? The Seals leading to the Apocalypse are opening fasting than anticipated.
I literally cannot wait to see what’s next in store for Sunday and her men at Ravenscroft University.
This Fast Burn Novel has it all: Vampires, Werewolves, Demigods, Demons, Witches, Secret Societies, Mystery, Knotting, All out Battles and insatiable Werewolf Heat.

It’s an entertaining story but got bogged down in the middle and I lost interest for some time.
Sunday adds to her harem and deals with the Priest, Caleb, being hot and cold. The steam is much higher in this book than in book one.
The audiobook version is phenomenal and worth the credit. Full-cast performances make for a richer experience.

This book is so ridiculous…but I love it 😂
If you’re hoping this book has a meaningful plot you will be disappointed. This book is pretty much a bunch of sexual scenarios with the barest hint of plot.

I believe I feel similar to how I did about book one: good plot/character ideas but not enough development of either, including way too quick relationship development that leans heavily on fated mates to bolster that there is no reason for them all to be in love so quickly. There is a lot of sex (both in action and in conversation/jokes) and most of it is good but it just illustrates how there isn't much else going on in the book/series. Even so, I'm a sucker for a tortured virgin priest hero (and thank you to the authors for the "tip" - my favorite!), so I'll keep on keeping on.

This book was so much better than the first. I loved the ending yet again. It’s like I have no idea what the point of any of this is until the end when I finally get important plot information, but I’m not complaining lol. Caleb can spank me any day. That is all.

“I will burn the world to ashes if I’m faced with the choice between you and it. You are the only right thing in my life.”
Loved everything about this!💯
-Kingston finally getting his mate. (So fucking hot🥵)
-Noah taking a backseat but coming back strong for his love
-Finally seeking Alek find his place in Sunday’s heart but then being ripped away 🥹
-Daddy Caleb ☠️ I got all the emotion his tortured soul🙈
-Moira continuing to be freaking awesome
While I’m still not 100% sure what is going on with the overarching plot with these seals, I’m definitely entertained and totally invested.

The spice is really hot somehow in these books.
Caleb drives me crazy and I’m getting a bit annoyed by him tbh.
Kingston is growing on me a lot.

“God, we’re like the beginning of a bad joke. The Antichrist, a vampire, and a priest walk into a bar . . .”
Sunday Fallon doesn’t know exactly what she is but one of her mates is keeping a huge secret. What he’s supposed to do, who he really is, what SHE is….
“She was the woman whose destiny was tied to my eternal soul’s freedom. The woman I was sworn to sacrifice if all the seals were opened. The woman I could never let go. Sunday Fallon. Harbinger of the Apocalypse.”
Despite daddy priest reluctant behavior, Sunday has mated with all other mates. When means she’s opened nearly all the seals. But she doesn’t know that… she’s skit trying to go to school, learn about her wolf and shifting, and dealing with her men and their drama.
Okay and theirs also the demon issues but so far so good. lol.
This series is spicy and full of drama. I’m loving it.
