About this book

Exiled to the brutal confines of Blackwood, a fallen dragon shifter has spent years rotting in the shadow of his own destructive legacy. Once destined to be a hero, he became a monster, resigned to a life of solitude and shame. That is, until Dahlia, his fated mate, shattered his walls and ignited a desperate, possessive need to protect her. Now, he is one of four lethal men—a Viking, a pirate, a god, and a dragon—fighting to keep their queen alive against a rising tide of supernatural darkness.

As the Ripper stalks the halls of Blackwood, the tension reaches a breaking point. This installment in the high-stakes Mate Games universe masterfully balances intense, slow-burn yearning with the raw, dark edge of paranormal romance. The chemistry between the leads is scorching, fueling a narrative where the stakes are life and death, and the alliances are forged in blood.

If you crave stories featuring powerful alpha heroes, complex world-building, and a heavy dose of spice, this series is your next obsession. It is a gripping blend of mythology and dark fantasy that proves some monsters are worth the risk. Prepare to be consumed by a tale where love is the ultimate weapon.

Ok I see what you’re doing to us Ms Meg. Book 1 I was “uh ok, cute romantacy the some extra spice”. Book 2, the plot line thickens. But book 3 now in it! All the spice, all the secrets getting exposed and the pop culture references for days! I love all the references! All the highlighted lines and bookmarks. Totally worth the read. Now onto book 4! )

Soooo Gooood!

The Mate Games: Death series has gotten better with each book, and I can’t wait to see how it all ends in the next one! This one had so many good moments, I can’t possibly list them all without pretty much quoting the whole book. Of course, the cameos from the War and Pestilence characters were great! And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention our favorite doggie companion; he really does steal the show. Don’t even get me started on the audiobook. Another phenomenal performance by this entire...

Absolutely addictive

I am absolutely addicted to these stories. Each one just drags you in, and you just can't stop reading or listening to it. The full cast of characters for the audiobooks will definitely spoil you. The storyline gives you more information about what is going on.....I will leave it at that, because I don't want to give away anything. You need to have your own dang, really moment yourself. Each of the guys are just so yummy. And Dahlia? I so want to be her....I love her. I mean she eats her mashed...

Still good, but need the plot to move

March 29, 2024

Still love this world but where is the plot? I feel like this series isn't nearly as good as the two previous ones. I still love the banter between everyone and her conversations with her BFF are still hilarious. But the plot is stalling and moving at a snail's pace. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. ) One person found this helpful
