Review: Obsession

 


Title: Obsession

Series: The Mate Games

Authors: K. Loraine & Meg Anne

Release Date: May 2022



I rejected my fated mate and didn’t regret it for a second. Until now.

Shipped off to Ravenscroft University, a graduate school for the supernatural elite, I have a lot to live up to. As the heir to America’s most powerful pack, my life up to now has been spent in a gilded cage. But not for the reason you might think.

I was locked away, not to be protected, but because I was born broken. A disappointment to them all. A wolf who couldn’t shift.

This is supposed to be my fresh start, but my past won’t leave me alone. Not when he’s here. The arrogant wolf shifter who ruined my life after I turned him down seven years ago. Now, I’m a pariah, followed by the rumors my rejected mate has spread, hated by my classmates, isolated again.

From everyone but them.
A vampire prince.
A forbidden priest.
A powerful demigod.
A bully wolf.

I’m playing a dangerous game, and the rules say I can’t be with them. Then again, rules are made to be broken.

And when every moment spent with them brings me closer to finding my wolf, how can I stay away?

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.

Sunday is sent to Ravenscroft University a graduate school for the supernatural elite. Being from one of the most powerful packs in America, she has a secret- she can't shift. But what she hopes would be a fresh start away from her family, turns out to be a mistake when none other than Kingston is also there- her mate whom she rejected and now he hates her. Also a Priest who is set on keeping her on her knees for hours trying to clear her mind. The vampire prince who is good at ghosting Sunday, and a Norse demigod who is set on training Sunday. But at least her witchy roommate Moira is proving to be a friend. And every moment spend with each of the guys, seems to be helping her find her wolf, and her strength, she can't help but feel a connection to each of them. 

So, I decided to pick up this books, in hopes of pulling me out of a reading slump. I don't know if I'm just distracted because I'm in the midst of planning my daughters birthday or what- but unfortunately I didn't love this book as much as I had hoped. 

I loved the idea of the book- I love RH/why choose, love the paranormal. But it was a bit confusing (again, could have been me)- and I felt like I was missing important information I should have known. For me, the story didn't flow that well and kinda jumped around a bit. And I just didn't feel much of a connection to any of the characters. I read all of book 1 in this series & honestly could hardly tell you anything about any of the characters. 

Overall, it was an ok read. Sunday- while unable to find her wolf wasn't just some weakling or damsel in distress. She was still strong, and able to hold her own- not just with the guys but with some of the threats sent her way as well. 

And I just would have liked to have seen more from the characters. As of right now, I don't feel that invested in them unfortunately (again, that could be a me problem). 

3.5 ⭐ out of 5 ⭐. 

3🌶️ out of 5🌶️. Multiple detailed scenes throughout.

USA Today & International bestselling paranormal and fantasy romance author Meg Anne has always had stories running on a loop in her head. They started off as daydreams about how the evil queen (aka Mom) had her slaving away doing chores, and more recently shifted into creating backgrounds about the people stuck beside her during rush hour. The stories have always been there; they were just waiting for her to tell them.

Like any true SoCal native, Meg enjoys staying inside curled up with a good book and her cat, Henry...or maybe that's just her... You can convince her to buy just about anything if it's covered in glitter or rhinestones, or make her laugh by sharing your favorite bad joke. She also accepts bribes in the form of baked goods and Mexican food.

Meg is best known for her leading men #MenByMeg, her inevitable cliffhangers, and making her readers laugh out loud, which all started with the bestselling Chosen series.

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties.
