About this listen
Dark witches here, bloody witches there, evil witches everywhere.
At home, my life is amazing, thanks to my boyfriend, Cosmo Ono-Nai, and his wonderful family that I’ve become a part of. I’m happier than I’ve ever been in my life.
But work is a different story.
All anyone’s talking about is the Red Cloth this, the Red Cloth that. I can’t escape them, and all I really want is to find someplace the witches can’t reach, take my family—my pride—there, and hide them away from the world.
But I can’t. I’ll do everything in my power to protect them, and everyone else, from the building threat. There’s this dread building in my chest about what’s to come, and I have a feeling the Red Cloth is planning something big. I only wish I knew what so I could keep Cos, Jude, and the rest of our family safe.
A Purpose That Restores Us is a 119K novel and the third book in the MM urban fantasy series, The Magi Accounts. It’s recommended to listen to the series in order because it has an ongoing storyline, but there is NO cliffhanger.
*Intended for adults only. Please listen to the trigger warnings at the beginning of this novel.

Story
World War III broke out 130 years ago when humans found out that magi and shifters were real. Humans have been imprisoning and enslaving the two species since. But now humans need their help protecting the world from the strange monsters they let cross the veil between realms. All three species have been at odds for more than a century, but can Madeo—a mage—and Cosmo—a lion shifter—put aside their differences to work together, and maybe even find comfort in each other’s arms?

Our world is slowly healing after surviving a horrific war. The magical and nonmagical creatures of Brinnswick have pulled together to mend the world, but the man I think - really, I know - is my viramore, my soulmate, has somehow been left behind. I felt drawn to him as soon as I met him, and I wanted to explore what we were to each other, but I never got the chance.

Story
Though I was born with the ability to see the dead, I struggled with it until my brother was killed and his ghost was left behind. Now, I’m determined to figure out who is responsible for his death…the problem is that Detective Maddox Booker, the one working the case, is a grumpy and stubborn man who wants nothing to do with me and definitely doesn’t believe in ghosts. It doesn’t help that I keep finding myself looking ridiculous in front of the detective, thanks to interfering ghosts who enjoy laughing at my expense.

Story
Smart men never dabble with demons. I never claimed to be smart, but at least, I’m powerful enough to control them. When I bound Havoc to me nearly 300 years ago, I never realized how difficult he’d make my life, although “accidentally” lighting him on fire every now and then does bring a smile to my face. Havoc is handsome, mysterious, and somehow, my closest companion, even if we don’t always get along.

Despite his doubts about himself, he's the only chance the two pre-teens have to escape their hellish life. When Sir Hugh Quartermain contracts him to deal with the mysterious circumstances surrounding his home on the Isle of Man, Adrien finds the more time they spend together, the more his walls come down around the beguiling engineer—an unusual occurrence and a terrifying prospect.

This week hasn’t gone the best for me unless you count Casimir, the sexy ancient vampire, bringing me back from the brink of death (and tying my fate to his in the process). Not that it matters if the werewolves and vampires don’t stop their ridiculous feud, because someone is targeting them and widening the divide between our communities with each body they leave in their wake. But as the alpha’s son, I have a plan to fix everything. I’m going to convince Casimir to fake date me to show the others that we can work together. I mean… what could go wrong?

Being a hit man has its perks, but I never thought getting an accidental mooning by an attractive PI while he’s caught on a fence would be one of them. While it’s not exactly love at first sight, he’s captured my interest and won’t let go. Suddenly, I find myself caught in a game of cat and mouse, determined to attract the attention of Jackson, the PI who should be my enemy. He pretends like he’s not flattered by my flowers and the mentions of my totally-not-fictitious blow-up doll, Randy (or was it Dandy?), but I know better.

The streets have been my home for as long as I can remember. To get by, I use my magic tricks, bringing smiles to the faces of adults and children alike. As a warlock, my powers are limited. Nothing like a witch's magical skills. Basically, I'm a glorified magician as well as a second-class citizen. Fine. It doesn't get me down. I have my cat Fizz and Kylie Minogue's music to keep me going as I dream big. I know there's a better life out there for me.

World War III broke out 130 years ago when humans found out that magi and shifters were real. Humans have been imprisoning and enslaving the two species since. But now humans need their help protecting the world from the strange monsters they let cross the veil between realms. All three species have been at odds for more than a century, but can Madeo—a mage—and Cosmo—a lion shifter—put aside their differences to work together, and maybe even find comfort in each other’s arms?

So good!
This series is one that I started on a whim and has quickly become one of my favorite PNR series I've ever read! The world building in this series continues to be amazing with just the right mix of fantasy, dystopian madness, and everyday ordinary. Cos and Mads face some of their biggest hurdles thus far in this book and I loved seeing how much the pride has grown since book one. The Red Cloth continues to be a source of chaos and destruction and we get just a little bit closer to understanding exactly what is happening with them and all the witch attacks. The epilogue was a huge surprise for me but I love how much it moved the overall story forward! I can't wait for the next book! WIth a new narrator for this book, it took me a little bit to get used to the new sound of each character but by the middle of the story, I was just as engrossed in the story as I was while listening to books one and two! Great narration!

Exciting addition to the series
I really enjoyed seeing more growth in the pride with mads and cosmo especially but really everyone doing their best to take care of and help heal Hayden El and Teo (sorry if I spelled their names wrong audiobook problems lol) and getting to know them better their were a couple of scary moments in this book for the characters and I enjoyed watching them navigate everything thrown at them together and I’m interested to see where this story will go next I’m eager to read the next

Rollercoaster Ride!
"A Purpose That Restores Us" by Michele Notaro is a rollercoaster ride of action and emotion. There is so much action and so many nerve-wracking events that it can feel a bit overwhelming, but those parts are tempered by the times the pride is together and living their lives outside of their jobs. They bring new people into their fold as well as gain new allies and discover more villains. Mads and Cos are still growing together. Mads is still discovering how to be ok with being loved and accepted and Cos is still not pushing and letting Mads move at his own pace. It's quite lovely. The very end though? That is everything.
This audiobook has a new narrator, and it took a bit to be comfortable with the change. But, Zachary Zaba did a good job. He is easy to listen to and brings the world and characters to life.
I received a free copy of the audiobook and this is my honest opinion.

Great Addition
This one was the most brutal one in the entire series so far. The team is put in so much danger that there were times that I didn't know if any of them were going to make it. This cannot be read as a standalone. I never thought there were so many witches, and they just don't care who they kill. There is a mole, and we find out who that is in this book. I knew in my soul that this person was a part of the bad guys. We don't who is at the head of Red Cloth yet. I loved watching the pride expanding, even Harriett joining the family. I normally do not like a switch in narrators half way through a series as you get use to a certain way that they voice the characters, but Mr. Zaba did a really good job & I enjoyed it. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Angsty rollercoaster ride
I LOVE this series, but boy was this book hard on my heart. You keep thinking. 'No, she wouldn't do that!' but you can never feel quite sure...and she does come close. Along with the drama and fear, there is plenty of love and connection, and the banter and snark we know from prior books. The author puts the guys through he**, and it will leave you breathless and on the edge of your seat. Then, on top of all the external enemies -taragorians and witches - there is a mole in the NHSO. (You probably won't be surprised when you find out who it is.) I love this group of guys, watching Madeo open up and get closer with Cosmo, and seeing Jude and Cosmo negotiate the love they both have for Mads (although of a very different sort for each).
I loved the book when I read the eBook, but listening to Zachary Zaba's narration added a whole new layer of emotional impact. He did a fantastic job!

Exciting! - by Shana W
This story is the continuation of a really exciting series with an excellent plot and amazing characters. The book is well written with great world building, and the characters are well developed. It is easy to fall in love with the characters, to cheer them on, and to feel their pain when things go badly. Michele Notaro's writing allows this, because it is so detailed. In fact, the reader can easily picture the action scenes for the same reason.
The narrator, Zachary Zaba, reads with excellent pacing and expression. He really brings the story and the characters to life. I really loved this book and could not stop listening, sometimes with my heart in my mouth when the scenes were very suspenseful.

Family forever
The witches' danger grows and there's plenty of tension and excitement in this one, but what's really keeping me hooked is the wonderful warmth, love and sense of family in the pride with Cosmo, Mads and all the rest. They may be going through nightmarish times but they are together forever. Zachary Zaba did a wonderful job with all the characters here and balancing the tense moments with the comfort of the family ones.

Good listen, awesome read 4 1/2 Stars
The new narrator takes some getting used too. The different voices are awesome, with more of a distinct voice between the different characters, much better than the last narrator tbh. The lower score for performance is because of the whiney voice used between character voices. We open in a fight scene, and the narrative voice is very off-putting. The voice used seems almost humorous or belittling the action at times, very much at odds with the life-or-death fight scene the words convey.
With all that being said, I hope Zachary adjusts his narrative voice to one more fitting the action in future books. There is a question like lilt to each sentence that I hope he can tune out. The character voices are awesome, so hopefully Zachary can adjust the narrative voice to something slightly different than Mads speaking voice. Most of the book is thru his eyes, so I would assume our thoughts are close to our speaking voice.
Be aware of trigger warnings.

And it continues
This book is worth all the stars you can give. There is not a slow moment in this book; there is just so much. Cos and Mads continue on their journey - both personally and professionally. There is a bit of angst and build up in the story and I would note for some there may be triggers. But I have loved this series so hard, and I can't wait for it to continue - both with the side characters and Cos and Mads. There's more for them to do and accomplish but this story was just so good.
Audio:
It took a hot minute to get used to Zachary Zaba's narration but after a short while I was sucked in. I know authors can't always keep the same narrators throughout series, but I thought Michele Notaro did a good job with her new pick!

Amazing & Intense
This series has been great so far and this story makes it even better. There is a lot to take in from this one and it gets extremely intense but it is so good. I can't wait to get to the next books to further the series. I enjoyed this story even more when I listened to the audiobook. Zachary Zaba's great narration really helped to bring the story to life.
I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion
