A Purpose That Restores Us (The Magi Accounts #3) - Michele Notaro


The Magi Accounts returns with Alpha lion shifter Cosmo and his powerful mage mate Madeo in A Purpose That Restores Us. Relationships are key to this book, where the Ono-Nai pride and family are growing and all the characters are deepening their emotional connections, not just Cosmo and Madeo. Beautifully written action, suspense, and affectionate scenes from Michele Notaro makes this a must read series.

From the blurb:

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 read the series in order because it has an ongoing storyline, but there is NO cliffhanger.

SNik's Review:

Third in series (The Magi Accounts), must be read in order. Paranormal/urban fantasy with dystopian elements. Hurt/comfort. Found family. Established couple. Mostly Madeo single POV (Cosmo POV for a few chapters). 

Another fantastic entry into this series, Cosmo the kind, strong Alpha shifter and the powerful, feisty mage Madeo are a devoted tender couple that genuinely bring all the emotion to their relationship.

Trying to settle into the schedule of caring for their expanding family, the Ono-Nai pride continues their job of fighting monster taragorians while trying to hunt down the evil blood witches of the Red Cloth. 

Every time I visit this universe Notaro tears my heart out with the loving family dynamic that is filled with positive supportive interactions, lots of honest communication, and deep emotional ties. 

There is tons of action, slight hints of a more hopeful future, and of course all the romance between Cosmo and Madeo. 

The emotional vulnerability of the characters in this story is heartbreaking, and the possibility of losing any of the found family is a constant fear for the main characters and the reader. Notaro writes with passion and intensity throughout, and this series has caused me huge amounts of anxiety with every page I read hoping for Cosmo and Madeo to overcome all obstacles, to get their HEA, to have a better world to live in with the people that they love. 

Highly recommend this series.
