About this listen
The last thing half-fae, half-demon Ringmaster Seven needs is to hold someone captive in his bedroom, no matter how attractive he finds the young man. It’s been ten years since Seven fled the fae courts and found sanctuary in the human realm. He will do anything to protect his circus and found family. So, when Seven wakes up to find a beautiful yet feral creature straddling him and reeking of faerie magic, his only option is to bind the little minx and deal with him later.
Time is running out for Indy. It’s been almost ten years since Indy was cursed. His only hope of breaking the magic is to find his fated mate or lose his human form forever. Seeing no other choice, Indy travels with a magical circus of paranormal creatures. Only, when Indy momentarily gets his human form back, he’s more concerned about getting revenge on the Ringmaster rather than finding love.
Can Sev help Indy break this curse before it’s too late, or will he die trying?
The Ringmaster is an enemies-to-lovers, fated mates, paranormal MM romance. It is part of the Black Cat Circus multi-author series that features found family and a magical cast of characters. Each book can be listened to as a standalone but is better enjoyed as a series.

As a teen, Drake ran away and found the Black Cat Circus, he thought it was his ticket out of town. Instead, he found a family and discovered a magical world he never knew existed. Becoming the Daredevil was a perfect fit for him and the adrenaline-loving beast within. Now, ten years later, he’s returning to the town he left as a kid and it’s stirring up a lot of emotions. A shy but sweet man with a camera captures his attention completely. Even Drake’s dragon craves him.

Story
There’s no way in Helgar's Nebula I’m marrying the candidate my parents have chosen for me. I don’t want to be the house-husband of some stoic warrior who only cares about training all day. Boring! Thankfully, I’ve learned a thing or two from all those rom-com human movies I’ve illegally downloaded off the intergalactic web. No one will see it coming when I pull a runaway groom maneuver on them!

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
Adam is not having a good day. First, he finds out his very long-time boyfriend has been having an affair. Then, his dramatic exit becomes a little too dramatic when he ends up dead. To top it off, he finds out that the afterlife isn't at all what he expected (he has no desire to learn to play the harp, thank you very much). Fortunately for him, some afterlife bureaucratic screw-up ends him up with the most smoking-hot demon he's ever seen, and he decides he's keeping him. Maybe the afterlife won't be so bad after all.

With no one to answer to, lots of cash, and access to The Anonymous–an exclusive club for the elite–Dev is loving life. Until Remy Corbin gets into his car. Remy is just a regular guy working a regular bartending job. At least, that’s what he thought before walking in on his boss taking someone out. Witnessing the assassination paints a target on Remy’s back, and when the bullets fly, he jumps into a stranger’s car.

I'm your typical small-town loser stuck in a dead-end job. Single, because dating is for well-adjusted human beings, not traumatized gay boys with trust issues. All I want is to leave my past behind and finally start living. My wish comes true in the most bizarre way imaginable. One evening, a beautiful man with pointy ears and flowing dark locks appears out of nowhere. He proclaims I am to be his 'Dark Companion' based on some stupid deal I made in a dream. Oh, and apparently he's an elven prince, the Lord of Shadows, Protector of the Nightmare Realm, and Knight of Grief Ocean.

The Ringmaster and his Little Not-Human
1st person, past tense, dual POV
Indy (32), cursed human / (Peanut the cat in the BCC)
Seven, half-fae, half-demon Ringmaster of the BCC
Audio, narrated by Zachary Zaba - 4.5 Stars
After listening to [book:The Aerialist|123010675] I just had to roll right into Peanut's story and Whispersynced the audiobook right away.
Usually I'm not the biggest fan of a single narrator (or the same narrators) doing an entire series and then listening to them back-to-back as I have a difficult time getting into the new characters and not hearing them as the MCs of the previous book. I did not have that issue here at all. Once I hit play on <i>The Ringmaster</i> Indy and Sev came to life and I never even caught echoes of Bri and/or Zander (unless they were talking). The narrator absolutely imbued each character with their own distinct voice, making it extremely easy to get sucked into the story and keep track of events and POVs. As I've said before, it usually takes me a chapter to get into this narrator's style, but once I'm there I enjoy the narration immensely.
Story - 3.5 stars
While the books in this series CAN be read as standalones, they do feature a core group of characters that appear in each others stories and Peanut (Indy) and Bri's stories are intertwined more closely than the rest of the series so I would recommend reading them together at the very least if you aren't going to read the rest of the series. For my part I listened to [book:The Daredevil|123005039] a few months ago, ARC read all of season 2, skipped <i>The Firedancer</i> (for the moment), and just listened to <i>The Aerialist</i> and <i>The Ringmaster</i> back-to-back so I've done some bouncing around and had fun doing so, I'm usually more methodical with my reading.
While I did enjoy this story a great deal, it felt like the author got distracted with irrelevant worldbuilding and side characters then rushed the actual story and relationship building, which ruined my enjoyment. As if setting up more of the BCC for future romance wasn't enough, the whole war in Faerie and the Goblin Market and their respective cast of characters got page time that would, in my opinion, have been better served by further exploring Indy and Sev's connection, and figuring out how to fully lift Indy's curse and reunite him with the brother he hasn't seen in the past decade. By the time these areas are brought into focus, their resolutions felt a little slap dash and suffered from a whole lot of telling rather than showing with a lot of missing context that would have made for a richer story.
Still, I enjoyed the story, I loved the continued relationship between Bri and Peanut, seeing glimpses of the previous couples, seeing Indy and Sev dance around each other a bit trying to decide whether to trust one another as their hearts and minds warred with one another. The hints of shibari, praise kink, etc were fun and it would have been fun to have seen it be more developed. Sev's charater arc in coming to terms with his demon side was particularly well done and I adored Indy's role in that.
No regrets in buying and listening to it.
