About this listen
As if crushin’ on a shifter wasn’t bad enough, I had to go and date one. A mage and a shifter walk into a bar. No, that’s the whole joke.
Magi and shifters don’t mix, and yet I find myself in a relationship with Cosmo, a lion shifter. And on top of that, Cosmo, and all his pride members, consider my brothers and I a part of their pride. Three magi in a shifter pride. Who would’ve ever thought?
Navigating our connection while trying to figure out what’s going on in the world isn’t easy. Trusting that Cosmo means forever when he says it? Even harder. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned since meeting the Ono-Nais, it’s that taking a risk with my heart will be worth it to be a part of their lives.
The Shackles That Hold Us is a 113K novel and the second audiobook 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 read 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?

When the light-magic users known as Casters took everything from me, I vowed to make them pay. Little did I know the perfect opportunity would show up in the form of a sweet Caster the moment I took his arrow to the heart…literally. Bastian knows that I’m made of dark magic, the very thing he’s been taught to destroy. But instead of turning away from me, he takes a chance on me, leading me behind the walls of the group out to kill me.

It’s really hard to pretend like life is normal when you’re staring a monster in the eyes, though he’s both tempting and irritating in his human form. I put my days as a hunter behind me, unable to cope with the death and pain anymore, to become an upstanding citizen and for what? To assist Lake, a man who claims he’s not a monster but keeps talking about me like I’m edible and–even worse–wants to woo me?

A psychic without an anchor. A student in trouble. A shooter on the loose.I’m Jonathan Bane, a licensed psychic who consults for the police. I routinely help the police put the bad guys away and, for that reason, the criminal world doesn’t like me much. People like to take a swing at me, or go stabbity, or try for a gun. It makes for interesting times. My psychic ability prevents me from handling anything electronic—and I do mean ANYTHING, I fry it in seconds—so calling for help isn’t always a possibility.

Kade has seven days left to live...unless I do something about it. I am one of the best assassins around, after all. But...I’m not sure I exactly care what happens to Kade. He’s rude, only cares about himself and his casino, and did I mention he doesn’t know a single thing about video games? Okay, okay. Maybe that’s not enough of a reason to watch him dash headlong into danger while I kick back and enjoy the show.

Getting into the vampire-only detective unit was the easy part. What’s going to be more difficult is dealing with my new partner - an ancient vampire who keeps threatening to eat me. The unit has never had a human in it. Marcus - or, as I like to call him: Fangy McFangface - would really prefer to keep it that way. He’s grumpy, short-tempered, and broody, but I have a way with words, and I know he’s starting to like me, even if he swears he’s not.

Unfortunately, not all people from magical bloodlines have powers, and at 22, I’m several years past the age they usually appear. So I’ve resigned myself to a boring, magic-less life. Then something strange happens. I get stuck in the middle of a bar fight, and instead of just punching the guy back, I blow a hole in the wall. So...I guess I do have powers. But they’re unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. This shit is definitely not normal. And it seems the magical authorities agree. I can go to school, learn to control my magic. Or they’ll take it away. Permanently.

Maddie Thompson’s life just fell down a rabbit hole. Finding out she's a dragon shifter was one thing - she never quite fit into the human world, and this new reality feels...strangely right. However, discovering the next step is to choose a mate, and if she chooses wrong, she'll die, is the other side of crazy - especially when she already left a piece of her heart with someone who didn't want it.

Cat shifter Bree Dwyer doesn't fear much. Ironically, what she fears most is the person who was put on the Earth just for her.

Bree's intent on moving forward with her life and building a future with someone else. Sadly, the male she wants most is one she can never have - a hot-as-sin wolverine shifter who happens to be her boss...and the cousin of her predestined mate.

CJ Storm gives another excellent performance
This is not a standalone. The Shackles That Holds Us picks up about a month after the events of A Kiss to Revive Me book 1.5. Cosmo and Mads are growing closer and closer and watching Mads continue to lower his guard is great. Cosmo has the patience of a saint and it was great to have a dual POV book. Especially at the difficult times. This book has a lot of light moments between our MCs but there is also a LOT of heavy. The story, while moving along nicely, is dark and there are several potentially triggering issues so be forewarned. We learn more about witch magic and we see more of the underground movement. This book (and the entire series) is incredible. I’m all in my feels but hard to say without giving away spoilers. As always with this series, please be mindful of the triggers. CJ Storm is able to deliver the action, the comedy and the steamy moments equally well. I have been very impressed with his performance throughout this series. I reviewed a complimentary copy of this audiobook.

I absolutely love this series. So when it came out on Audio i had to jump on it. The story is fascinating and so engaging. You feel yourself being pulled into the story. The narrator did a good job with the story. I had some trouble with the voice for Cos it just sounded off and weird to me. Otherwise he did a great job with the story.

This series is emotional and action packed
I love this series and if you haven't started it, you're really missing out. This does need to be listened to in order but Mads, Cos, Jude, and the others are amazing characters. Mads and Jude have an awfully rough time of it being mages but I love how resilient they are. Cos and the other shifters are just beautiful people who create a safe space and accept them into their family. The story is incredibly well done and the world building is one of the best I've ever come across. These characters are going to stay with me long after I'm finished!
CJ Storm really hits his stride with this one. I felt he did a decent job in the first but his narration seems pretty on point here. He does a great job with character voices in my opinion and they definitely grew on me. I kind of liked how Logan sounds similar to Mads considering how Mads and Jude adopted him as their younger brother.

This series is entertaining, Michele Notaro does a great job with world building and making the audience feel all the emotions. Madeo and Cosmo in this installment continue to be cute together.

Loving this series
This was so good. It is not a stand-a-lone. Also, be warned, there is on page torture. Poor Mads & Jude are taken back to the compound and Anderson has a week to punish (insert torture here) them. It's horrible and I can't wait for Anderson to die a bloody death. So, we have Cos & Mads are slowly working on their relationship and Mads starting to believe that Cos really wants him. He is so scared that if something happens to their relationship, Cos will throw them all away. Cos also has been asking him to move in & he doesn't want to because again if they break up then they would be without a home. We find out what the witches are up to & they are just batshit crazy. It's heartbreaking the lengths they will go to, to get power. I can't wait for more.

I love this series but I had to break out the tissues for this one. There are so many heartbreaking events and revelations in this one. It's still worth reading and I can't wait to get to the next stories. Now add in the great narration in the audiobook by C. J. Storm and this is even better.
I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

Love this series!
The Shackles That Hold Us is Book 2 in The Magi Accounts series and needs to be enjoyed in order as it's an ongoing storyline. This is an intense heart wrenching urban fantasy story with some sweet found family moments with the Ono-Nai pride. This book could be triggering for some. I just have to say I'm glad Cosmo did what he did. Jude and Madeo didn't deserve any of that. I love the connection Jude and Madeo have and the connection that's growing between Madeo and Cos. I love how the pack work hard and play hard together. They care for each other and take care of their own, whatever is needed. I look forward to see where the story with go. I'm really enjoying this series and recommend it.
Narrator CJ Storm does an amazing job in bringing these wonderful characters to life. He is a joy to listen to and continues to be a favorite.

Intense and emotional
I love this series so much! So happy to get back to these characters and this world. Though there are so many emotions and some seriously gut wrenching moments that made me want to scream or cry. These characters get out through the wringer and I know they will have more to deal with. But I love the found family and the mates. I want so much more of these characters and their stories. I want to hug some and punch others. I couldn’t get enough of this and was so sad each time I had to hit pause. I looked forward to when I got to get back to the story and could see what would happen next. I can’t wait to see these relationships depend even more. And the narrator makes this story even better. This is a must listen to series though get ready for some tears and intense moments.

Prick hole and an unfettered southern accent
First things first- I LOVE this series. It’s an intricately woven, beautifully crafted world. But:
1) nobody says prickhole. NOBODY. So why do you make everyone say it? It’s there’s generational cursing, it should be something unfamiliar, so we know they’re cursing, but not overusing some weird insult we all, as a people, don’t use, like “frank trodders” or “God’s bloomin onion”. Neither of which are you allowed to use. Those are mine. lol
2) I enjoy a good ol’ southern accent every once in a while- I’m from Georgia, so I’m surrounded by them. But it’s not what you want in an audio novel listened to millions, especially ESL, if they can understand that “mahls” means “miles”, etc. I love his voice and intonation, but he’s too green for this. Especially since he can’t let his accent take a backseat. I spent two years convincing my vocal coach I didn’t need him, bc I could speak in American standard, and that his efforts were better used on that jersey girl who couldn’t say “you’re welcome” without telegraphing where she’s from.
Long story short— great novel, and great “aspiring” narrator.
