Dragons were never meant to be simple circus attractions.

The Dragon Shifter among the men of the Chinese Zodiac had disappeared without a trace, up until a meddling Rooster Shifter dug up his whereabouts. And Jun Shen, the snake shifter, enforcer of magical tenants, and Advanced Math professor within Graves Academy is obligated to look into the matter. When he meets a man more broken than even the Rabbit Shifter who he... still hasn't entirely gotten over, he finds himself conflicted on where he stands in this realm of fated mates and damaged men.

With a limiter collar suppressing his power, Jarek Milan is a prisoner of Avro's dark and magical circus. Through countless escape attempts, the light at the end of the tunnel only seems to grow more distant. But when the circus pitches its tent at Graves Academy, he may finally have the help he needs, in so very many ways.

Set in the same Universe as The Zodiac Werewolf, this is the second book in the Shifters of the Chinese Zodiac MM+ Paranormal Romance Series. Listeners who love dark carnivals, healing through k!nk, dominant and sinister men who have a soft spot for their mates, and the occasional magical cupcake will love the twisted tale of the Zodiac Shifters of Graves Academy.

While there are many moments of fun and spice, this is still a DARK work of fiction. Please check the authors website for CWs

I was so intrigued by this book.
It's dark, twisted, filled with evil magical intent, and lots of fast paced action and danger.

Audiobook - excellent narration.
Story - an intense second book, mostly featuring the captivity and struggles of Jarek Milan, the missing dragon shifter. Jun and Levi do their best to rescue and help him. This is very dark with a lot of violence. The plot works well, and Levi appears to be even more special than they previously thought. I'm very curious about what will happen next.

TW: Threatened and actual sexual non-com/rape, physical and sexual abuse. abduction, imprisonment

I enjoyed this second book in the Shifters of the Chinese Zodiac series, but it definitely has some darker themes, including forced sexual contact, sexual and non-sexual abuse, kidnaping, and imprisonment. The book focuses on the Dragon shifter of the Chinese Zodiac who has been missing in the current generation, because he was tricked and forced into servitude in Avro's magical circus. However, when the circus comes to Graves Academy, the chance for freedom arrives. Although the dragon shifter (Jarek Milan), what I liked most about the book was learning more about Jun Shen, the powerful and seemingly psychotic snake shifter of the zodiac. While he freely admits to enjoying killing people, he has soft spots in his heart, too, and he has been hurt by the fated mate process and by love. This is a story full of pain, emotion, suspense, despair, and hope. I was on the edge of my chair wondering what would happen next and if Avro could be beaten. It was a very satisfying tale overall, though there were definitely some scenes that made me want to look away. There are definitely some hot, sexy times, too, and the ending between Avro and Jarek was highly satisfying. One final thought I have is that someone needs to reign Gavin in. I understand he may be hurt, jealous, and angry, but he needs to be stopped.

The narration was excellent, and really captured all the emotion and suspense of the story.

I received a free cop[y via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.
