Review

One of the things I enjoy about series like this is they push me out of my usual box. Kitsune you say? First I’ve heard of it, but now I have a foxy kink.

I loved the ‘trying to not like him, but fate has other ideas’ vibes. Rivery is wary of Akira, the intriguing man who largely keeps to himself. River’s life is also in upheaval having finally been united with his brother, learning of the paranormal, and trying to decide the direction of his life.

Akira is also trying to figure out what’s next in life. Having fled his home from people after him for his fur. Leaving behind his best friend.

These two have the perfect connection - one kitsune, one human obsessed with kitsune lore and is the basis for their being able to build trust, friendship, and ultimately love.

They have some fantastic chemistry, full of exploration. But also plenty of sweetness and lovely support for one another's futures.

Synopsis

Akira is a rare Kitsune Fae who is being hunted for his fur. When he takes refuge at the Black Cat Circus, the last thing he expects to find is a tempting human who makes him feel alive.

Akira has always planned on returning to Faerie, but how can he when there is a magical pull telling him that this is his home? For the first time, Akira is experiencing what it feels like to have a family, feel safe, and fall in love.

For almost a decade, River has been searching for the fae who took his brother. But now that he knows the truth behind Indy’s disappearance, River is at a loss for what to do next.

Eager for a fresh start, River joins the magical circus, despite his skeptical feelings about paranormal creatures. When he helps the charming Kitsune find his place in the circus, River discovers there’s more to Akira than his flirtatious smiles. There’s intense power and passion that River can’t help but be drawn to.

Can love be enough to keep two lost souls together, or will each of their pasts pull them apart?

Akira is a grumpy/sunshine, fated mates, paranormal MM romance. The Black Cat Circus: Pearl of Fate is a multi-author series and season two of the Black Cat Circus World that features found family and a magical cast of characters. Each book can be read as a standalone but is better enjoyed as a series.
