I made a promise to the enemy… and I intended to keep it.

Thank the goddess I have my pride and my wonderful, amazing mate—whose patience matches no other—because the world is in chaos, and Cosmo is my rock, my safe place inside the storm. If only I could find the time between witches, work, politics, and family to prove it to him.

The Shifter and Magi Equality Act is in full effect, supposedly making us equals, but the people themselves—the humans—are still treating us as lesser. Every time I turn around, we’re running into trouble between humans and non-humans.

To make matters worse, witches are everywhere in Fairview City, and the Red Cloth is encouraging humans to join their forces and challenge the equality my people have fought so hard to get.

And now, Anderson is back. Back and gunning for me.

But he doesn’t realize I’m gunning for him, too.

Only Unity Will Spare Us is the fifth and FINAL book in the MM urban fantasy series, The Magi Accounts. It’s recommended to listen to the series in order because the romance and plot progress throughout the series.

Only Unity Will Spare Us is the fifth and final book in the Magi Accounts series. You should listen to this series and the Magi Accounts Companion Stories in order.

I am not okay. At one point in this book, my heart was breaking and I was sobbing. Actually, I was an emotional mess this entire book. It was one of the most heartbreaking, moving and powerful stories I’ve read. This story legit tore EVERY SINGLE EMOTION straight from my soul and threw them onto the floor, leaving me awash in a pile of conflicting feelings. Going to blow your mind and wreck your world - I am beyond impressed with Michele Notaro. This is one of those books you will FEEL.

Madeo, Cosmo and the rest of the pride continue their fight for equality and peace. Cos has been my favourite character since the first book and remains my favourite. He’s truly amazing - a good leader, kind, caring, supportive, strong, protective … I could go on.
I loved seeing Madeo grow throughout this series, seeing him comfortable with affection made me smile as I know what a huge milestone it was for him. I honestly adore the characters in this book and we see plenty of Jude, River, Kulani, Charlie, Ash, Logan, Haiden etc.

The chemistry, the bond, the sweetness between Cosmo and Madeo, to me, is the heart of this series. When I look back to the first book I am amazed and feel nostalgic about how far these characters have come, how far this series has and how much I’ve grown to love them. The many romantic moments between Cosmo and Madeo made me melt, it was beautiful to read and felt authentic.

The witches were seriously evil and I despised them. The final battle was heart stopping, devastating, and honestly terrifying. All the other battles leading up to that moment was written so well, I could vividly picture them in my mind.

Zachary Zaba absolutely brought it with this performance; he was perfectly cast to bring these characters and story to life...
Zaba performs Notaro’s clever banter, heartfelt emotion, and all the sizzling passion, perfectly! Hearing this emotional, powerful and romantic story being brought to life, made it that much more vivid. Although, I do wish I heard a bit more emotion at that heartbreaking moment.

I’m very sad to say goodbye to these characters. The epilogue was sweet and a lovely way to close the chapter on this action-packed journey.

Mads and Cosmo are one of my favorite couples – probably because of their ability to grow their found family by leaps and bounds every time I hear from them. I missed the last book, so a couple of the names and backstories of characters were unfamiliar to me. No worries, I got caught up quickly and was propelled into their battle between good and evil. Mads the magi and Cosmo the shifter make a formidable team. Together battling the terragorians who come through the veil tears from another place. They’ve got everything together.

Until Mads’ nemesis comes calling. This time, it’s going to take all of Mads’ strength – relying on his dyad Jude and his mate Cosmo to fight off Anderson and the Red Cloth witches.

This is again a violent book and I worried all my favorite characters would survive. There’s also a flashback scene from Mads’ time in the academy and that was pretty brutal to listen to. Overall, though, this was a great listen and a great story.

I’ll be sad to see everyone move on with their lives. The epilogue was super awesome and I smiled I way through it. Who knew how my favorite couple would settle into domesticity so easily?

Zachary Zaba is one of my favorite narrators and he did a great job on this audio. The narrator changed midway through the series, but I didn’t miss a beat. Both were talented and competent and I was happy to see Zachary end out the series. I do plan to go back and snag the audio I missed, but even if you haven’t been around for every one, you’ll be fine enjoying this one. Definitely one not to miss.

I can't believe it's finally time to say goodbye to the Ono-Nai pride. These people have grown so much from when I first met them, experienced some of life's worst and best moments together, and built a tight-knit family who are all committed to fighting for good. This last chapter of their journey put me through the emotional wringer, but what a captivating, heart-pounding, and satisfying conclusion it was. While the last book was all about the shifters and magi gaining equality with humans, this story was about finishing the battle against the Red Cloth once and for all. I knew their fight wasn't going to be easy, but the stakes felt so high and only grew impossibly higher with every reveal of just how vile the Red Cloth witches were. Some of the things the Ono-Nai's witnessed in this book were truly horrific, gore and death on a level that's stomach turning just to think about. I was glued to my seat, unable to tear myself away without knowing how things would end up, hoping against hope that Madeo, Jude, and Cosmo would figure out a miracle to turn the tide in their favor. I'm so impressed by the way Michele Notaro crafted this final journey into an epic battle with twists and turns and pacing that felt urgent but not rushed as the characters tried to get one step ahead of their enemies.

I was already 1000% invested in seeing the Ono-Nai's protect the world from the threat of the Red Cloth, but then they made things personal in a terrifying final showdown that left the Ono-Nai's fighting for their lives in their own backyard. The climax of that battle took my breath away, and I swear I've never yelled at an author more than I did for those heart-stopping pages, but Michele Notaro's characters are fighters and they didn't let me down or leave things unfinished. And it wasn't all tense, suspenseful plotting or fights. I also got to watch Cosmo and Mads take the next step forward in their relationship. I watched Logan use his brilliant brain to find a new way to combat the taragorians that flipped the TRD's old practices on their heads. I basked in sweet weekends spent with family, hot cocoa movie nights, silly hide and seek games and enough love to fill a mansion. It was those treasured moments that I clung to when the odds seemed stacked against them, and I know it was that love that gave these people the conviction to push themselves to the absolute limits to protect each other. I'm still reeling from the ending to the Ono-Nai's story, but for as traumatizing and scary as the buildup was, the relief of knowing the fight was over was immense. My heart has never felt fuller than it did as I was reading the epilogue and seeing how relaxed and happy everyone was. If there's ever a group who deserved to ride off into the sunset together, it's the Ono-Nais, and what a sweet sendoff it was. Major kudos to Michele Notaro for closing out another incredible series with characters who are going to stick in my mind for a long time.

A stunning finale

I absolutely love this fascinating world Michele Notaro created for her amazing “Magi Accounts” series, an urban fantasy with incredible world building, character growth and development, magical storylines that includes equally fascinating characters, including shifters, witches, mage, and other paranormal beings and monsters. And what makes this series so amazing are the characters, characters I adored, Cosmo, a lion shifter and Madeo “Mads” a Magi and his sidekick and connected dyad, Jude, as well as various other secondary/support characters and members of the Ono-Nai pride, a found family of shifters and magi. This is the last book of the series and is an action-packed story with ups-and-downs, and thrilling and suspenseful moments that take you to the edge of your seat. An ending that is worthy of these amazing characters and one that will stay with me for a very long time. It was not always easy for them, but I loved how far they have come, in society and amongst the pride. There is never a dull moment in this cleverly plotted story, and it has plenty of drama, angst, heartfelt emotions, and a wonderful romance. Michele Notaro, thank you for this amazing story and wild ride. 
🎧📚🎧 Zachary Zaba did a fantastic job voicing the characters, bringing them to life and humanizing them. His portrayal of the character was spot on and I loved how he took each role and made it his own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. He set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. Zaba is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thanks for another fabulous listen.

A Purrfect Ending to an Amazing Series! Excellent Story & Narration🎧
