About this listen

Jinta

Nothing’s easy when you’re fated to a yakuza boss.

I’m possessed by an ancient, powerful kitsune hellbent on chaos and destruction. Until we can find a way to lift the curse, I’m a threat to everyone I hold dear. Tensions within the Namikawa-kai, hunters lurking in the shadows, and vengeful ex-boyfriends want to thwart us at every step.

All I want is to be with Raiden, my mate, the man I love. If we stand together, we can get through it all. But when I see a new, ugly side to Raiden, I can’t help but question if we really want the same things.

When the time comes to run, will Raiden leave it all behind for me?

Raiden

I’ll destroy anyone who hurts my mate—but I’m the one hurting him the most.

I’m the boss now. This is my pack. Tokyo is my city. No one will ever control me again. As I fall deeper into my new responsibilities, Jinta and I grow more estranged.

When betrayal strikes from within my own pack, Jinta is the one who pays the price. Jinta has no place in my world. He’s a pure ray of sunshine in the darkness of my life, and I can’t be the reason he gets hurt. I don’t deserve him. Never have.

I’ve got to let him go. Before the shadows of my world consume the only person I’ve ever loved.

Curses & Kitsune is the final book in A Paranormal Yakuza Duet and concludes with a hard-won Happily-Ever-After.

very good

Very enjoyable that the same narrator acted both books, and did it really well.
Story - 3 stars. The action and paranormal plot lines within a great Japanese setting were excellent. My biggest frustration was the complete lack of self-esteem and self-worth in both characters. While this was completely understandable in both their cases, it just felt a little tedious at times when their only attempt at a solution was physical intimacy and burying everything else. This just happened too often for my liking. Where I would skim over these points when it's too much in an ebook, that isn't an easy option in audio. Together, the two books do make an excellent duology.

High-angst second instalment of paranormal duet

Book 2 in this duet that's overflowing with possessive mates, werewolves, gangs, an abundance of hurt/comfort, and more feral, frantic bedroom scenes than you can shake a stick at. Book 1 ended on a HFN, but with human reporter Jinta newly possessed with a powerful kitsune. It's a high angst read, with both Jinta and Raiden (pronounced 'rye-dun', I learnt) beset with a lifetime of insecurities and emotional baggage (not to mention a hefty martyr complex), and although I loved Raiden from book 1, by halfway through this I did get frustrated with him. It's a continuous push pull of will-he-wont-he as their relationship struggles to survive the combined dangers of the Yakuza, hunters, rival werewolf clans, family drama and, oh yes - a bloodthirsty kitsune curse. The audiobook is superbly performed, with all the characters brought vividly to life by one narrator.

A thrilling sequel of supernatural intrigue

This second instalment is an exciting sequel to Secrets & Sake that continues the thrilling adventures of Akira, the Yakuza enforcer with a supernatural gift. The audiobook, once again narrated by Nick Cracknell, delivers a gripping listening experience.

As Akira delves deeper into the paranormal world, he encounters a dangerous kitsune, a shapeshifting fox spirit with a dark agenda. The stakes are higher than ever as Akira must protect his loved ones and unravel the secrets of the supernatural realm.

If you liked Secrets & Sake, you'll love Curses & Kitsune. It's a thrilling and suspenseful ride that will keep you hooked until the very end.
