Royal Beasts by K.C. Cross
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
When a two-thousand-year-old curse is the only thing keeping you safe, you should probably just leave it alone.
Pie and Pell have finally figured out what the heck is going on with Saint Mark’s Sanctuary. Not only that, they each have a whole bunch of brand-new powers.
But all those answers and all that power came with a whole bunch of brand-new problems too.
The prisoners.
Tomas and his… woman. (No one is really sure who or what she is.)
Of course, there are the new satyrs.
Not to mention the new wood nymphs.
Plus, Tarq has a crown (and the ego to go with it.)
And let’s not forget the Granite Springs assassin team is now out to kill them.
Still, they are in love and they have each other. So they are one-hundred percent sure they’ve got this.
Until a thunder of dragons flies out of the dungeon and makes it all worse.Royal Beasts
Whimsical, magical and suspenseful!

The heroine: Pie – she has recently figured out that she is a Royal Beast. At first, she thought she was human, and could remember nothing but her short human life, then later after arriving at the Sanctuary of Saint Mark’s, she discovered that she was really a nymph chimera and remembered times when she was a girl, running through the forest with her friend Pell, a satyr chimera. Though in the last book she discovered she was royalty in an alternate world and was able to overthrow the evil queen and imprison her as a human in a tomb at an alternate version of Saint Marks. She doesn’t know if the queen will ever escape, but knows it is a fitting punishment for what the queen has done to her.
The Hero: Pell – he has always been just a satyr chimera; he is cursed to live at the Sanctuary of St. Marks. Though he has recently discovered that he, too is a royal beast and is really more of a Warden at St. Mark’s. He has his own magic and has a magic ring, so he is able to travel through portals to other worlds and also travel as a man to the local town of Granite Springs. Though he also recently found out that the town is just as much a part of St. Mark’s and the curse as everything within the sanctuary.
The Story: Like the previous two books, this one isn’t just about Pell and Pie. The last book gave us more insight into the other characters. Tomas now has his girlfriend Madeline, and they are both dragons. Tarq (the minotaur chimera), has a woman of his own, a purebred nymph. Though Tarq had to become King when Pie disappeared with the Queen so now, he is ruling that world while his girl is in another world, but safe at Sanctuary. Though Pell knows that as good as things are right now, they won’t stay that way. Something is coming. The Savage Saints are still plotting behind closed doors, and nobody knows what is really going on in the dungeon at St. Marks.
This book was a continuation of the first two books in the series, both of which I thoroughly enjoyed. This was such a different and original paranormal story. I loved the satyr’s, the wood nymphs, the dragons, the Eros family (cupids), and more. The story was whimsical, magical and suspenseful. The romance between the two main characters was sweet and steamy. I hope the author does more in this genre, I just love her work.
This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Jason Clarke and Hathaway Lee. Both of these are terrific narrators and both of them are great at using different voices and accents for different characters, especially Jason Clarke, who does a whole cast of male characters in this one.
