This book was from the February pick it for me in the MM group. Thanks CJ for choosing a unique out of my norm book.

I'm not normally a Historical Paranormal type reader, but found this to be an easy relaxing, even funny at times read. This is my first time reading this author. This book is very well written, with a original storyline. I loved the ending. It was a truly magical story.

A very slow start, picked up the pace at the end. Gave it an extra star for originality, but I wanted more romance less paranormal stuff. Yeah, can't believe I'm saying that either. ...more

Ahh, The Magpie Lord. My second MM romance and my introduction to the inimitable KJ Charles.

The Magpie Lord contains pulp fiction, steampunk, and romance elements, all of which combine into an incredibly fun and fast-paced read.

Well-written magic system/world bui

I read this all night and could only remember bits and pieces. I loved it. Stephen and Crane coming together was explosive with flying birds. The mystery and how the evil warlocks were destroyed was epic!!!
