I'm LOVING these two! *by U***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2020* I'm worried. I'm actually WORRIED. I finished this AMAZING book and I'm now realizing it means I only have ONE novel left of Stephen and Lucien. I'm NOT ready to say goodbye! I loved everything about this book. As in the previous one the pace is excellent, left me at the edge of my seat wanting to know what's going on, but I was also hooked to the romance part as both men struggle with their emotions towards one another and how they can make it work with the amount of complications around them.Stephen Day is busy, but more than busy it's obvious he is reluctant to make a habit of his affair with Lucien Vaudrey (our Lord Crane). It can't last, not with the difference in lifestyle and rank and especially not when Lucien gets bored or annoyed with living in London and returns to his home in China. Lucien actually doesn't know WHAT he wants to do. He has enough dealings at the moment but what upsets him the most if how illusive Stephen is. He wants him in his bed, he wants to wake up with Stephen in his arms. But as Merrick his manservant puts it - he gives Stephen exactly the things he DOESN'T want.To make things even more difficult Lucien is being blackmailed by the same guy who brought Stephen into his life and he isn't the only one he is blackmailing.. This isn't China.. If it was, he would have gotten him killed and got on with it.. Now he needs to find a way to make this problem disappear because it makes Stephen even more reluctant to have ANYTHING to do with him. Especially since the other Justiciars are starting to suspect Stephen new found powers (one he gets from his connection to Lucien and the Magpie Lord).But who have time to consider relationships when people are murdered by giant rats?! Stephen comes for Lucien's help as a translator, trying to speak with Chinese shamans. But once Lucien realizes the issue he remembers a tale he heard about giant rats and from there on they start tackling the mystery together with the other Justiciars. They are suspicious of him at first but our Lord Crane has his own charm.All the little stories and tales in this one gets mixed up together and through it all they get even closer than before. Lucien can't bare it anymore. He needs to make Stephen realize he is here for him for the long run if only Stephen accepts and stays.There is much more I could say about this one. It was HILARIOUS, it was also action packed, it was sweet and romantic and totally raw at others. I truly couldn't have asked for more. It was simply an AWESOME novel and I can't wait to start the next one even though I'm sad to start saying my goodbye.Can't recommend this book and series enough. A MUST READ!A Case of Spirits: Like in the previous novel, this is also a sort of bonus little story of our two MCs. I think it was originally published on it's own but as it seems it's added on the very end on the current edition. It's actually a bit more than just a scene between them, it's a mystery in which Merrick's life and health is on the line and so you can imagine how Lucien would be taking it. But with Stephen by his side as well as his magic wielding friends things get resolved quick enough. It was a nice little story, really enjoyed it even though it was fairly short. Any added time with these two is a blessing.More @ Ultra Meital Reviews. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another strong book from KJ Charles *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2019* Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS.Rating: 9/10PROS:- This installment does a good job of showing how strongly Crane feels for Stephen, especially at the beginning when Stephen is inexplicably absent from the story. I particularly appreciated this because I remember (vaguely) feeling that the relationship was a bit lopsided in Stephen’s direction in the first book.- The plot is just as intriguing as the previous one. It manages to build upon the story and character development from the first Magpies volume without seeming like a rehash of the same material.- I love Crane’s relationship with his manservant Merrick. They’re completely unfiltered and unrestrained with each other. I especially like that Merrick is able to be so brutally honest with Crane. And there’s a fun short story at the end of the book (the last 17 percent of the electronic version) that develops Crane’s friendship with Merrick even more.CONS:- This is one of those stories told in third-person limited POV which is perfectly well written but which, nevertheless, I can’t help wishing showed some scenes from the other main character’s perspective.- Charles is one of the better authors in this genre, so I expect her writing to be perfectly clean for some reason (probably unfairly). But this story has a fair number of punctuation errors in it, particularly comma errors.Overall comments: I liked the first volume of this series, but it’s been years since I read it—long enough that I remembered only the vaguest of details. I think reading the first one would enhance your enjoyment of this one, but it’s clearly not *that* necessary, because it was almost like I hadn’t read Volume 1 before I launched into this one, and I still enjoyed this installment very much. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Case of Possession *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2019* A Case of Possession is the second book in KJ Charles’ A Charm of Magpies series of Victorian-era m/m paranormal romance novels. Charles has become one of my favorite authors, and I’m pretty sure I started this book almost immediately after reading the first book in the series.The story picks up almost immediately after the events of The Magpie Lord. Having dealt with the threat on Crane’s life, Stephen and Crane return to London. But, as they say, there is no rest for the wicked. Stephen returns to work as a magical police officer, and Crane…. Crane drifts around a little aimlessly. He’s still not happy with the title he’s inherited, and he wants nothing more than to return to China. But now there’s Stephen to consider.There isn’t much time for consideration because someone is unleashing a plague of rats upon innocent people. Any city is full of rats, but it’s clear that these are no ordinary rats; they’re being controlled by someone seeking vengeance- but clues are scarce, and once again, Stephen and Crane find themselves facing an unknown threat.A Case of Possession takes the dynamic established in the first book and expands that knowledge. But what will the reluctant lord and magical officer do with their newfound relationship when taken out of their vacuum and placed in stiflingly proper London?I would recommend A Case of Possession. Readers need to start with The Magpie Lord so that they can fully appreciate the story arc. There’s a nice balance of sorting out the relationship and dealing with the rat mystery. Overall, the tone of the book is fairly light, and the banter is top-notch. Crane’s valet/henchman Merrick steals every scene he appears in, and I would absolutely read a spinoff featuring just Merrick. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/104606259-a-case-of-possession-a-charm-of-magpies-book-2](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/104606259-a-case-of-possession-a-charm-of-magpies-book-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
