Robin Blythe really doesn’t need more complications in his life, so learning magic exists and getting cursed in the same day as well as starting his new job isn’t exactly fantastic.  Especially since someone thinks he know something about what may have gotten his predecessor killed.  Robin can’t help but be a little enchanted by his prickly magical counterpart, Edwin Courcey, though or magic itself.  As the two of them delve into removing the curse on Robin, it quickly becomes clear things are far more […]
