This book is part of the Magpie Lord universe. It is the least connected of the series and really could be read on its own. It features two fun cameos and the justiciary including Stephen Day, but sadly no Lord Crane. Crispin is a warlock by accident, having been trained in blood magic by a man that wanted to wear his skin. He is struggling with using magic in the approved ways and feels like a failure. The only joy in his life comes from […]
Sometimes you just need a little lightness
Thanks goes out to the CBR romance crew for introducing me to this sweet book. Orleanas introduced it, and it kept getting good reviews, so I had to try it too. What can I say? I’m easily persuadable. It’s a very light, contemporary M/M story. So light that I have very little to say about it, but I’ll give it a try since this is a pleasant story and I’m happy to recommend it. Henry Beckett is 35 and recently dumped by his long-term […]
“If you stop running, you fall.”
So again this is from the publisher that went under so if you want to buy this book on Amazon hurry there are only a few left (she may independent publish these once she has the rights back from the publisher). I loved this book so much. It is a Magpie Lord linked story but it is pretty standalone (you will enjoy the cameos and understand the story a bit more if you have read the Magpie trilogy ((which is excellent so you should do […]
Rodents of Unusual Size
This is the second book in the Charm of Magpies series and a tiny bit of a let down. The plot is just as tightly wound and well paced. The characters are still funny and sexy. I think my discontent comes from the lack of POV switch, we do not get anything from Stephen Day’s point of view. I am not sure why the author made that choice because it is actually Stephen that has the most at stake in this one and I would […]
“Neither Skewton nor the Thwaites offer the charm of your company, and I’m saying that to a man who spent the night disembowelling cats
First a quick housekeeping note, the publisher of this book went under and the author is working on getting the rights back so she can republish them. Amazon has a few copies left though. I took the gamble of buying the series because I was afraid they would run out and I am glad I did because the first book was fantastic! I read a review for this book here, so thank you cannonball community for another great recommendation. This is a m/m romance and […]
This book was SO MUCH FUN. I want to read it again.
I started this book at lunch yesterday, got sixty pages in, and then read the rest of it in a frenzy as soon as I got home from work. I even forgot to eat dinner. Guys, I NEVER forget to eat dinner. I’m thinking about what I’m going to eat for dinner immediately after lunch is over. Sometimes lunch the day before. I mean, I did eventually remember to eat, but only after I finished the book around 8:30. Only the really good books make […]
