If this is the writer's debut I am very impressed. Polished, seamless and engaging writing. It is so easy to love the two MCs. Crane, the rich but no pampared lord and such a hunk with the badboy hardened image and I can so visualize his perfect sexy body tattooed with magpies, lol. Stephen, sweetly endearing even if he is such a powerful magician, seemingly vulnerable but with such steely courage and determination in his calling as jury/judge/executor. These two are just the perfect couple, more so in the Victorian era where their love is forbidden. I love their chemistry and thought this is a perfect 1st book in their developing relationship. As for the plot it is just fascinating and gripping with some really spooky, magical and original scenes. The throat attack scene especially gives me the creeps! The sex scenes are just right and that last sex scene is really something!. I also have to mention Merrick, Crane's fiercely loyal and protective right hand man, who is the perfect secondary character. Very impatiently waiting for the 2nd book,A Case of Possession (A Charm of Magpies)in this series which I hope has many more books to come.
