K.J. Charles' The Magpie Lord
I’d been meaning to read more by Charles, and this seemed like a good place to start—a historical mystery with magic and (gay) romance is very much up my alley. The plot barely matters—a man, who’s been in China for twenty years, returns home after the deaths of his father and brother leave him an earl. But someone is trying to kill him . . . with magic! Enter a magical practitioner, a scrappy dude with cool powers and a grudge. Sparks fly, magic happens, murder attempts happen,etc. It's a lot of fluffy fun, and I’ll be reading more bc it looks like the magical guy's best friend is a Jewish lady and I need magical Jewish ladies in my life. A-.
