A Case of Possession – KJ Charles

Whyborne & Griffin fans, did you  know I’m not the only writer of gay paranormal Victorian investigators? KJ Charles exploded on the scene last year with The Magpie Lord, the first in her Charm of Magpie series. If you haven’t read it yet, I encourage you to do so! And if you have, be advised the wait is over, and book 2 A Case of Possession is now out.

With all eyes watching him, the threat of exposure grows. Stephen could lose his friends, his job and his liberty over his relationship with Crane. He’s not sure if he can take that risk much longer. And Crane isn’t sure if he can ask him to.

The rats are closing in, and something has to give…
