Pure innocent idiots and mature world weary jerks: a hit or miss combo.
Otona-chan: With a bit of attempted sekuhara from angelic sensei, idiot realizes his feelings for his friend. Meh on this
Dreamy Love: Book designer was saddled with a useless assistant who gets under his skin. Said assistant also succeeded on worming his way into his heart despite book designerโs valiant efforts to keep his walls up. The struggle was fun to watch. Definitely the better story.

A Charm of Magpies: Rag and Bone – K.J. Charles
Itโs amazing what people throw awayโฆ
Crispin Tredarloe never meant to become a warlock. Freed from his treacherous master, heโs learning how to use his magical powers the right way. But itโs brutally hard work. Not everyone believes heโs a reformed character, and the strain is putting unbearable pressure on his secret relationship with waste-man Ned Hall.
Nedโs sick of magic. Sick of the trouble it brings, sick of its dangerous grip on Crispin and the miserable look it puts in his eyes, and sick of being afraid that a gentleman magician wonโt want a street paper-seller foreverโor even for much longer.
But something is stirring among Londonโs forgotten discards. An ancient evil is waking up and seeking its freedom. And when wild magic hits the rag-and-bottle shop where Ned lives, a panicking Crispin falls back onto bad habits. The embattled lovers must find a way to work togetherโor London could go up in flames.
Fluffiest KJC book so far!
Awesome magic system based on frequencies and resonance.

ย Appearances by Stephen Day (please donโt leave the Justiciary, please), Mrs. Gold, Janossi, and Ben Spencer.
Jonah Pastern pops out of nowhere:
Ned looked round, startled. He hadnโt noticed anyone joining him, but there
he was, a young chap with a jagged streak of white running through his black
hair, like a lightning strike. He was good-looking, blue-eyed, smartly dressed
with a flash blue waistcoat, and if ever Ned had seen untrustworthy, it was
sitting on the bench next to him.ยOh Jonah!ย
(๏ผโธแ)ย
The villain was kind of obvious but it didnโt detract from the enjoyment of the story.
Cornell Collinsโ voice for the ghost thing is creeeepy. Do not listen to it in the dark at 3 a.m.
Fighting resurrected witches with music hall sensations is a thing now?
Magic police are cool!
P.S.
I recommend reading the fantasticย A Charm of Magpies series before reading Rag and Bone.

A fine glass vase goes from treasure to trash, the moment it is broken. Fortunately, something else happens to you and me. Pick up your pieces. Then, help me gather mine.
