Book Review: Secondhand Spirits


Book: Secondhand Spirits (A Witchcraft Mystery book #1) by Juliet Blackwell

Description:

Lily Ivory is not your average witch. Her spell-casting powers tend to draw mischievous spirits while keeping normal humans at a distance. But now her vintage clothing store could give her a chance to make friends in San Francisco....

Lily hopes for a normal life when she opens Aunt Cora's Closet. With her magical knack for vintage fashion -she can sense vibrations of the past from clothing and jewelry—her store becomes a big hit.

But when a client is murdered and children start disappearing from the Bay Area, Lily may be the only one who can unravel the crime. She tries to keep her identity a secret while investigating, but it's not easy—especially under the spells of sexy "mythbuster" Max Carmichael and powerful witch Aidan Rhodes. Will Lily's witchy ways be forced out of the closet?

Rating: 5 stars

My Rating:

I really liked this book a lot because it had me guessing tell the very end. Which is what a good mystery book should do, right? It was well written and fun to read. I liked that this was a supernatural mystery but it also quite funny. I love that it wasn't a romance filled book where the main character is more wrapped up in her love life than trying to solve the mystery. Of course there were some love interest but they were not the focus of the story.

I thought Lily was an amazing and likeable character and I also found her little familiar the gargoyle - who transforms himself into a pig when normal humans are around - to be really funny.

I will be reading more from this series, the first book was great.
