Secondhand Spirits: A Witchcraft Mystery
Love the vintage- not the ghosts
Lily Ivory feels that she can finally fit in somewhere and conceal her "witchiness" in San Francisco. It's there that she opens her vintage clothing shop, outfitting customers both spiritually and stylistically.
Just when things seem normal, a client is murdered and children start disappearing from the Bay Area. Lily has a good idea that some bad phantoms are behind it. Can she keep her identity secret, or will her witchy ways be forced out of the closet as she attempts to stop the phantom?

While this story is clearly recognizable as "urban fantasy" (my favorite genre at the moment), I appreciated that the story was clearly distinguishable from the many others I've read by having unique characters and a "slant" on witchcraft and magic that I hadn't yet come across. I particularly enjoyed the characterization of Lily's "familiar," and now I want one for myself!
I was recommended this book series by a lovely French woman I had happened to meet at a bookshop. Obviously that reason alone made me purchase the series (11 books)!
I’ve just finished Secondhand Spirits and I have mixed emotions. Some really good writing in parts and some meh writing in others. I’m giving it four stars because I finally got hooked around the 10th or so chapter (less than halfway). At that point I was on the edge of my seat, in a cozy mystery way, until the end!
Overall, cute story with some really fun twists and turns!
