Book Review: Secondhand Spirits by Juliet Blackwell

I'm a big fan of cozy mysteries and for a long time I was interested on the Witchcraft Mystery series by Juliet Blackwell. Let's see: it's a cozy mystery about witches, so what's not to love about it? So, after seeing that the kindle edition of the first book was on sale, I decided it'll be finally time to give it a try. And I don't regret it one bit.

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?

Started reading: Caught Dead Handed (A Witch City Mystery #1), by Carol J. Perry

Yesterday I started reading Caught Dead Handed (A Witch City Mystery #1), by Carol J. Perry. It takes place in Salem, and for what I read until now (10% of the book), sounds very interesting and promising. The main character is nice, and the setting is intriguing and got me hooked. The second book in the series, Tails, You Lose, will be released TOMORROW!

Most folks associate the city of Salem, Massachusetts, with witches but Lee Barrett calls it home. This October she's returned to her hometown - where her beloved Aunt Ibby still lives - to interview for a job as a reporter at WICH-TV. But the only opening is for a call-in psychic to host the late-night horror movies. It seems the previous host, Ariel Constellation, never saw her own murder coming. Lee reluctantly takes the job, but when she starts seeing real events in the obsidian ball she's using as a prop, she wonders if she might really have psychic abilities.
