A Vintage Magic Mystery #2

Maddie is running out of time before her shop's grand opening.  Unfortunately, things just keep getting in the way of her preparations.  There's a fire at the business across the street.  Her aunt convinces her to host a Halloween part in the upstairs room of the shop.  And there is another murder to be solved.

This is the second book in Annette Blair's Vintage Magic mystery series.  I really enjoyed the first book.  I thought the second book was a little more rushed in its story.  Still, it was an enjoyable a read and I look forward to reading more of the series.

A Witchcraft Mystery #1

Lily has only been in San Francisco for a short while.  Her vintage clothing shop Aunt Cora's Closet is just starting to take off when a client dies of apparent supernatural means.  Lily is determined to figure out what happened and to rescue a missing girl as she feels responsible since she had laid a spell of protection upon the woman.

I am glad I picked up this book.  I almost didn't.  It was a quick, fun mystery with a little romance thrown in.  I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the books in the series.
