A Cast-Off Coven by Juliet Blackwell

A Cast-Off Coven by Juliet Blackwell - 323 pages
A Witchcraft Mystery #2

Lily's been asked by her assistant Maya to check out the sounds of a haunting at her art school.  When she goes to investigate, she discovers the body of a murdered man.  While most everyone at the school assumes the ghost killed him, Lily knows that it was a man.  But it turns out that man might have been possessed by a demon that was bound into a hidden closet in the school.  Now Lily has to find out who the demon is and get rid of him before more people get hurt.

I enjoyed this book as much as the first one in the series.  It was a light, fun mystery to read.  It was also a quick read.  The only thing that bothered me was the main love interest that seems to waffle way too much between believing and not believing in the supernatural.

Secondhand Spirits by Juliet Blackwell

Secondhand Spirits by Juliet Blackwell - 325 pages
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.
