Lily Ivory is a witch who runs a vintage clothing boutique
in San Francisco. Part of Lily's magic allows her to pick
up on vibrations from people and clothing. It's why she
loves working with vintage clothing -- she can pick up a
piece of clothing and get vibrations from the previous
owner, pick up on happy memories of the dress. Lily's
familiar is Oscar -- a potbellied pig. In his natural form,
Oscar is a mix of a goblin and gargoyle.
Aidan Rhodes is a fellow witch in San Francisco. He and
Lily work together occasionally and Aidan has been working
with Lily on her magic. Sailor is an intense, darkly-
brooding psychic that Lily works with to try to delve into
some history while she is researching part of the case. He
is unexpected and quite charming once she lets her guard
down.
Lily has been asked to assist in investigating a string of
poisonings in the San Francisco area witchcraft community.
Through her charity work with her vintage clothing shop, she
has gained the trust of the local covens, so she is able to
question witches in different covens. The case is further
complicated by a hate group that is operating in the area
and attacking business that even hint at a connection to
witchcraft. Lily soon suspects that a new acquaintance may
not be as well-intentioned as she seems and might be
dabbling in black-magic and deadly botany.
IN A WITCH'S WARDROBE is a fun, paranormal mystery with just
a little bit of romance thrown in. Ms. Blackwell has
created a wonderful cast of characters. I laughed out loud
at some of the interactions between Lily and her familiar
Oscar -- he is impertinent and hilarious. And Lily is so
torn between Aidan and Sailor, until she finally kisses
Sailor and realizes that they really might have something
between them. I look forward to reading the next book in
the series.
Lily Ivory is living her dream of owning a vintage clothing
store—and practicing magic on the side. But when she
encounters a sinister sleeping spell, Lily comes
face-to-face with a nightmarish evil…
Taking a night off from running her successful San Francisco
clothing store, Lily attends a local art deco ball where
vintage fashions steal the show. But when a young woman at
the event falls under a mysterious sleeping sickness, Lily
senses that a curse was placed on the woman’s corsage.
Before Lily can solve the woman’s magical ailment, she’s
asked to assist in investigating a string of poisonings in
the Bay Area witchcraft community. She’s gained the trust of
the local covens by supporting women’s charities through her
clothing store. But soon, Lily suspects that one of her new
acquaintances might not be so well intentioned and could be
dabbling in dark magic and deadly botany…
