Book 34, 2014
Jun. 4th, 2014 08:10 pmI finished reading A Cast-Off Coven by Juliet Blackwell last night. It's the second book in her "Witchcraft Mysteries", featuring protagonist Lily Ivory.
Lily is quickly making a home for herself in San Francisco. Her vintage clothing shop is doing well, and she's making friends and dancing around her attraction to Max Carmichael. When Lily's assistant asks her to check out some mysterious noises at the School of Fine Arts in exchange for some vintage clothing discovered there, Lily jumps at the chance. What she assumes is a simple haunting, however, turns out to be much more.
Lily must use her powers as a witch, as well as getting help from other witches in the city, in order to solve a murder and bind a demon.
The story was fast-paced and interesting, and I enjoyed the introduction of some new characters, as well as the blossoming romance between Lily and Max.
Four stars:
★★★★
