Lily Ivory, vintage clothing store owner and witch, is busy
planning her wedding to her beau, Sailor.
Lily’s grandmother and many of her coven, in addition to her mother,
boarded a bus two weeks ago and are taking the scenic route to San Francisco to
see Lily and Sailor marry. Yet Lily has
another pressing date and event to handle – a mother-daughter brunch to benefit
the women’s shelter with the ladies to arrive in matching outfits from the
1950s.
planning her wedding to her beau, Sailor.
Lily’s grandmother and many of her coven, in addition to her mother,
boarded a bus two weeks ago and are taking the scenic route to San Francisco to
see Lily and Sailor marry. Yet Lily has
another pressing date and event to handle – a mother-daughter brunch to benefit
the women’s shelter with the ladies to arrive in matching outfits from the
1950s.
Suddenly a man named Tristan Dupree shows up at the shop and
abruptly states that Lily has stolen something from him and that she has 48 hours
to give it back. Sailor overhears him
and threatens him if he bothers Lily again.
Lily has no idea what Tristan is asking about or much recollection of
their meeting. Lily visits the head of
the witch community in San Francisco named Aidan and learns that the item is
probably a piece of jewelry or a ring.
Lily knows that she must recover the repressed memories of meeting
Tristan which occurred when she confronted her father 15 years ago. She knows that Aidan can help her. Many hours pass as they work, but they only touch
the surface of her memories.

As Lily heads home, she learns that Sailor is in jail for
murdering Tristan Dupree! The evidence
is overwhelming with several witness statements and surveillance tapes showing
Sailor leaving Tristan’s hotel covered in blood. Yet when Sailor is apprehended, his clothing
is not bloody nor is he bruised from their fight. The next day Lily sees Sailor in the
neighborhood yet she knows he’s in jail.
Could there be a doppelganger who murdered Tristan rather than Sailor
himself?

tracking her grandmother’s bus, Lily must find time to help Sailor form a
defense. She enlists the aid of several
friends with special talents to try and determine what happened and whodunit.

I always enjoy a new witchy book from Juliet Blackwell, and
this ninth entry in the series is no exception.
San Francisco is a favorite city of mine as well as Lily Ivory. I enjoy the sidekick role that Lily’s
familiar Oscar, the gobgoyle, plays. I’m
rooting for her romance with Sailor.
Lily hears the words from her mother that she needed to hear so many
years ago. And finally, Lily begins to
truly believe in herself and her powers.

Hoping to get to it this weekend, Sandie.
