Synopsis

Lily would like nothing better than to relax, enjoy her friends, and take care of business at her store, which is booming thanks to San Francisco's upcoming Summer of Love Festival. But as the unofficial witchy consultant to the SFPD, she is pulled into yet another case.

A woman has jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge, and her apparent suicide may be connected to a suspicious botanica in the Mission District. When the police investigate the shop, they ask Lily to look into its mysterious owner, whose granddaughter also appears to be missing. As Lily searches for the truth, she finds herself confronted with a confounding mystery and some very powerful magic.

Goodreads review by Kellene

Since I am not one to restate the summary of books in reviews, the process becomes harder as I go further into a series, especially one that I enjoy as much as this one. Many times by the 7th book, things are starting to get maybe a little stale, but not with Lily and company. Blackwell keeps allowi......more

I’ve mentioned before that stories with witches aren’t really my reading preference. I’m read this book at the request of the publisher in exchange for an honest review. And I have to say. I honestly enjoyed it! Author Juliet Blackwell is a must buy author for many readers I know. I can see why. She......more

This is a good book in a mystery series I am enjoying. Lily is a hereditary witch, meaning that she has inherited witchy powers; she is not, however, thoroughly trained in their use.

Goodreads review by Jeanne

I really like Lily. I remember feeling and thinking like her, of course not like a witch, but in general. I love the fact that when I started this story (and actually all the books in this series) I could just read--there where no feelings of dis-belief or "come on, that is ridiculous" even though I......more
