Lily Ivory is not your average witch. Her spell-casting powers tend to draw mischievous spirits while keeping normal humans at a distance. But now her vintage store could give her a chance to make friends in San Francisco.
Lily hopes for a normal life when she opens Aunt Cora's Closet. With her magical knack for vintage fashion—she can sense vibrations of the past from clothing to jewelry—her store becomes a big hit.
But when a client is murdered and children start disappearing from the Bay Area. Lily may be the only one who can unravel the crime. She tries to keep her identity a secret while investigating, but it's not that easy—especially under the spells of sexy "myth buster" Max Carmichael and powerful witch Aidan Rhodes. Will Lily's witchy ways be forced out of the closet?

First things first, I love the
cover of this novel. Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t pay much attention
to the cover of a book when deciding whether to read it and that was the case
when I decided on Secondhand Spirits.
However, it would be wrong of me not to point out that the cover has glitter. Raised,
sparkly mist surrounds the woman in pink to imply an overflowing amount of
magic within her. But now that I’m looking at it again, I could see how someone
might confuse the wispy smoke with a bad odor or extremely nasty gas.
Still. Glitter.
