    Really good first in the series!
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2023*

I've read a all these books long ago! I had forgotten how good they are. This book introduces all the players and gives you an idea of who they are. Now, on to the next!

    An overall fun, well written story, but a bit too much “not like other girls”
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2020*

I like the concept of this series in general, the plot of this particular book, and the writing style. I generally like the main character and all the side characters, but our main character, Lily, seems to suffer a bit from the “not like other girls” trope, or in her case “not like other witches.”Lily manages to be both self-doubting and self-aggrandizing at the same time, constantly remarking on how powerful she is and how real her magick and abilities and experiences are compared to others, while at the same time needing to be reassured that she’s powerful/special enough to complete the task at hand. She constantly thinks her love interest is on the verge of breaking up with her and she doesn’t trust other people to like her for herself, constantly worrying that people will think she’s a “freak” even though everyone immediately seems to like and accept her, even admiring her witchy abilities when they’re revealed, and the love interest remains crazy about her. There was this big buildup about what would happen if people found out about “who she really was,” and then nothing came of that, everyone was just like “hey, that’s super cool!” with a couple of characters being like “huh, it’s fine, I guess.”She has a lot of “not like other girls” quirks like she doesn’t like to use the internet, she has an email account because she has to but she doesn’t check it ever, she doesn’t like to talk on the phone, she doesn’t have a cell phone. She’s an amazing cook/gardener/seamstress/domestic goddess in general and is extremely well travelled and financially successful for a 31 year old who just moved to the expensive city of San Francisco  during the Great Recession and yet can afford to own her own business and apartment. She doesn’t appear to actually struggle with/be bad at anything, and seems to be a bit haughty when she compares herself to others, especially to “kids these days,” despite her being only 31 herself.  I kept getting the distinct impression that the book was written by an older middle aged author forcing their views into the 31 year old protagonist.But these are minor quibbles, overall, and while they did take me out of the story a few times and cause me to roll my eyes, I was never tempted to not come back to the book. I didn’t solve the mystery before the character did, and the solution made logical sense to me while still being interesting. I really like the side characters in this series. I love that our heroine has female friends that she doesn’t compete with or mistrust just because they’re women. The love interest threw up a few red flags for me with the typical macho/possessive behavior we see too often from the male love interest in most books with a romantic subplot, but he’s not irredeemably abusive or creepy. I enjoyed that the book was peopled by a diverse cast of characters and no one seemed to be overly tokenized or stereotyped. I also got the sense that the author either really knows San Francisco very well, or else is very good at constructing a believable setting.

    Very Good Series Debut
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2009*

Secondhand Spirits is a well plotted and well written mystery that held my attention from cover to cover. The first in a planned series, Secondhand Spirits is the story of Lily Ivory, a powerful witch who has spent much of her life both hiding from and running from what she is. At age 31, she decides it's time to settle down and she chooses to do so in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco where she opens a vintage clothing store. As the story progresses, we learn that Lily is more than just a powerful witch; she is also a strong, admirable and very likable woman.Nor was Lily the only character I liked. In fact, while the plot of Secondhand Spirits was fresh and absorbing, what really stood out for me were the well-drawn, fully-dimensional characters. Blackwell has created a book that's just chock full of darned interesting people. I enjoyed meeting them, but more than that, I was (and am) intrigued by them. They have hinted-at-histories that promise to be woven into future entries in the series and I look forward to seeing what Blackwell has in store for each of them.Comments:* I found Secondhand Spirits to be somewhat darker than the cover seemed to suggest. (For me, this was not a drawback.) While there are moments of humor - many of them involving Lily's newly acquired familiar, Oscar - the story has a rather more serious overall tone and themes that I feel place it on the grittier side of cozy.* The vintage clothing aspect didn't interest me on its own, but the way Blackwell made it an important part of the plot did. I can see its potential for driving the story in future entries as well.* I'll admit that I was pretty sure who the `bad guy' was long before he/she was revealed (and I was right), but it didn't matter because I was enjoying the book and was involved with the characters.* Secondhand Spirits is enriched by wonderful descriptions of San Francisco, its various neighborhoods and by snippets of the city's history.* The descriptions of witchcraft were detailed and sometimes complicated. I have very little knowledge of the subject, but this "felt" real, making the story work that much better for me. Early on, I did think some of the descriptions of cleansing spells, etc. went on a little too long and slowed the story down a bit.* Occasionally, the vintage Mustang should probably have been referred to simply as "the car". :-)I like mysteries and I like stories with a paranormal aspect but I haven't had a lot of luck finding books that combine the two to my satisfaction. Secondhand Spirits did. I'm definitely on board for the sequels.Recommended.***(I'd like to read more paranormal mysteries and if anyone would like to offer a recommendation or two - perhaps as a comment? - I'd appreciate it. Some time ago, I tried the first volume in both Victoria Laurie's Psychic Eye series and in Madelyn Alt's Bewitching mysteries and didn't care for either of them.)***
