Lily Ivory 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 and 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 easy - especially under the spells of sexy "mythbuster" Max Carmichael and powerful witch Aidan Rhodes. Will Lily's witchy ways be forced out of the closet?

What the critics say

"Lily Ivory is a 21st-century Samantha Stevens, minus the nose wriggling. The story combines fun and seriousness for an entertaining read." ( Romantic Times)

The narrator is awesome, she really made the story come alive for me. Contrary to another review, Oscar is a very loveable character and I can see a bit of comedy from his part in the story. Going to get the second book now.

Loved it

I made it through the first book. I think I liked the story but the narrative is so bad it was a struggle to keep listening. I cannot do it again. I get this book on my kindle to see if I do like it.

can't listen anymore

I got over halfway through the book, and realized that it just wasn't my cup of tea. Between the drawl of the voice actor, and a story which felt as if the author needed to describe the same facets of contemporary witchcraft over and over again, I felt it was stretched out to the point of being dull. I might revisit it someday, but it's unlikely.

The story wasn't for me

I feel like someone is trying to lull me to sleep with a quiet story
