Publisher's summary

With her vintage clothing store taking off, Lily Ivory is finding that life in San Francisco suits her just fine. But her ability to sense vibrations from the past, so useful in locating secondhand gems, has landed her in the middle of a new mystery....

Lily gets called away from Aunt Cora's Closet when the police need a witch's take on a strange case. Malachi Zazi was stabbed to death in his apartment, under a ladder, surrounded by the number thirteen, a broken mirror, and a black cat-superstitions that the victim, as head of a rationalist society, was devoted to discrediting. When the police identify a suspect from the Serpentarian Society, Lily is shocked to learn it's someone she knows.

But with bad luck plaguing all its members, she begins to wonder if there's more at work than mere coincidence. And while there aren't many clues from the crime scene, Lily finds evidence of dark witchcraft and a hex on her friend's doorstep. With her friend's safety at stake, Lily is determined to use magic to find the murderer before everyone's luck runs out.

Fun story, fun characters, fun book

What did you love best about Hexes and Hemlines?

I love the characters, so seemingly real, yet not...and the reader Xe is perfect

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Because I love the characters, I want to know what happens. For that reason, I was on the edge of my (car) seat!

Better with each book

I’ve read several of Juliet Blackwell’s books, but never with audible, while I’m not a super fan of Xe Sands whispery delivery it is growing on me. More importantly, the book. As with all Juliet Blackwell books the characters grow and develop in each one. I’m waiting for the day when Lily Ivory, my now favorite vintage clothing store owner finds and settles on one man, but there seem to be so many in the running. As for the story here, Lily gets in touch with a part of her past/power she’s been reluctant to embrace.

Love Blackwell

Blackwell’s characters are down right delicious and insanely hilarious. The gargoyle/pig is just too cute!

Ok

I preferred the first two books. This one didn't have any of the creepy otherworldly mystery, more about interpersonal human relationships.
