Publisher's summary

Lily Ivory and her friends are planning a 1950s-themed brunch to benefit the local women's shelter. When a figure from her past shows up unannounced, threatening her unless she returns something that belonged to him, Lily's fiance, Sailor, steps in to defend her. After the same man is found dead later that day, Sailor is the primary suspect. He swears he's innocent, but multiple witnesses ID him as the perpetrator of the assault. Lily vows to clear his name...only she's not sure where to start with the mounting evidence against him.

When she sees Sailor in the neighborhood despite knowing he's in jail, Lily starts to wonder if there could be a doppelganger in San Francisco. When she's not busy helping customers find matching outfits for the upcoming event, searching for a vintage wedding dress for her own nuptials, and dealing with an ill-timed magical cold, Lily begins to suspect one of her magical foes is targeting her loved ones in an attempt to weaken her.

Another Home Run for Blackwell and Sands

Juliet Blackwell is one of my favorite authors: her mysteries are true Cozies to me, comforting as a cup of tea on a dark and stormy night (or after a rough day at the office). There is humor without slapstick, romance without gobs of sex, and plenty of characters to love, hate, and wonder about. These are books I listen to at least on a yearly basis - and A Magical Match is a lovely addition to Ms. Blackwell's oeuvre. The only problem I have with Ms. Blackwell is my impatience as she works on the next book - in any of her series.

Xe Sands has matured as a reader from the beginning of the series: her voice is liquid and warm, as if she's very quietly telling this story just to you. Her female characters are individual and distinctive: I would love a bit more individualism in the male characters,- but this is a quibble (and perhaps noticeable because I tend to re-listen to all of the books in these series before I allow myself a listen of the new book). Mea culpa.

Another Great Lily Adventure!

This latest of Lily's life was both intriguing and tense. I wasn't sure how it would go with Lily pairing up with sultry Patience to help Sailor. Aside from the not very realistic portrayal of Patience as a Rom fortuneteller, her femme fatale confidence really came through. I think my own rhythm must've been off because the reveal of the evildoer seemed a bit flat to me- I should go back to relisten. As always with the Lilly books, I recommend this one.

#feelgood

I am not-so-patiently awaiting more in this series! I love the magical mystery series and cannot get enough of this one. I feel like falling in love with these characters has opened my eyes to my own potentially judgmental nature. Plus, who can ever get enough of Oscaroo? #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

They just keep getting better and better!

I started this series 10 books ago begrudgingly. I first discovered Juliet Blackwell with the Annie Kincaid series (4books) which I loved, loved, loved. And because I wanted more, of this new to me writer, I started reading the Mel Turner books… and now, Lily Ivory. I see only one more book in front of me. Please don’t stop writing this series. It’s been wonderful, don’t stop now.

I Crave More!

I bought the 1st book in this Witchcraft Mystery Series because I fell in love with Xe Sands' voice in the short sample. Now, a couple of weeks later, and 9 books down, I feel lost without the next book ready to go. The stories are captivating. The characters are continuously revealed, with interesting surprises, tugs at our hearts, and bits of solid wisdom concerning being human, (and otherwise), in a difficult, beautiful, scary, enchanting world.

This series has been termed "cozy paranormal mysteries", and I guess that fits, but in a way, these stories are in a class by themselves. Heartwarming and frightening aren't usually adjectives used to describe the same thing. Give this series a try. Inhabit this rewarding world created by Juliet Blackwell, and given voice by Xe Sands.

Always enjoy all Juliet Blackwell stories

I always enjoy all of Juliet Blackwell’s stories. The Witchcraft Mysteries series is by far my favorite. Lily and Oscar are wonderful well developed characters that continue to grow. Xe Sands, as always, gave a wonderful performance.
