Books like Tarnished and Torn by Juliet Blackwell
Lily Ivory runs a popular vintage clothing store, a business that lets her blend her love of antiques with her life as a local witch. When a flaming fire breaks out at a bustling antique jewelry fair, she finds herself embroiled in a murder investigation that turns as mysterious as the magic she wields. The victim, a shrewd merchant named Griselda, is killed in a way that echoes an old-fashioned witch hunt, drawing Lily deeper into her own secret world.
With police suspecting Lily’s estranged father, who may have a darker past, she must clear his name and solve the crime before her own legacy is tarnished. Balancing bargain hunting, ancient spells, and the intrigue of a cozy mystery, Lily’s journey is one of self‑discovery, family secrets, and the vibrant undercurrents of San Francisco’s hidden magical community.
