About this ebook
First in a “spellbinding”* series about a coven of witches living in L.A., from Amber Benson, author of the Calliope Reaper-Jones novels.
Unbeknownst to most of humankind, a powerful network of witches thrives within the shadows of society, using magic to keep the world in balance. But the witches are being eliminated—and we will all pay if their power falls…
When Lyse MacAllister’s great-aunt Eleanora, the woman who raised her, becomes deathly ill, Lyse puts her life in Georgia on hold to rush back to Los Angeles. And once she returns to Echo Park, Lyse discovers her great-aunt has been keeping extraordinary secrets from her.
Not only is Lyse heir to Eleanora’s Victorian house; she is also expected to take her great-aunt’s place in the Echo Park coven of witches. But accepting her destiny means placing herself in deadly peril—for the world of magic is under siege, and the battle the witches now fight may be their last…

When her great-aunt Eleanora, the woman who raised her becomes gravely ill, Elyse MacAllister returns to Echo Park and learns of extraordinary Secrets but soon things become chilling as there is an evil coming for the Witches of Echo Park in this riveting urban fantasy. The author has created a fascinating world that promises great books in the future, Amber Benson provides lots of world building info as well character insights that makes it easy for the reader become enthralled in the book. Although there were a few slow parts, I couldn’t put the book down and I can’t wait to find out what happens next. “Copyright Night Owl Reviews”© See my full review at: Night Owl Reviews .com
