New Release Review: The Witches of Echo Park (The Witches of Echo Park #1) by Amber Benson

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

From beloved author, director, and actress, Amber Benson…

Unbeknownst to most of humankind, a powerful network of witches thrives within the shadows of society, using their magic to keep the world in balance. But they are being eliminated—and we will all pay if their power falls…

When Elyse MacAllister’s great-aunt Eleanora, the woman who raised her, becomes deathly ill, Lyse puts her comfortable 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 secrets—extraordinary secrets—from her.

Not only is Lyse heir to Eleanora’s Victorian estate; she is also expected to take her great-aunt’s place in the Echo Park coven of witches. But to accept her destiny means to place herself in deadly peril—for the world of magic is under siege, and the battle the witches now fight may be their last… 

My Review:

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.
