Summary
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...

A new kind of witch
Very much the opening tale in a series, you are welcomed into Benson's coven of would be witches as they face a turn in the tide, their fates headed towards danger.
The characterisation of Lyse and Eleanora shows the maternal friendship between the two are both unified and separate. Their love for one another makes Lyse's journey into the unknowable believeable.
Add to the that a cast of women both young, old and older/ghost and you feel a powerful yet homely bond among the Witches of Echo Park.
While the action is saved for fleeting moments, you are easily submerged in Benson's world. I look forward to listening to the next instalment.

I can't wait to return to Echo Park and hear more from this series!
I'll start by saying I am huge fan of Amber Benson and I think this is her best book yet! I was and will always be a huge fan of her Death's Daughter series with it's great characters, wonderfully snarky sense of humour, sex and romance. All of these elements are still here but The Witches Of Echo Park has a very tone. We meet a diverse group of women and it's their relationships that drive the plot forward. They must work, fight and use their magic to protect each and the world from the coming darkness that has the power to destroy us all. Amber is skilled at not only creating characters who the reader or in this case listener will care about but that also feel authentic each with their own personality and quirks that make them unique. The biggest character in the book for me is Echo Park itself you get a real sense of Amber's love for the place itself shines through. Her vivid descriptions not only create a rich backdrop for the story but make want to return again and again. As an actor Amber is able to give each character their own voice literally and adding another dimension to add to this exciting story. If you like urban fantasy with magic, emotion, humour, sorrow, action and more then The Witches of Echo Park is for you. I can't wait to return to Echo Park to find out what happens next.
