Secret Legacy is the first book in The Windhaven Witches series and is full of quotes from Buffy, which I loved! Autumn thinks she is a 'normal' person and her mum encourages her to think that way. Her dad is supernatural but she doesn't have much to do with him. So imagine her surprise when she receives a full scholarship to a prestigious school that she never even applied for. She decides to go for it and then is swept away by forgotten memories, unknown abilities, and mysteries.

The one thing I wasn't too keen on is the Wade situation. Not only was it insta-love but there is seriously something off with that dude and Autumn never seems to notice! And please don't tell me about his silver eyes any more! I just can't cope!!

Apart from that, there was plenty here to keep me occupied and turning the pages. I would love to know more about the other main characters and the school Autumn is attending but, maybe, that is something that will follow in later books.

There are some usual tropes in this book - from normal girl with untold powers to slightly dodgy boyfriend - but it is entertaining. The world-building could do with some work as I have questions about how the supernatural fits into everything but, on the whole, it wasn't bad.

A great start to a new series and I can't wait to find out more. Definitely recommended by me.

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book, and the comments here are my honest opinion. *

This is the third book in this series by this author. This author has the ability to bring you stories that just blow you away. The characters are written so intensely that you can't help but be sucked into the story. this story will keep you hooked till the very end. This is a hot and sensual story to keep you warm on these autumn nights. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

Album Favorite

"I think Eva Cassidy falls more into the Enya category. When it first came out, I think the thing with Eva Cassidy - and I deliberately chose her - is that she was an amazing singer, and there's very few people who could sing like her. The songs on there - 'Autumn Leaves', 'Fields Of Gold' - it's an amazing covers record, and she really influenced me actually, as a singer. Her voice is so clean, and I'm quite a clean singer. I lived for that record for about two to three years."
