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…

Anyone else excited for this at all? I myself am big fan of her writing, although I regret that I haven't read everything she's published so far (Damn you college for zapping most of my free time).
 
I can't tell if it's something that I'll read, I've never read anything of hers so I'm not sure if it's the genre I like. But I might give it a go, I love that she's writing female characters, it's hard to find good books with female heroines!

It's even harder to find them with male heroines, to be fair. 😛

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Amber's written for a few different genres over the years. She wrote a Zombie apocalypse short story for a collection, her Calliope Reaper Jones series was a fantasy series, and the "Ghosts of Albion" series that she co-wrote with Christopher Golden was a supernatural historical fiction series. 🙂

This one is looking like it's gonna be supernatural like. Kinda like Charmed is what I'm expecting.

I'm very excited for this 😀

I highly recommend you get some of them! 😀
 
I've heard about the Calliope Reaper Jones series, and I think it sounds really good. The whole thing with all the mythology reminds me of the Percy Jackson series and whatever else Rick Riordan has come up with since then.
 
I haven't read anything of hers yet, I've been planning to but somehow haven't gotten around to it. This reminded me that I really should 🙂
