Blurb:

Family Secrets Shrouded in Death. An Ancestral Home with Secrets of its Own. And a Legacy of Power She Can’t Escape.

When Autumn gets a full scholarship invite to the Windhaven Academy, an exclusive college meant for witches and other supernaturals, she thinks someone in the head office has clearly made a mistake. She’s a mundane human with no special abilities whatsoever. Or so she thinks.

Ever since she moved into her dad’s ancestral home to give Windhaven Academy a try, strange things have been happening. There are weird, secret rooms in the house and her new friends keep urging her to learn more about her past in order to unlock her powers.

When Autumn finally uncovers her family’s secret legacy, she wants nothing more than to turn back time or walk away. But fate has other plans and if she doesn’t bow to the power coursing through her, she could destroy the entire fabric of life and death.

If you loved Necromancer: The Complete Series by MR Forbes, Supernatural Academy by Jaymin Eve, the Tracker Hive Academy by Avery Song, or the Fallen Academy by Leie Stone, then the Windhaven Academy is your next gotta-stay-up-all-night-and-binge-read series!




My Review:


Autumn lives at home with her mom and is waiting on the day when she can earn enough money to get into college. Autumn’s lucky day has arrived when she receives a special invite to attend the Windhaven Academy with a full scholarship. Autumn is ecstatic to have received such an invitation but her mother is not so thrilled.

Autumn wonders why she has received an invitation as she never applied besides she has no special powers or abilities. Windhaven Academy is for people with special powers, witches and the supernatural. Why would they give a scholarship to someone like her, someone with no powers of any kind? But she doesn’t question it too much as she is very happy to have this opportunity to attend college.

Autumn’s father lives in Windhaven and close to the academy. Autumn decides to stay with her father instead of living on campus. Her father’s home is very large and has ghost wondering the halls. Not only has Autumn seen the ghosts wondering the halls she found a secret room also. And not to mention the strange scratching noises that she hears.

Strange things are going on in her new home and there are some things that are not the way she remembers them to be from her childhood. What Autumn remembers of her past may not be what truly happened.

What is going on? Why are there secrets in her past? What are her mother and father hiding from her? For that matter what is the whole town hiding from her? Another question, does Autumn have any kind of magical abilities? If so what are they? If not why was she accepted at the academy? To learn the answers to all the questions one click your copy of Secret Legacy today!

Secret Legacy does have its secrets like the title says. It holds on to those secrets revealing them one by one keeping you glued to the pages as each one is revealed and ramping up the excitement and the old adrenaline as you race to the end trying to solve all the clues. Secret Legacy has a lot of twists as well leading up to the end oh and that end is a real shocker which now has me anticipating the next book in the Windhaven Academy series, Soul Legacy.
