The Witches of Echo Park

The Witches of Echo Park #1 Amber Benson Expected Publication: January 6, 2015 Genre: YA Paranormal

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…

I've read Amber Benson's Ghost of Albion books after a friend introduced me to the web series many years ago. Watched it, and then looked for things related to it which brought me Accursed, Witchery and Astray. 
I've seen Witches of Echo Park in some WoW posts and couldn't help but get curious... and here we are. It's about witches! Witches!
