A Special Note from Carissa Andrews:
Do you know someone with cancer?
In 2016, I lost my brother to brain cancer. It flipped our family’s world upside down. This year, a dear friend is fighting stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
In my own small way, I want to help “be the change” by donating 50% of all royalties from the sale of Secret Legacy (Book 1 of the Windhaven Witches) in 2020. My goal is to raise $2000 to be given to the American Cancer Society in honor of them both.
By preordering your copy, you’re helping me reach this goal and make a difference.

I liked Book I, Secret Legacy, but I loved Soul Legacy. It had a few quirks, such as a couple of continuity errors from Book I to Book II, but nothing major. Plus, the fact I found it a little easy to decipher who was behind these revenant attacks made the work less thrilling than I anticipated.
However, Andrews puts the pedal to the metal in this one and doesn’t let up. Ranging from a zombie chase in the middle of a cemetery to the perp looking to frame another for their crimes of awakening the dead. And there, the action was only beginning to heat up.
I also loved the way our current main cast of characters grow and mature. Along with the arc coming from Autumn’s mentor, Abigail. It was great to see characters with different goals in the work go after them in their own way…sometimes toward cataclysmic consequences, as you will find out.
I’m looking forward to continuing with Book III, Haunted Legacy, to see what becomes of Autumn and this dynamic cast of characters
I am floored by what happens in here. Carissa’s imagination is :-O I didn’t see this coming, but I liked seeing how the characters come together, or not. I love Autumn and can’t wait to see more of her progress with learning her gifts.
This book is an excellent addition to the series. It carries on seamlessly from the previous book. I loved the individual character personalities and enjoyed seeing their relationship dynamics evolve and grow through the book. The book was action packed and full of twists and turns. It had suspense, intrigue, emotion and romance.
I’d highly recommend this book and look forward to the next book in this series!!
I received an arc for a voluntary review.
This book was again a great read. Brilliantly constructed, it was an easy read. I couldn’t put it down. Just when I thought I knew where it was going, I felt a big switcheroo coming! I just knew I couldn’t be wrong, then BLAM! I got hit on the side of my head when all was revealed! I can’t wait to see where the final book goes, but that’s still a little ways to go. I know the next book will be fabulous!! This was even… dare I say it?… better than the first! We’re in for one wild ride, and I can tell I won’t be ready to get off after the 4th book! I can’t imagine how this will wrap up, but I’m excited for the possibilities!
I received this book as a gift and have offered my honest opinion above.
what is going to happen next I can’t wait to see, after all the secrets.
Who has unleashed the undead? Why would they do it? Wade’s 1st term at the academy is full of stares and questions. Autumn does her best to stand up for Wade but she too becomes a suspect and is thrown into a nightmare. Autumn learns more about her powers, who Wade really is and what can go wrong when you bring back the dead. Another great installment of the Legacy series! Loved every minute I spent inside this world!
I enjoyed the first book, Secret Legacy, but this was a whole new ball game and totally up my street. The author really gets us right into the action, and, boy, I so enjoy a good ritual. There’s twists and turns aplenty, and when Autumn has to close her eyes to ‘see’ the hidden world, you can actually visualise it and feel what she does. It’s very well written. I also love the strong role that a certain distant relative takes when learning more of what Autumn needs to survive. We also find out more about Wade. It’s a wee bit eye-popping…
There’s some very clever things in here, one of which is the way the students are taught in the classroom. I’ve never come across this before. It’s brilliant. There’s much more depth to the story, the characters, and their use of powers than in the first book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I’m not going to spoil the excellent storyline for anyone, but the reader is dragged up off their seat and carried along for the ride. It’s exciting and furiously page-turningly good. You won’t be able to put it down. Can’t wait for book three!
I chose an early copy (via StoryOrigin) which I then voluntarily read and honestly reviewed. All opinions are my own.
Revenants are showing up and it seems like they are coming right for Wade and Autumn. Autumn is going to have to grow into her powers quickly. I am a little put off by her complete love for Wade as he has secrets and she just blindly follows. However, she does finally learn some secrets in this book and I am looking forward to where they go from here. I am really enjoying this series and love the way the author is weaving her magic.
Suspenseful and mysterious
This second installment of the Windhaven series was definitely suspenseful and very mysterious! Andrews has an amazing way constantly developing the characters of her story and is great with the timeline in which things are revealed. Some secrets are yet to be uncovered which leaves high anticipation for the next in the series!! Highly recommended if you love mystery and suspense dipped in a little magic!!
So, going into this second book in the series, I found the story to be just as entertaining and engaging as book one. There’s quite the mystery that needs solving and questions needing answers. Then there’s a nice little plot twist. I don’t want to give anything away, but this story is thrilling and a book I’d recommend to anyone who likes magical academy reads. I can’t wait for book three.
Soul Legacy is the second book in The Windhaven Witches series.
I voluntarily received and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
Final Rating: 5 Stars
Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love the characters and the mystery of the storyline. The imagery is awesome. This is one of those books that is very hard to put down once you’ve started reading. I am very excited for the next book in the series!
Quite the page-turner with a nice little plot twist and cliffhanger ending…what’s next?
I loved this book. The story keeps growing and growing. I enjoy the adventures that Autumn and her friends are on. I’m disappointed by some of the actions of her friends, but that’s life. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
I received an ARC copy and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
Wow! Things get even more intense in this book as graves are being dug up, and zombies run a mock..Even worse is Autumn and those she cares about are suspect. Can she learn more about her heritage, the past, and who is behind this craziness in time? Secrets start to reveal themselves, but more questions remain. An action packed gem of a book. I can’t wait to see what’s next in this exciting series.
Carissa Andrews second book “Soul Legacy” is just as good and very different then the first book “Secret Legacy”. The stage is now set and we know Autumn’s legacy and get to see what she is doing with her new gifts. Wade has now entered Collage at Windhaven as he waits to find out his gifts. I must admit I wish there was more said and enacted during the Witching Stick ceremony at school and less about the his apartment. But, Wade is in and ready to start learning but a problem has arisen and must be dealt with by our main characters Autumn and Wade. I love the personalities that Carissa has created for each character which are more defined in “Soul Legacy”, they have grown quite a bit. They meet up with the mysterious man again and Autumn can see other dimensions with her eye closed, WHAT?!?! and she goes where no one else is allowed or they will die if they do but guess who she found there, you’ll never guess, that blew me away, wow so much more unfolds. Carissa’s writing flows and this is such a fun read. I highly recommend this series.
I was given a copy on StoryOrigin for free in exchange for an honest review.
Autumn is attending Windhaven Academy she received a full scholarship to attend. Autumn thinks there has been some mistake as she has no magical powers of any kind but hey it is a full scholarship. Autumn is happy to learn that her boyfriend Wade is also going to be attending Windhaven Academy with her.
Autumn is worried about Wade as he is acting kind of off lately but she just puts it down to his grandfather dying recently. Wade’s mind has been somewhere else a lot lately. Is he thinking about his grandfather or could it be something else entirely?
Someone is going around town digging up graves and it is not the gravediggers at the cemetery. The graves are being desecrated and the bodies removed. Why would anyone what to desecrate a grave? Who would do such a thing? Rumor has it that Wade is responsible for the act. Is Wade capable of doing something so horrid?
To hopefully clear his name sooner than the law is doing Autumn and Wade decide to join in on the investigation. Strange things start to happen which neither one of them can explain. Their investigation opens up a whole new world for them and leads them down roads they are not sure they want to visit. Can they solve the crime? Will they be able to clear Wade of the crime? Is Wade guilty or not?
Soul Legacy is an enchanting read and once it grabs on it will take you for a thrilling ride and won’t let go until the very end with all its twist and turns in between. Soul Legacy has secrets that it likes to hold on to letting them slip out one by one pumping up the old adrenaline until you are about to burst and then it slams you in the face like bam.
