Legacy Witches by Cass Kay

First off this book does contain triggers such as Graphic Violence, Assault and Murder. If you can handle those things than you must read Legacy Witches.
Vianna Roots is part of a long and powerful line of Legacy Witches that are part of the Blood Coven. They are part of a line of Witches that have existed since the first coven was formed in Salem. Vianna's mother Angeline is a  stout and loyal witch who has always followed the very strict, very old school rules that all Witches live by. Sadly Vianna does not agree with that lifestyle and one day after a tragic incident in her home she leaves to hide from Salem and her Legacy Mother.
News eventually comes from Salem that her mother has died and as Vianna is the last Legacy Witch in her line its her responsibility to go home to bury her mother with the proper rights, afterwards her intent is to sell the house. Not long after arriving at the house the ghosts of her past and everyone else's start to bombard her. 
Vianna is one of the only Witches who can also see the dead. While going through her families conjuring room she finds a rotting hand which vanishes when the house or should be say her familiar Shuck, the demon who has bonded with the house, takes it. The ghosts of her Grandma Susanna tells her that the hand belongs to Vianna's childhood friend Nancy. Her mother Angeline removed it as torture and retribution. Retribution for what? Vianna watches as Nancy's death loop plays itself out in her bathroom and swears to find out exactly what happened to her.
She never imagined that trying to find out what happened to Nancy would begin the war that it does between Vianna a Solitary Witch who refused to take on the mantle of her family and The Reigning Covens. 
Something strange is happening with the Witches. Rose who took on the name of a Legacy Witch to help continue the Barton line has somehow become very important to the coven. As a first generation Witch and not truly by blood a Legacy something doesn't seem right.  But with the help of Shuck who has bonded to Vianna whether she wanted it or not she works to unravel the mystery of whats happening in Salem with the Covens.
However without her family mantel will she be strong enough to take on all of the covens? 
I loved this book so much, I had it finished in less than 24hrs. Its interesting in all of its details and pulls you right into the story. There isn't much of  love story except that between a woman and her family, of course that is perfectly fine although they do hint at something with a cop named Grayson. I was so sad when the book was done because I  enjoyed all the characters so much. The book is filled with Hexes, Voodoo, HooDoo, Conjuring, familiars and so much more!  
I truly hope that you pick up Legacy Witches and get lost in its fantastic pages!
