Wynter Chelsea: The Legacy by Becca Michelle Ritchie is an interesting read. At times I find myself wanting to put this book down, however, I picked it right back up.

This book is really interesting with a very old legend about the Wynter and Chelsea’s family. I find it intriguing to learn about their families’ legacy and what they do for a living. The way that the legacy and the story is described, it makes me feel like I know what exactly is happening and that I am part of the story More...

I went into this book pretty much on blind faith because of the lack of reviews online, but I couldn't really say no when (1) the synopsis of the book was so intriguing, and (2) the author was so courteous and sweet. After reading the book, I was glad I decided to go with it.

This book was completely amazing. There's action from the very beginning and it doesn't let up until the very end. There's demons and other creatures around every bend, each different yet just as evil as the last. More...

My thoughts...Welcome to an original world complete with paranormal creatures, magical powers, and magical legends.

In this first book in the series, we meet some interesting characters. First, we get to know the heroine Amanda. Initally, readers experience her frustration. She is treated by her family like a porcelian doll, incapable of making decisions, or defending herself. This causes her to make some decisions that seem irrational and wreckless. Amanda posseses the gift of empat More...

Wynter Chelsea: The Legacy is one of those stories that are jam-packed with everything a reader could possibly want. There’s do-or-die action, some mystery involving a legacy and some odd tattoos, unique characters with powers, followed by an interesting plot, and even a little romance thrown in. Becca Ritchie’s take on the paranormal is refreshing. The legacy involving these two families – the Wynter’s and the Chelsea’s – is complex and shrouded in lies. The youngest generation o More...

REVIEW:
Wynter Chelsea: The Legacy is a young adult novel that tells an interesting tale about two families. I did really enjoy the beginning but as I went on it was very repetitive but I needed to know what would happen next.

Two families exists called the Wynter’s and Chelsea’s, they both pass down generation to generation a unique l More...

Amanda is the only girl in a legacy of demon hunters, two families destined to fight the dark forces in the world. She's consistently trying to prove to herself and to others that she is every bit a part of her family's history as her brother, but it almost seems to bring her further from that. But the forces of darkness are always there, and Amanda seems to be fighting both inside and out, and as much as she wants to fight and be someone, she's got a lot to live up to. Some of what the Wynter a More...

This was definitely a book that sucks you in and brings out the emotions full force! It was a creative take on a supernatural story with many unique ideas. I like that the author wasn't afraid to create something new. What is hard for an author is making it believable. Yeah, we may know that these creatures aren't real, but an author needs to be able to convince us that it is real. And while I may have thought a few things far fetched for the most part I was sucked into the story enough tha More...

Why I read the book: I was sent an invitation to be on the blog tour and the description intrigued me.

What I liked: The concept of two families that have through generations fought the good fight against evil. I liked the secrecy of what they do being kept from the rest of the world. Having them live closely together, the 4 children growing up together felt like a family unit. It reminded me of the tv show Supernatural, but with more kids…and two families. I liked the uniqueness of o More...

The Chelseas and the Wynters are the last line of defense between humans and the paranormal creatures that roam the world seeking to overrun it. From the beginning of time, there have always been Wynters and Chelseas fighting against the evil forces in the world. But something is different in this generation. For the first time, a girl has been born to the Chelsea family. Amanda Chelsea. And this changes the game for everyone.


Amanda may be a Chelsea, but she's not allowed More...

The Wynter’s and Chelsea’s are a long line of hunters that protected the world from the danger lurking in the shadows. Although, this generation is very different from those before them. Amanda, Jack, Dustin, and Trevor are trying to live as normal a life as possible; for four young adults with special powers. Amanda leads readers through this story from her perspective. Being the only girl she has lived a life of abandonment when the boys were trained skills to carry out their legacies. It is a More...

The world Becca Ritchie created in Wynter Chelsea: The Legacy is filled with action, suspense, paranormal creatures, and a little bit of romance. She wrote this book when she was just fourteen, and I have to say, she did a pretty amazing job with it!

The characters are well thought out and written. The heroine, Amanda, is very interesting. She wants to be a demon hunter like the rest of the people in her family, but they won’t let her fight. All her family wants to do is keep her lock More...

Sometimes you read books and afterwards toss them aside, realizing you should have used your time more wisely. Then other times, you read books and when you're finished...you stare at the cover for a while wondering how you didn't open it sooner. That's what I did with Wynter Chelsea. I stared at it on my bookshelf and asked myself "why didn't I open you? You have this whole world inside of you and I didn't even know it". As corny as this may sound, I know it now and I can't forget it. More...

An impressive debut from a young, talented author. Wynter Chelsea is full of action, mysteries, and just the right amount of humor. Becca Ritchie creates a vivid world where supernatural beings live in fear of the Wynters and the Chelseas. Two families whose legacy it is to destroy these creatures of the night. There has never been a female born into this legacy. That is, until now. Amanda has lived her whole life feeling left out because she's a girl and her family doesn't want her to fight. Li More...

This book is great!! I read it in I think about a day, and I re-read it a bunch of times after that. It's really captivating and hard to believe it was only written by a 17 year old. Very well written and extremely addictive.
