"Kenzi Brannon wakes in a psychiatric ward, her mind fractured between reality and hypnotic commands she can't escape. Haunting visions of underground chambers stalk her every thought, and one terrifying question lingers: What if she made me hurt someone?
While Kenzi fights to reclaim her identity, Billa uncovers chilling fragments of her own stolen past. Childhood drawings. Forgotten journals. A one-eyed teddy bear. Each clue points to a horrifying truth: she wasn't just a bystander. She was a victim too.
As Billa and Ember dig into the Radley Institution's buried secrets, the conspiracy grows more dangerous. Other survivors surface—some allies, others unknowingly programmed to silence anyone who gets too close. And in the deepest chambers of the abandoned facility, Billa uncovers a betrayal closer than she ever imagined. It could destroy everything she thought she knew about her family.
The Brannons must decide how far they're willing to go for the truth . . . because some echoes refuse to stay buried. Can they break free from the past before it consumes them completely?
Lost Echoes is perfect for fans of psychological thrillers with dark family secrets and relentless suspense."
"They say you can't change the past. Apparently, they also forgot to mention how easy it is to accidentally get stuck there.
I was using my magic to track down my missing son, Tristan, when one wrong teleport sent my sisters and me careening into 1996 Seattle. Think grunge, frosted lip gloss, and dial-up internet slower than my mother's telekinesis. Oh, and our magic? Bound tighter than a scrunchie on prom night. But now that I'm here, maybe I can stop Tristan's disappearance before it ever happens. Sure, one wrong move could unravel everything I know, but what kind of mother would I be if I didn't try?
Then a CB radio (yes, like truckers use) connects us to other misplaced witches. Including Jesse, who has no business looking that good in flannel or making me forget I can't stay in this decade. Turns out someone chose 1996 as ground zero to destroy magic forever. And apparently, we're the only ones who can stop it.
Now I’m juggling a powerless coven, an inconvenient attraction to a man from the wrong era, and two impossible missions: save my boy from a future that hasn't happened yet, and save magic itself . . . all without Google, a cell phone, or a clue."
"One poor decision will haunt her forever.
Macy Mercer only wants a little independence. Eager to prove herself grown up, she goes to a dark, secluded park. She's supposed to meet the boy of her dreams who she met online. But the cute fifteen year old was a fantasy, his pictures fake. She finds herself face to face with Chester Woodran, a man capable of murder.
Distraught over his own missing daughter, Chester insists that Macy replace his lost girl. He locks Macy up, withholds food, and roughs her up, demanding that she call him dad. Under duress from his constant threats and mind games, her hold on reality starts to slip. Clinging to her memories is the only way of holding onto her true identity, not believing that she is Chester's daughter. Otherwise she may never see her family again."
"When your dead grandma starts giving advice, you know life's about to get weird.
I thought the worst part of the funeral would be saying goodbye. I was wrong. One flash of rainbow light later, and I can feel other people's emotions and blast my own right back at them. (Pro tip: do not get angry at your soon-to-be-ex when your new empathic powers are set to 'maximum chaos.')
As if magical mood swings weren't enough, something dark is stirring in our quaint little town, and my mom's beloved spa is in the line of fire. The culprit? Destry, who is smooth-talking, maddeningly gorgeous, and determined to bulldoze the spa to build his glittering casino. He's the kind of man you cross the street to avoid until he flashes that smile and you forget why you were running. His touch sends black shadows curling through my senses—a warning I should definitely not ignore. And yet, for someone I should be plotting to hex, he's too easy to think about.
Now I'm juggling unpredictable powers, a messy divorce, an empty nest, and a good-luck goblin all while trying to save my family's legacy. But magic has a way of tangling loyalties, and sometimes the most tempting choice is also the most dangerous one."

And what really happened in the abandoned theater on the grounds?

As the walls of Brannon House close in, one thing becomes clear—the past isn't just haunting them, it's hunting them.
Will they uncover the truth before history claims another victim . . . or are the Brannons bound to bleed for their legacy?"
