Erin wanted to give her daughter, Charlie, a normal childhood, but Charlie isn't a normal child. Charlie and her mother are both witches. After escaping government captors, Erin gave birth on the run and spent many years moving Charlie from town to town to avoid being locked up and experimented on. When Charlie started high school, Erin made a promise they wouldn't move again until she had graduated. Now, they've made it to senior year without issue but when a new kid shows up at school, Charlie notices something strange about him. In order to uncover the truth, she begins acting out of character and going behind her mother's back to handle everything on her own. Charlie's reckless behavior opens the door for trouble to quickly find them once again. With Erin as her teacher, Charlie still has a lot to learn before she is ready to face the unknown evils that have been after them for all these years.

Witches In Suburbia

       “How did you know I was staying at Emily’s house?” I ask after we’ve walked in silence for a few minutes. 


	“I was out running some errands and saw you and your mom driving up to that house. You got out with what looked like an overnight bag so I just sort of assumed,” Max offers the explanation and I accept it. “Was it bad that I showed up tonight?”


	“No, it’s okay. I know that I have been avoiding you and that’s really not fair to you. Although, how much can I really avoid you when you’re in most of my classes?” I laugh a little and feel myself starting to relax. There is still so much I don’t know about Max but for some reason, I do not feel a heightened sense of paranoia around him. 


	I touch the locket on my neck and I can feel the energy radiating through it. It is still working so at this moment, there must not be anything that threatens me.
