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

	“Max!” I cry out again and shove Axel out of the way but mostly I shove him so he doesn’t see as I whip my hand in Max’s direction. I catch him before he hits the ground and carefully lower him down. He is out cold and would have badly hurt himself if I hadn't used my magic. That is how I rationalize the use of magic. 


	“Oh shit,” I hear Axel mutter as he sees what he did. I kneel next to Max and hear footsteps picking up the pace as they retreat away from us. Axel abandons us.


	“Max,” I say and pat his cheek lightly. “Hey, wake up, Max.” I try to shake his shoulders and then a little more firmly, smack his face again.
