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

		“I cannot believe you got me sent to detention,” I lean towards Max and whisper quietly. He looks over at me and the bruise on his face is now joined by a scratch on her neck. I wince a little seeing it. “Are you okay?”


	“Peachy,” Max says and rolls his neck, I hear it cracking and make a face. I’ve always hated that sound. He faces forward again and I reach over to poke him.


	“What?” He turns to look at me and when he sees the expression on my face his hardened features soften a bit. “What, Charlie?” He asks again but a little kinder.


	“I’m sorry this keeps happening to you,” I say softly when I finally find the words. Max looks at me and smiles sadly.


	“It’s not your fault. I didn’t learn my lesson from the first time, I guess,” Max responds and shrugs. 


	“Still, I feel bad,” I whisper trying to keep my voice down. “I guess you really do like me, huh?” I tease a bit, wanting to lighten the situation.
