Where Echoes Die is the chilling tale of sisters Beck and Riley. When their mother dies after a terrible illness, Beck is lost in grief until she receives a letter in her mother’s handwriting. The sisters secretly travel to Backravel, the mysterious town her mother was obsessed with. When they arrive, it soon becomes clear that there’s something very strange about the townspeople of Backravel. When they catch the attention of the town’s leader, Beck and Riley must decide whether they will risk it all to discover what their mother wrote her last story on. 

Where Echoes Die is an absorbing and horrifying thriller. It’s the type of book where you’ll start looking for all the small clues to try and assemble the twisted puzzle. The plot is truly perplexing and it’s hard to read at times, especially because grief is such a strong theme. Beck’s loss and mourning of her mother is so poignant and evocative. Where the Echoes Die is a story that you’ll be thinking about and mulling over long past the last page. Readers who enjoyed Small Favors (Erin A. Craig), Where Darkness Blooms (Andrea Hannah), and A History of Wild Places (Shea Ernshaw) should check out this book!
