Sarah Laker's memory is alive. Alive with the dead. 
Experiences of strange phenomena are the norm within 28-year-old Sarah's farmhouse. Armed with borrowed equipment, she sets out to prove the place is haunted. A haunting is easier to accept than the possibility that she's losing her sanity, just like her father, but with each passing day her grip on reality as she knows it slips a little further away. 
Sarah's old college friends, Duncan and Luke, provide her with support and relief from the never-ending worry. Bound together through grief at the age of eighteen, the prospect of becoming more than friends has always lingered in the background.
Will friendship and the potential for romance be enough to set Sarah's feet on solid ground, or will she slide into madness like those who've gone before her?
Set in the tranquil countryside of East Anglia during the final year of the twentieth century, some of these events are fictional and some are based in reality. The author leaves it up to you to wade into the haunting echoes of the world beyond our knowledge and decide which is which.

One story, multiple ways to enjoy it! Read the bestselling published book right here as Wattpad Original or experience the story as a Webcomic on WEBTOON. Dive into the world of love and magic, any way you like to read. *** Sometimes love is the strongest magic of all *** Nineteen-year-old Rhia Greenbrook has lived in the sleepy town of Oakriver in a house with three generations of witches her entire life. Rhia draws her magic from the earth and likes to spend her time amongst plants and nature. Her practice is gentle, sacred, and-per her family's tradition-secret. New-to-town witch Valerie Morgan is looking for answers about her mother's disappearance from Oakriver seventeen years ago. Without her mother's guidance, Valerie has cultivated her fire magic on her own and she makes no effort to keep her powers hidden. Although Rhia is immediately annoyed by Valerie's blatant use of magic, she can't deny the instant magnetism between them. But amidst their magical connection, a dark presence looms over Oakriver. Unsettling visions from Rhia's grandmother and dangerous sleepwalking episodes throw into question Valerie's past and what role her presence plays in the strange happenings. And as Valerie gets tangled up further into the darkness, it's up to Rhia to tap into the full potential of her power in order to save the town she loves and the girl she's fallen for.
