Echoes


Book Description

Owen Asher is back in Helicon, and Sawyer Snow doesn’t like it. Sawyer doesn’t believe Nora Sparrow when she says that Owen deserves another chance. Owen’s not a good person. He’s manipulative and cruel, and there’s no way he can be rehabilitated. When Sawyer sees Nora kissing Owen, he’s convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt that Owen has done something horrible to Nora to make her behave this way. Sawyer doesn’t know what’s happened, but he knows it can’t be good. With help of his friends, Sawyer will do whatever it takes to save Nora—to save all of Helicon—from whatever scheme Owen has planned. The Helicon series is a soapy, irreverent portal fantasy wherein the drama of teen relationships tends to overshadow whatever magical threat they’re trying to fight. Lots of drinking, swearing, inappropriate sexual decisions, grappling with sexual orientation and gender, and random appearances by mythological figures thrown in for good measure. It’s genre-bending, impossible to categorize, and for everyone out there who equally loves Gossip Girl, Rocky Horror, and Narnia.
