The Reconstructionist trilogy begins with Catching Echoes (Reconstructionist 1). *Reminder* the full reading order can be found at the beginning of each of the books or by clicking here.
Wisteria Fairchild is a witch with an exceedingly specific talent. Given enough residual magic, she can reconstruct magical events, creating a visual representation that she can then store and playback at will – at a tribunal, or during the course of an investigation. Wisteria works as a specialist for the witches’ Convocation.
In book one, Wisteria is partnered – exceedingly unwillingly – with an ancient vampire, Kettil the executioner of the Conclave. Together they investigate a series of teenage suicides. Or, at least, deaths that appear to be suicides on the surface. As the case stirs up echoes of Wisteria’s own abusive childhood, the vampire appears to have ulterior motives … for everything he does and says.
*Spoiler alert* he does. But then, any reader who has read the Dowser series wouldn’t expect anything less from Kett.
Book two and three dig deeper into Wisteria’s past as she investigates a series of witch kidnappings, navigates a burgeoning relationship with Kett, and comes to terms with her future.
“We’re following a centuries-old vampire with extensive, unknown powers into a funeral home. What could possibly go wrong?”
“Well, we could lose our accreditation. Then we’d have to resort to running an organic grocery or holistic clinic.”
“You’ve thought this through.”
“Extensively.” Jasmine tugged the door open further, then stepped inside the dark, wide corridor beyond.
