The Weight of Echoes

One touch was all it took to change everything. Seventeen-year-old Veronica Simon has the ability to see—thoughts, memories, and even secrets—when she touches people. She hides this power from everyone, even herself, but most of all, the cult-like Faith Fellowship Congregation her dad drags her to every Sunday. Everything changes when she sees a disturbing vision of her estranged mom as she accidentally touches a Faith Fellow. Between that and her father's uncharacteristic behavior, Veronica begins to realize something more sinister than lawyers and custody agreements have kept her mom away. With the help of her troubled crush, Veronica uncovers a trail leading straight to the shady head of the Faith Fellowship cult. But if they discover her powers, the web of conspiracy and secrets will put both their lives in danger. Veronica must decide how much—or who—she's willing to risk to save her mom. Because if she fails, Faith Fellowship could destroy everything she cares about, including her life. If you take City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab with Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle and add the structure of The Whispering Dark by Kelly Andrew, you'll have The Weight Of Echoes.
