Reverberations: Norris Lake Witches Book One

Rachel Coffman writes Reverberations, the first volume in the Norris Lake Witches series. Published by Lurlie Appalachian Publishing LLC in January 2025, this work follows Lexi as she leaves her urban existence behind. She seeks shelter at a retreat located on Norris Lake after a near-death experience alters her perspective. Her arrival draws attention from both benevolent and malevolent supernatural entities. These forces urge her to awaken abilities she previously ignored. The narrative examines how past actions shape future outcomes for the characters involved. Lexi faces a critical decision regarding her spiritual path. She must choose between embracing the divine feminine and engaging with dark elements, or abandoning her chance at peace. The story relies on themes of mountain magic and the support found among resilient witches. Love acts as a counterweight to the surrounding dread. Coffman structures the plot around these supernatural conflicts and the protagonist's internal struggle for redemption. Readers who enjoy contemporary gothic fiction with Appalachian settings will find this appealing. Those seeking historical accuracy or non-fiction accounts of real witch trials may not connect with this narrative. The book focuses on fictional supernatural events rather than documented history.
