Echoes In the Loop
Synthetic companions are designed to die within 96 minutes of their human partners. No exceptions.
When seven bodies are discovered inside an abandoned lab, Detective Morgan Faris uncovers a hidden world of synth survivors who grieve, remember, and fight for one another in ways they were never meant to. At the center is a quiet man living in the shadows to protect those who remain and a child whose existence is believed impossible. As Morgan follows the truth, she finds herself caught between the system she’s always trusted and the lives she never believed were real.
Sometimes survival depends on starting over. Tess needs a peaceful fresh start and an instinct beyond rational explanation brings her to a haunted Victorian with a very strict twenty-one-day eviction policy. With a dying neighbor bringing muffins, a python and her own secrets, Tess outstays the deadline. The house responds by simply refusing to let her leave.
If Tess wants to survive, she’ll need to find the truth of what happened in her house 40 years before and stop pretending her own past never happened.
