Before Books 1-3

Three gripping time-travel tales of love and murder...

In Before the Killing, 19-year-old Cassie returned to her home town in coastal Massachusetts after her first year away at college in 1973. The next day, her boyfriend, Julian, was implicated in a ruthless killing.

Seven years later, a freak occurrence gives Cassie a unique time-traveling ability, allowing her mind to go back and occupy her younger self. She discovers she can use this power to travel back in time, hoping to prove that her true love is innocent. But what if he's not?

In Before She Was Taken, the question of what happened to Sadie has plagued 25-year-old Rebecca Danser for 19 years. Imagine if at the age of six, you ditched your four-year-old sister to go play with your friend... and then you never saw her again.

When she realizes she has gained the strange ability to cast her consciousness back into a younger version of herself, she hopes to use it to discover who took Sadie that fateful day. But she'll have to let the kidnapper take her in Sadie's place.

In Before He Vanished, Rebecca Danser is back and troubled by the growing sense that she should be using her unique time-traveling ability to find children who have disappeared. When she learns about a boy who vanished a year ago, she becomes obsessed by his case.

Though she struggles to trace his movements, her motivation increases the more she learns about this bright, resourceful child, forced to grow up fast after his widowed mother lost her job and became injured in a car crash. But as the suspects mount, she fears she'll fail to find him before it's too late.

Full of mystery, danger, and heart, each book in the Before Series is about grabbing at second chances to make things right, even when the risk of failure may be death.

Sometimes it's better to let sleeping villains lie.
