Echoes by David Gearing is a haunting little thriller that blurs the line between ghost story and psychological unraveling. Shannon begins hearing the voice of Rebecca, her high-school best friend and first love, and at first it feels like a miracle. But Rebecca’s return comes with demands, and the more Shannon gives in, the more you question what’s real and what’s only in her mind.

It’s atmospheric, emotional, and unsettling — the kind of book that lingers after you close it. Some parts feel intentionally vague, and not every question gets answered, but that ambiguity is part of what makes it stick. A quick, eerie read with real heart behind the horror
