Sister Lost
Sister Lost follows Minneapolis single mother Lexie Novak, the new owner of the house on Washburn Avenue. As soon as she and her four-year-old daughter Ava move in, the nightmares, the headaches, and the strange electrical sensations begin. Ava, normally a bright and happy girl, throws violent tantrums – and Lexie catches herself thinking of ways to kill the little shit. With the help of neighbor Ryan Laughlin, Lexie must uncover the secrets of the house on Washburn Avenue – and reunite a dying man with his long-lost twin sister – before it’s too late.

"The riveting story captures the imagination and contains the elements in which nightmares are born. Superbly written, the plot held me spellbound and breathless from the first page to the last."
"Overall, it’s a really solid read! If you like mystery and true crime, this book has it. If you like character driven stories, you’re almost sure to like this one. It’s just such a page turner that keeps you engaged."
Brenda Lyne’s enjoyable, fast-paced novel SISTER LOST rather quickly abandons the traditional haunted house setting to become a detective story. But what really stands is the way the author focuses on very extreme examples of motherhood and–beyond the supernatural mystery–the way the protagonist is forced to deal with the challenges of being a single mom.
