What's the name of this book series?

So, I remember reading these books approximately 20+ years ago.

It was about a girl who lived in like, the 1800s or something and she was a witch and could time travel, I think? And she had a friend or cousin who knew her secret.

Am I making this up?

Please tell me someone remembers...

I like privacy. A lot.

  • Its not Outlander is it?  The first book was published in the early 90s I think.  She is a WWII nurse who time travels by accident and ends up in the 1700s.  Some of the people there think she is a witch since no one knows her and she is different but she isnt actually a witch.  She meets a Jamie Fraser, a hot Scottish guy and then it gets realky good.  Is that it?

    No, it's definitely not Outlander. The main character was a teenaged girl, I think.

    Is it Witches?

    Here's the book summary:

    "There are witches in the world...some are good and some of them are downright evil. Amanda Givens is careful how she uses her powers. She doesn't want the people of Canaan, Connecticut, to know they have a witch among them...even a good, white witch. For years, she's lived quietly in a remote cabin in the woods with Amadeus, her feline familiar. When she's wrongly blamed for a rash of ritualistic murders committed by a satanic cult, she knows she can't hide any longer. She's the one the cult's after. More than that, she's the only one who can stop them and prove her innocence. In doing this, she's drawn back in time by the ghost of the malevolent witch, Rachel Coxe, who was drowned for practicing black magic in the 17th century. Now, as Amanda tries to rehabilitate Rachel's reputation in an effort to save lives, as well as her own, she has to rely on a sister's love and magical knowledge, and a powerful sect of witches called the Guardians, to help her get home safely."

  • Do you remember any other details? I read a lot of time travel and witch books but this isn't ringing a bell yet. You're sure there was more than one book? YA? 
    yeah, there she was ... like disco lemonade ...
  • cbwmcbwm member

    Maybe it wasn't time travel?

    Definitely YA, and I'm 98.3% sure it was more than one book.

  • We're they scary, sad, fun/funny? Remember any villains or conflicts?
    yeah, there she was ... like disco lemonade ...
  • Set in America? England?

     

    I know you probably don't remember ... Just seeing if I can trigger anything.

    I think I remember them being humorous, and very fluffy in nature.
