Look for a bonsai club within reasonable driving distance. (I drive an hour each way; to me that's "reasonable.") The members will be familiar with your growing conditions, and can give better climate-specific advice than I can from close to 2K miles away.

I suspect some of them were already moribund when you got them. Trees and shrubs live on a slower time schedule than we do, you might say; if they die within a few weeks, or even a month or two, they may well have already been beyond recovery.
