When sixteen-year-old Adelaide Monroe's beloved grandma mysteriously vanishes, the small town of Redwater is quick to move on. But not Adelaide-fueled by a blazing temper and an insatiable need for answers, she refuses to let her grandma's case slip into the shadows. With the police ready to abandon hope, Adelaide dives deep into a web of family secrets and hidden truths, navigating the underbelly of a community that has more to hide than she ever imagined.
Enter Harvey Laurel: a boy with wolverine characteristics and an air of mystery. Unbeknownst to Adelaide, their paths are fated to entwine, as Harvey harbors secrets of his own that may hold the key to her grandma's disappearance. But as feelings spark between them, Adelaide must grapple with the danger of letting someone in, risking both her heart and her mission.
In this gripping tale of perseverance, friendship, and the bonds of family, Seeking Red invites readers to explore the lengths one will go for love-and the true meaning of bravery. As Adelaide confronts not only the darkness of Redwater but also the tempest within herself, she discovers that sometimes the fiercest battles are waged not against others, but within our own hearts. Will she find the truth before it's too late, or will the shadows of the past claim her as their own? Join Adelaide on a journey that will ignite your spirit and tug at your heartstrings, as she seeks not only the color red but the truths that lie hidden in the depths of her family's legacy.
