Fading

Living in a small town like Woodvine, North Carolina, means everyone knows everything about everybody. The same goes for seventeen-year-old Leath Elliott who can't seem to escape her tragic past and the loss of her father. Her only break from reality is through recurring dreams where she's spent a lifetime growing up with a boy she's never met. When a stranger shows up in the form of James Turner – a mysterious boy with a dark past – Leath begins to wonder if her dreams might be coming true. Literally. Things get complicated when Leath finds out that James' sudden appearance in her small town is anything but a coincidence. Demanding answers, Leath confronts James, but nothing could have prepared her for the truth he tells her. Now, the future she once saw in her dreams and the boy she's falling for is fading fast and Leath must make the ultimate decision between giving up her freedom or giving up her heart.

How far…how long would you search for The One? To say Leath is traveling light is an understatement. She's only bringing three things on her trip. One is a silver heart locket--a gift from her longtime best friend-turned-boyfriend Victor Santana. Next is a wedding token in the shape of a J, from James Turner. And of course, she's packing her pistol. That's it. She knows that when she leaves Woodvine, even her mother may not remember her in the shifted reality that will be left behind. Bringing anything else would be pointless. But she's driven by something that eclipses everything else, something she just got back: her memories. And now that she remembers James--she won't stop searching until she finds him. A fast-paced romantasy with rich characters and immersive storytelling, Searching is the second book in the Fading series by award-winning author Cindy Cipriano.

What do you do when no one is who you believe them to be? Leath's dreams are on the cusp of becoming reality when Judaculla magic creeps into her world, revealing itself in new and disconcerting ways. When Leath is offered a hand of friendship from an old enemy, she begins to question everything around her. Relationships are tested, including Leath's relationship with James, who is struggling with his own demons. As time runs out for James in both worlds, Leath wonders if she ever really knew him at all. And don't miss the next book in the series, Believing!
