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 own mother may not remember her in the shifted reality that will be left behind. Bringing anything else would be pointless. But she's driven now, 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 fantasy romance with rich characters and immersive storytelling, <i>Searching</i> is the second book in the <i>Fading</i> series by award-winning author Cindy Cipriano.

Set in Woodvine, North Carolina, the story follows seventeen-year-old Leath Elliott, a competitive shooter coping with her father's tragic death. Her close friendship with Victor Santana begins to shift as he develops romantic feelings for her. Complicating matters further is James Turner, a mysterious newcomer with a troubled history, who captures Leath's attention and dreams. The narrative explores themes of friendship, love, and the challenges of moving on from loss.
