Red: Renewal
She was never supposed to survive.
Red lives on Earth in hiding, a Super from Exeliato, a planet that was completely destroyed. Her only advantage? She can hear thoughts no one else can… secrets, fears, truths people would kill to keep buried.
But when her father vanishes, everything changes.
The thoughts get louder.
The danger gets closer.
And humans begin questioning.
As attacks rise and old enemies resurface, Red is pulled into a hidden war alongside her closest friends, and the Greats, a powerful group sworn to protect their kind. But the pressure is building fast, and every choice she makes could put the people she loves in danger.
Because the more Red uses her ability, the more unstable and powerful she becomes.
And as the truth behind Exeliato’s destruction begins to unfold, one question becomes impossible to
Will she survive what’s coming…
Or lose everything trying to stop it?
Explosive, emotional, and deeply hopeful, Renewal is a Christian-inspired YA fantasy about identity, loss, courage, and the quiet light that guides us even when we don’t know who we’re becoming.
Perfect for fans of supernatural adventure, found family, and stories where the hero rises from the ashes stronger than before.

Ok, besides me being far too old for a YA novel…this book was still a really good read!
The shifters, supers, magic, and secret society elements pulled me right in, and I enjoyed the story enough to already be excited for what comes next. The young love is just the cherry on top!
I was Team Tyson from the start and only loved him more as his character evolved. Red & Tyson are going to do some wild things…or will it be Red & Andy?????
They did X dirty with that ending, and I cannot wait to see what happens with that part of the story.
Overall, I say YES! Give it a read.
