MacKenzie Reed

I recently read "The Rosewood Hunt," the debut novel by Mackenzie Reed, and it truly tugged at my heartstrings. The main character, Lily Rosewood, instantly drew me in with her resilience and bravery in the face of devastating loss. Having lost her father and grandmother, she grapples with profound loneliness and the shocking discovery that her inheritance is missing. Left with a trail of cryptic riddles, clues, and puzzles by her grandmother, Lily sets out on a journey to unravel the mystery of the vanished fortune. Throughout her quest, she leans on the unwavering support of her friends Quinn, Caleb, Leo, and Adrian as they race against time to outsmart adversaries. As the peril escalates, Lily is confronted with the possibility of betrayal from someone she holds dear. Amidst the harrowing challenges, she also finds herself navigating matters of the heart. "The Rosewood Hunt" is a poignant narrative of courage, companionship, and the unwavering pursuit of righteousness. This young adult novel held me spellbound from start to finish. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more by Mackenzie Reed.… (lisätietoja)
