Cloud Red (The Cloud Red) (Volume 1)
By Daisy White
The world is drowning… Fifteen-year-old Red Evans is a water baby, born after The Floods submerged all but a chain of tiny islands. Her bleak life in the government-run Estates becomes even worse when her father is killed in an explosion at his research lab. Convinced her father was murdered and desperate for answers… Red, her half-brother Dett, and their friends Hayden Blazen and Farla Holstein search for her father’s Doc Box of personal effects, which is mysteriously missing from its secure storage location. As the water rises, two powerful leaders with opposing views on how to save the population battle for control. The only thing they agree on is their opposition of the rebel Outsiders. Does salvation lie on a newly-discovered planet—or somewhere much closer to home? Surrounded by secrets and betrayal, Red must uncover the truth. Fighting for survival on a doomed island, Red must learn what her father knew that could have gotten him killed. With the smart, courageous Hayden by her side, Red, Dett, and Farla become swept up in rumors, riots, and civil unrest. As their world slips away, unsure who they can trust, they discover a stunning political plot that could save the last remaining people on earth. Or destroy them all…

MY HONEST REVIEW OF Cloud Red
Red knew she
was named after the worse catastrophe ever, but since no one will speak about
it, she knows very little. When her dad and aunt are killed in a lab explosion,
it’s just a case of a protesting outsider planting a bomb, believing the lab to
be empty. But upon further investigating, Red believes it goes deeper than just
protesting, and may involve someone with very high political powers. But for
what reason?
I loved this
group of characters and the way they slowly developed throughout the plot.
Cloud Red is such a unique name that made me want to know more about the past.
The author’s descriptions helped me to visualize the atmospheric conditions the
characters lived in. It’s hard to imagine such a dreary, depressing existence.
Even so, this made for an interesting and quick read.
