![]() ![]() ![]() There are some truly heartwrenching moments here that just pull at my heartstrings, which I didn't really expect. However, that happy go lucky element is replaced by character development, plot twists, deepening relationships, and even deaths. This book is much darker than its predecessor and is in short supply of its fun and lightness. Hopefully she can stop Zara before she Damns her closest friends and family.Scorch starts up shortly after Croak left off with the wake of rage and guilt that Lex feels over the death of her sister and her unintentional complicity with Zara. As Zara's attacks get more frequent and the inhabitants of Croak get more hostile, Lex, Driggs, and her fellow Juniors flee to DeMyse, Las Vegas on crack and another Grim city to regroup and follow the clues to the Wrong Book, which may hold the key in beating Zara. Most of the Seniors and residents hate the Juniors and especially Lex, blaming her for Zara's crimes and the following mayhem. When she returns to Croak, her welcome is less than warm. Not only is she a Grim that helps bring souls to the Afterlife, but her life has turned upside down with the betrayal of Zara, the Culling of her power to Damn, and the death of her twin sister Cordy. ![]()
