Review: Shattered

* Book 2 in the Scorched trilogy *

Trinity's on the run with her two friends, her grandfather, and her dragon.  Emmy doesn't like being cooped up, but there's nothing Trinity can do. She wants to keep her dragon safe.

Trinity doesn't know that Caleb's been letting Emmy out at night for short flights. While out flying, Emmy meets a girl in danger. Emmy helps heal her and in the process gets caught on camera.

Everything Trinity's worked for goes up in smoke when the video goes vial and Emmy's spotted in public.  Both the media and the government are ruthless at discovering the whereabouts of Emmy and  Trinity. Can they stay one step ahead of will their future go up in flames?

My Thoughts: A great sequel filled with lots of action and danger. Bed choices set off a chain of reactions that no one has the power to stop. Trust and loyalty are both called in question.  Trinity's not sure who to trust - and that includes Emmy. It's heart-breaking and it made my heart pound. So many things happen in this book that make me long for the next book immediately to see how it all turns out!

Review: Scorched

Trinity worries about keeping the family museum alive and the bills paid on time She sold her mother's ring for rent money, but instead of paying rent, her grandfather bought an egg for the museum.

It's supposedly a dragon egg. Annoyed, Trinity yells at him and makes him go home while she cleans up for the day.

Almost immediately, she spies a boy about to break the egg. She stops him.  As she's questioning him, men break into the museum. It's not clear what they want, but everyone seems interested in the egg.

The boy helps Trinity escape for the moment. She doesn't understand why she's on the run with this egg and why all these people want her.  Could it have something to do with the voice in her head?

My Thoughts: A start to a new fantasy series that's filled with action, danger, dragons, and a little romance. I like both the brothers - even though they hold very different views. I enjoyed figuring out their relationship. I loved the moments between Trinity and Emmy - especially flying together. The view from the future is horrific, but I love watching Trinity an the brothers struggle to make the world (and the future world) a better place and how they acted upon their ideas. I can't wait for more in this story.

Cover Thoughts: Love it - Love the cover without the jacket more - those scales!
