Title: The Scorch Trials Author: James Dashner Series: The Maze Runner (book 2) Publisher: Chicken House Ltd Release Date: 5 Jun. 2014 ISBN: 9781909489417 Synopsis Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escaping meant he would get his life back. But no one knew what sort of a life they were going back to... Burned and baked, the earth is a wasteland, its people driven mad by an infection known as the Flare. Instead of freedom, Thomas must face another trial.

My Review I enjoyed Maze Runner overall but had a few reservations, but I was intrigued to find out more so started to read Scorch Trials. The Gladers are out of the maze, but it's not the comforting end they hoped for, instead the experiments continue, but on a much larger and more dangerous scale.

I was sent an ARC of this book, and I've heard nothing but great things about the first book in this new series, so I decided to read this right away.
Blood Feud is the second in the Drake Chronicles series. The Drakes are a family of vampires. That said, this book is much more "Buffy" than Twilight. It's full of action, and humor, with some romance. This volume deals with Isabeau, a Hound princess vampire who was created during the French Revolution and left in a coffin for 200 years, and Logan Drake (the frock coat wearing brother of the Drake clan). Told in alternating view points we find out about a new plot to kidnap Logan's sister, and usurp the Drake family to rule the vampire clans.
I liked the touch of historical fiction in here, and the action was strong. Isabeau was a bit annoying at times, and Logan was a bit too interested in his clothes for my taste. The humor is what really kept me going though. There were times when I had to read parts of this out loud just to share the lines with whomever was near me.
