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.

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.

Griffin thought he'd scored the mother-load; an unattended Escalade with the keys in the ignition? Awesome! Unfortunately for Griffin, he doesn't realize that Cheyenne is in the back seat of the car he is stealing until it is too late. Now he hasn't just stolen a car, he's also kidnapped a girl. Kidnapped a blind, sick, teenage daughter of Nike's president none-the-less. Now Griffin must protect Cheyenne from his father's criminal friends while she is held hostage for ransom. All the while Cheyenne is struggling to find a way to escape and save her life.
This novel is told in alternating voices between Cheyenne and Griffin. The concept is extremely interesting and I could not wait to read this book. I even wrote to the publisher in hopes of getting an ARC. Maybe I got my hopes up too high or something, but I just didn't find this book to be as exceptional as many others did. I really liked Griffin's character, but the tension never really got there for me. Also, the ending seemed rushed and just too easy. I really had to suspend belief a few times with this book, and I don't know why but it didn't sit well with me.
