DescriptionSolving the Maze was supposed to be the end. 
 
Thomas was sure that escape from the Maze would mean freedom for him and the Gladers. But WICKED isn’t done yet. Phase Two has just begun. The Scorch. 
 
There are no rules. There is no help. You either make it or you die.
 
The Gladers have two weeks to cross through the Scorch—the most burned-out section of the world. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them. 
 
Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken. All bets are off. 
 
There are others now. Their survival depends on the Gladers’ destruction—and they’re determined to survive.


My Review:
     Hearing about the movie coming out soon in late 2015, I just had to pick this book up! I read The Maze Runner quite a while ago, so many characters and events were puzzling me when I started this book. I remember reading a few chapters of The Scorch Trials from the back of the first book and it was something that kept me on the edge. I don't know what took me so long to continue the series.

     The first page of this book kept me going. It was another adventure I wanted to delve into. Everything was a mystery at first because you don't know what happens to the Gladers and what they have coming for them. After time, a lot of questions get answered and it leaves the reader satisfied.

     If you're hoping for romance in the book, there's a few chapters between Thomas and Teresa, but also other characters as well. I was extremely surprised at Teresa's character and can't wait for how it looks like on the big screen! Death does occur in this book, just like the first, and plenty of things are quite weird. But it's a great world to get to know and one of the societies that I love seeing involve with difficult scenarios for the Gladers to get past.
