    Información de este libro electrónico

    El Laberinto fue solo el comienzo.
    No te relajes... lo peor está por venir.
    Recuerda. Corre. Sobrevive.

    Cuando Thomas y sus amigos sienten que están a salvo, unos gritos desquiciados los despiertan y los enfrentan a una realidad aún más aterradora que la anterior.
    Para sobrevivir, deberán emprender una travesía en la que cada desafío los enfrentará a nuevos peligros: calor ardiente, destrucción, un aire irrespirable. Cada paso es una sorpresa en una caminata casi apocalíptica. Lo que quedó del mundo es un páramo, a través del cual deberán peregrinar hacia la esperanza (o quién sabe...). Emplazados, perseguidos, rodeados de locura, enfermedad y muerte; amenazados por cuerpos con llagas, devastados por la Llamarada; sin poder confiar en los adultos delirantes, hambrientos y violentos, que los acechan a cada paso.
    Pero para Thomas lo peor será descubrir que lo poco que él creía auténtico en su nueva vida, podría ser también una trampa. ¿Qué es verdad y qué es mentira? ¿En quiénes puede confiar? ¿Hasta dónde llega la manipulación? ¿Cuál es el objetivo de todo ese infierno?

    Luego de Correr o morir, James Dashner vuelve a electrizar al público con esta segunda parte de la trilogía Maze Runner. Más acción. Más suspenso. Una trama que es un disparo al rojo vivo, explosiva y lacerante. Una verdadera prueba de fuego para lectores audaces.

      The Maze Runner was an adrenaline filled mysterious adventure. While the book ended with significant resolution, it also opened up a huge batch of new and intriguing questions and left the book's protagonists poised for another adventure certain to outdo the last. So it's no wonder that immediately after reading The Maze Runner I had a desire to pick up Book 2 in the series and dive into it.The Scorch Trials starts out immediately where Maze Runner left off and immediately raises the bar for intrigue and anxiety. The kids who escaped the Maze are hopeful that they can move to a "normal" life and adjust to the "real world" and all the comforts and pleasures that would afford them. Instead, they are immediately tossed into a mysterious, intriguing, and anxiety producing scenario where they quickly find themselves unsure of what to believe, what to expect and who to trust.The first few chapters are packed full of information to whet the reader's (and the "Glader's") appetite. Unfortunately, what little bit of helpful information these chapters provide are supplemented by a lot of vague suggestions and instructions that shed some light on the horrible state of the world and of the Trials these kids will have to undergo, while at the same time withholding enough information to adequately evaluate and judge the situation.The kids, the Gladers, are set face to face with a number of intriguing characters to spark thoughts and conflict within their group. One of the primary characters they meet turns out to be an escapee from ANOTHER MAZE. That revelation in itself is horrifying in terms of expanding on the sense of scale and nature of things, even if not expounding on the overall goal. Shortly after meeting the boy from the other group, the kids receive instructions from a mysterious man communicating to them through (and protected by) some strange technological means. He outlines a set of instructions to them. They basically have a set period of time to escape their current situation, travel a hundred miles north and reach a safe haven. Those who arrive will live. The rest will die. And it's likely that many will die along the way. With very little else in terms of instruction or information, the kids are left to another life-or-death race. A number of the elements threatening the kids were truly horrifying and a couple seemed straight out of a master horror/thriller novel (I won't spoil it…but the threat within the tunnel they take to reach the surface…that threat literally made me shudder). The new state of the world they discover is also very stark and terrible. So even knowing that they must survive the Trials in order to become a part of the World again, looking at the world around them, it's difficult to know if it's even a desirable end goal.This second book had a lot of thought provoking elements, especially as some of Thomas' memories return to him and as he and the other kids are faced with information from WICKED and others. The nature of the world, of WICKED and of the Trials are laid out in such a way that it's difficult to truly know what to make of everything. It's easy to hate WICKED and what is going on. At the same time, it's easy to see how "their hand was forced" to do what they're doing (although "humanely" speaking, I still argue against it).This novel takes some of the themes from the first and pushes them to the extreme. We're constantly ramming up against questions of who to trust, what to believe and what is right or wrong. There's a strong theme of loyalty and humanity versus self-preservation and survival. Treachery and betrayal take on a key role and add to the ambiguity.In the end, we are once again left with a novel that answers a handful of questions while opening up a flood of new questions and ideas. We're presented with a number of contradictory propositions and left, along with the amnesiac Thomas and others, to try and sort through the details and make a judgment based on limited information.Once again, I really enjoyed this novel and I'm looking forward to finding out what happens next. Scorch Trials ended with a promise of a lot of new information and hope to come, so I'm interested to see just how that promise plays out and what we can expect next.I would warn that this book is intense not only in terms of action, but also in terms of themes and emotion. While the violence isn't highly graphic per se, it is enough to make more squeamish readers wary. If you had any qualms about the nature of the horrible experiences of Maze Runner, I would warn you that Scorch Trials takes some of those experiences to the next level of intensity. So if Maze Runner was already pushing your limits, you may want to avoid the Scorch. By the same token I want to add that I didn't feel that the violence or intensity were so over-the-top as to be extraneous or unnecessary to the story. I felt like, for the message and tone the book needed to portray, these elements were at just the right level…not so over the top as to be disgustingly gruesome, but intense enough to make the reader uneasy about the state of things.From a high level, I enjoyed Maze Runner better as an individual book. I suspect that as the series plays out, I'll find Scorch all the more enjoyable. While it's certainly a satisfying adventure on its own and is very well constructed, in many ways it is certainly a "bridge" novel with a number of elements that don't wholly stand on their own but rather expound on the previous novel and prepare for the following novel. As such, once I have a more complete story, I think the unsettling elements of Scorch will make it more appealing overall.****3.5 out of 5 stars
    • 4/5
      This was good if you enjoy the series, but took me by surprise and shocker with the gruesome violence and freaky chics in this story!
    • 4/5
      his was an excellent follow up to The Maze Runner. There were aspects of this story that I enjoyed better than the first book in this series.
    • 3/5
      Action right from the start in this one, but characterisation is still kind of lacking. I'm intrigued by WICKED, what their ultimate goal really is, and how these tests are supposed to help create a cure for the flare.
    • 3/5
      The series continues, in my opinion the characterisation continues to be weak.
    • 5/5
      This series is going to be the death of me.
      Dang son. Give these kids a break.
    • 3/5
      It was an interesting start..midway had the urge to knock some sense into Thomas... felt that Thomas was indecisive...
    • 4/5
      Originally posted at Read. Run. Study.While I wasn’t dying to continue the trilogy, I was curious to see how things unfolded, so I picked up The Scorch Trials from the library. As with The Maze Runner, this was a fast-paced read that easily held my attention. Dashner continued to do a great job keeping the characters and the reader guessing, particularly when it came to who could and could not be trusted. As with the first book, some of the twists were predictable, but I got caught up in the story anyway.The Scorch Trials was still very plot-driven, but I did find myself becoming more attached to the characters. I particularly felt for Thomas at several key points, though his character still frustrated me a little. I think the most frustrating aspect to Thomas’s character is the frequency with which Thomas seemed to conveniently forget vital information until it was too late. And if I wasn’t afraid of spoiling the story, there would be a lot more to say, but I think I’ll leave it there.Overall, I think The Scorch Trials was a good sequel, and I really liked the story even if some events frustrated me. It left me ready to finish the trilogy. There are still a lot of questions Dashner left unanswered, and there is a lot I still want to know about the world.Rating: 4/5

      They thought the Maze was over...but it had just begun.

      Thomas and the remaining Gladers escaped the Maze expecting relief. What they got was another test from the people they were quickly coming to despise—WICKED.

      Now surrounded by crazed people infected with a deadly disease, they must race to get the cure or perish with everyone else.

      They were told WICKED was good. But can they really trust them? It may be their only option.

      Let the Scorch Trials begin.

      My review: Out of the frying pan and into the fire—that's how it was for Thomas and the gang when they completed the deadly Maze. Only to find themselves in yet another predicament they'd be hardpressed to survive.

      I thought this was a good follow-up to The Maze Runner. It was paced faster, and more exciting, in my opinion. The stakes were higher—everyone's life was on the line if they didn't reach that cure.

      I liked the addition of new characters. The boys' story continues, but we're also introduced to Jorge and Brenda, two “cranks” plagued by the disease. And Group B—the group of girls who had just escaped from their own Maze. With all of these new characters we saw teamwork, yes. But also a lot of trust issues and fighting—lots of conflict that really spiced things up.

      Like I said, there was a lot more excitement in The Scorch Trials, although I did feel that there was just something missing. I would have liked to see more character development, especially with the secondary characters. And maybe something more could have been added to the plot. Also, I didn't really care for the romance between Thomas and Teresa, but that really didn't take away any of my enjoyment.

      Overall, I really liked this book and will definitely want to read the rest of the series. I love the epilogues and glimpse they give of what WICKED is trying to do.

      Content: One or two uses of profanity; some made up words used in place of cursing; kissing.

      So, if you thought that the Maze was twisted, this is totally going to mess with your head. Now, our characters that we have come to know and love are dumped into a baron, burned out wasteland and told they have only 2 weeks to get to the next phase of things. Can they survive? Will they make it in time? And who and how many will be left by the time they get there if they do? These are all questions that burned through my mind as I read the first couple of pages of this novel.

      James Dashner is a gifted storyteller who really knows how to get into the mind of the reader. I have seen several other reviews say that the age range for this novel is 12 ...I am well beyond the age of 12, and still I felt sucked in by the many twists and turns that this novel took. There is so much mystery and intrigue. There is a hint of romance, a lot of suspense and some all around sucky situations that the characters have to make the best of. I felt myself sucked into the angst the characters felt, felt Thomas' anger well within me as I read.

      It is really hard for me to give my honest opinion on this one without giving too much away. You really have to read it. Then you have to come back here and tell me what you think. This is one of the books that screams to be discussed. So, go check out your local library or click on one of the links here to get your own copy. Then come back and talk to me about it. I would love to hear what everyone else has to think. Have you read this series yet(and if you have, do not tell me what happens in Death Cure or Kill order, I haven't read those yet)?

      I am reading Death Cure now, although I started Kill Order first. I saw that Death Cure was actually printed first, so decided I better read that one first. Check out my review of The Maze Runner.
    • 1/5
      The Scorch Trials was the sequel to the first book in the series, the maze runner. This book focused on the events after the gladers escaped the maze. The first book ended in a large cliffhanger which made this book a good choice to read next, although it did not answer many questions readers could have had from the ending to the first book. I was disappointed with this book as it was not nearly as good as the first book of the series. This book did not get interesting or compelling until the very end which made it a hard book to read and stay interested in. I did continue to read to see if the plot would pick up, which it did at the very end, but not as much as I would have liked. I will not continue reading the rest of this series as this book has ruined it for me.
    • 5/5
      Loved it! Bring on book number 3!!! 
    • 5/5
      Just as good the second time around!!!
    • 4/5
      Yay! Dashner didn't let me down. "Scorch Trials" begins with a bang and never slows down. Often middle books in a series are disappointing, but not this one. Full of action, and a fair bit of brutality, this book is a page turner. Having escaped the maze, Thomas and his friends are thrown into another setting full of danger, with killer creatures and the threat of death at every turn, where survival relies solely on their initiative. This is turning into a fabulous series. Now for the finale!
    • 4/5
      This is book 2 of a trilogy. I'm reading the series back-to-back as I think that is how trilogies should be read. In this case it's like one long book, there is no time warp from one book to the other. This book was phase two of the experiment. Nothing is really solved and nothing really exposes more of what is going on. You can trust anything or anyone. It is a nice flow from one book to the other. I'm interested to see how this all ends.
    • 2/5
      This book is just flat throughout....
      The ending is anti-climatic.
      The odd love triangle is totally unnecessary.

      I wanted to read more about the other Gladers and Group B.. but no... the story is obviously turning into a one man show.
      It makes sense that Thomas, being the protagonist, is unlikely to die any time soon... BUT its making all the actions and suspense really predictable!! To make it even more predictable, none of the other main characters ever DIES too, despite of all the thunder lightning, the Cranks and the WICKED monsters etc.
    • 2/5
      I give up.

      I gave it my all. I made it to page 243 and everything, but I just can’t stick with this one. So I’m throwing up the white flag. I surrender. Guess I’m never going to find out what happens to Thomas and his crew of Gladers.

      And the sad thing? I don’t care. That’s how poorly this book was written. It is the second in The Maze Runner trilogy, so it picks up right where Book 1 left off. Thomas and his motley assortment of fellow Gladers have made it back to planet Earth, where they quickly learn the planet has been decimated by a series of powerful solar flares. Millions of people are dead. Most of the globe is uninhabitable. And if that’s not enough, the CDC (or “some disease agency” as one of the character states) released a deadly virus that is plaguing most of the world’s survivors. Thanks to its release at the same time as the solar flare disaster, the virus is called the Flare.

      Within moments of their arrival, Thomas and his fellow Gladers also learn they are part of an experiment coordinated by the “government” in place, and the Maze was only part one. Now, they get to survive part two: the scorch trials, which entails walking across 100 miles of barren wasteland to reach a safe haven, where, oh yeah, they can get the cure for the Flare. Turns out all the Gladers are infected with it.

      As awkward as all this sounds, I was intrigued. I personally love post-apocalyptica so I’m all for a destroyed planet and a band of battle-toughened survivors any day … regardless of what caused the destruction of the planet. But the issue I had with Book 1 is magnified ten-fold in Book 2.

      Emotion.

      I’m sorry to say this but I just can’t get behind the way Dashner expresses his characters’ emotions. I can’t stand the way Thomas gets pissed at (new character) Brenda when she reveals a secret she had been keeping from him, and literally three pages later, says to himself, “she’d gained his trust,” (p. 209). Then you jump ahead to page 217 and it’s “he wanted to trust her.” Come on. The guy trusts her or he doesn’t. Pick one and stick to it until Brenda does something to violate or gain the trust.

      And the whole book is like this. Thomas loves Theresa. Thomas loves Brenda. Thomas loves Theresa. Thomas loves Brenda. This isn’t a case of the guy not being able to figure out which girl he wants. This is a case of on page 5, he’s in love with Theresa, and on page 10, he’s in love with Brenda. I can see that Dashner is trying to create a complicated situation: Thomas loves Theresa, his mind-talking girlfriend from Book 1, but he is also drawn to Flare-infected Brenda. The problem is the writing is so muddled and so weak that Dashner isn’t actually creating that situation. It literally comes across like Thomas is schizophrenic and one day he’s devoted to Theresa; the next to Brenda.

      And with all this muddled mess, there has been no development of these characters. The Thomas that woke up in the elevator on the first page of The Maze Runner is the same Thomas that I quit following on page 243 of The Scorch Trials. Considering everything this guy has gone through, you would think that he would develop emotionally. But nope.

      So sorry. I’m not even going to bother with Book three. Here’s hoping the movie's better.
    • 2/5
      Not nearly as good as the first book in the series. I found it slow in some parts.
    • 3/5
      You won't miss anything by skipping out on this and the third book. Not nearly as good as the first!
    • 3/5
      Another one of those middle books in a trilogy, indeed to take a break from this genre. A little more character development than the Maze Runner (which had zero), but still mostly breathless, purposeless action with a hanging ending leading into The Death Cure. I've decided that I dislike this series, but that doesn't mean I won't read the final book to find out "why?" ... especially since my Builder (step-dad) is hooked and likes that we have our own book group.:-)
    • 5/5
      I have come to the conclusion that James Dashner doesn't like children or at least teens. All he wants to do is see them hurt or killed. Every time I turned around someone or something was trying to kill, torture or betray one of them. So if you like fast paced action, then this book is for you. As for myself. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series.
    • 5/5
      Great story, still trying to figure out what it's all about. I have an idea in my head, guess I'll find out if I'm right next book.
    • 4/5
      Things i like about it:- it kept me guessing, its like I'm solving the WICKED mystery with the characters.. i'm clueless as the gladers.- it takes you to a different world, desolated and ruined.. which scares me a little because it probable, with what's happening iwith our palnet.. you know climate change... - great cliffhanger- MINHO. enough said.What I don't like about it.- its kinda dragging...- its somewhat weird...- it would be much better if the cranks turned full blown zombies... not crazy flesh-eating whatever... i can't just grasped the idea of it...well its not that great... but this book is wicked. and remember wicked is good. ;)
    • 2/5
      Ugh this book was sooooo hard to get through. It was boring with a few exceptions. I just was hoping for so much more. The first book was so good. I just hope that the next is better.
    • 4/5
      Okay, let's be real. I'm a little confused as to why this book has a higher rating than The Maze Runner. I really enjoyed reading this book, but it did not compare to the magic of the original. I guess my expectations were extremely high going into reading The Scorch Trials.The reason? The first book was extremely original and was unlike anything I had ever read, plus it was so suspenseful and to be truthfully honest, I was terrified while reading it. Those grievers were friggin scary! That being said, I really enjoyed The Scorch Trials, and had it been a stand-alone novel, it would have been absolutely amazing. This is the reason I still gave it four stars, because it was an awesome read by itself. It still had the suspense and the fantastic world-building that the first book had. I did really miss the maze though. There was this feeling of claustrophobia in The Maze Runner that really helped the reader feel trapped in the story. I really loved the section of the story that took place in the city, which based on descriptions, I assumed was Las Vegas. If it wasn't, well then that's how I pictured it anyway. The cranks were really scary and the scenes that took place in the tunnels were riveting. I also really enjoyed the scenes in the beginning that took place in the safe house. After a few days, they still remain very memorable to me. I spent the whole book wondering what the heck was going on between Thomas and Teresa, and still received no answers, just more questions. That's okay though, because I'm pretty sure they will all be answered in The Death Cure, which thankfully comes out in October. I really need to know how this series ends. The one thing I have to complain about, as always, is the lack of character development. This still really bothers me, because I wish I was more emotionally invested in the characters. That way, when something bad happens to them I would care more. It's the end of the second book in the series, and I still have really no idea who Thomas is as a person. He's just a name with a face. The books would be a lot more disturbing if the characters felt a little more real. The Gladers language that I hated in the first book was here in the second book, but for some reason didn't bother me as much. I'm not sure if it's because I got used to it or because it was used in a less awkward way. Either way, it annoyed me a lot less this time around. The Scorch Trials really impressed me, and as a follow-up book to The Maze Runner, I think it was a great effort, but as usual it fell victim to sequel disease. It was good, not great. And I can't help but feel a little bit disappointed. Still, it is really worth reading. The suspense is worth it alone.
    • 5/5
      The Scorch Trials, was an enthralling, heart-pounding, page turner that I absolutely consumed. James Dasher seems to have a penchant for writing suspenseful and action packed novels. This novel starts off almost exactly where The Maze Runner left off and though the books are part of a series each had their stark differences. Immediately we are thrown into Thomas's world where questions go unanswered and doubt and fear plague him constantly. Dasher really takes the reader into Thomas's mind brilliantly with limited third person narrative, that allows us to only know as much as Thomas does and quite frankly, it's a bit maddening. In this way Dasher really forces us to identify with Thomas and honestly feel his pain. The Maze is over, complete, and finished and so the Gladers have relaxed and started to dream about their future, but little do they know what the future indeed holds for them is The Scorch Trials. That's right, even though they thought their nightmares were over it turns out they are still smack in the middle of it. The novel rolls on with action scene after action scene playing out beautifully as Dasher so well executes his images on paper. Yes, The Maze has ended but the truth isn't much better. The earth has been scorched by sun flares and a terrible disease, the Flare, is consuming humanity turning people into Cranks which have quite a zombie-esque quality. These Cranks have some utterly terrifying moments in the book and I am truly grateful to Dasher for scarring the pants off of me. The book was a page turner and extremely hard to put down and I thank the constant change of scenery and different character interactions for helping that along. Dasher is not afraid to go to the place that lets us see what human beings are really capable of when faced with catastrophe. Murder and salvation sometimes are mulled over and sometimes are quick and snap decisions. Every emotion is explored through the entirety of the book and it is a hard look at basic human instincts. While I quite anticipate the final book, The Death Cure, which Dasher has promised will answer many looming questions. I love the feeling that I just might be on to something, though he has given me this feeling before only to take it away and replace it with utter hopelessness. Wouldn't it just be brilliant though, if Dasher was to rip all this away from us only to prove we were the ones on which W.I.C.K.E.D. was experimenting .

      Ok, I just finished the Maze Runner and luckily I had this book as well. The maze runner was a really good read. So, I was definitely ready to jump into this one. I dont want to give anything away for those of you that havent read the book so, I will just say this was a really good read, Got through it in a day and now I cant wait for the 3rd book!

      The Good Stuff * Spectacular second book in a trilogy -- we all know that is a rarity - honestly I think it was better than the The Maze Runner * Non stop action with plenty of twists and turns * Will appeal to both male and female readers * Dystopian novel with hints of the Outsiders, The Running Man, Death Race and even a bit of Lost, Serenity (you will think of the Reavers trust me) and The Stand * Could not put it down, I actually counted down till nap time today so I could put my toddler to bed and read the last 80 pages. Stayed up last night to midnight to read, my eyes were drooping but I still wanted to read more * Realistic characters who develop nicely * Nice moral questions put in, would be great for a High School literature course & far less dull than The Lord of the Flies * The writing is so vivid and spectacular you feel like you are one of the characters * Just go buy The Maze Runner and the Scorch Trials if you wanted to become immersed in a fantastic tale that you just can't stop yourself from reading * Now off to hunt someone down who has a copy of The Death Cure -- I'm still totally buying my own copy for my bookshelf (its shelf worthy - hey I got limited space I gotta be selective) but I NEED to read it now * Some nice humour in this one, which was a little lacking in The Maze RunnerThe Not so Good Stuff * Damn wish I had got an arc of The Death Cure so I could find out what happens. Ah well I guess I can practice patience and wait till Oct 11th when it comes outFavorite Quotes/Passages"Yeah , right," Minho said. "And Frypan's gonna start having little babies, Winston'll get rid of his monster acne, and Thomas here'll actually smile for once."Thomas turned to Minho and exaggerated a fake smile. "Ther, you happy?""Dude," he responded. "You are one ugly shank." "With thoughts of revenge actually comforting him in a sick and twisted way, he finally fell asleep.""Sometimes I wonder." Thomas murmured."Wonder what?""If being alive matters. If being dead might be a lot easier.""Please. I don't believe for one second you really think that."Thomas's gaze had lowered while he'd delivered the depressing sentiment and he looked up sharply at Newt's retort. The he smiled, and it felt good. "You're right. Just trying to sound as miserable as you."Who should/shouldn't read * Fans of dystopian literature will be hooked * Would recommend reading The Maze Runner before you read this, otherwise you might be totally lost * Fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent and Stephen King's The Running Man will enjoy * Not for the squeamish or sensitive - it be intense4.75 Dewey'sI received this from Random House in exchange for an honest review - damn you couldn't you have sent me the next book too -- ah wait a second, I get it -- this intrigues me enough for me to go BUY my own copy -- good one LOL!

      If you haven't read The Maze Runner, you MUST before you pick this one up. Thomas, Teresa, and the Gladers have arrived safely and been placed in a dormitory -- the boys separate from Teresa, who disappears the first night and is replaced by Aris, a boy who tells a mirror story of another maze, with only girls living there other than himself. Thomas is frantic about finding Teresa after the building is attacked by zombie-like Cranks and they discover the dormitory staff murdered... until the bodies disappear and a bizarre man dressed all in white explains their next Trial, designed by WICKED and full of deadly variables. The boys have all been infected with The Flare, the disease that causes the zombie-like symptoms of the Cranks, and they have 2 weeks to cross the most burned-up, wasted part of the planet known as the Scorch. If they make it 100 miles north to the Safe Haven, they'll receive the cure. If not, they'll die a bloody, violent, insane death. Heat, storms, and lack of food and water are not their only obstacles. There are groups of Cranks, some more diseased than others, and of course there are murderous technological weapons (like flying blobs of sticky, viscous metal that will dissolve your head). Dashner is a master of disaster, adventure, and plot twists that will send your brain spinning. Lots of blood and guts and gore, so avoid reading right after lunch. Amazing sci-fi for 8th grade and up.

      You would think that I would love this book right? You would think that after so much pain, so much mystery, so much death, that things would start to make sense. Am I right?Now, more than ever before, I am even MORE confused! Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love this book but I have no idea what is going on and there is so much...argh. The first book was amazing but this one was fantastic! I absolutely love Thomas to death but I'm still on the fence with Brenda. Although I have to say, I love her a thousand times more than Teresa.Teresa...you b*tch. Seriously, I don't care if it was part of some experiment that no one understands, I don't like you. And I won't be liking you ever. Thomas and Brenda are actually really cute together so there! I love Minho and Newt and it was great seeing them again. Hope they make it to the end. Heck, I hope my favorite four make it to the end. Fingers crossed!Overall, I loved this book but I HAVE to know how it ends! I'm more confused than ever, nothing makes sense and I need to know what happens. I hope everything is cleared up because this fast paced series gets better and better.Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
