Description In Pursuance Of Books Scorch (Croak #2)
Sixteen-year-old Lex Bartleby is a teenage grim reaper with the bizarre ability to damn souls. That makes her pretty scary, even to fellow Grims. But after inadvertently transferring her ability to Zara, a murderous outlaw, Lex is a pariah in Croak, the little town she calls home. To escape the townspeople’s wrath, she and her friends embark on a wild road trip to DeMyse. Though this sparkling desert oasis is full of luxuries and amusements, it feels like a prison to Lex. Her best chance at escape would be to stop Zara once and for all—but how can she do that from DeMyse, where the Grims seem mysteriously oblivious to Zara’s killing spree?Rating Of Books Scorch (Croak #2)

This and other reviews can be found on The Psychotic Nerd Short and Simple Review Like the last book in the series, I struggled to find hilarity. Yes, the characters are witty and sarcastic, and I loved their repertoire, but...there is so much stress. The characters are constantly in danger and there is so much hate being pushed towards them. This isn't a series I would recommend if you want a feel-good read. I did like how the world of the reapers is expanded upon. The characters go to a newHighly enjoyable book with amazing plot twists and a killer ending: Gina Damico has really stepped up her game. I can't wait to read Rogue!
Holy reaper scythes covered in BBQ sauce - Gina Damico has done it again!Gotta love them reapers! Especially Lex and her Damning abilities which are all like: And I have to give a special mention to the best relationship EVER...Lex and Driggs! Seriously, every single time I spotted the word "Driggs" I was like: Sad...but true.:D
Originally reviewed on reutreads, a young adult book blog.The follow up to March's first installment in the Croak series, CROAK, is that rare second book that is like most middle-books in trilogies, a bridge from setup to finale, but also manages to improve on the first book. I can now safely say that CROAK and SCORCH are two of my favorite books from 2012. While the synopsis makes it seem like most of the book takes place in DeMyse, this is pretty misleading, since it's to DeMyse that the
Color me surprised, becase I did not expect this book to go into this direction.First of all, I love these characters! Especially Driggs and Uncle Mort. Edgar Allan Poe and now King Tut (Tutanchamon) in the afterlife are always a fun addition!The tone of this sequel is quite different from book one, which is both a pro and a con for me. A plus because the storyline is different and new and interesting. More fast paced. And yes, more dreary, but still somehow loads of fun anyway. As to why the
When I finished the book, I thought I would need some time to reflect on it and decide what to give it. I was very conflicted, because there are some things I really like about the book, yet I also felt it had some deep flaws. I was uneasy about Croak, but this book just made me even more unhappy with some of the series' flaws. There will be some pretty major spoilers (for both Croak and Scorch) in this review, so be forewarned.My biggest, hugest beef with this series is the consequences of
Lex sighed and readied her scythe. Yeah, well, love doesnt always beat out fear.Sometimes it does, he replied with a smile, pecking her on the nose.Christ, Driggs. Youre turning into a Lifetime movie.Your defense mechanisms are captivating, as always. Aaaah this series. I am so in love with this series. I repeatedly explained in my last review that this series was perfect for when youre busy, down, or just need a laugh. As it turns out? Im all three. Which I also wouldnt shut up about in my
