Smoked

****

4 Stars/5

Thanks to Netgalley and SourceBooks Fire for giving me this book to review.

After almost 6 months of trying to find Emmy, Team Dragon rescue her and Scarlet from the government labs. However, Emmy is not the same dragon she was before and she has a dangerous secret that could trigger the apocalypse they want to prevent. With everyone, including Trinity, Connor, Caleb and Scarlet having their own secrets and agendas they are all to stop The Scorch but will anything stop the spark that will destroy the world.

Smoked is the really enjoyable third and final book in the Scorched series. It is very fast paced and I could not put it down and it felt more emotional than the previous books. It was action packed but it did have less romance, however, this was not a bad thing as it would have altered the tone of the book.

I didn’t like Trinity much in this book as she seemed very selfish, especially towards Scarlet who she was not very nice to considering Scarlet was held captive to help Trinity. While I liked all the other characters they all had little things which irritated me.

I did enjoy the ending of this series but it was a bit predictable, and I do look forward to reading other books by Mancusi. I would recommend Smoked to fans of the first two books in this series.
