Reviews"Dragons, mind powers, kickass heroine and hot twins? Book, you had me at hello." - Forever Young Adult, "A smoking triptych of time traveling, dubious double-crossing and enough dragons to sate the hungriest of gamers and fantasy fiends." - Kirkus Reviews, "Flashbacks and alternating points of view from Trinity, Caleb, and Connor keep the action moving . . . Each character is flawed and human, forced to deal with the enormity of the impossible decisions they must make." -- Booklist, "Fantastic, witty, fun . . . Scorched is an exhilarating, intriguing and adventure-filled fantasy. Mancusi leaves the reader hanging, even dangling, in all the right places. . . [and] answers the question, "What would the world be like if it was taken over by dragons?" with a definitive, exciting and riveting response: Well, it'd be Scorched . " -- Deseret News, "I've not really read many "dragon" books, but I read Scorched in two sittings and thought it was a really great ride. A very fun read, and the plot twist was intricate enough that I didn't really see it coming. Kind of like Eragon mixed with The Terminator! I enjoyed Trin's character very much, and thought she was a nicely fleshed-out female heroine. I liked the whole animal-rights feel of the book, and how the twins have to come to terms with the grey areas in morality. I think this one will appeal to guys and girls easily." - Amanda Hurley, Inkwood Books, Tampa, FL , "A smoking triptych of time traveling, dubious double-crossing and enough dragons to sate the hungriest of gamers and fantasy fiends." -- Kirkus Reviews, "I LOVED Scorched ! Most of all, I adored the story. That's what rocked this book. I mean, dragons? DRAGONS!! YES! DRAGONS!...But we also have time travel and cool gadgets from the future. I thought the combination was really unique, and I loved reading a dragon book that actually takes place in present day (rather than in a pure medieval-ish fantasy world)." -- Nose Graze, "Dragons, mind powers, kickass heroine and hot twins? Book, you had me at hello." -- Forever Young Adult, "Exciting and original . . . a light, fun, unique take on apocalypse fiction." -- School Library Journal, "I loved every single moment of it. Dragons, time travel, hot boys, and wonderfully written characters and plot. There was also the perfect amount of action and romance. It's one of those books that I wanted to re-read the second I finished it." - Ladybug Storytime, " Scorched is fun, fast and greatly entertaining, a heart-pounding, twisty, time-travel fantasy with delicious dragon mythology!" - Melissa de la Cruz, New York Times bestselling author of The Au Pairs and Blue Bloods series, " Scorched is fun, fast and greatly entertaining, a heart-pounding, twisty, time-travel fantasy with delicious dragon mythology!" -- Melissa de la Cruz, New York Times bestselling author of The Au Pairs and Blue Bloods series, "What a fun read!... It was like unwrapping a layered gift, with each new rip my anticipation and curiosity grew and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough." - WinterHaven Books, "Flashbacks and alternating points of view from Trinity, Caleb, and Connor keep the action moving . . . Each character is flawed and human, forced to deal with the enormity of the impossible decisions they must make." - Booklist, "Tense and action-packed. It's a brave new world, and I reveled in every page!" - Sophie Jordan, New York Times bestselling author of Firelight, "Tense and action-packed. It's a brave new world, and I reveled in every page!" -- Sophie Jordan, New York Times bestselling author of Firelight, "Mancusi grabs readers and drags them into this fantastic world full of time-travel paradoxes, mythical creatures and romance. The beginning of a trilogy you won't want to miss!" - RT Book Reviews, 4 stars, "A smoking triptych of time traveling, dubious double-crossing and enough dragons to sate the hungriest of gamers and fantasy fiends." - Kirkus, "I loved every single moment of it.
