<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In the second installment in this morbidly funny series about a teenage grim reaper, Lex tries to track down a renegade grim who is indiscriminately damning souls. But how can Lex be a hero when so many of her fellow Grims have turned against her for her own misdeeds?<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>Praise for <i>Scorch</i></b></p><p>An amusing blend of whimsy and humor with serious drama and blood. <br><b>--</b><i><b>Kirkus Reviews</i></b></p><p>Characters are always as clever as we wish we were. . . .
