Scorched is the first of a three book series about Trinity who is the chosen or "Fire Kissed" as she is called in the book. Her grandfather runs a failing archeological museum and places all hope to stay open on what turns out to be a dinosaur egg that has been sent to him. Trinity has been chosen to bond with the dinosaur when it hatches. She quickly finds out that being "Fire Kissed" has put her in the middle of a war between a faction called Draken who believe that dinosaurs will save the world in the future and dinosaur hunters who believe that they will destroy the world. Twins Caleb and Conner are each members of these opposing sides, but soon learn that the war isn't as black and white as they think. Both are attracted to Trinity as she is to them, creating a complicated love triangle that I assume will continue through the next two books. Scorched started out being told from Conner's perspective and probably would have been a better story if it had continued that way. In the end, Trinity's emotional conflicts dominated and ultimately bogged down what could have been a great story. However, overall this was a good book and should continue to provide good reading through the next two books.
