Andrea doesn’t know if she wants to kiss Tanner or kill him.
Tanner has decided he wants more than just an epic love/hate relationship.
The newest edition to the Frigid series, Scorched is yet another 5 star novel by Jennifer L. Armentrout.
A trip away with friends should be a fun and relaxing time, instead it becomes clear that Andrea’s life has been spiralling out of control and is only picking up speed. What else is clear is that despite how much Tanner and her friends want too, the only person who can save Andrea is herself.
One of my favourite authors, Armentrout has created another captivating novel full of passion and a magnetism that will have you reading until the very last page.
Mental Illness in books is something that is either over dramatised or falls short of the mark, so I was shocked by how well it is balanced and conveyed in this novel.
The portrayal of Andrea’s depression and anxiety was so real, that at times, I had to put the book down so I wouldn’t burst into tears.
Another aspect that I loved was that having someone love her or falling in love herself didn’t magically heal Andrea. This was a refreshing change from what is a seemingly common occurrence in most novels.
While Scorched does NOT contain graphic or violent material, people who have or do suffer Depression/anxiety may be triggered or unsettled by this novel- purely because of how realistically it has been written.
Despite having what could be considered heavy subject matter, Scorched is still a fun and creative novel. Tanner’s charm and Andrea’s sass combine to create entertaining dialogue that will have you laughing out loud, while Armentrout's signature romanticism will have you swooning in the corner wishing Tanner were real.
Scorched is a must read novel and can be read as a stand-alone.
I also recommend you read Jennifer’s blog post Being Brave.
