The Maze Runner by James Dashner - Thomas comes to in a metal box, unable to remember his past. Thrown into a group a teenage boys who won't explain what's happening, he gradually learns they are trapped in a maze with no way out. I liked this better than I thought I would and I'll be reading the second in the series. Some violence and death.
*Had to watch the movie after reading this and found it a disappointment. Lots of changes and many of the actors were too old.

Rock With Wings by Anne Hillerman - the author is back with her second book using characters from books by her father, Tony Hillerman. Mysterious lights, suspicious characters, movies, and solar power all mix together in incidents investigated separately by husband and wife officers Chee and Manuelito. Some problems with time management by the author that I found irritating.

The Scorch Trials by James Dashner - Thomas and his group have to cross a burning desert to reach a safe point where they will be rescued. Lots of running and action. I do enjoy these action escapist books once in awhile. More violence.

The Death Cure by James Dashner - I got so caught up trying to figure out what was going on I had to read this in the same day. I even bought the third book for my Kindle rather than be on hold at the library. Thomas and his friends try to escape the Creators. I found this a little disappointing. Almost as if the author didn't know how to finish and left some questions unanswered. Quite a bit of violence and death.
