Purchase options and add-ons
Officer Teddy Barnes is a good man.
One of the few left in the twisted and depraved town of Juniper.
He has a mystery to solve during one of the worst blizzards ever recorded. People are being murdered by fire. Burnt alive. Reduced to carbon.
Lisa, a young woman with a tragic past is helping Officer Barnes with the case. She’s desperate to save her lover and end the long-suffering nightmare that’s consumed her life.
Their stories will collide with enough force to shake the pillars of Heaven. Or Hell. This is Juniper, after all…
Set after the events of Juniper and Tome, Scorched is the third instalment of Ross Jeffery’s macabre trilogy. Deliciously creepy, with unscrupulous characters, ethereal elements and a gut-wrenching storyline, Scorched will have you burning up by the time you read the last page.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2023Dust, rain, and, this time, snow...with a dash of fire. The backward town of Juniper is revisited once again with the flowing yet wrenching prose you've come to expect from Ross Jeffrey. Reminiscent of Stephen King, you'll want to add this to your bookshelf.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2023This one is brilliant. SCORCHED is a masterwork of terror from one of the hottest authors in horror. It's a harrowing, bleak, and beautifully-written conclusion to a truly epic trilogy. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Revenge is a dish best served Scorched!
I usually start books reviews by declaring that I am not a professional writer and that this is just the view of book fan, to excuse my shoddy writing. I now also feel that I should point out that I am a massive fan of Ross’s work so this review is potentially biased. Having said that, surely that’s the first testimony here regarding why you should read this book. Just by way of balance I had to buy the book and will not benefit from this review!
Regarding the review itself, I am thinking this might be a slightly pointless endeavor. If you have not read Juniper or Tome, stop right here and go read the reviews for Juniper and get stuck in. If you have read Juniper and Tome then I doubt you will be reading reviews to make up your mind if the book is worth reading because you will already know that OF COURSE IT IS!!
I have been viewing this as a Juniper trilogy finale. If that is what it is then this book delivers the cataclysmic ending that the series deserves. Personally, I am hoping that this is just another book in the series and that Ross will unearth some new evil festering away in a dark corner of Juniper, as yet undisturbed.
Scorched is a lot of things, but fundamentally it is a tale of undying love, pain and revenge. To say it’s a classic good versus evil tale would not be doing it justice. We must remember this is set in Juniper where evil crushes the good in anyone that breathes – a place where being good and staying good is an eternal struggle.
There are some amazingly cinematic set pieces in this book. Some of us prefer books to films as we picture what’s happening while we read it. I was not just picturing what I was reading, I was there – just read the first 30 or so pages, lose yourself in the text and you will see what I mean. Ross has a serious gift for written cinematography.
Going back to basics though; this book is simply a well-crafted and perfectly paced horror novel. It grabs you from start and drags you along with no letup, which is everything you want from a story. Some trilogies become tiresome and bloated in an effort to justify their existence. This trilogy, if this is truly where it ends, is three great stories which could all stand alone in their own right and is certainly a trilogy you will not want to end.
