Welcome to my favorite Feature:
“Waiting on” Wednesday is hosted weekly by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
Fire & Flood by Victoria Scott
Expected publication: March 11th 2014 by February 25th 2014 by Scholastic Press
Â
A modern day thrill ride, where a teen girl and her animal companion must participate in a breathtaking race to save her brother’s life—and her own.
Tella Holloway is losing it. Her brother is sick, and when a dozen doctors can’t determine what’s wrong, her parents decide to move to Montana for the fresh air. She’s lost her friends, her parents are driving her crazy, her brother is dying—and she’s helpless to change anything.
Until she receives mysterious instructions on how to become a Contender in the Brimstone Bleed. It’s an epic race across jungle, desert, ocean, and mountain that could win her the prize she desperately desires: the Cure for her brother’s illness. But all the Contenders are after the Cure for people they love, and there’s no guarantee that Tella (or any of them) will survive the race.
The jungle is terrifying, the clock is ticking, and Tella knows she can’t trust the allies she makes. And one big question emerges: Why have so many fallen sick in the first place?
 I absolutely LOVE Victoria Scott, her Dante Walker series is made of awesome and I love her writing and her characters.  This one sounds absolutely fantastic and I cannot wait to read it! February can’t come soon enough!Â

I’m excited about this one too. I am intrigued with the premise and I love the race name, Brimstone Bleed.

I think this book had me at “her animal companion.” I’m a sucker for pets that come along grave journeys. It makes the feelings just overwhelming, and weirdly, I usually root for the animal more than the people!

As long as the animal companion doesn’t get killed, I’m in. If the critter dies, I will throw the book across the room and not be happy! Loving the premise, though. And that cover is fabulous (though it reminds me a bit of Kendare Blake’s Antigoddess with the feather as a focus).
