This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Title: Fire & Flood
Author: Victoria Scott
Release Date: February 25, 2014
Summary (from Goodreads):
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?
Why I'm Looking Forward To It: Everything about this book sounds right up my alley - from The Hunger Games feel to the animal companions. This is going to be one epic book, and I cannot wait to get my hands on it!!!
So what book are you waiting on this Wednesday?
Okay, I have to admit that this one does sound really cool! I like the animal element and the plot sounds simple, which is usually a good thing!

ReplyDeleteHonestly, the words thrill ride alone are enough to make me want to read this. It looks great, too bad we have to wait so long.

VERY nice WoW pick!!! I haven't read any of Victoria's books yet (I've been swamped with review books), but everything she writes sounds so amazing, and I can't wait for Fire & Flood! It sounds really unique and original.
