Salt & Stone by Victoria Scott Series: Fire & Flood #2 Release Date: February 24th, 2015 Pages: 320 Goodreads: Add to your bookshelf Pre-Order: Amazon | B&N | iTunes | TBD Excerpt I swallow and stare at him in the dark, my entire body itching to feel his touch. When I see the anticipation in his stance, the way he looks at me as if I’ m both infuriating and appealing — it makes me feel powerful. But when he takes a step in my direction, that power plummets to some place untouchable. Now I’ m a seventeen-year-old girl again, standing in the shadows with someone who feels like he’ s lived three lives to my one. “Come with me,” he orders. There’ s no room for refusal, and I don’ t want there to be. He takes my hand to help me step over sleeping bodies, both human and Pandora. When I stumble, he leans over and sweeps beneath my knees. I’ m brought into his arms with the same ease I may use to curl a rabbit to my chest. But I’ m not such an innocent, silent creature. I’ ve got spirit and fire in spades. Though, right now, as he carries me to the single back bedroom, I have neither. I’ m somebody else now. I’ m Tella Holloway, Boston girl turned Montana transplant, sitting on the edge of her bed, awaiting her very first date with the boy who makes her parents uneasy. A boy who doesn’ t speak nearly enough, but […]

Salt & Stone by Victoria Scott Series: Fire & Flood #2 Release Date: February 24th, 2015 Pages: 320 Goodreads: Add to your bookshelf Pre-Order: Amazon | B&N | iTunes | TBD In Fire & Flood, Tella Holloway faced a dangerous trek through the jungle and across the desert, all to remain a Contender in the Brimstone Bleed for a chance at obtaining the Cure for her brother. She can’t quit–she has to win the race, save Cody, and then fight to make sure the race stops before it can claim any more lives. In the next legs of the race, across the ocean and over mountains, Tella will face frostbite, sharks, avalanche, and twisted new rules in the race. But what if the danger is deeper than that? How do you know who to trust when everyone’s keeping secrets? What do you do when the person you’d relied on most suddenly isn’t there for support? How do you weigh one life against another? The race is coming to an end, and Tella is running out of time, resources, and strength. At the start of the race there were one hundred twenty-two Contenders. As Tella and her remaining friends start the final part of the race, just forty-one are left–and only one can win.

Bookish News: Salt & Stone (Fire & Flood #2) by Victoria Scott

A NOTE FROM VICTORIA SCOTT I can’ t believe how amazing these past couple of weeks has been. Fire & Flood is officially out in the world, and it’ s an incredible feeling. To see it on shelves and hear readers’ reactions to some of my beloved scenes has provided me heaps of writing fuel. And this is good news since I’ ve been elbow deep in revisions for book two. Ah, the second book. What can I tell you without spoiling the ride? Well, I can say this—I believe in packing each book with more action than the one preceding it. I believe in continually raising stakes, testing characters, and strengthening relationships. There are many scenes in book two that break my heart, and others that make me laugh. There will be frostbite and avalanches, oceanic storms and twisted new rules. There will be deaths of beloved characters, and new Pandoras to adore. And there will be fierce battles between Contenders and Pandoras alike over the one thing everyone wants—the Cure. For it all comes down to this: Who will be the one to cross the finish line first? The answer may surprise you. Now, let’ s get on with what you’ re here for—the first nugget of information about book two! The official title and release season are… SALT & STONE COMING SPRING 2015
