Fire & Flood is nothing like Victoria Scott's Dante Walker novels. It's more like a cross between The Hunger Games and The Amazing Race with a little bit of Pokemon thrown in. It's good - there's excitement, adrenaline, and a little bit of unexpected shock value, but even with all that, I'm having a...
Fire and Flood by Victoria Scott wasn't anything to write home about. It was one of those typical, not so special YA's that seem to be in abundance. The premise was interesting, if not wholly unfamiliar - a mysterious race/contest in crazy conditions and the winner receives a cure. I know everyone i...
Tella Halloway is annoying, and everything I despise in a protagonist. She’s not that bright, worried more about the shallow things in life like nail polish and fashion, and she’s stuck in the middle of nowhere with her family.

I've been sitting here for a while trying to wrap my brain around what I want to say with this review. It's frustrating when you are just ambivalent toward a book. I tend to live in extremes with my books, either mad love or hate. Fire & Flood just wasn't that intriguing for 80% of the book. It's ...
When I saw that Scott is writing a new series, I was super excited. When I got approved for the ARC it was exhilarating. Then a few of my reading buddies wrote reviews, and they were rather a mixed bunch. Some really didn't like it, others loved it. So I felt rather cautious by the time I started re...
Check out more of my reviews at Little Miss BookmarkUsually, after I finish a book and it comes time to write up the review, I have a pretty clear idea of what I'll be saying about the book. I'll have looked through my notes and formulated what I see as being the best (and most fair) review for me t...
The woman pauses dramatically. “I’d like to officially welcome you to the Brimstone Bleed. May the bravest Contender win.” Wait, what? “Put this on your shirt.” It’s a small gold serpent pin, and it’s fairly heavy. Well, isn't that just fucking special? This book is half Hunger Games, half Digimo...
