Violet Grenade by Victoria Scott is dark, edgy, and the kind of twisty that keeps you glued to the pages.

I've been a long time fan of Victoria Scott's writing since her DANTE WALKER trilogy and her FIRE & FLOOD series. Today, I'm so excited to be able to share with you an exclusive excerpt of Victoria Scott's newest book, VIOLET GRENADE! Enjoy!

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly feature by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming book releases that we're excited about! This week's pre-publication that "I-Can't-Wait-To-Read" selection is:

Fire & Flood by Victoria Scott is an exciting new teen series filled with an adrenaline rush of action, danger and romance.

Young Tella Holloway becomes a contender in a deadly survival race know as the Brimstone Bleed desperately hoping of winning its prize: a cure which would save the life of her sick brother Cody. There's a catch of course, there can be only one winner and survival is not guaranteed. With little or no experience Tella joins the Brimstone Bleed, her only companion, an odd shaped egg, dull and cracked, holding within it an unhatched Pandora. She is instructed to treat it well and it will protect her when she needs it the most. This epic quest crosses through the terrain of a terrifying jungle and deadly desert, pushing Tella's endurance to unimaginable lengths. Joined by others in the race, Tella finds friendship and help within a close knit group of contenders, and possible romance in the midst of a game of life and death.

Fire & Flood is a pulse-pounding, edge-of-your-seat read that grabs your attention and does not let go. You stumble into the race along with Tella not even sure
