About this ebook

A pulse-pounding thrill ride, where a teen girl must participate in a breathtaking race to save her brother's life--and her own. Time is slipping away. . . . 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 the middle of nowhere 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? Victoria Scott's breathtaking novel grabs readers by the throat and doesn't let go.

Ratings and reviews

Flawless. It usually takes me 2-3 weeks to read a book a really enjoy, but I finished this one in 3 days. It never got dull. I never got tired of reading it as I do with some books in the 50 pages or so before the climax. Victoria Scott is one hell of a writer. I think I smell a movie deal some time in the near future. This book would make an incredible movie if it was done correctly. I can't come up with enough good things to say about this book. It only cost $10, but I'd recommend it even if it cost 100.

The best book you can ever read. It has so many details of fighting and the real struggle in the jungle and desert. I recommend this book to anyone if the love HUNGER GAMES. And I hope you love the book as I do.

I have fire & flood and salt & stone. And I just love these books. I reread them at least once a year. I love the plot, it's a really good read. Hard to put down.
