 But there's often more truth found when we sleep than when we wake. Dad used to always say that. 
 Helpless to save her dying brother, and sensing her parents rising unease, Tella knows something isn't right. Cody is on his last legs and when an invitation turns up on her bed inviting her to compete in an elusive race named the Brimstone Bleed, she accepts it immediately; because the prize for winning the race is the Cure. The Cure to any illness. The Cure that can save Cody's life. As one of the most deadly competitions in existence, the race will lead her through the treacherous jungle and through the scoring desert. But it isn't just the elements Tella will be facing. 
 Fire and Flood fantastic, it takes the best elements from Suzanne Collin's The Hunger Games and Joelle Charbonneau's The Testing, to create a gripping, thrilling story that will hook you from the very first chapter. Victoria Scott's way of entangling the character's emotions with the readers was brilliant, I felt like I was there every step of the way. The Pandoras were an awesome aspect of the story and gave the book something that others didn't. I just really love this book :) Everything about it was phenomenal! 
 One thing I have read in other reviews, is the lack of knowledge given about the race itself. You're pretty much left in the dark, BUT YOU FIND EVERYTHING OUT IN THE SECOND BOOK (Salt and Stone). So don't fret! 
 I hope you enjoyed this review and please leave any thoughts or replies in the comments,
